Excellent highlights as ever, well done YTV.

Some great penalty taking on our part - five out of five. We must have been practising them.
Probably at a session when Snapper had the night off

Qualifying rounds all straight to pens, from 1st Round proper it's extra time and then pens - no replays at all this season

I suspect that replays will never return. The big clubs have been trying to get rid of them for years and this gives them the excuse. Lack of replays will be found to be “a great success and kept by popular demand” even if the opposite is true.

I fear you are spot on with that Kev. The game is getting less exciting and more sterile by the week at the top level and this would take away a good few 'pay days' for us minnows. At least it would give the Premier League boys more time to practice jumping like fish with their arms taped to their sides.

According the Oracle earlier today,

There will be no replays in the 2021/22 FA Trophy or FA Vase.

There WILL be replays in the 2021/22 FA Cup in all qualifying rounds & all rounds of the ‘competition proper’ up to and including the Fourth Round Proper.
