[CWH-NYC_]

Just when we think we have seen it all with ECFC….I am in the camp that says we will be out.

Apologies for a link to the Sun..But there is a interesting angle on the 6th Substitution.

EXETER’S place in the second round of the FA Cup is under threat after an investigation was launched into why they used six substitutes in their replay win over Bradford. FA bosses want to know why…

Absolutely embarrassing - when you read the rules it’s clear.

Basic stuff and lost a potential windfall now

 

[Martin Lawrence]

My money is on a replay of the replay.

If we broke the rules then we will be thrown out,we shouldn’t have let it happen,but that’s the way it goes,it would leave us to focus on the league performances without distraction or any more injuries

I think we will be out unless we can show that there is some confusion in the official documentation or something like the ref told the managers before the game the wrong rules.

I've just watched Matt Taylor's post match interview and there's a massive irony that he explains his dislike of the "5 sub" rule!!

So that suggests that the ref was aware they were making a sixth sub and asked if it was a concussion sub?

Look at the live text on bbc . Order is second half finishes, Bradford sub, extra time starts, city sub. I didn’t watch the match . I’ve just read that it’s only 5 so we’re out I reckon.

I'm sure I heard Derek Adams say in his post match interview that he wanted to use his 6 subs the referee agreed at the start of the game !
When Grecians get kicked out Bradford will appeal for Angol's yellow to red card to be expunged also plus us to cough up for travelling expenses.
What a ****-up by all concerned
