      That record was broken this year in Australia. Macarthur FC vs Newcastle Jets in February 2023. From kick-off to the full time whistle, 4 hours had passed due to delays caused by electrical storms. That eclipsed the previous record set in 1946 between English sides Stockport and Donscaster Rovers which lasted 3 hours and 23 minutes

    Sadly, FA Cup third and fourth round replays are expected to be scrapped. Not only this but the 2 legged semi finals of the EFL cup are also likely to disappear from the English football calendar. The reason for this is being attributed to the expansion of European competitions. Sad news for smaller teams in the competition. Getting a replay, especially if it's shown on TV, is a big help for non-league teams. I agree with changing the league cup semi-finals to one leg, but I think the FA Cup decision is awful and will really hurt lower tier teams. Just to explain, in the FA Cup, ticket money is split equally (45% each) between the teams, no matter where the game is played. So, if a team like Accrington plays at Old Trafford, they get about half of the ticket money from the whole stadium. This money is crucial for lower-league teams. Getting rid of replays means teams with a home draw against bigger opponents miss out on this big financial help...

      The teams should be asked after the draw is made. If either of them says yes to replays, a drawn game should be replayed. That way, Prem teams playing against each other could decide not to but lower league teams could benefit from them.

    There’s a local story here in the parish where I live, they didn’t had penalty kicks in the regulation after the regular time , there was this golden goal rule instead. Once in a tournament, one game ended in a draw because at the time rural Portugal was very poor and the fields didn’t had lights. The game lasted for 4 hours because no one managed to score a goal and just ended because it was very dark. In the very next day, they held a rematch and again, lasted for so long, that both teams just decided to divide the trophy, that because the next day was going to be a Monday and players couldn’t miss their job. 😅
