Truro made it to round one! Good for them, I hope they get a good draw.

 

[The_Boss]

Daggers 0-0 Orient.

Competitive game but no quality from either side in the final third. We couldn't shoot and the referee failed to book about 4-5 Orient players for deliberate tugbacks during our breakaways.

Any idea when your replay will be?

First time in 48 years a team from Cornwall has made the first Round I believe.

In 3 days on Tuesday. It won't affect our game.

Professional performance from Bromley today at Dover. Wasn't the best game, but we had chances to win it which should have been taken. Looking forward to at least being in the hat for the first round for the first time since we came up. Was surprised to see we signed Roger Johnson, but he played well.

Good good. I've arranged to work in London the tues and weds in week of our game!

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Not a bad think if your looking for promotion mate. I wouldnt have minded us going out tbh.

Getting your excuses in early for when we dump you out AGAIN?

Nice to see we've lasted longer in the cup than a handful of our Conference rivals.

 

[Mark kavanagh]

0-0 at half time. Two quick goals after the break then Fondop was dragged back in the box whilst one on one, penalty and red card for the centre half. It was a cruise by that point.
Hopefully that instills some confidence in our team going forwards.

Crikey haw do you get penalties given? Weve had our last four nailed ons turned away.

You can have ours, we keep missing them anyway.

It's only our second of the season. The last one was at Maidstone last week!

Correct, first team since Falmouth Town in 1969. Home to the Gills please.

 

[Luke Imp]

Good result for Trinity, especially being 1-0 down at HT.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Good result for Trinity, especially being 1-0 down at HT.

They really seemed to have turned a corner since we thrashed them. We however have gone the other way.

 

[Shotsfan1993]

Wasn't pretty but we're in the draw. Great to see Mensah back (just in time to score his usual screamer against Tranmere hopefully ). Everyone got a massive lift when he came on.

 

[DarkSithLord]

I see a stoppage time equaliser from Brackley forced a replay against Billericay. I hope they win their replay.

Not at all surprised Macclesfield made short work of Stourbridge. They almost messed up a two man advantage against us.

Sounded like a decent effort from Buxton too against Gateshead.

 

[B2TF]

Has anyone seen our right back? He was last seen in his position at 3pm and hasn't been seen since. He wears white boots and vaguely resembles someone who plays football for a living, if anyone sees him please call us, we're worried sick about where he could be.

Excuse me .....Our right back is worse than yours.

Andy Halls is a disgrace to the shirt. Doesn't seem to give a fuck and his errors are costing at least one goal every game. He's yet to find another Chester player with a pass, gets minced every game and Macc fans must be pissing themselves laughing that we got him and they got Durrell (who was one of our better players last season) but upset McCarthy and was unforgivably released. It will take a long time to get rid of McCarthy's legacy.

Daggers 0-0 Orient.

Competitive game but no quality from either side in the final third. We couldn't shoot and the referee failed to book about 4-5 Orient players for deliberate tugbacks during our breakaways.

The ref and the linesman on the side terrace side were appalling I thought. They both missed out on giving us 2 blatent corners and we committed at least 3 yellow card worthy fouls when you broke and he didn't give any out as you pointed out.......

Thought it was a good all round cup tie myself, both teams haven't been pulling up trees with their performances in the league. Game opened up at the end as both sides tried to win it, Dagenham edged it I thought overall.

Morgan Ferrier looked a decent target striker for the National League, if he was more prolific he could go higher.

Thought the three at the back helped us out alot more, Judd and Happe both played well for us.

A shame we will lose the replay, but there we go. If that was a league game, I'd have been very happy with that performance from us.

We need to make up our mind who the penalty taker is and bloody stick to it!! every time we get a pen it seems Pigs & Zavon are arguing over who will take it

This is uncanny. It is clear we are talking about the same player, who has evidently achieved a quantum state, whereby he can exist in 2 places at once. Unfortunately neither of those places are where a right back is supposed to be. If he turns up at our end, i'll let you know.

Down to 10 men on the stroke of half time after a pretty even first half, but one we shaded and were 1-0 up in. Then came back from 2-1 and 3-2 down, despite being down to 10 men. Enjoyable game, some dodgy decisions - our management who are very reasoned, didn't like the sending off, but the player need not have given the ref a decision to make.

To be fair Tamplin he wasn't a tool on the touch line, although from listening to his shouted instructions he knows as much about football as me - i.e. an amateur. I'd say the replay is a 50/50 game - although I don't fancy the chances of getting down from Northants to Essex on the M25 on a Tuesday night.

 

[Redbank]

Poor game at Crabble , where both defences dominated one good chance to both teams, which were not taken , Dover struggle to breakdown teams that pack out their defence, referee way out of his depth as well , almost lost control of the game.The Bromley keeper needs to take a look at himself , blatant cheating c*** , bet his mum is so proud of him as well, didn't show in the club house after either wonder why , I expect Bromley management to hide there heads in the sand as well , no need for that , but that Bromley and a poor referee who guessed more than made decisions

 

[The_Boss]

Do BBC or BT show highlights of this round?

 

[East Bank Shot]

Anyone know what number Eastleigh are in Monday's draw?

 

[GuiseleySteve]

Anyone know what number Eastleigh are in tomorrow's draw?

 

[Bluandwite]

Bignot's declared that we're going full time on Monday after today's horror show. Angry scenes at the end.

Our fans were actually chanting for Andy Halls to be sent off when he committed a foul and then booed when he was only booked for it.

 

[El Guapo]

We held on.

I was at the match today. Was expecting Stourbridge to be a bit more competitive but they couldn’t get close to you at all. Better moment on and off the ball and obviously far more clinical in the final third. I liked the look of the number 8, Tyrone Marsh.

 

[Mr Scooty]

Weirdly flat atmosphere away at Fylde today. I'm sure that was partly due to the pleasant yet soulless ground and the club we were playing, but then the team selection didn't inspire either, which was overly negative and defensive for a cup competition. And then we took too long making changes to try and rectify it.

A pretty poor match with nothing much between the sides won by a singe goal.

I enjoyed my Zinger and got myself some nice beers from the Aldi.

 

[RLC]

I thought we outclassed Halifax today and should have won by a bigger margin. Norburn was outstanding.

Four unbeaten since the switch to 442 and signs that we are finally getting our act together.
