I wonder why "BBC Sport has contacted the FA for a response" when the FA have already said that "this decision is final and binding."

We get this every season. Clubs know the rules and what is required of them so get on with it and don't whinge and moan when you've spent your budget on the team and not the facilities.

I was there, a truly awful game between two truly awful teams, Brakes won 2-1 aet with a 108th-minute winner, Hitchin's no 5 blasted over an open goal from 2 yards out in the 122nd minute

Obeng was anonymous and ineffective and should have been red-carded for punching an opponent in the head after they both fell off the pitch in a challenge, the ref bottled it and just spoke to them both; but he did red-card (2nd-yellow?) the offender for the penalty. RTB's penalty was dispatched superbly under enormous pressure

Obeng was subbed soon thereafter by Batchelor who was his usual combative self. Tom James was an unused sub

2102 (crows) including, if my eyes didn't deceive me (I didn't get to speak to him), the manager of AFC Telford United, if he was there talent-spotting he had a wasted afternoon

No highlights online yet, but I will watch for them to see if that late miss was as glaring as I thought from the other end or if Breeden saved it as some reports are suggesting

... and here's the winning goal - now, would you say those defenders are putting their bodies on the line as if their lives (or even their promotion hopes) depended on it?

FGR was the 'local' derby for TU over Christmas/New year - just 126 miles away!

Looks like Eastleigh (131 miles) or Aldershot (160 miles) now!!
