Not sure how fair it is to use VAR at selected grounds only, should be all or nothing

Bit short sighted mate, expecting the Premier League bosses to be fair

Mansfield Town ( H )

Droitwich Baggie · « **Reply #9 on:** August 16, 2018, 10:13:49 PM »

They beat Accrington Stanley 6-1 to get through.
We only managed to get 3 past Accrington, when we played them last.
We are notorious about losing to lower teams.
About time we turned things around.

we'd have played Middlesbrough away if we had got passed Palace, not a bad draw really, still 6 non prem teams in it aswel.

Honestly, I can't believe they didn't scrap it for this year... With the condensed dates for the regular season, the FA Cup and the farcicle international break that they have also still elected to keep this year, I really thought we'd not have this cup.

They could scrap it and give the European slot to the side who finish 6th place in the league instead.

From what I can gather, the reason it doesn't get scrapped is that it is still a bit if a money spinner for league 1 and 2 clubs who can get bumper pay days from the progression bonuses and the chance of drawing a Man Utd or Chelsea.

Still, would have thought the Prem and Championship clubs might have pushed for it this season.
