Ranaldo Bairn Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 What have they decided about the abandoned game? Replay or result to stand? Delighted to hear the chap at the centre of it is on the mend! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delighted to hear the chap at the centre of it is on the mend! I would be majorly surprised if the result doesn’t stand, given it was 3-0 after 79mins. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of all the cups it’s the one that means the least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redcar Posted December 12, 2023 Share Posted December 12, 2023 Understand the draw process - happens in many sports knockout competitions. But in football, venue is an issue, so why not have a coin toss once the 2 teams are sorted? It's so fecking obvious - to everyone other than the morons who run this hopelessly piss poor league. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there that many non-seeded cup competitions with a set bracket after a single draw? Made worse if its true that top of the ties is always at home in a single game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t think the league can win here, the clubs didn’t want an end of season tournament so they are trying to accommodate the clubs wishes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the sounds of the complaints they did an open draw for the 1st round and filled in the bracket. It's 16 teams they either could have done an open draw for each round. Then still made a graphic. Or they could have done the 1st and 2nd Rounds and done the semi-final draw another time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They could have and might have done, I am sure someone who knows better may comment. Edited December 12, 2023 by Pyramid Watcher 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
