Non-league side Litherland Remyca have been thrown out of the FA Cup over an unpaid £10 fine.

The Merseyside club unwittingly fielded a suspended player in the 4-2 win over Charnock Richard in the extra-preliminary round on 11 August.

Did you even see the game. The fact the game went ahead was magical in itself!

The outswinging corner which hit the bar because the winds blowing that hard ontop of the mad rain summed up the game quite well.

The only good thing to say about Haringey is their Manager is also the guy who runs their turnstiles, that's pub level stuff.

It was easy because this Macclesfield team is perhaps the worst ever team to appear in the EFL and then you combine it with aload of heavy favourites to win by more than 1.

11/1 for that!

You're missing my point.

I'm not questioning who you've backed, I'm merely saying anyone there's no skill in letting the world know you've won money after an event.

If you were so confident why didn't you post it up on here before the event and we all could have backed it Wink

Be interesting to see what kind of team does Liverpool put out v Wolves away.

Do they go for it or just settle for the league & Champions league double.

Man City can play the 2nd team and still beat Rotherham at home.

It’s probably a competition they can throw as they have a league cup final in the bag and are still in the champions league.

Spurs should beat Tramere tonight with a 2nd string team.

Pep should rest as many key players as possible in the next couple of games against Rotherham and Burton. De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Silva, Silva, Aguero, Sterling, Sane - all should be rested.

Posted By: Roberto Baggio

He hasn't looked right any time he's come back from an injury this season. There were reports he complained about muscle soreness after his last return. He needs an extended rest to be in top condition for the business end of the season I think.

When he came back from his longest spell out this season, in early November, he was kept on for 80 minutes at home to Fulham in a league cup tie that was already won, and that's when he picked up his next injury. I'm just fearful of this happening again in a game where he isn't needed.

When I seen the line up I thought Poch had way over estimated Tranmere.

Son and Dele were not required in the starting line up and I couldn’t believe Kane and Eriksen were in the squad.

On reading this it was a nice touch from Poch......

United penalty vs Reading. How did it take that long to award the penalty? It's truly desperate stuff. I'm guessing but I'd say 3 mins or so to get it sorted. It should have taken no more than 30 seconds and I'm not even sure why VAR was needed. The linesman put the flag up, and if the referee needed VAR to see the foul on Mata, then best of luck to him, it should be his last day on the job.

At Turf Moor the pen was given and we were just about to take it then they decided if was offside and not a pen . Far too long .

But after that they should be moved to midweek games until the 1/2 finals IMO.

I had to double check it was you, after reading these comments, but confirmed that it was there by doing a search.

This time last year whenever I described an early round of the cup as very dull you were telling people not to rise to me and described it as the best cup competition in the world.

Even the early rounds have been sh*t this year which sums up how bad this years competition has been. I can only name 1 good thing and that was Slough Town.

Oldham and Barnet saved the supposed best weekend in the football calendar from being an absolute borefest and the games have traditionally been a 3pm Saturday KO but this year we’v had instead a 7:45 on a Friday, 12:30 on Saturday, 5:30 on Saturday, 1pm on Sunday, 4pm on Sunday and a 7:45 on a Monday.

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!

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" LOL

I don’t mind the FA cup weekends for the 3rd (didn’t watch any) and the 4th round as there is loads of games to get through.

But after that they should be moved to midweek games until the 1/2 finals IMO.

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

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

They were all moved for TV coverage in America/Asia etc...

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.

That Wolves player Vinagre needs to start to pepper the Liverpool goal

Although he’d probably be good at scoring a chip

They are called referee's assistants now or flag angels.

Shocking attitude. So it's ok to be sexist if no women are there to hear it? Shocked

Also did you just ASSUME the referee's assistant's gender? Shocked
