Is it time to scrap replays for Scottish cup games and implement extra time and penalties?

I personally think it is time to ditch replays.

1. It is more exciting for fans and saves them having to fork out more money, as many of them struggle to afford it already without adding to the expense.

2. It will help with fixture congestion as it is crazy the amount of games you play if you are a successful team and qualify for Europe.

I personally wouldn't like replays to be scrapped, I think it would encourage the lesser team to just park the bus for 120 minutes then take their chance in a shootout.
I've got to be honest and say I don't have a lot of time for the argument about players playing too many games, whenever clubs do get a bit of spare time they generally go off and play friendlies somewhere.
As a fan I would rather they stay and play proper matches.
A lot of Celtic's problems at the moment were caused because we took a mid season break in January, with that and the odd postponement, it's meant we're having to cram matches into a short space of time.

other side of the coin Gerry is you have lesser teams defending for 90 mins to force a replay back at CP to get half the gate receipts and we have to fork out more money to go to the replay. .I'm all for finishing the game on the day
