FA Cup 2021/22

Some interesting replies thank you, that’s the main thing at any club that the fans are happy with how things are progressing. Naturally non of us are winning every week or getting promoted every year, but is there’s a vision to buy into then that’s key. Sadly we have an owner most of our fan base dont want and doesn’t know or have any interest in football and no real vision, which is why you see the likes of 3000 in the first round of the fa cup in stead of 5-6k that it was when fans were behind the club under Parkinson. And why anything other than a win is always greeted with booes. Until we get an owner and board with a clear vision that the fans accept we’re going nowhere.

I don’t want to piss on any Exeter fans’ chips, but your comments and expectations (or lack, thereof) are the same as Crewe. It’s all cyclical. Get good players, get promoted, flog them, get relegated, wait a few years for some more good players to come through, then rinse and repeat.

I'd argue the main difference is the catchment area for talent each club have and the competition for players

Exeter under investigation for making 6 subs last night instead of the permitted 5, round 2 here we come…

Yeah, I literally just saw that when looking at the line-ups. Why did the referee/assistants allow it?

Surely the tie won't be replayed and you'll just get the win? Few Bradford fans on Twitter suggesting it could be replayed. Worse case scenario for both teams. Just take the bloody win

 

[Devon_Lad]

Edwards off for Sparkes in the 58th min (1)

Daniel & Coley off for Caprice and Brown in the 77th (2,3)

Collins and Dieng off for Atangana and Jay in the 89th (4,5)

Nombe on for Key in the 91st (6)

6 Subs definitely used looking at our Twitter feed updates, yet Bradford have been asked to provide evidence for it..

 

[Luke Imp]

You get an additional sub in extra time?

 

[Kauto Star]

You get an additional sub in extra time?

But they were all in normal time

 

[Devon_Lad]

Could be it as josh key was subbed on after extra time started.. why the FA investigation then?

Could Bradford City be thrown an FA Cup lifeline after Exeter sub blunder?

THE FA have launched an investigation after Exeter made an illegal substitution in last night’s replay, the Telegraph & Argus understands.

[Trapdoor]

LMAO.... how the fuck does the 4th official allow that to happen??

 

[SVH]

How have the officials allowed that to happen? If it's happened then Bradford should be awarded the tie or the replay should be at Bradford.

 

[Devon_Lad]

After extra time not that it matters I don't think

Interesting Debate going on about bringing players through then selling them on.
Unless you are in the top 6 of the premier league it will effect your club.
Even in our premier years we had players who looked to get away to a bigger club.
So I would say the are only half a dozen clubs that are classed as a non selling club.
Everton I would say are a top 10 but will be surprised if Richarlson and Calvert Lewin are there this time next season

(ii) In the Competition Proper, a maximum of nine substitutes may be nominated. Subject to the below a Club may at its discretion use five of those substitute players at any time in a match (including during any period of extra time). Each team is only permitted a maximum of three opportunities to make substitutions during normal time in the Match (excluding half time). If the Match proceeds to extra time, each Club will be permitted to carry over any unused substitution opportunities into extra time and will be permitted an additional (fourth) opportunity to make a substitution (excluding (i) the break between full time and extra time and (ii) at half time of extra time). A substitution can only be made when play is stopped for any reason and the Referee has given permission. Prior to the substitution being made the Club must identify to the Match Officials the number of the player out and the player in, in accordance with the Official Team Sheet.

4th opportunity to make a sub in extra time but no extra sub allowed (unless it was for a concussion).

I seem to remember this happening years ago and the game was replayed. Good job we've not got to worry about booking travel for an away game.

 

[Luke Imp]

But they were all in normal time

One in ET according to the Exeter Twitter feed.

It used to be 3+1 recently, so I assume it's 5+1 now, although 6 subs overall seems high.

 

[denzel ecfc]

But they were all in normal time

Nombe for Key was at the beginning of extra time

 

[valefan16]

Was one for concussion?

 

[Devon_Lad]

Was one for concussion?

No

[denzel ecfc]

You can come back down here on the 30th November then....

 

[Kauto Star]

Ah right, doesn't matter though, it's still only 5 subs allowed including extra time. Given the tie was still 0-0 when you made the 6th sub surely means the result should be void. Whether they make us play it again or kick you out remains to be seen, but surely something has to happen.

Poor from the officials not realising

 

[Devon_Lad]

Does this mean we're no longer unbeaten as it might go down as a Bradford win? What an exeter way to lose our record time to focus on the league

 

[valefan16]

Too be fair so many different caveats for different competitions... why not stick at your usual 3 subs for FA Cup?

I was bricking it against Harrogate as we made 4 subs in the league! It was only then I released because they had a lad go off concussed both teams get an extra one!

Club Statement: Emirates FA Cup

A review is due to take place following last night’s FA Cup game between Exeter City and Bradford City at St James Park.

The irony is even Taylor said in his interview after he hates the 5 sub rule and wants it gone

 

[denzel ecfc]

Gone to a hearing. Enjoy Cambridge, Bradford

 

[Devon_Lad]

Be interesting to see if the committee say we're at fault or the officials for allowing us to make an illegal sub. They're the ones who should know the rules, right?

 

[LS Bantam]

Anything but playing again, we got away with playing an unregistered player or something about ten years ago so wouldn’t be fussed one bit should Exeter get away with this one.

 

[Kauto Star]

How have the officials allowed that to happen? If it's happened then Bradford should be awarded the tie or the replay should be at Bradford.

Especially as the tie was 0-0 when they made their 'illegal' 6th sub. If it had have been 3-0 when they made that 6th sub, then I wouldn't be too fussed

 

[denzel ecfc]

Suggestion that the ref was aware and thought it was a concussion sub

 

[Devon_Lad]

This is very interesting.

Exeter City's place in FA Cup under threat after investigation into sixth sub

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…

www.thesun.co.uk

"SunSport understands the match referee Seb Stockbridge has included the sixth sub in his report.

And he has asked the FA to look into the circumstances of what occurred."
