FA Cup Q/F - Rule changes

[chaddblue]

I was told today that the FA have made some changes to be brought in starting this year

1) No replays - Extra time and pens on the day

2) A 4th sub can be used during extra time in the q/f, s/f and final

Is this true? Unless I completely missed it, its not been well publicised

 

[the_invisible_man]

must admit, that's the first I'd heard of it but just did a quick google and it appears you are correct on both

 

[Kompany is King]

Think you are right

 

[urban genie]

yes, they anounced it last year at that they were doing it from this year, though it's not well publisised, that's why I am glad we ain't a monday night 8pm kick off, that would be shite if it went to pens.

sounds a good idea, the fa cup is becoming a drain on players when there is big money involved in the other competiions. Might make Pep happier, he wants games in future to have five subs

 

[City_Sean]

Good ideas, our games televised on BT Sport so expecting another whinge fest towards us from an unbiased panel.

I'd ban replays from the 3rd round. The caveat I'd have would be to allow non league teams to determine home or away advantage for their tie.

Don't think this is far away, a quick trial for the qf's this and next season and it'll be in.

I thought this was going to be about a new handball rule.

Made me laugh - we have to!! When did they bring in the rule that all MCFC games would be away?
