Well aye, but only for the winning side. Whereas Doncaster can draw Man United at home and make a killing on the gate and TV revenue even if they lose 8-0. There's no TV revenue or boosted attendance for Newport v Eastleigh, and one of those sides isn't walking away with the 3rd Round prize money either. So it's just two extra games for very little benefit or intrigue. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's just two extra games for very little benefit or intrigue. In this case there will be a boost to attendance because they know what awaits the winner after the replay but I do understand what you mean if they drew a similar team in the next round. Lineker suggested what they do in the FA Trophy where teams decide whether they want to go to a replay or extra time/penalties before the game and I agree with that and built on it. I think originally a game like Newport vs Eastleigh, both teams may unanimously decide beforehand to scrap a potential replay and go straight to extra time and penalties if needed, however, say Eastleigh win and they have a chance of getting a replay at Old Trafford, there's no doubt they'd choose the replay option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's a blatant example of VAR interfering with the game to make it worse - the referee didn't even give a foul. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colly Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 I don't think the sticking up for their mates really applies, other than the on field almost always agreeing with the VAR after seeing the video. This was just pure incompetence. I've mentioned it before though, the fact they basically see studs and go "red" without even considering the law at all drives me mad. DCL had basically come to a halt, there was no force whatsoever had there actually been contact so it doesn't remotely meet the criteria for a red card. Dale Johnson rightly compared it with Havertz against Newcastle which despite being "a trailing knee" was the reddest red you'll ever see but not given by ref or VAR. As far as "tackles" go that is, before someone comes and says "but Bruno"... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
