| | Havant and Waterlooville defender Justin Gregory is set to miss the FA Cup clash at Liverpool after a dispute over a re-arranged league fixture. The Hawks had hoped Gregory could serve a one-match ban on Wednesday when they face Blue Square South rivals Thurrock. But the Football Association decided the new date was an attempt to clear his ban ahead of the Hampshire club's dream fourth-round trip to Anfield. Gregory must now sit it out, and said the decision was "a nightmare." The suspension came into force after he totted up five cautions, but Gregory added: "The FA are pretty archaic if you ask me. "There's not much I can do about it. One minute I'm playing at Liverpool, the next I'm in the stands. It's heartbreaking. "I've written a few emails to officials to explain the situation, but I don't remember them going back on a decision too many times, so I guess I just have to live with it. "I did an interview saying I was happy there was a league game taking place so my suspension would be cleared, but that was taken out of context. "The FA officials obviously saw that and think the game has been specifically arranged." "I'm absolutely gutted, but you also have to keep things in perspective. Nobody died and it gives someone else the chance to play at Anfield." The FA are a disgrace, just let the lad serve his ban tonight, Was gonna be one of the biggest games of his life at the weekend and because the FA are so up themselves they piss on his parade. |

| | If there is a game and he doesn't play he has served his ban. End of. I think they may not have been so harsh on a premier league player.
