LOL at the Mac Lads' equaliser and what a scramble that saw Cheltenham almost equalise with the final kick of the match at Hartlepool.
Also, Borehamwood's goal at Northwich was a bit of a fuck-up all round by the Vics' keeper.

How come the highlights from Dagenham 0 - 0 Morecambe aren't up yet? I've been anxiously waiting for that one.

What chance that you keep Windass through January? Seems to be performing week in week out.

He has been our best player this season so far and there seems to be a lot of interest. There are more scouts than fans I think in our main stand now! With new owners and investment we're not as cash-strapped as in the past but Im sure a big offer would not be ignored by us...

Quietly through ....I think we'll stay under the Radar and sneak into the quarters this year

What was with your home kit today?

Also, having watched soccer Saturday, I don't think anything about the manner of Hartlepool's progression to the second round could be described as quiet.

Would happily reverse our result yesterday with our league game a few weeks ago. Our performance yesterday was a lot better, although I'm not sure we deserved to win the tie outright; perhaps a replay was about right. Crawley definitely had chances; they're a big side and a real threat at set pieces.

I've seen Crawley twice now - I think they'll comfortably escape relegation.

Was wondering that myself. Usually they play in that diagonal stripe thing.

Have Hartlepool brought out a new home kit in the middle of a season?

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

Clint Dog leading the line for us with Wheeler and Nichols playing off him.

A front 3 that would rival any in world football.

Full time Didcot 1-0 Exeter.

Thunderbirds are not go

 

[hellogregory]

The pitch doesn't look too bad on the TV. Well better than Salford's anyway!

Cannot see an upset here. A comfortable Exeter win here.

 

[Whitechapel]

COME ON DIDCOT!

I have fond memories of Exeter services, always the stopping point on the way to Cornwall.

Can't doubt my town, Didcot to win 1-0

 

[EricSabin]

Come on Didcot. Then we can have them in the next round

We'll have you n all!

 

[EricSabin]

We'll have you n all!

If we are on TV and earning money then we have a deal!

 

[hellogregory]

As much as I'd love Didcot to win, I can't see them holding on. The pitch is much faster than the one at Salford the other night which suits the professionals. Didcot were already showing signs of tiring in that first half and have no outlet up front.

The best they can hope for is an Exeter city fuck up or a set piece.

 

[shoddycollins]

I hope Didcot win, because if they don't then it's almost a done deal that we will draw Exeter away in the next round.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Thought we played well yesterday but still can't score. The Oldham fans I spoke to after were extremely pissed off with their performance. I think the replay will suit us as all the pressure will be on them to attack and win the game, We are much better away so we will see how it goes. I fancy our chances alot more than I did now we have the game at our place out of the way.

I'm predicting Portsmouth away.

 

[shoddycollins]

I'm predicting Portsmouth away.

Good job Stevenage did Gillingham over, or a trip to Kent would have been a dead cert.

 

[hellogregory]

That's a really good finish by Clinton Morrison.

Expect the floodgates to open now.

 

[hellogregory]

Good job Stevenage did Gillingham over, or a trip to Kent would have been a dead cert.

Walsall away would be a really shit draw as well.

 

[hellogregory]

All the kids in Didcot look the same.

 

[shoddycollins]

I like Didcot... good family club. Mr Sophos must be very proud of how his sons are playing today.

 

[shoddycollins]

Oh well... best start packing our bags for the trip to Exeter. We may as well just leave Dan Hanford down there in Devon.

 

[George Reilly's Hairpiece]

"Exeter might feel that they need the luxury of a second goal" If its needed then its not a luxury is it?!

The biggest surprise is that it wasn't Adam Virgo that came out with that pearl of wisdom.

 

[hellogregory]

Exeter haven't been anywhere near their best, but unlike Notts County their players have actually matched their non league opponents for effort, meaning the extra quality can show in the end.

The good fast pitch has helped Exeter as well. Salford's sticky slow mud bath was definitely a leveller on Friday.

 

[Whitechapel]

We were robbed.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

It's our fooking year. Pleased with that. Thought Clint and Moore Taylor played well for us. We got the job done so yay.

Hopefully another non league side in round 2.

 

[MrGloverLover]

...and we've had Sokolik sent off after 7 minutes. FFS. Definite red, idiot.

 

[Laker]

Yeovil 1 up but now down to 9 men. If they hold on it would be a great effort.
