FA Cup 2024/25

The biggest club in the competition away to a non-league club? I'll be stunned if it isn't on.

Completely forgot they are non-league again. You're right.

Great tie as you say, Kettering have been good this season as well so they'll fancy it. Plenty of talent at the top end of the pitch for them to call on.

Including a certain Nile Ranger…

 

[Luke Imp]

Isn’t Bruno Andrade at Kettering? Went downhill for him big time.

Yeah he was there in the second half of last season, left, and is now back again.

He dropped a bollock by signing for the money at Salford, going down a division instead of going up (or to a bigger L1 side). Mind you, word was he got himself into a bit of a pickle down south and became a Dad so perhaps his head hasn't been in it for a while.

Indeed, and a selection of very pacy wingers who will cause anyone a bit of bother. Wouldn't be surprised to see them back in the National North before too long personally.

Sutton United away, love that, will be on telly. Proper tie very happy with that. Hopefully the Pie man is still there

That joker went years ago.

Very jealous of that trip to Curzon; I remember sitting on the fence there with a couple of tins watching the game, probably the only aspect of non-League I truly miss. Give the Prince of Orange a visit, decent boozer nearby.

We've got Vegan Hamas Rovers, thankfully it's at home, don't know much about them these days other than they've got ex-Hatter Harry Caldwell and his amazing hair.

They had a decent side back then - the tall CB with a long throw, Seddon, Dempster, Boucard. Think they went pop two or three years after that, they must have spent some serious money on their squads under Ladak (who's now in jail/been to jail?).

His problem with us was that Frank Sinclair made an accusation against a guy in the crowd of racial abuse, which they denied and their Chairman got really salty with it ahead of the replay (which they won 2-1 with a last minute winner). Made all sort of bizarre statements in the lead up to that game.

Mark Cooper was manager at the time as well, that's where the Cooper/Lincoln beef comes from, not because of FGR and battling them for the title.

We were always have damien reeves when we were conference, though he had a business as well - he had a decorating business round these parts - as knew a mate of his so the money wasn’t worth it etc - they’ve had it rough and we’re down at NPL for a season.

Think we pretty much always beat them too after our first season

and Ben Tozer, who, lets be honest, had an absolute nightmare when he played for us at your place.

Looking forward to it, I've seen tectonic plates with a smaller turning circle

If you ever want to, check out the goal from Andy Cook when Bratfud played us at our place. It was like watching 2 oil tankers turn on a sixpence. Jesus.

Walsall are in League Two...

 

[The Terminator]

Boreham Wood away, lost there twice in two seasons in our non league days, they ALWAYS raised their game against us in the four games we had against them, although at our place we beat them 1-0 and drew 0-0 in the reverse fixtures in those two seasons.

At least its local I guess.

Oh god not Boring Wood. You poor, poor bastards.

Some Barnet fan has described us as a 'crap League One club' and easily beatable. Half term has started early..
