Extra Subs For Extra Time

godtabh

After watching the FA Cup final and watching some players who looked likey they could hardly contiune I came accross this by Liverpool chief Parry about allowing one extra sub for xtra time.

Read the bit about subs

What do people think?

Except Harewood West Ham didn't seem to have a problem. Maybe Parry should complain about fitness training for his squad and not allowing extra subs

well its tough when your playing 62 games in the season.

In fairness, there were players from both sides dropping with cramp like flies (do flies get cramp?).

One extra sub for each side would be a great idea. Fair play to Parry for coming out and saying it even after Liverpool won, it'd be too easy to just forget about it.

I agree with the extra sub allowance for Extra Time. Two more each seems fair, and would have worked in West Hams favour perhaps with Harewood.

Btw, I mentioned it in my post-match report *before* Parry mentioned it. Maybe he reads boards.ie ;-)

It always makes me laugh when players complain about being tired , they're professional athletes ffs , they should be well able to play the amount of games in a season at their level of fitness , most of them are big girls blouses if you ask me !

last season the average chelsea player was running 11/12 miles a game on the first day of the season and 8 miles a game on the last. professional athletes do get tired too, they are not machines. also i dont remember hearing any liverpool players complain this season about being tired or too many games unlike some teams in the past.

So they were pretending to have cramp?

Either that or Rafa put a bet of his £30 mill transfer money on...

3-3 Full time
3-1 Penos to Pool at 100,000,000/1

Now we can rival chelsea in the transfer market!!!

What use would one sub be in this situation? Liverpool at stages had 4-5 players lying on the ground, the needed a whole new team out on the field. West ham really could of used an extra sub for Harewood because he was just injuryed....Liverpool player had cramp

Maybe the authorities could take a leaf out of the GAA's handbook on this isue, when a GAA game goes to extra time, it is treated as a new game. Therefore teams would be allowed to make the same number of substitutions in extra time as they would be in normal time.

The only bad thing about the way the GAA do this is that if a team has had a man sent off in normal time, as they see it as a new game, that team is restored to its full compliment, but the player who was dismissed cant take part.

whats that got to do with the question?

again whats you're point...replacing one player who was unfit with somone who was fit wouldnt make a difference if 2-3 other players were having cramps? that logic doesn't make sense to me.

West ham really could of used an extra sub for Harewood because he was just injuryed....Liverpool player had cramp

which is why the question is being asked "do you think extra subs should be allowed in extra time"

i think 1 extra sub should be allowed in extra in case of injuries and to prevent extra time becoming an extra thirty minutes for everyone to wait for penalties.

No extra subs are not needed. It was the pace of the game that had so many of the players going down with cramp but that certainly isnt usually the case so to me the cup final was a strange game. You may get one or two players with cramp but tbh players can get cramp during the 90 mins too.

An extra sub is not needed and wont happen.

even more unlikely he might read a redspider post-match report having found his way to boards.ie
