FA Cup Round 1

[EricSabin]

Do they have a hill outside the stadium you can stand on and protest?

Really hope we get a replay, just to see

It's not that hard to comprehend is it?
What did Oxford Utd achieve in 2005/06?

Where's the mention of 2005/2006? There isn't one, so it could refer to anything.

If he means get relegated then why not say so? Lots of teams have been relegated since Oxford in 2006, so why refer to it as doing an Oxford? Obviously the reason is that he's a sad wind up merchant with a huge chip on his shoulder regarding Oxford United. Obsessed actually.

 

[BeesKnees]

Can't see us being even remotely close to sell out.
Blackpool fans are boycotting in protest at their owner and the ticket prices agreed between the two clubs actually works out dearer than normal games for not barnet members\ season ticket holders. Kids have to pay £5 instead of £1, no family tickets and no 15% discount for hive members.
Shame really as without the Blackpool issues and with a reasonable pricing structure we could've had a decent atmosphere.

It worked though.

Orient and Oxford should have their own thread

I read that if there's much more rain up north our game at Halifax on sunday could be postponed, hope not as our league game at Bristol Rovers was postponed due to international call ups and our game against Notts County has gone the same way as they have 3 players on international duty.

How very amusing.

I wish our game at Maidstone could be postponed until we get some players back. No chance of that unfortunately as they have a 3G pitch.

No chance it will be postponed, new works over summer makes that athing of the past. No postponement, no repreive, no mercy.

Glad to hear it.

You're talking about yourself there!

 

[Gashead]

Not a huge Notts fan but I think I want them to win tonight. Bloody Salford.

 

[Habbinalan]

We'll smash them. Keep the faith. ;-)

Caught up in the Lufthansa strike so although getting out of Buenos Aires is a doddle, it looks like I'll be following this one on Frankfurt Wi-Fi. Hoping for plenty of action and reaction for Joe Dunne.

4-2 thanks to our dodgy keeper - whoever he plays.

Nah, no way, never, they simply aren't on the same planet as Rakish.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

We've sold 598 out of an 800 allocation for our game against Didcot. You can also pay on the day so we could be close to selling out. I however have decided to watch our embarrassing exit from the comfort of my living room.

You will slaughter Didcot.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Exeter's defeat against Warrington was notable for the fact that Warrington converted their only chance whereas Exeter created plenty of chances and failed to convert any of them. If Didcot create as many chances as Warrington did and Exeter do the same regarding themselves, Exeter will win handsomely this time.
Just play at a higher tempo!

I'm bored of TV pundits citing fitness problems in non league footballers. Most have only 1 training session less than professional sides, so its not all that different. Non league football has changed massively in the last few seasons.

That said, I can't see Notts County not winning this game very comfortably - by 3 I reckon.

 

[cufc17]

Think it'll be a close game, and Liam Noble will probably get sent off.
2-1 or 3-1 Notts.

 

[cufc17]

Salford should've been ahead, great chance missed. Look decent going forward.

 

[GodsGift]

County look shit.

Surely it makes more sense to have Audel at CB and Sheehan at LB?

 

[jacobncfc]

Can't see the game but someone just threw a firework over the fence at us, which is great.

I agree about the fitness side, used to really irritate me when we were in the Conference and we had drawn a league club. We were a fully professional side ffs.

But they won't win 3-0 at this rate. Salford are playing well.

 

[hellogregory]

Notts county look absolutely terrible. They don't look up for this one bit.

The 2 NC centre backs are absolutely terrified of anything physical, both want an easy comfortable game and don't want to put their foot in.

Stead so far has looked like a baby giraffe trying to control a football.

 

[Pliny Harris]

As good in attack as they are in defence and Salford would have a couple by now.

 

[rudebwoyben]

McLeod is again showing that unless he scores he contributes absolutely nothing to the team.
I know that Alan Smith has been selected, I don't think he's done anything apart from one tackle. There's a big hole where County's central midfield ought to be.
Salford really should be winning this one but County can't be this bad in the 2nd half and Salford surely can't be any better than this.

 

[rudebwoyben]

Well, well, well....

 

[Flaxman's Alibi]

Notts have been astoundingly bad.... Genuinely gobsmacked by such a non performance.

 

[BeesKnees]

Even when given an open goal they've screwed up. Notts County deserve nothing from this game based on the performance
