Goes penalties anyway, but spurs through, was a big banana skin for them. That Werner is trash |  | | |

I know, but In previous seasons it would have been a replay after the 90. | |

Part of the reason why I haven’t watched one FA Cup game this weekend. Tamworth should sue the FA for loss of earnings.
As much as I was pissed off at our result yesterday, I’m well and truly over it and glad we’re out of it. I won’t be watching any more FA Cup games until our next defeat in January 2026.
If the FA don’t give a f uck about their own competition, why should anyone else. |  | | |

It would be a nice touch if Daniel Levy returned Spurs' share of the gate receipts to Tamworth: 3,700 at £35(?) x 40%(?) = c.£50k
Then again, there is more chance of Tamworth winning the FA Cup than that tightwad doing the decent thing. |  | | |

so frustrating they've gone with this. Teams should have the option to choose a replay or not, and if they both agree can go ahead with extra time. Fine, no one wants Blackburn and Swansea or Palace Everton to go to a replay - they can choose to end it there and then. But Tamworth should have been able to force a replay today and punish Spurs. Not just for the money a replay nets you but for a chance to recover and potentially beat Spurs. |  |

Man Utd have a heavy schedule of friendlies in Asia at the end of the season . These infernal replays won’t help the work load on the players.
It’s not about small clubs . It’s about the Big clubs. | | | |

45% of the gate receipts so if Sours sold 50 000 tickets at an average of £40. Tamworth would receive around £900k. Plus any tv fees and commercial sales by the club themselves, scarfs etc etc
Basically the FA have f....ed the little guy yet again.
But sure Spurs will take their overworked players on a nice little earner tour at the end of the season. | | | |

Sorry, but this will NOT have been the FA's doing, not least because they too receive a cut of the gate, so more games means more revenue for them.
As I mentioned in the other Tamworth thread, this is down to UEFA expanding their already bloated competions to see (midweek) Group games being played into the New Year, meaning the FA can no longer guarantee to find free midweek dates on which to stage replays:

It's completely at the discretion of the National Association and nothing whatsoever to do with UEFA |  |

If Prem clubs cant beat lower league clubs in 90 minutes then a replay should be the absolute default.
Tamworth deserve to have their day at WHL and the financial rewards that brings. It would set the club up for life and this is what the FA cup is all about. Theres not just one eventual winner of the Competition there can be many winners along the way. |  | | |

Suppose a club has the resources to qualify for Europe, then still be involved in European competition post Christmas. Then I think it highly likely that the club would be big enough to put out two separate and competitive sides midweek to cope with fixture congestion involving a European match and any domestic cup replay. |  | | |

Pretty clear way around prem sides not having to do replays... use your £1b squad to win in 90 mins against fellas who have to do plumbing this morning. | | | |

Fixture congestion? Those Premiership softies don't know they're born!
Ahh remember not so long ago that Rotherham 'ad to play 6 league matches between 10th and 24th April 2021. And the only team they beat during that period was us!  | | | |

Of course it's at the FA's discretion, but this season they're up against a new, insurmountable problem, not of their own making, namely UEFA expanding their own match calendar.
Take Spurs as an example. They have already played 6 midweek EL group games so far this season but still have two further EL Group games on Thurs. 23rd Jan and Thurs, 30th Jan. Depending on how they do in those games (as yet unknown, obviously), they might have two further "Knock-out Group Play-Offs" on Thurs. 13th and Thurs. 20th Feb.
They are then open to qualifying for two "Round of 16" games in March, two Quarter Final games in April and two Semi-Final games on 01 May and 08 May i.e. up to 16 potential midweek games in Europe alone.
Add to this the fact they've also had four midweek Carabao Cup ties so far, with another to come on Wed.6th Feb. Should they get to the Final, that will be on Sun.16th March, meaning they'd have to reschedule their PL game on Sat.15th to a midweek date. (Same applies to L'pool, should they go through in Spurs place).
Remember, too, that the PL allows two weekend for the FA Cup 3rd and 4th rounds, meaning that they (PL) need to reschedule their games to midweek instead. And those PL clubs which progress beyond that are scheduled to play 5th Rd/Qtrs/Semi's at weekends in March and April i.e. their PL games scheduled for those dates would then need to be rescheduled for another midweek slot.
And that's just Spurs - there are 6 other English clubs in Europe this season, all facing the same, hideously bloated schedule, with an additional 5th CL place for an English club almost certain to be added next season (i.e. 8 English clubs in total).
Which means there simply aren't any guaranteed midweek slots left to accommodate FA Cup replays - and that's before you factor in possible weather postponements at this time of year!
Besides which, you ignore my point that the FA actually has a vested interest in staging as many FA Cup games as possible, since they take a cut out of the gate receipts from each match.
Meaning they wouldn't have taken this decision if it were at all avoidable.
I suggest a strongly-worded letter to UEFA! [Post edited 13 Jan 16:13]
