New ex-players (and managers) thread

[Rock Fox]

This game served up a textbook example of what the rule changes were designed to achieve.

Tamworth should be planning a trip to Spurs, getting probably their only chance for most players to turn out on a PL ground & probably the biggest payday in the clubs history. ...

Agreed - I think a sensible compromise would be that if the two teams are in the same division, the game goes to extra time and penalties.
If teams are in different divisions, however, then if it is a draw at full time - it goes to a replay - thus 'rewarding' the lower division's side for their effort along with a bit of a financial boost too.

Pity it won't happen

Would also incentivise the bigger teams to play a stronger team to try and win it in 90 mins.

All the best Birch, here's hoping for a swift recovery.
