What is it about football administrators and administration that encourages pettiness?
VAR is on the verge of its first successfully disallowed goal for offside after a player gets an erection, so it comes as no surprise to me that the FA remains as petty and rule-bound as it was when I ran teams and helped to run a league over 30 years ago. Good men so obsessed by bureaucracy that only an interest in BDSM could tie them up more artistically.
We have to replay our cup match ten days after winning at Stockport in a way only slightly more ludicrous than seeing who could fart loudest. One of our players, in the team all season, is ineligible due to pointless procedures so incorrectly being followed that it has taken ten days to correct.
Personally I would simply withdraw from the competition, and avoid the excitement of a game against Rochdale. We could invent a Covid case!
