The EFL Trophy has premier league u21 sides with league 1 and 2 clubs. So what you're describing is basically that.
FA Cup 2023/24
- Thread starter TheChosenOne
- Start date
More wounds in the FA Cup’s death by a thousand cuts.
For me, the real damage was done a while back when they limited the number of allowed replays.
Yes, yes, pragmatism, fixture congestion. I get it. I hear you.
But up until then it was the only competition where to win it, you had to actually beat every team you met. No group stages. No away goals. No home and away legs. No penalty bloody shoot-outs. Which I can’t stand. Left the ground after the 84 uefa cup final a bit disappointed that we hadn’t won it properly

Yes my experience thus far has been nothing short of shambolic

To be fair, it would have been harder to miss the chances we gave him, also 9 men

In the US you need ESPN+ to watch this - I pay for it and it makes me log in from scratch every time (I think they're just trying to get people to forget they've already bought it and sign up for multiple subscriptions), and then what you get for your money is commentary that's about 5 seconds delayed behind the video stream and the worst "analysis" of all time. The commentators will be getting excited about a chance when I've already seen the ball blasted into row Z and a goal kick being taken.
