FA Cup 2021/22

[shoddycollins]

There was 8,000 (total attendance) there at Wembley to see them play Fylde in that play off final. There was never any interest there in the first place, just media hype.

In the 1st round, Horsham brought approximately 10 times the number of fans to Carlisle as Salford took to Dagenham.

 

[Super_horns]

ITV beat the BBC to the Salford first round game so the BBC were probably extra determined not to let it happen again.

It’s on ITV again though.

 

[AdamStag]

well it is technically a non-league side vs a non-league side.

The only bonus of it being on a sunday evening is that it’s appeared to have buggered up the spireites plan for a sesh day on the saturday

 

[Devon_Lad]

Could not be less excited for tonight's game against Bradford.

Feelings mutual, at least you aren’t wasting your time though going all that way when you know you’re getting knocked out.

Shame we can’t send a white flag down instead.

Really don't want us to go through considering what we are to face in the second round. How boring.

But then again, I don't particularly want us to lose our unbeaten run.

Meh.

I couldn't give a fig about the unbeaten run. Rather we had lost a few if it meant we had won the same number and therefore had more points.

 

[Sydney Posse]

I’m still a big fan of the FA cup. Maybe an age thing. The magic isn’t there yet, but that can change super quick if you manage to be in the draw for round 3

Simply because it's the longest in English (professional) football at the moment I'd like to keep it going. But I agree I'd rather we didn't have the longest run and won a couple more of the draws even if it meant losing some.

 

[Devon_Lad]

We've put a relatively strong team out, but our strength from the bench looks incredible. I've never seen us have such squad depth and quality. We could field two completely different starting 11s most weeks and both would be very competitive.

And we can't play Podge

 

[Cas]

We've named an unchanged side from the Vale game. Can't wait to lose this, get smashed on Saturday and have Adams blame tired legs. Beautiful.

 

[AR27]

Well we're starting with 10 men as Alex Gilliead somehow keeps his place.

 

[Devon_Lad]

And we can't play Podge

Which is daft considering Newport aren't even in the comp anymore, I could understand the first game.

 

[Kauto Star]

He cannot play in the replay, but if you manage to beat us tonight, he would be able to play in the next round

 

[denzel ecfc]

Could really do without extra time tonight

 

[Cas]

Half time, 0-0 and it sounds pretty even...I think. We've a new commentator who sounds like Ben Kinglsey reading an audiobook of Macbeth.

But apparently - "We've put a relatively strong team out, but our strength from the bench looks incredible. I've never seen us have such squad depth and quality. We could field two completely different starting 11s most weeks and both would be very competitive."..................so it really doesn't matter at all.

It's the Huddersfield commentator Paul Ogden. Stepped in as Jamie Raynor had to cover the Yorkshire Cricket Club mess today as Jamie is the Cricket correspondent for Radio Leeds

 

[Gassy]

God I love the FA Cup

3-1 down at 110mins, only to win 4-3.

Absolutely unreal

 

[Devon_Lad]

Extra time it is then. What nobody wanted, just like this bloody replay to begin with.

Co commentator is interesting.

 

[Cas]

Well done Rovers and Hartlepool.

Extra time for us. Yay.

 

[Kauto Star]

Co commentator is interesting.

Ex Bantams player Andy Kiwomya

 

[Gassy]

We just love winning the 2nd half!

 

[BRFC_Gas]

Wow, what a turnaround. We are starting to look like a team who are playing for each other

 

[Chief Rocka]

Got a goal, defended very well by the sounds of things and had some fortune on our side after they hit he post three times, but it matters not, Lincoln here we come.

 

[Cas]

I'd rather games go straight to pens and just ditch the need for extra time.

Pleased for the Poolies, will certainly give them some confidence coming down to Sincil Bank. Will probably a bigger gate now it’s not versus Wycombe too.
