2017/18 FA Cup

[Jemfy]

7-0 according to the FA Website. Lol.

Ha, I'm sure that's an error of the system they use to collect scores to report on them ASAP, club secretaries text them in (it's the responsibility of the home side, but I believe the away side is meant to too) - I'm guessing the Wellingborough secretary is using an old school phone and pressed the wrong button.

 

[eightiesrobin]

FA cup time again, it starts earlier every year for Alty. Abbey Hey or Maine Road away for us.

A number of low ranked sides left in the Northern section. Really good for AFC Rusden and Diamonds. Tividale have suffered 2 straight relegations form Evo Stik Division One South and Midland League Premier and now play in the West Midlands Regional League

I'm always cautious with FA Cup games, especially away from home, we've been the underdog knocking out teams from a level or two above us before.

That said a game against a step 6 side is the best you can hope for at this stage, even if they did have to come through a couple of rounds to get here. There are certainly far tougher draws out there...

Oh for fucks sake.

When and where are these lives matches?

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

When and where are these lives matches?

On BBC website, a week tomorrow at 12.30. Come on...*double-checks who they are playing*...Didcot.

 

[doveranddover]

are they on the red button too?

 

[BigDaveCUFC]

Then next Salford I guess?

Waste of time this service with uninteresting ties picked by showing only 3-4 clubs before a draw is even made.

Id love for once cup games picked for what highlights what the fa cup is than by cheap picks to ego based money clubs

Annoys me that a couple of years ago the BBC paid out money to 'owned by millionaires' Salford to show their cup matches, when so many other clubs need that revenue. Now BBC paying millionaire owned Billericay some cup money too. Can understand the 'public interest' but seems like the BBC should be supporting the majority of struggling clubs not the already rich ones. Plus the owner is an absolute tool and this plays to his ego.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Seems Sun Postal Sports who Hayes and Yeading played in the FA Cup have folded.

 

[eightiesrobin]

are they on the red button too?

No, just net

Well that comes as no surprise, first chance they get they jump into bed with the bankrolled clubs.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Do the clubs get much/any money for being shown on the website? The main solace we can take is that there'll probably only be a few hundred people watching, and there's every chance Tamplin will embarrass himself on camera.

They are given £1,000 each.

 

[The Paranoid Pineapple]

We (just about) managed to beat Shoreham to advance. *Cue next round exit*

 

[Habbinalan]

Cambridge City 3 - 1 St Neots Town

Went to watch some live FA Cup giant killing last night rather than suffer dire international matches.

City were sharp and well organised again and deserved their win, even though Saints hit the post early and had a cross bar to goalline then cleared moment towards the end. Gent and Miller were magnificent at the back, Tom Knowles and Salim Relizani stood out on the wings.

Hope they can manage to avoid a saturday kick off for the next round as well.

 

[Paddy]

We tried our best to do the usual "get knocked out early by a lower league side" routine but somehow still managed to win.

Just like you though I'm not overly enthusiastic of a cup run. We'll probably draw a Conference South team now & get our arses handed to us.

 

[eightiesrobin]

Surely you can beat the winner of that tie?!

Funny you should say that..

Alty 3-0 up after 25 minutes, embarrassing in its one-sideness.

Poole goes off injured, Abbey Hey score from a corner and a free kick and an 84th minute penalty and spunk a chance to win it in the last minute.

The torchum never stops

[Aberstone]

Somewhere new and away in the draw tomorrow (here's looking at you FC Romania). Looking at the draw for the 1QR, I'm still trying to work out if there was a Northern, Midland and Southern section or if there was a free for all in the South. Godalming going to Hereford doesn't stack up with the former from a geographical standpoint.

Edit: Sad to see Alty can't even get past Abbey Hey. Questions need to be asked there as to what's happened in the past 12 months.

 

[Jemfy]

Tividale 2 - 3 Diamonds

Given a bit of a scare by the team a couple of divisions lower going behind twice, but Nabil Shariff took his tally for the season up to 10 already by putting in all 3 goals.

In the hat for the 2nd qualifying round once again, I'd like something winnable please, preferably at home.

Not 100% sure as it is different every year but I would guess a North, Midlands, South split?
