no consistency from FA match officials ... unless something directly affects Premier League clubs, the Football Association don't care at all IMO
due to the FA's ridiculous introduction of two yellow cards = a one match ban in the current FA Cup competition, round three , when the disrespectful( to the competetion) so called big boys go in the hat, can, and will see L1, L2 and Non league clubs deprived of probably key players when , should the luck of the draw favour them, they face a Championship or PL side.... but, the said L1, L2 and non league clubs have to field a weakened side potentially against a club who have more than just one player in their line up with a value way exceeding, the entire combined value of the L1, L2, Non League clubs playing staff and then some
Magic and glamour of the FA Cup? nah! not since the formation of the PL, clubs in which disrespect their opposition and the competition by fielding bench warming squad players or even U21 squad players. Yet the FA decide to make FA cup upsets even more of a rarity due to them introducing an idiotic new rule that punishes lower league and non leage clubs by depriving them of arguably one or more of their better players, lower league and non league clubs simply dont have even a small percentage of the riches awash in PL to amass a multitude of players.
