    There'll be no FA Cup quarter final replays starting from next season. Guess it's to try and ease fixture congestion.

    They should bring in the golden goal or maybe better still "away goals rule then" ?? <laugh>

    Didn't mind the QF replay. They're tiresome in the earlier rounds.

    I doubt it'll be long before the 5th round replays go too to keep easing fixture congestion. Removing relays worked perfectly for the League Cup (it's building its appeal on Sky and teams seem to be taking it more seriously).

    The replays in the earlier rounds are for revenue for the smaller teams.
