22acr- Writer bound by hollow traditional protocol (8)
I have T?O?L?P? probably Trollope but why?

16acr- One replayed quarter-final tie ends goalless (4)
i?l? - surely IDLE - goalless but the rest?

I don't like to put answers in without understanding the full clue.

Thanks x

22a Bound by Hollow (remove boundary) ollo
tr. is a common way of abbreviating tradition
and I can only assume the PE is some kind of protocol
Thats my best guess at how the answer is made.

Thanks all. What a complicated clue and no wonder an old gal couldn't get it!

Sorry to disagree, but 22a is surely:

TROL (hollow TRaditional protocOL) LOPE (bound)

That makes much more sense GRM.

I couldn't believe the clue was so convoluted.

Are you a crossword setter by any chance as I've seen you posting some verry good explanations ?
