I may be being a tad dense here, but if a player plays at some point through the competition, and signs on for someone else still in the cup, surely he becomes unable to play for the second team in that cup? I seem to remember Gillingham(?) fielding an unavailable player in an FA Cup game a few years back and getting a fine or maybe a replay was played. The player had been on loan somewhere, played 5 minutes as a sub for whichever team and when he was sent back to Gillingham(?) they used him as a sub because no-one at the loan team had mentioned it. Neither did the player, the dozy sod. With regards to Willo Flood playing in the cup final, he’d surely be cup tied?
