Match Day FA Kap Second Round Speciul

[Sparrow]

Christ, Danny Cowley is really far too good AND clever.

 

[Luke Imp]

When Rotherham were at the DVS, we went there for their first game there.

There was a food and drink area in what probably doubled up as a function room and you weren't allowed to take food into the stands...

 

[EnglishRed]

Well seeing as they are the worst team in the country, I'd say it's WINNABLE for anyone.

Thinking of Rotherham always reminds me of our 7-0 win in the mid 90s. Happy times *wipes away tear of nostalgia*

 

[chipmunx]

now 3-2
Lincoln doing a Curzon?

 

[Luke Imp]

Ffs. What's happened here?!

 

[Chris FGR]

Lincoln doing a Curzon.

 

[The_Boss]

Actually had forgotten they used to play at the don valley. I was out in Sheffield on an all dayer, mates had gone hillsborough and I got the tram over to DVS. Whilst I'd been on the tram the game got called off for frozen pitch, so I had nothing to do for 2 hours before meeting up again, apart from get bladdered on my own. Met everyone else back in The Crown, got chucked out for being a mess, played with traffic on the dual carriage way and ended up in taxi home, except I was too pissed to give any decent directions. Cost £120 by time I'd been on and off the M1, halfway over woodhead pass and back and then finally on the right way home.

I'm probs best not going if we get through.

 

[FGRJC]

I really hope Lincoln don't do a pitch invasion in the 2nd round.. Very tinpot

 

[chipmunx]

well done Lincoln - see you in round 4?

 

[The_Boss]

That game should not have been allowed to continue in such poor weather, shocking refereeing.

 

[Luke Imp]

well done Lincoln - see you in round 4?

Double up as the league game?

 

[chipmunx]

yep - that means it'll be at ours

 

[Chris FGR]

That game should not have been allowed to continue in such poor weather, shocking refereeing.

Still bitter about last week then?

 

[Super_horns]

So that is where Theo Robinson has got to...

Generally playing well for you Imps?

 

[rudebwoyben]

I see your review and others' on the match day guides rate it highly. What are the main factors in that for you? Are the pubs really that good?

rive
The main factor for me is that it's a proper football ground and there's a good choice of terracing and seating for home and away fans. I don't know about the pubs in each corner of the ground but there's some lovely drinking spots by the river near Kew Bridge too.

 

[rudebwoyben]

The fog at that Lincoln match though.. ! It was impossible to follow the match for the last 10 minutes.

 

[Luke Imp]

So that is where Theo Robinson has got to...

Generally playing well for you Imps?

Yeah, he's doing well after a quiet-ish start. Only on a short term deal until January I think.

Cleary has a footballing brain above this level, but rather weirdly his finishing has been a bit wayward at times and missed 3 or 4 easy chances. Can't recall how many he's on now. 7 or 8 maybe.

 

[Liam_SWFC]

Well done Lincoln, wouldn't call this an upset either as both clubs look like they are going in different directions at the minute, Oldham a total mess. Be quite surprised if this isn't a league fixture next season, not a bad draw away at Portman Road either.

 

[ForeverUnited]

Can't believe he is playing at this level, so so much potential as a young lad when he was with us and has done well since leaving us, really am surprised that he is playing non league football. Well done to Lincoln to making it to the third round, looked really good from what I saw of it.

 

[rudebwoyben]

That was like an FA Cup tie of old, with the excitement and anticipation that a tie between a lower division club at home against higher ranked opponents would bring. I have to say that the people of Lincoln responded magnificently coming out in the numbers they did, when they could have easily watched it in the warmth at home. People say that the FA Cup is dying, but the first couple of rounds this year and last year have produced so much excitement and drama (last night, Curzon Ashton vs AFC Wimbledon, Brackley vs Gillingham, Sutton vs Cheltenham to name a few).

 

[Davidimp]

Think the pricing helped £10 for adults, £5 concessions and £2 kids.

 

[Flaxman's Alibi]

Well done Imps, nice to see a good club finally coming out of the doldrums and enjoying a potentially successful season.

Despite our bit of a rivalry, I know that the vast majority of our fans want to see Lincoln City back in the league, with all the derbies and the banter. Enjoy your cup run.

 

[Blue Lion]

Some more cup fixtures tonight. 1 original tie and 2 replays involving non league teams

Halifax v Eastleigh (replay)
Oxford v Macclesfield (replay)
Stourbridge v Northampton

 

[The_Boss]

Very rare teams win a replay away after playing so well in the home game. Ah well, concentrate on the Trophy now.

 

[Blue Lion]

3-0 Oxford so far. Could kind of see this coming after we played so well in the 1st game

 

[DarkSithLord]

Stourbridge 1-0 Northampton

5 minutes to go. Cupset on.

 

[appletablepenny]

And done

 

[DarkSithLord]

Congrats to Stourbridge

Shame its only a trip to Wycombe in Round Three.

 

[The_Boss]

Mika Mandron added another zero to his value I see, Sunderland are going to have to dig deep to pluck him away from Eastleigh.

 

[Eastleigh Fan]

I think Newcastle will likely beat Sunderland to his signature.
9 goals in last 9 games.

Brentford away in the 3rd round.
Martin Allen back to a former club.
