Only thing I can think of is the emergency goalkeeper loan for Belshaw. Their first choice keeper is back fit again so it might be that they should have cancelled the emergency loan once he was back.

Seems silly that you can sign a player in Jan who has played 25 league games and he can continue to play in the league, but if he’d played 1 cup game he’s not allowed to continue to play in the cup. Especially as in this case with Forest Green, they are a league 2 club and he played for a Step 4 non league club. Not exactly gaining an advantage is it!

Never to the dark side Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 that was a possible irregularity with the Forest Green Rovers first round FA cup match, the team were already heading to Blackpool before they were called back to Gloucestershire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rules were brought in, along with transfer deadline day in March, to stop clubs buying loads of players for a final push but it is redundant now. There will be a case where some lad gets bought by a premier league club from a lower one in January, he tears it up, and his new club goes on to get to the Cup Final. He`ll have played ten minutes for his old club in Round Two and will be stopped from playing in the final because of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Stone Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Lots of speculation here locally. Football wise, playing Belshall the goal keeper when others were fit and he was only there as an emergency loan. Non football, flying the Palestinian flag in the FA cup replay against Scarborough. But like everyone is thinking, why so late in the day? They haven't got a big fan base, but some have booked train tickets and hotel rooms. Fans last again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s either the Belshaw emergency loan when Daniels has been back fit again or it’ll be Sully having played for Bitton on loan in an earlier round. I can’t seem to find Bitton’s FA Cup fixtures online so I can’t check, but he was playing regularly for them before he came back and then played v Scarborough 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 Reading up on some of the emergency loan regulations, it seems that a player can play in an FA cup game but then if the emergency loanee is to also be played in a replay then it needs agreement (or permanent signing). The wording is quite complex, so I’m not 100%. But this could mean that when Belshaw played in the replay he was ineligible. "A player on temporary (loan) transfer is eligible to play in a replay, a match rescheduled as a result of a postponement, abandonment or in a match ordered to be replayed, if transferred permanently by the lending Club to the loaning Club after the Registration Deadline for that round, provided that the player was eligible to play for the loaning Club in the original match and the players registration with the loaning Club is continuous from the Registration Deadline for that round through to the date of the replay or rescheduled match." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davefevs Posted December 2, 2023 Report Share Posted December 2, 2023 @Harry if Belshaw had successive 7 day emergency extensions, that would count as continuous. The Daniel’s being fit is a viable reason if so, as is the Bitton loanee. Will be interesting to see what the reason turns out to be.

I couldn’t find their Fa cup fixtures but someone said they didn’t play in it this year for some reason, so it rules Sully out. It’s just a bit confusing over the wording on the fa cup replay rules. It seems to suggest they should have signed him as a permanent to be able to play in a replay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
