Just saw that . I think this is their 1st team debuts isn't it ?
Oh why oh why are so many clubs making a mockery of the FA Cup by playing 'reserve' teams.It is a disgrace to what WAS a wonderful competition.Something has to be done or the FA cup may as well not include almost all premier league teams and all championship teams who are looking for promotion.
Give the winner a Champions League spot. Then the big clubs will sit up and take note.
Its gone for me the FA cup. Nobody gives a toss no more. Even Fergie played a weakened team at Oldham. Growing up in the 80s it was one of the most important events on the football calendar. Used to love it and all the hype around the final itself. I don't even bother watch ing the final no more.Such a shame.
If you were say, a Liverpool fan and paid to watch the game against Wolves then have to put up with watching a virtual reserve team get beaten, you would be furious, I know I would.A friend of mine from Donny goes to all Liverpool games so his costs are far greater than just match tickets.Clubs who have no interest in playing strong sides should be excused from entering the competition.Leeds got what they deserved today too for doing the same thing and showing a massive lack of respect to Sutton.
