FA Cup replays, sometimes running for 4 or 5 games.
Also FA Cup semi final replays no longer exist. That famous Ryan Giggs goal against Arsenal was in a FA Cup semi final replay.
The Bayern Munich against Athletico Madrid European Cup final in the 1970s went to a replay.
2 leg UEFA Cup finals are no more.
The Cup Winners Cup is gone.
I'm going to start crying in a minute. What have they done to our game?Huh?Huh?Huh?

Oh yes about the FA Cup relays thing.

I remember the 5th round draw always used to include teams still in the 3rd round down to replays and postponed matches.

Was never a fan of the two legged UEFA Cup final I must admit.

Celebrating scoring a goal against a team you once had a one month loan spell at.

Teams changing ends before the kick off after they have lost/won the toss.

This happened Forest vs Leeds on December 29th Smiley

Can't recall even seeing a toss-up before kick off in Premier League games, come to think of it. Do they spin the con in the dressing room now?

a player being good

a player is now either

shit, hopeless, worse than my nan or a lot worse

or

world class, best player ever, brightest prospect for years

when in reality most players sit in the average-good bracket by definition if you play in a top european league you are not a "shit" player

Wow, glad I'm not the only one irritated by that.

Same with Managers. Some lad who plays FM thinks he knows better.

Clueless idiot 

Yeah, right.

F A Cup replays definitely miss those, remember Forest's Cup run in 1991 think we were one round behind for a while after epic replays vs Palace.

....Teams only wearing an away strip if their home strip clashed with their opponents.

Someone getting clattered from behind by a proper 'reducer' and getting up and carrying on.

Helicopter coverage of the team coaches wading through traffic on route to the FA Cup final. Used to love that for some reason.

Rattles, black boots. Linesman rather than assistant referees

A game lasting 90mins, not 96
