This is nothing new - I’m sure over the last 5 years we have had games on Fri/Sat/Sun/Mon for the 3rd round.
For some of the smaller teams that TV money is like winning the lottery. Like most other competitions, it only gets interesting until the business end. Be thankful it’s not seeded!

why would they do that, after the 4th round there is premier league games on Saturdays anyway for teams out of the cup and concentrating on the big prize of money and staying up

It’s nothing new but its a big factor why the competition is in a dreadful state.
It never got this bad when ITV had it and it was just Saturday/Sunday. The small teams make the competition, it gets worse as it progresses, if it wasn’t for the small teams it would be another League Cup. The hype surrounding Sutton Utd and that overweight 45 year old keeper might sound very amateur but the 16/17 season is the most watched FA Cup year of all time as the following round you also had Lincoln City, still a non league side at the time still in it. It was genuinely fun to watch even if you had zero association with either team.

Its was probably a better 3rd round this year than the last few years. Gillingham, Barnet, Newport and Oldham were good giantkilling stories. Agree with you on the kick off times. What was the idea with so many 12.30 and 5.30 kick offs on the Saturday and so many 2pm games on the Sunday, that weren't televised.

Heard a clip of an interview with the young fella Gibbs White from Wolves there about tonight's match with Liverpool. He said "we played them recently and that didn't end goodly for us"

If it was mid week on its own it would get more attention/headlines. Playing it alongside other EPL devalues it.

So shaft the Football League teams who actually make the competition what it is as they still play League games midweek throughout the season? It’s an idea so bad not even the very incompetent FA have suggested yet |

Agree
It’s all about the league for them this season. Even the CL would take a back seat to it

Do the linesmen not know to let the play go on close off sides and it will be reviewed by VAR? Looks like a few decisions wrong so far in this game, when they could easily let them run and have it over turned later on.
