Exeter City
1Seems that Exeter brought on a sixth substitute in extra time last night. Wonder if they will be removed fron the tournament, or have to replay the game.

2Doesn’t reflect well on the four officials, does it.
It just serves to underline how ridiculous the number of allowed subs has become if all four officials struggle to keep a tally. Put it back to a max of three per team and have done with it.

3Or the alternative of three, plus an extra one if it goes to extra time. That's probably what confused the Exeter management. I think that was in operation for maybe one season before the five subs rule was introduced in the 'Covid season'. I wonder if the Bradford officials were aware of the breach of the rule but let it go, knowing they could use it as a trump card if they lost in extra time.

5Source: DevonLiveHowever, DevonLive understands that the officiating team on more than one occasion confirmed to the Exeter City coaching staff that making the sixth substitution was something that they were permitted to do.
The Bantams made five changes, but Caolan Lavery had undergone an extensive warm-up and appeared ready to enter the field of play at one stage during extra-time on Tuesday night, but ultimately failed to be brought on. DevonLive has been told by an Exeter City source saying that this was because the officials allegedly had informed Bradford that a sixth sub would against the rules.
It is also understood that Exeter City had been given more than five ‘cards’ to use and hand-in to the officials when they wish to make a substitution.
Re: Exeter City
6I guess the confusion may have arisen because you get an additional opportunity to make substitutes if the game goes to extra time.
You can make up to 5 subs but only in a maximum three opportunities excluding half time so even if you make subs at halftime, to use all 5 subs during normal time you still have to make at least one double substitution. If the game goes to extra time, you get an additional opportunity to us any unused subs but the maximum number is still 5.
While it is not quite the same as playing an ineligible player, it will be interesting to see if the punishment will be the same. According to the BBC Sport website, the sixth sub was made in the 90th minute and the goals were all scored after this.

Re: Exeter City
7Apparently the rules state "where the club satisfies the Professional Game Board that the club (or any of its officers) did not know and could not reasonably have known, even had it made every reasonable enquiry (with the exercise of the utmost caution), that the player was ineligible, the club shall not be removed from the competition but may still be subject to any other penalty (e.g. fine, ordered to replay the match)."
So this is going to be a difficult one as the punishment is anything from a replay to exclusion. The problem is that if the officials gave an extra card to Exeter by mistake then they’re in trouble as well!

9The referee for that match is scheduled to take charge of our match at Crawley next Tuesday. Only has to count to three, shouldn't be a problem.
