Argyle vs Chelski (Original thread)

[up the line]

Why haven't any youngsters been given a chance?

We have to field a "suitably strong" side or we get fined up to £5000. Also, all players must be registered to play in the EFL, which I'm not sure many of the kids are, as there are only a limited number of players that can be registered as part of the first team squad

At least Fletcher is getting a start

Another bizarre example of the stupidity of this tournament.
We'd get fined for fielding our youngsters in a tournament now designed to allow the big boys an opportunity to field theirs

Wouldn't be surprised if the EFL had asked us to.

Listening via iFollow atm.

Who is the guy commentating? All on his own, very chatty. Also enjoyed 'that's not a foul ref'. Guess he's an 'in house' guy?

and been given a sweetener of £20K for taking part plus £10K for a win ...the EFL are pulling out all the stops to make things work....Alan Richardson is commentating for BBC Radio Devon...plus Devonport choca which is shown(on twitter feed) but Lyndy empty which is not....manipulation at its best... Well done Argyle...
