FGR cup game replayed…What’s the difference ??

Maybe Forest Green appealed?

 

You couldn't make this up really couldn't!

 

They did.
Edit. They assisted in the investigation. Not sure why we didnt await an outcome.
I once noted we consulted with an ex referee or efl official re a sending off and took their advice on an appeal as it was deemed unlikely to be successful.
I think the 2 fa cup incidents are not like for like. But if so. We fekked up.
Edit. exile explains the FG one.

 

Hope JAQ isn't on twitter tonight.

 

Didn't Neerav admit on Monday that the Horsham Chairman offered a replay but we declined, that we then supported the FA punishment and chose not to appeal?

We fell foul of rule 103 in that we played a player in the replay that was not registered for the first game. FGR fell foul of rule 109 in that they played an emergency loan keeper without explicit written permission from his parent club. In both cases the bottom line per each rule is that the players in question were ineligible - therefore logic dictates the same punishment.

However, it looks like we self-flagellated before seeing out the process that would probably have led to another replay at Horsham.

 

Barnsley FC in bending over backwards and accepting what ever comes their way shocker….

We really are soft as ****.

 

In this case, I actually think we did the right thing. Well, the second right thing. The right thing would have been to have won the original match at Oakwell.

 

In that case the second right thing would have been to field an eligible team.

I kind of agree with you on our stance about this, but that's mainly down to fact that we dicked Horsham around so badly for the first game. Seeing another team now avoid the same fate via making an appeal changes the picture somewhat.

Thankfully, I'm not sure that I can get too outraged at being denied a potential away tie at Plymouth on the, perhaps optimist, basis that we could have beaten Sutton.

 

But we wouldn't have been the same ball number as Sutton so we wouldn't have drawn Plymouth . We really are a soft touch just when you think it can't get more embarrassing we say hold my beer.

 

I’ve just had a temporary ban off Twitter for replying to this tweet from the FA saying “Erm?? #BarnsleyFC “

Probably her reporting me for bringing it up

 

We would - the ball numbers for the third round are always 1-44 the Greed League and Championship teams in alphabetical order and 45-64 the winners of second round ties in the order that those ties were drawn. Sutton v Barnsley was drawn 19th of 20 and so the winner would always have been ball 63 regardless of who won. (Agree re: soft touch bit).

 

Agree - sometimes you just have to own the mistakes and put your hands up. Society in general could do with taking note.

End of the day, we messed up and took the punishment. That’s classy - replaying Horsham again would have been more damaging to the club’s reputation.

 

I believe we would have been the same ball number, someone posted in a thread somewhere, all the rules regarding the balls just before the draw, we'd have been the same.

 

Makes me more and more angry as to why we rolled over. (If it was the expense of an appeal failing. Then it wouldnt have been too expensive I'd have thought. Just a discussion and outcome. Not a bloody court case)
My thoughts on the recompense are A free ticket to an away game of your choice still stands. To those on record (which hopefully they kept) as having bought tickets. It would not go the whole way in compensation with travel. But would be a minimum gesture imo. Given the cost of the cup tickets. Or a voucher of decent value for the club shop.
And WHO MADE THE DECISION NOT TO APPEAL. That is a bigger issue than the error imo.

 

No he said we had been looking at replaying the game and that would be better for both teams.

 

Guessing the difference in our appeal was that we won the replay rather than get a chance to replay it with us already playing them once. (Don’t agree with it)

 

He said both clubs wanted a replay and FA disagreed

 

Sorry I just assumed it was done alphabetically I'm sure it used to be.

 

Thanks I honestly didn't know that slightly complicated bur is the fa I suppose.
