Heard on BBC Radio Swindon that an offer for Cox has been made by Fitton and we are waiting for a response from Reading.
Fingers crossed they will sell him as he couldn't even come off the bench Saturday for Reading even though someo f the rest of their players couldn't give two s***ts about the FA cup!

If we did actually sign Cox, because he was on the bench and didnt come on would he be cup tied in the FA Cup for us?

Yep, unused substitute doesn't count apparently. Does in Scotland though, weird.

When (what year) was the only time the FA waived the "cup tie" rule and why?
No looking it up either!!

Absolutely no idea! sounds interesting though.
Must have been a while back in the 50's or 60's though as I dont remember it in my lifetime, could well be wrong though!

Can't remember the year (1960?), but it was after the Munich air crash because Man Utd didn't have enough eligible players to field.

1958, after the Munich crash is riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!!!
I think they signed a couple of Sheff Wed players who had already played in the cup but the FA waived the rule.
50th Anniversary this year, I believe Utd are wearing a special 50's style kit (no sponsors) for the match that takes places on (or near) the actual date.

Indeed you're correct Jan the man. A commemorative kit for the derby against city. No sponsors, no names, numbers 1-11.

I have a lot of time for the story of Munich. Really saddens me to see fans like Leeds take the piss out of such a terrible event.
I think it's an age thing but to think that a bunch of young lads (and some slightly older people) lost their lives that night and years on scum think it's a funny idea to sing about it really angers me.
