FA Cup

[Ringwood]

What really is the point of live tv of Liverpool v Accrington and Man City v Salford ?

Prem kids v sides with little or no hope of winning

Palace v Stockport could be the magical upset.. oh and us

Leeds v Harrogate is a good watch on BBC red button

Agree with this. If both away sides had been at home it would have added a bit of jeopardy. The TV choices for the third round have been odd to say the least.

Just switched it over and Leeds score

So what’s the deal with the FA cup these days - Is it extra time and pens or a replay?

Seems it is whatever the big clubs choose.

I think they have done away with replays now, and basically everything else that once made the FA Cup worth watching...

Aye, screw the smaller clubs that keep afloat due to the glamour ties of the FA Cup.

It's hardly surprising it is up there with the league cup these days.

Yep, you’re right.
So a boring 0-0 draw tomorrow after 120 minutes and someone wins 1-0 on penalties after each team has taken 20 penalties each.

I’d better wear me longjohns

Do FA Cup fifth round games go to extra-time and penalties or a replay?

The FA Cup returns this weekend...

It lost any appeal it had a long time ago for me, looking for anything else to do other than watch us on the gogglebox tomorrow to be honest.

Absolutely, even Pepe looked embarrassed in his post match interview. Shocking

I still love the FA Cup and the crowds this weekend so far have been pretty good. But I still don’t understand why the two big terrestrial TV channels, both of which hardly ever get live football outside of the World Cup and the euros, decided that Liverpool v Accrington Stanley and Man City v Salford would set the nation’s pulses racing.

Watched Bournemouth and Brighton destroying championship teams. West Brom and Norwich looked like league 2 teams up against them. The pace and power premier league teams have these days is frightening. Bournemouth went from one end of the field to the other to score one goal. Can you imagine us breaking out from defence? Would have got to half way and slowed it down , looking for a sideways or backwards pass to Grimes.

Duff’s team and set-up did just that - esp vs Plymouth.
Duff played to our strengths not weaknesses.
Matty played his natural best under Duff, as did Key et al….

A Duff type was the perfect antidote to bonkers Martinwangball.

We need a similarly new, new reset from bonkers Willywangball, ‘prompto’…..
