Jim White’s rant on scrapping FA Cup replays was certainly one that has got plenty of people on social media talking, and fair to say everyone slammed what he said…
How is Jim White still a thing, just a dinosaur these days, coming up with any old crap to try and be ‘controversial’ #yawn

Lot of lower league/non-league teams dream of a home draw then away game against a big club. There are more than just the Premier League teams in the competition.

Why? Do only the big clubs matter? Great financial windfall for the smaller clubs?

Scrapping fa cup replays really would diminish the trophy for good that's what the lower league teams dream of, this only helps the premier league teams imo

But, look at Rochdale..look at the difference that away leg will mean financially? It’s Important for these clubs to hit the ‘jackpot’ as it were

Yeh let scrap the potential extra income for the lower league teams because the PL big boys must be absolutely exhausted. How on earth are they gunna be physically able to compete in their end of season tours to Asia and America? ??♂️

@McCoistAndy: No. Its part of what makes the FA Cup. It also helps smaller clubs if they get a Replay so no
@RaymondEris: No Jim, wrong yet again. Give the winner of the competition a champions league place, surley winning something is worth more than not even finishing In the top 3.
@MikeMcKenna_: Nonsense. FA Cup money makes an enormous difference to clubs like mine, and if we earn a replay we bloody deserve it. There’s more to English football than the Premier League.
@Ad1234Alex: Exeter getting 2 games against United in 2005 literally saved the club from bankruptcy. Talksport pushing yet more elitist nonsense because the wealthiest clubs cant handle a few extra fixtures.
@Callum_Gale_: Always about the top teams ?, if they didn’t want an extra game they should’ve gone for the win, lower league teams rely on the FA cup hugely and if they get a TV replay then it can sort them out for the rest of the season and more, the press need to stop being so prem orientated
@DreamsR4Real999: You constantly whinge about the loss and liquidation of lower league clubs but now you want to scrap the chance of that income these lower league clubs could need to thrive and survive..
