Match Thread Exeter (A) Tue 16/11/2021 & Tue 30/11/2021 19:45

Always was a fan of Bradford before I experienced the toxicity this forum has. It is clear that the officials are to blame. Bradford have been extremely well done by to still be in the competition and to be guaranteed more money. Yet their fans still moan. I thought you were Bradford not FGR. So tinpot your attitude given all things considered. Regardless, I hope your club are given a huge fine for the mess you left in our dugout. Never seen anything like it before. No mentions here despite it being widely reported. Guess it shows the head in sand effect. Fa have been generous to you but probably the right call in the end. Hey-ho. Adios. Hope we dick you 6-0 and it's a wasted journey.

Hopefully we can also make the pain inflicted on Kite that he felt from the reckless challenge also not exist.

Unlike the goals which obviously will be wiped off from the game being null and void, his reckless behaviour directly resulted in our player being hurt, unless you can go back in time and stop that incident from happening then obviously the card should stand. If a player goes and punches someone in the face then the game gets null and voided the card should obviously stand. All yellows in the game still remain, they're not being wiped off of our players, why should you get special treatment?

 

Shouldn't you be at school ?

 

If he's hurt by a slight brush of the elbow, it's a good job he didn't play in the Chelsea V Leeds FA Cup Final replay in 1970. I feel his pain.

 

Will be interesting to see how FIFA deal with a similar situation of a team not following the substitution rules

BCAFC should refuse to replay the game.
All Exeter have to do is simply turn up for a normal home game, yet we have to trek back down to Devon for something that is not our fault.
Tell the FA where to stick it, make a massive issue out of this fiasco.
The FA can do whatever they want to us but hell, they will be shown in a very poor light.

Come on Ryan, do it!

 

Had to laugh at the 'being hurt' comment. Imagine the likes of Sir Bobby going in for that challenge.

 

As my friend Abe said in the "Gettysburg Address", exactly 158 years ago today, words which today are wholly appropriate to the "hurt" that Kite suffered at the hands of the marauding Union Soldier Lee Angol.

"We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this".

 

It's a game of football I don't get what the big deal is they'll be travelling on a nice coach with on board entertainment

Just play it but this time actually score goals lol

 

Now scoring goals? That's asking far too muchTight!

 

We can dream lol

 

Journeys like this will be, thankfully, a thing of the past soon.

As authorities look to make football sustainable and reduce it's climate impact it is likely that the game will move to an electronic platform. Why do you think so many clubs are investing in e-sports teams?

Before too long a game like Exeter away will take place on FIFA, with supporters watching the stream of the game on twitch. I think we need to make the most of these fixtures, and away journeys, while they still exist.

 

Quite possibly your best yet.

 

I you care to look back in this thread you will see I did a screen shot of the incident and quoted "Angol was lucky it wasn't a straight red for the challenge".

You being a gentleman and posting in peace I'm sure you'll apologise for your mistake.

 

Agreed as many have said it seems crazy we have to travel all back down there for no fault of our own, but on the other hand if we could somehow win the tie (I know I know far fetched) it would be classic gold at there gaff.

 

We'll have a whip round during the game, see if can can raise a huge benevolent fund to support his poor family during these testing times.

#pray4kite

 

Not sure it's far fetched during the 90 minutes we were the better team, the width of the cross bar saved the day for Exeter.

 

Hope we send Kite flying in the rematch

 

Got a link for the video, General?
