FA Trophy 2015-16

[JaredSUFC]

Dream tie of Merthyr away is still on after their game away at Hastings was abandoned

 

[DarkSithLord]

My belief that the FA don't like us gets stronger by the draw.

You would never guess? Yep away AGAIN oh and look at a Conference North Club again in Nuneaton.

Thank you Kindly FA you tossers.

Where you reffed out of the Conference?

 

[DarkSithLord]

Where you reffed out of the Conference?

No. We were relegated because we were shit.
However I firmly believe in 2013/14 when we spent several months in the top 4 there were a number of occasions where suspect ref decisions went against us. Most Noticeably when we Drew 2-2 at home to Welling. Akinde scored a perfect goal in added time but it was chalked off for not going over the line when the then Welling player manager Jamie Day was the player on the line and after the final whistle he even admitted it was a perfectly good goal

Going home by ark: a half match report featuring Hastings Utd, Merthyr Town, and the FA Trophy. I had a number of words left after I'd written the report for the NLP, so I've put them all together here.

Probably just selection bias. You pay more attention to the decisions that go against you than the ones that go for you. Add that to the standard fan bias where you believe individual decisions should mostly be in your favour to some extent (almost all fans, myself included, do this), and maybe a bad patch sticks out as a "conspiracy". A good patch either doesn't stand out (because it is less distinct from your views on decisions), or stands out as "making up" for a bad spell.

 

[Aberstone]

Met Police away. Welp.

 

[Crewelad87]

Nantwich away at Stockport. Decent tie.

 

[Tilbury]

Tough tie but we're unbeaten in 14 games (11 wins) and are usually pretty difficult to beat at home so there's some chance.

 

[Paddy]

Met Police away. Welp.

Don't worry. At least the gate receipts will be split.

Having dispatched Dorchester last night we have a home game with Truro, which is a kick in the nuts as it would have been nice to go away to Truro (& not as a midweek replay)

 

[JaredSUFC]

Met Police away. Welp.

I see your Met Police away and raise you Concord away. Oh, and we're there a week later in the league

 

[Joe.]

Molesey at home. Have I even spelt that right?

Won't take them lightly. Doing alright in their league after being promoted apparently. Not sure I fancy paying £11 to watch it, but probably will if I'm off.

Would have preferred it away.

[Joe.]

Bognor, Lowestoft or Merthyr (if they win) away please.

Having said that, it'll probably be Maidstone at home or some other shit tie.

 

[Raymondo316]

Is the next round definitely regionalized?? Cos i remember us having to play Halifax away in the trophy a couple of weeks before x-mas in 2012

 

[Aberstone]

I'd be content with one of the 3 Gloucestershire clubs away.

Yes mate. 2nd round it goes national.

 

[Harrier94]

Anybody but Bradford Park Avenue

 

[CrazyImp]

If we get a piss easy run to the Semis then I'm not going to say no, but this competition isn't high on our list of priorities this season.

 

[The_Boss]

Yeah same for me, though with a small squad we don't have the option of too much rotation so i'd like the players that do play to take it seriously for as long as we're in. It's the 20 year anniversary of our last Trophy win come May, so would be nice to lift it again, but would rather a play off berth.

So Alty at home please!

 

[Harrier94]

Stourbridge away.....no.....please....not again

 

[The_Boss]

We're at home to Gainsborough or Ashton Utd. Full Draw here...

Fascinating fixtures there!

We would have been AWAY YET AGAIN. Ridiculous.

 

[Aberstone]

Away at Weston, guess who we're playing in the league on Saturday....

Works for me though, I'm missing the league game at their place in February (due to a wedding) so it gives me a chance to tick a new ground off.

 

[White Army]

Wrexham at home and suddenly the Fa trophy becomes interesting.

 

[CrazyImp]

Meh, should be pretty straightforward. Don't think Moyses will allow us to lose matches like this again after the Whitehawk fiasco.

 

[Semi-skimmed Silk]

At home to a team from a lower league, we might actually score our first trophy goal since we won it!

 

[Chris FGR]

We would have been AWAY YET AGAIN. Ridiculous.

Tell me about it. We've been drawn away in all our cup ties so far this season, 3 in the FA Cup and now this. Can see us resting players and going out early for the 7th year in a row.

Yes but has all your home games landed on Cup dates and been called off like ours?

This saturday's trip to Lowestoft will be the 9th Saturday out of the last 10 we will have played away from home. Ridiculous.
