Marcus Olsson is NOT cup-tied.

Well I just took the time to read the rules on the FA website and unused subs are eligible to play for another team, so he can play on Friday if required

Rule 15 (g):
A substitute who does not play in a match is entitled to play for another Club in the
Competition in the same season.

Big FAIL for you there sph

FA Cup has a specific rule (15g) that clearly states that an unused sub can play for another club in the competition in the same season. Capitol One Cup rules are not as clear stating only that a player cannot play for more than one club in the same season. However, with "play" seeming to be the operative word, I would guess that the interpretation would be as defined in the FA Cup rules.

Big FAIL for you there sph

Do you know, I googled that as well. Just shows what rubbish is out there on the t'interweb!!

At least Martin being cup-tied won't bother Sunderland or Newcastle

He isn't cup tied for the FA cup yet

Good point tommo! I wonder if there is anything in that?

Might find out on Friday

Looks like he's gonna make his debut as well.

That article doesn't mention Olsson Igor?

I know but a Scouse is feeling sorry for UTD, his head can't be right
