Derby Blue Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I just checked the rules on that and he is actually cup tied, even if he isn't used for the match. The fact that he is named as a sub means he is now cup tied, so I guess that's one less thing to worry about. I stand corrected, thanks for checking.

lraC Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I stand corrected, thanks for checking. No worries, I didn't know for sure and it was on a couple of fan blogs. A Scottish club fell foul of the rule and were fined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Anyone got any bright ideas as to why we've signed Cairney permanently and then stuck him out on the right wing again? Because Bowyer simply will not drop the boy wonder Jason Lowe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davulsukur Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 City are an absolute p*ss take. Their second string is ridiculously strong. I guess that's how you go about winning 4 trophies tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyrone Shoelaces Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Not sure who plays or who on bench ... no Dunny though. Wow, that's a surprise. Maybe he's " injured ". He was touting for a new contract in yesterday's paper ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gumbi Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 According to the rules, an unused sub isn't cup tied Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Rhodes is NOT cup-tied unless he actually plays - see rule 15(g) of the 2013/14 competition rules. (wHYY DO SOME PEOPLE PERSIST IN PUTTING MISLEADING RUBBISH ON THIS SITE?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salgado Is A Hero Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Which club seriously wouldn't buy Rhodes because he was cup-tied for the FA Cup? Why are we even discussing it? Gestede is playing because against the best team in the country, having a player more suited to holding the ball up is the wiser choice. It's why Kazim was playing up top against Arsenal, albeit alongside Rhodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claytons Left Boot Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 #mcfc team: Pantilimon, Boyata, Nastasic, Clichy, Fernandinho, Javi Garcia, Silva, Negredo, Dzeko. #mcfc subs: Kompany, Zabaleta, Kolarov, Yaya Toure, Jesus Navas, Lopes. Bloody hell, thought I'd just woken up in Valencia or Seville. I always thought Man City were an English team. The knuckle dragging neanderthals that follow 'Citah' won't be able to pronounce any of those names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bundesburn Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Not bad discussion on BT Sport between David James and Mcmanaman. Was just gonna say that. The whole coverage is quite impressive, certainly better than the vapid analysis by most other channels. Can certainly see why BT believe in it so much.

G Somerset Rover Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Precisely - no club will give a flying @#/? if Rhodes is cup tied. If we were talking the champions league then it would be another matter. It must be tactical or GB just doesn't want him getting whacked around by Lescott & co.

Can certainly see why BT believe in it so much. It's brilliant how much focus they've given Rovers - not just as a team but exploring the surrounding areas as well. As a fan whose never got to Ewood Park (yet), I'm watching wide eyed. I do hope we can put in an honest performance today, and if the gods are on side, maybe dare to nick something.

Guest Norbert Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm actually not that bothered Rhodes is on the bench. Keeps him a bit fresh for the next league game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Good lad, Harry (I'm guessing that's your lad ES) Shame the other mascot supports City. Massive queue outside the ticket office, btw. Glad I collected mine before Christmas. Eek! Shame City have put a weakened side out...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RibbleValleyRover Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Not buying into this "if he played and Rovers won he would be worth less" theory, it's clearly a tactical decision by Bowyer to put a more physical body up front against a superior team. Personally I would have played him as he is our best player and only consistent goalscorer. Going all defensive, keeping it tight then hopefully sneak a goal late on isn't going to work against City.

Stuart Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm going for 'keeping our powder dry' as the reason for Rhodes being benched. Still, at least we'll get to look at how we line up with Lowe IN and and Rhodes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pelio Posted January 4, 2014 Share Posted January 4, 2014 Looking at the lineup, I think we need an outlet - someone with some pace to take the pressure off. Personally I would have included King to run at them, but hopefully thats something we can do during the game. Would like to see Rochina get some minutes today too....
