Are the FA trying to kill their own Cup?

SPORTING competitions have to make sense. The narrative has to proceed with established order. it makes no sense, for instance, that the league Cup is a one-match knockout tournament in each round including the final, yet suddenly becomes a two-legged affair at the semi-final stage. And it certainly makes no sense that in the FA Cup third round this year, some of the ties will go to replays in the event of a draw, while others will be concluded on the day. The decision on which ties fall into what category will be made after the draw. it’s nonsense. either every drawn tie is replayed, or every tie is decided in one game. Fans can follow that. if it transpired the FA were on a secret mission to kill their own competition, it would have more grounding in logic.
