So the FA have bowed to the wishes of a small number of so-called "elite" clubs and decide to scrap replays after next year's first round.
Already having ruined the "magic of the cup" by spreading earlier round matches across the week to satisfy TV demands, this marks the beginning of the end for what is internallionally recognised as one of the great sporting events.
What I don't understand is why these "elite" clubs are crying over fixture congestion when they have large enough squads to put out 2 or 3 completely separate teams.
I read that there has been almost unanimous criticism of the decision from lower league clubs who had no say in the matter - dare we hope that their voice will be heard and this decision reversed?
