Stop whinging, take it seriously in the first game. Yes it does,but i'd put money on the fact that within the next couple of seasons they will have got their way.

He's talking about the actual kids playing in the replay. Some rubbish about respecting the winter break. I hope the fa dock them points, for fielding an under strength team about 20 should be enough. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronnie Starling Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Premier League manager "blah blah scrap FA Cup replays too many games blah blah" Same Premier League manager "We've made 11 changes today" Get back to proper replays like the time Wednesday played Arsenal.

I for one am sick of teams in the top flight whinging how many games they have to play. They will get a winter break and what will happen friendlies in the middle east. They only seem, to have to many games when it's domestic games. I think you’ll find it’s not only top teams that have an issue with replays. Oxford have a squad of 20 and have played (I think) well over 30 games already this season. Their manager isn’t happy with their replay.

Totally agree. Nowt we can do about it. Think the only thing stopping them at the moment, is the TV deal. Which includes replays. After 2021 (I think) we will see the change.

I am sure their chairman too will be unhappy with a replay and full house against premier league newcastle. Ties like this help lower league teams survive.

Hopefully the Liverpool fans all turn up to give Shrewsbury a pay day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmontonowl Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 Extra time after the first tie wouldn't help smaller clubs against top teams. They'd be too knackered. Look at today, Liverpool brought on Saleh and Firmino to join Origi upfront. Add 30 minutes for ET and Shrewsbury would've been stuffed easily. At the very least give the clubs a payday. After all, all clubs outside the EPL need cash. As for Oxford moaning about a replay. Tough. You should've let Newcastle win, then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sefton owl Posted January 26, 2020 Share Posted January 26, 2020 I get that it will be good for Shrewsbury financially.. But equally, watching them get tonked by Liverpool reserves at anfield on a Tuesday night isn’t a spectacle that draws in a wide tv audience is it.

Barnsley went to Anfield and won all those years ago. Nothing's a given. Global sales of broadcast rights have been pre-sold. How many actually watch doesn't matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think they are totally separate competitions. Only thing they could probably do would be to ban them from the FA cup next season. But Liverpool would probably be all for that.
