Ya Bezzer! Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Every source that I've checked claims Hamilton and Dunfermline used 4 substitutes in their penalty shoot out victory against Dunfermline in this years Scottish Cup. This includes the Dunfermline Athletic website match report. Donati for Seaborne - 29 minutes Brophy for Kurtaj - 54 minutes Skondras for Gillespie - 68 minutes Cunningham for Bingham - 115 minutes ------------------------------------------------------------ Reilly for Clark - 69 minutes McCabe for Moffat - 83 minutes Paton for McMullan - 96 minutes Cardle for Higginbotham - 96 minutes Now I may be cynical and ill informed but this didn't really happen? Did it? Does anyone know who the actual substitutes were? Or did something extraordinary happen at this match!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 From this season 4th substitutes were allowed in ET in replays from R1 onwards. (Eminently sensible... 3 in 90mins, 1 in extra 30mins). Not sure if allowed in SFs & Final. EDIT: First instances were actually Ayr at QP and Raith at Hearts in preceding round. Clyde and Ayr also both did it in R5.

Zen Archer (Raconteur) Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Raith used four subs in the replay against Hearts. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/38713039 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ya Bezzer! Posted May 20, 2017 Author Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hadn't heard about this at all and I've not come across any other teams using 4 substitutes. Was this the first time it had happened? EDIT - Zen Archer used answered that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 IFAB only allowed it from this season. Down south it's different - restricted to ET in FA Cup from QFs onwards (i.e. rounds which don't have replays). Also:A Fifa statement read: "Following the recent decision by the IFAB to allow experimentation with a fourth substitution in extra-time, the Fifa executive committee agreed for such experiments to be conducted this year at the Olympic football tournaments, the Fifa Under-20 Women’s World Cup in Papua New Guinea and the Fifa Club World Cup in Japan". It's also been trialled in Copa America. I'd imagine it'll quickly become universal. Oddly enough it was once championed by Gordon Smith, IIRC, and I'm claiming he nicked it from a post of mine on P&B years ago . Six subs have been permitted in Supercups - and as maximum in international friendlies - for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lionel hutz Posted May 20, 2017 Share Posted May 20, 2017 Can a 4th sub be used in the play-off final should it go to ET? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
