It does seem an odd decision. Clearly they felt they couldn't kick us out. Equally they felt the need to uphold their own unnecessarily bureaucratic rules. So they reached a compromise which suits no one, seems to leave the rules in doubt and leaves questions unanswered (like Margreitter's future participation in the Cup for Wolves, as the status of our game is now in doubt). As there have to be replays in second round matches, our MKD game cannot have been deemed not to have happened, as the game now has to be played to a finish (disadvantaging the away team?). So if the MKD game happened what was it and so Margreitter is cup-tied for Wolves to whom we intend to return him?

Have I even understood this?

When I ran an amateur football team I tended to think many of the local FA's honest decisions were implemented to uphold pointless rules and leave the teams involved feeling dissatisfied with the procedure.

I also have experience of two games being ordered to be replayed and both ended up with winning side losing, largely because the players felt cheated by the decision in the first place ......
