Chris Wilder leads furious backlash to FA Cup replays being scrapped as fans urged to protest at ‘ridiculous’ decision
There has been a huge amount of backlash to the decision to dump replays as it could affect potential revenue for lower league clubs."But if that was the situation that most of the clubs felt that way, I’d support it."Traditionally replays have taken place until the fourth round if a match ends in a draw.However, the changes will see all first-round and onward matches go to extra-time and penalties if no winner can be found before the 90th minute.
Ending replays will bring extra sharpness and excitement to the ties, with the knowledge that there will be a winner, whether in 90 minutes, extra-time or penalties.
