Surely that’s the referee and his team’s fault?

Isn't this the same thing Wolfsburg were kicked out of the cup for at the beginning of the season?

"I should have done more due diligence as manager, it's my responsibility," he added.

Sounds like he's trying to shift the blame here

I'd say so - don't know why Bradford should have to play another 90 minutes due to their feck up.

Followed this quite closely as I look out for Exeter's results and it seems that they were told beforehand that a 6th sub was allowed so the officials have to take some of the blame. Still should know the rules themselves of course but as it's not completely their fault I guess the FA have taken a more lenient view.

They made theirs at the start of extra-time and Bradford tried to make a 6th later on but were told they couldn't. The rules appear to have changed this season and the 4th official hadn't been involved at this level before so it just looks like a mistake from everyone.

Why did the match officials allow them to make the sub?

Sounds like they're doing a replay because the feck up is on the officials, not Exeter.

If the officials let them then it’s on them imo.
