DOM DI PAOLA has claimed the Football Association's decision to do away with replays in the FA Cup from the first round proper onwards is 'destroying their own competition'.

HORNETS GOT SUCH A BUZZ!

The FA announced on Thursday it was scrapping replays as of next season as part of a new six-year agreement between the game's governing body and the Premier League.

Currently, the FA Cup has no replays from the fifth round onwards but the FA says the move to eliminate them from an earlier stage has been made "in light of changes to the calendar driven by the expanded Uefa competitions".

For Pitching In Premier Division Horsham, it is sad news in the season when they took League One Barnsley to a replay at their Camping World Community World Stadium after a 3-3 first-round draw at Oakwell.

That simply wouldn't have happened under the new rules, with the tie decided on the day via extra-time and penalties if needed. The call has left Hornets boss Di Paola infuriated.
