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

He will when we have beaten you

 

Does that mean no loyalty points from the first replay?

 

A very fair outcome in all honesty.

 

Derek won't be happy.
Correct as we have to suffer for Exeters incompetence, being so gullible they have to blame a 4th official yet not bothering to educate themselves with the rules.

Also intriguing how the FA don't actually specify who is to blame yet you still assume its the 4th official.

 

Haha..... I was lead to believe this was a footy forum not Live At The Apollo with jokes like that

 

You talk about assuming yet your first paragraph is all guessing and conjecture. Irony.

 

Rubbish. If its due to the match official why have you been punished, which is all that forcing the tie to be replayed does.

 

Obviously the officials are to blame, otherwise we would be booted out. The replay means that due to the officials incompetence we gained an unfair advantage so the result couldn't stand.

Would be nice if you treated your own club with the attitude you treat ours. You also tried to make a 6th sub but the officials prevented you from doing so! Perhaps Bradford & Derek shouldn't be so gullible and educate themselves on the rules.

 

Because what do you think Bradford would have said to that? If anything it’s more of a punishment to Exeter than us as we get a second chance.

 

Can't appeal 2 yellows..

 

Rubbish. If its due to the match official why have you been punished, which is all that forcing the tie to be replayed does.

Obviously not or the result would have stood. Are you in the second round - No. Does your win stand - No. Have Exeter City been punished here - Yes. If the officials were to blame would the FA have ordered a replay - NO.

We tried to make a sixth substitution because you had broken the rules so why shouldnt we level it up. The fourth official is not there to officiate on the right or wrongs of the number of substitutions.

Exeter City fecked up and the match has had to be replayed. That's what the history books will say, whatever your thoughts are.

 

Lol this is the effect of having a job lol

 

Never heard such nonsense in all of my life. If Exeter City were to blame, we would be booted out. We gained an unfair advantage due to the officials feck up. That isn't fair on Bradford. The game is therefore being replayed. We have essentially been exonerated from all wrongdoing, otherwise we'd be out. Both teams were told we could make six subs, which is why we were given too many sub cards and it's why Derek never kicked off, or anyone on your bench, when we made our sixth, and exactly why you also tried to do the same. The books are clear, the officials cocked up and we haven't been kicked out.

 

Where’s the joke? You’ve failed to legitimately beat us in 3 attempts this season, much like ourselves failing to beat you ‍♂️

 

Chortle chortle

 

I’d give up on here pal. Folk are only here to moan. For once it’s not actually aimed at the players or manager. The fact Exeter have been punished more than we have in this situation seeing as we couldn’t beat you at home and then lost 3 nil away doesn’t even come into their thinking. Most of them won’t have a clue what a sub card is and won’t care. They just want something BCAFC related to moan about.

 

It does not matter who was to blame now
It has to be replayed with Bradford city having another 500 mile round trip which I doubt they can afford
Then each club has only 3 days to arrange a trip to Cambridge or rearrange another game
Bradford lost,Exeter broke the rules, Exeter should have been thrown out and Cambridge given a bye
Neither Exeter or Bradford would have chosen a replay

 

Fair enough, on that note.. I'm outta here. Good luck for the season apart from on the 30th and when we play you in the new year!

 

pure conjecture, where is your evidence for this? the FA haven't published what's been submitted and Derek is keeping quiet, probably as he knows he will get fined by the FA for stating they are incompetent.

surely if both teams have six subs there's no advantage right? so why let one team put out six but not the other? pure conjecture constantly from you.

 

Apart from the fact your management team can't count the digits on one hand?

Oh wait, that's awkward.
