Reading boss Steve Clarke is unimpressed by the date of their FA Cup replay with Bradford City.

Clarke accused the Football Association of "devaluing the competition" after bowing to UEFA pressure to stage their FA Cup quarter-final replay with Bradford a week on Monday.

He said: "I think the FA are devaluing the competition a little bit by making both teams play on Saturday then Monday. Why don't they just play it (on Tuesday or Wednesday) - what are UEFA going to do?

"I love the FA Cup and everything it stands for. Bradford's run to this point has been amazing and all that romance is there but the FA choose to make both teams play on a Monday. That is the one disappointment."
