[Mid Sussex Royal]

Can we be fined by the Football League for playing an understrength side - particularly with how close it is at the top.?

[Victor Meldrew]

The tallest centre-back pairing ever?

[TBM]

Anyone know what bradford are doing regarding resting players

[TFF]

How much will the league fine us if we get spanked?

Would they have a leg to stand on when they and the FA haven't attempted at all to help ourselves or Bradford out of ridiculous fixture congestion.

"We're punishing you because you couldn't play your strongest team twice in 3 days"

The FA Cup isn't a football league competition

Well done Steve Clarke - spot on team selection.

If the FA fine RFC it will be a disgrace - but still well worth it if we make Wembley.

Morais, Knot and Hanson on bench but looks normal line up apart from that...Stead starting

[Snowball]

Do we now get "done" by the footbal league for playing a weekend team ? after all the FA ? and their replay date have put us in this position ?

What;s wrong with playing a weekend team?

It's Saturday

Interesting if in desperation to be part of the Wembley squad the youngsters put in an outrageously fantastic performance and hammer Watford 6-0.

Bradford are playing their new loan keeper but otherwise have 5 players in today who should start Monday

Darby, McArdle, Meredith, Liddle & Stead.

Bradford's new "loan" keeper is better than their regular keeper lol

Can the league/FA really do anything? We all know it's a weakened team, but If you look down the list:

Andersen - mid-twenties, has played international football
Travner - experienced, making debut for club
Keown - young, but came on midweek
Knight - experienced, has played at top level
Cooper - has been in and around the first team most of the season
Akpan - same as above, plus technically an international
Guthrie - experienced, England superstar!
Taylor - in and around first team all season
Stacey - young, first team debut?
Cox - experienced, international, has played and scored (1) in the Prem
Yakubu - experienced international, scored more Prem goals than Torres, and despite being young looks much older

[3points]

The tallest centre-back pairing ever?
