Briefly, Stevenson banned for 3 league/FA Cup games, tomorrow nights game doesn't count as part of the 3 game ban but as he's banned from league and other cups he can't play tomorrow!

I have read that right haven't I!?

Have we reached a point where its now the knock out stage ? I haven't been following it too closely.

The suspension counts for Cambridge, Southend and Sheff U games.

But for whatever reason despite not being banned for tomorrow night he can't play

Yes just listened to Clive and it's ridiculous, sounds like it's not considered a serious game.
Said something about Kelly Evans got a double yellow in this but could play in other comps so works both ways.
But Aguero can play in CL while banned.
Of course my stupidity suggesting in my initial post would be overcome by the 5 from previous games.
Clives just enlarged that it was a late change at the request of Clubs to avoid a situation such as Kelly Evans.

Its not. We have championship teams kids playing in it v league one teams who field their kids and get fined for it

The whole thing is a complete and utter joke.

At this point, my bet for what used to be the league trophy for league one and two teams would be Norwich under 23's

This cup gets crazier by the year. Man City and Barcelona have both made nine changes in the champions league but you can only make five in this.
