Regime Change 0 Posted February 5, 2007 As Fotheringham and Lappin haven''t represented any other side in the FA Cup this season I think they should both be eligibile for the Blackpool replay. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ZLF 274 Posted February 5, 2007 I dont think they can play against Blackpool - I think you have to have the players on your books for the original tie for them to be able to play in the replay. After that they are eligible. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rustyboy 2 Posted February 5, 2007 Thanks all. Still unclear if they can play then. What about Marshall and Brown? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
7rew 0 Posted February 5, 2007 marshall and brown played against blackpool in the first match, so Idon''t see why they can''t play in the rest of the cup. (one was sent offand the other almost motm.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tangerine Mole 0 Posted February 5, 2007 any players signed between the two games cannot play in the replay (even if they are not formally cup-tied) or have played abroad cannot make the replay as I am working away [:''(] but I can make the next round [;)] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted February 5, 2007 that "cup tie" law is silly anyway.. they should scrap it! if someoen scores a winner against a team they played for c''est la viejas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tangerine Mole 0 Posted February 5, 2007 I suspect that if legally challenged, the cup-tied rule would be judged as a restraint of trade and theefore unlawful and unenforceable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
