Very surprising because I knew of the rule as it cropped up when discussing the postponed Premier League games from last week.

Not just top flight teams - Sheff Weds v Charlton is the same night for the same reason

Really? That does surprise me.
Sorry all, BBC got it wrong.

"UEFA guidelines state that Premier League, FA Cup and Capital One Cup matches must not clash with fixtures in the Champions League and Europa League"

Mea culpa, I didn't fully read his post, I just saw the suggestions as to what to do, these are usually aimed at us, not the opposition

Even last night's programme had a few lines stating that any replay would be on Tuesday 25th.
No reason for Oscar to have known- he's there to coach and pick the team. We employ other people to worry about logistical stuff.

Can't blame him for one second. Oscar will be exactly the same.
If I was you, Steve, I'd play a really RUBBISH third choice XI on Monday
He should of done the sensible thing last night and instructed his team not to score then he wouldn't be in this predicament.

Exactly. Selfish, ex-Palace buffoon.
Fair play. Personally I'm a big fan of Gus but would love it if we beat him

We might as well retain that fixture seeing as we're up north on the Monday. Straight over to Lancashire for tuesday.

How does Oscar manage to look scruffy in a suit?

The FA want the cup to be treated seriously by clubs and fans but then we get situations like this. Although it probably won't happen because it's against the rules it would benefit both managers greatly if they made a gentleman's agreement to each play their 2nd XI.
We should play at 5 or 5.30pm on Tues or Wed. Sorted.
