SPOT ON: Penalties were the theme of the last eight WHILE I respect the post-Covid decision to do away with replays in the FA Trophy and FA Vase, I can’t help but feel that the semi-finals at least deserve a period of extra-time, if not a second leg, before the dreaded penalty shoot-out. I remember watching Arlesey Town go 3-0 down in their first leg back in 1995, only to still go through to Wembley and beat Oxford City 2-1 in the final. I have met a number of supporters and groundhoppers this year who agree with my sentiments. SANDY REYNOLDS, Stevenage, Herts
