When we realised that Coyle had not come out for extra time (nice touch by Ayling giving him a piggy back to take part in celebrations) and that we were down to ten men, I mentioned to my mate and those around me that the FA cup was going to allow 4 subs in extra time, no-one knew anything about itI even asked a few on the bus and then my train 'mates' and even my father in law, but no-one seemed aware of it It got so I wondered if it was one of those suggestions that had been put forward and discarded but, with certain rules etc they are bringing it in

It can be unfair on fans trying to get home to have to stay an extra 30 or so minutes, and even more importantly not fair on the players. All their training is aimed at them lasting 90 not 120 minutes, and a midfield player especailly should be shatterd at the end of the 90 if he is doing his job right _______________________________________________ Leedslist mailing list Info and options: http://mailman.greennet.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/leedslist To unsubscribe, email [email protected] MARCHING ON TOGETHER
