3 internationals

im sure that there was a rule once that if u had 3 players on international duty then your game would be automatically postponed,i think that this rule should be re-introduced so therefore the fa would have to rethink the whole structure of the league cup. Its crazy any team should be forced to play a game with so many players missing

6 would be a good number, but it'll never happen, fa are clueless.

It's nothing to do with the FA it's the Football League who organise/run the 'League' Cup, and it was the clubs themselves who voted to abolish the 3 player on international duty rule last summer !

surely championship clubs wouldnt vote for that because im sure that there are other teams in the same position as us,if we had no internationals and played a "weaker" team,would we get fined?
