F A Cup- Extra Time

[PhilTheFragger]

At the moment if a FA cup tie is drawn after 90 minutes then both teams go to a replay at the away teams ground.

Should they bring in 30 minutes extra time rather than going straight to replay

Discuss

 

[Foxholer]

No.

 

[Beezerk]

No, Cambridge would potentially have not got the Old Trafford replay/payday had they gone into extra time.

 

[Pin-seeker]

No, Cambridge would potentially have not got the Old Trafford replay/payday had they gone into extra time.

For this reason I'll say no.

 

[Fyldewhite]

Don't fix it if it isn't broke. Two of the best games I've ever been to were FA Cup replays, away wins after a home draw. I know fixture congestion will probably mean this will be brought in at some point but that will be a shame IMO.

 

[CMAC]

no as the clubs need the money- well, some of them do so a replay with a big club is a double whammy and unusual

 

[LIG]

No - should go to a coin toss :ears:

 

[guest100718]

no they should decide it with WWE style cage match

 

[richart]

No. This is the FA Cup, not some Mickey Mouse one.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

No. And I'd love to see a real old throwback to 2nd 3rd or 4th replays too but of course these days there's too much football to play (really?). Isn't that why the PL sides have 25 man squads to rotate?

 

[pbrown7582]

No it's bad enough penalties after a replay, ties should be won in open play not on spot kicks.

 

[Birchy]

Never.

bring back 2nd, 3rd, 4th...... replays

I agree although Fulham hold a record unlikely to be matched now. Taken from the club website

Every one of the five ties that were won on the way to Wembley were away from the Cottage, and no club, before or since, has played as many matches to get there. It took seven games to dispose of Hull City and Nottingham Forest, before a victory over First Division table-toppers Everton in the Fifth Round.

A win over Carlisle United in Round Six put the Cottagers up against their third opponents from the top flight, Birmingham City, in the Semi-Final, with John Mitchell’s scrappy 119th-minute goal in a replay sending Alec Stock’s men through to Wembley.

11 games to get to Wembley

This sounds a dodgy recollection Homer - Everton, top of the league - yeah right.

One replay, but that's enough for me. Countback on the 2nd half for me, no pennos.

No replays in the league cup though.

[PhilTheFragger]

So that's a resounding NO then

 

[Hobbit]

So that's a resounding NO then

Not from me Phil. I want to see teams playing for a win, really going for it. Definitely don't want to see teams parking the bus.
