They are removing the red, not changing it.

Will Jesus ever recover?

It seems like every time Arsenal have an attacking set piece, it takes an absolute age to take it. Even when there is an "injury", not sure it is a plot just to stall time

The real one arose again quicker.

How much could Tamworth have earned from a replay at Spurs? Really annoys me that they've got ridden of them when they travel thousands of miles for friendlies.
Whilst I like to see passion, and that was a free kick to United, Fernandes can’t be getting himself booked there. That’s just plain stupid.

Their odds in getting to the next round are significantly higher by playing extra time at their own place (and potentially penalties), compared to allowing the big team to regroup and play a full match at their place.
OK, wasn't to be today for them. But, personally, I'm glad relays are scrapped. Ironically, the biggest argument about keeping replays is because of the money the small team might get. Not all about the money. When replays are played, they just seem a nuisance

Ooh that didn't end well. Weird one though as nothing obvious on the replay. I thought shoulder but not how he was holding his head in both hands...

I get all that, they would've loved a go at penalties and causing an upset. But you say it's not all about money, agreed at premier league and championship level, but surely it makes a massive difference lower down the pyramid?
I'd like to see some yellow cards given to arsenal for time wasting whilst they organise their corners. If someone took that long at the end of the game there would be no question about it. Why let it happen now? It's like watching Patrick Cantlay in action

Don't disagree the money is great for the lower sides. Just, as a neutral, I want their odds to be higher to get to next round.
I live in Lincoln, and know a lot of Lincoln fans. If they drew at home after 90, I want Lincoln to do well so want to see match continue. I've no doubt a good chunk of Lincoln fans would like a replay, and the Chairman.
If the situation happened many times a season, perhaps replays would be good as the money makes a big difference to many clubs. But, it's probably relatively rare, so when a low league team is level after 90, I just want their maximum chances to get through

It sure does. Leeds v Harrogate had a gate of 35,000+. Harrogate have a max capacity of <4000.
If they had played at 'Gate they would have got peanuts.
'Gate now have enough to keep them out of the relegation zone - if they find the right player(s)

Also why is the ref warning them to stop pulling and pushing.?I'd like to see some yellow cards given to arsenal for time wasting whilst they organise their corners.

Just give a foul or a penalty.

It is - but not for little clubs in the FA Cup

I'm sure Bromley are buzzing at the sell out at St James Park too.

They probably wanted it to continue until they saw Son and Kulusevski coming on, at 90 minutes.
Probably get a different answer to replays if you asked the players or the chairman.
Got to say, not a great advert football wise.
Odegaard will be a big miss if his ankle doesn’t hold out.

BBC choosing to take advantage of showing what would be a decent premiership match live? Got it on the cheap

Nice goal. Shame he's such a twit.
