Does anyone know why any action hasn't been taken re point 15 (a) in the fa cup rules?

If this was the league, there would be hell on with our attitude. Potential for a co-ordinate complaint to the FA?

 

Is there any way of proving that our supposedly injured players were fit?

What would the punishment be? Banned from the cup for a year? Guess who wins again...

NUFC are not even a particularly egregious violator of that nebulous rule. They generally send out a team of first team players, they just tend to lose regardless. It is more an attitude than anything to do with selection.

 

Attitude is a much bigger problem than team selection anyway. Witness Chelsea v Bradford, a hundred million pound team who couldn't track back or close down because deep down they don't really care about the FA Cup.
