FGR Scarborough To replay

Everyone's a winner......except us! Scarboro were out, now they are back in. FGR should've been out for fielding an ineligible player....now they get another chance. Meanwhile we are the big losers both financially and the accumulative physical impact on the playing squad.
 
Just chatting to some official BFC guy in a coffee shop. A complaint has been put in as concerned about injuries as a result of the fixture pile up. I think he was official although could have just been a Mucker.
 
What is the plan if we need a replay after whoever we play on the 19th ?
3rd to 5th January ? Then Forest moved to the Sunday ?
EFL Trophy next round to be played midweek of week of 8th January ….
Potentially 10 games in 28 days
 
Forest Green's tweet has riled me. They shouldn't be allowed to be 'delighted' to be back in the competition. They should be kicked out.

We're the ones who are suffering in all this mess.

I think it will almost certainly be a weakened team for the cup game
6 games in 17 days. That's piss poor by the F.A.

16 Dec - Cambridge (A)
19 Dec - FGR or Scarborough (H)
23 Dec - Bristol Rov (H)
26 Dec - Burton (A)
29 Dec - Port Vale (A
1 Jan - Lincoln (H)

Edit - then either Forest away or Leyton Orient away on 6th Jan

Was surprised we so openly criticised the FA if I'm honest, but it's 100% justified

Deserved to be criticised it’s an absolute shambles. None of this shit is blackpools fault at all but being made the ones to suffer. Shit show from the FA and EFL 😡😡😡
 
I was getting het up about having to play all these games in quick succession. Then I remembered how we always get zero points over the Xmas period anyway so calmed down.

We should request our game goes straight to penalties if a draw.... seems they can accommodate that sort of thing.
 
Just seen this from the FGR forum quoting a statement from Dale Vince.



“When investigations take place and rulings get announced in football, fans are often left confused as to what actually went on - making them wonder what the hell is happening at their club. Our recent charge came about after we failed to tell the FA that we had permission from the player's home club to be part of our FA Cup squad. They recognised we had approval for the player - but that we had not told them, which was our mistake. In the grand scheme of things this was an admin error, so we appreciate the FA's acceptance of what happened and their judgement.
SAFC will get to keep all the money from the gate for this replay, as is right - but to go one step further, we will cover our own expenses and travel, which usually get deducted from the total gate. Hopefully this means something good can come from this.


Fair play to them.

What's it to do with then because it sounds like your defending them?
Only us could end up suffering because of someone else's problem and incompetence.
They hit us hard with everything and it's no coincidence.

Not defending them in the slightest.
Anyone could have drawn FGR in the 3rd round and the outcome would have been exactly the same.
ie match abandoned the evening before the kick off followed by an FA investigation into the breach of rules.

Isn't every fielding of an ineligible player technically an "admin error"?

They failed to inform the FA of the permission, therefore they fielded an ineligible player. They should have been kicked out the competition.

Yes. It is a simple breach of the rules for which FGR are strictly liable. There are no degrees of getting it wrong, there should be no, 'well make an exception this time, the player was ineligible, full stop. FGR should have received exactly the same sanction as Barnsley.

The FA have got themselves into a mess of their own making. FGR in brazening it out now suffer reputational damage. Stuff the gate receipts, if the FA aren't going to to their job properly, FGR should suck up their mistake and withdraw from the competition immediately, forfeiting their first round prize money.
 
If it was a bit nearer, I would have considered going and supporting Scarborough. But, it's a tad too far.

The FA are drawing a distinction between a player who would've been eligible had the paperwork been filed properly, and a player who could never have been eligible, such as someone who was cup tied, suspended, or wasn't at the club at the time of the first leg.

The question I have to ask is if the FA is happy to make this distinction, why not just let the original result stand?
 
Play the youth team, bollocks to the FA and the FA cup this season.

Whilst an away tie at Notts Forest would be nice, the league is far more important and should be prioritised.

Actually quite like the shout to pull out the competition and really make a stance.
 
I don't think we need to play youth... like of gabriel, connolly:, Oakley booth, weir, Joseph (unless starts sat), Thompson, lyon can all play... need game time etc... but likes of us would likely get fined for fielding a weaken team. Fa and efl are a fecking disgrace
 
With the forecast being 5C, we can't even play the frozen pitch card.

O'Donnell
Gabriel Connolly Casey Tharme Lyons
Morgan TOB Weir
Beesley Dale

Pretty much the same as Tuesday. Maybe it will be a game for Lavery, Norburn or Kouassi to get some minutes if they are fit?
 
Used to love the FA cup but it's not taken as seriously as it was, weakened teams, prioritising league, prioritising world club championship, position of final in the footy calendar moved around, kick off time moved, FA not applying rules equally, so f##k it, sign up and play the AC sunday team for the game
 
Can we not get Corsa Les the solicitor on the case?
Its already a ** joke.
The Scarborough or FGR game SHOULD be played on round 3 day, but that would upset a Premier League team, so it is "fuvk you Blackpool"

That's not the way it is according to the Scarborough fishul site.....

"We are now also able to inform you that it was also ordered that Scarborough Athletic FC retain all income from gate receipts from the match ordered to be replayed and that in addition Forest Green Rovers shall be responsible for their own travel and hotel costs."

So it looks like FGR & Mr Vince didn't have the option of being benevolent by covering their own costs - it was directed as part of the FA's ruling.

It massively impedes on the integrity of the competition. We'll probably have to play a very weakened side with the proximity of the fixtures, giving the other team a better chance of getting through.

Hypothetically, FGR who fielded an intelligible player gain an advantage against us because they broke the rules. Ridiculous.

We Will probably get fined for fielding a weakened team as well knowing the FA!
 
the bbc are just getting worse.

Seems they already know the score of the match between the two being played next tuesday.

So it appears that the reason for weren't expelled was because the fa didn't tell them that the player didn't have permission from the parent club to play. It just gets better and better.

No, the reason seems to be that they had permission from the parent club, but failed to explicitly inform the FA of that fact.

Compared to the money we could potentially earn by going up….

What if it was postponed because of the weather? There’s no way we could fit it in before then. They’d probably expel us for failing to fulfil a fixture.

That's the problem with all these home games in the next month we're bound to lose one or more due to frost.
