Exeter City v Bradford City FA Cup 1st Round Replay Match Day Thread

Seems clear, don't know how we can get out of this one

Oh dear oh dear

Well if we have messed up then unfortunately it will either be replayed or we will be kicked out. If we have broken the rules then unfortunately we cannot complain as we would be kicking off of we had lost and Bradford had made this error.

It depends. I thought the rule was the same as last season of 5 subs with a further permitted in Extra time but we shall see.

Does it mean that the result will be expunged and Therefore Matt Jay loses his two goals?

If you look at section 15, C, ii you can see only 5 subs allowed including extra time.

If this is true, it will be extremely disappointing, given how well we played in extra time.

I'll be interested to hear from the manager, his explanation for how this happened.

What a way to go out of the cup - at least we can concentrate on the League ! UTC

Very tinpot. I find it hard to believe that using 6 subs would be allowed.

 

[MJP_Exeter]

To add to my earlier comments. What role do the officials play though as surely they should be aware of the rules, aware of sub allowances etc. And surely would prevent an illegal sub happening?

Our only defence is the officials allowed it n obviously we're unaware of the rules themselves

 

[Grecian_Matt]

I can only assume we thought we could make 5 during normal time and then an additional sub during extra time.

Either way, the ref shouldn't of allowed it.

Methinks our cup run is over and we will be kicked out.
