Football Italia with the replay rules following the suspended Catania-Roma match, which was halted in the 65th minute on January 14th because of a waterlogged pitch:
Under Serie A regulations, the tie will resume from where it left off at 19.00 UK time on Wednesday.
Only players who were signed to the clubs at the time of the original game can take part in this ‘mini’ encounter.
Therefore, Catania cannot field Marco Motta, Felipe Ignacio Seymour, Osariemen Giulio Ebagua or Juan Pablo Carrizo, while Marco Biagianti and Giovanni Marchese were suspended for the original match.
Meanwhile, Roma substituted Francesco Totti and Daniele De Rossi during the original match, so they cannot come back into the game tomorrow.
The game will start with a throw-in by Catania at the 64th minute. I don’t know why but I find this all completely, ridiculously wonderful, like Tracy Jordan recreating Smooth Move Ferguson on 30 Rock.
