Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: janaage on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 16:49:05 forest 3-0 man city and its not over yet Colin must be pretty pissed off, he's not having the best of times at the minute. He didn't do too badly in December and to be sacked via a phone call from the Chairman in sunny barbados is pretty poor. Billy Davies should be in for a good second half of the season.

Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 17:07:51 More than likely, yes.
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Iffy's Onion Bhaji on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 17:08:54 They can play the replay a week after actually but probably won't. Must admit it was a bit silly arranging the fixture for the 13th with Millwall still in the cup.
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Samdy Gray on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 17:10:29 Isn't it in the rules of the cup that if it goes to a replay then it gets played 10 days later by default? In which case, it'll be the 13th meaning our game will be re-arranged again.
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Hexagon on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 17:13:07 Didn't they say there was another date arranged if Millwall went to a replay.
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Hexagon on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 17:15:11 In fact it will now be played on Tuesday 17th February.

Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Bedford Red on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:34:22 Hartlepool 2-0 Stoke. Think that's a result as well. It is. We were due to play Hartlepool at home on FA Cup 4th Rd day so that will be another postponment, at least it will be a midweek re-arranged game at home rather than away. Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Bennett on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 18:34:37 what's the score in HD? does it highlight keane's inability to hit a cows arse with a banjo?

Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Bennett on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 19:18:04 i think preston were hard done by in that instance, parkin was raped on that freekick...amazing how the linesman didn't see him being wrestled to the ground by carragher but did see him put two hands on carraghers legs to stop him getting up...
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 19:19:16 Thanks gerrard
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: pumbaa on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 21:18:13 On a side note, thought Deepdale looked a tidy stadium from the TV pictures (not having been there myself like) and the sort of ground we should be looking to develop the CG into idc. Sounded a reasonable atmosphere (if you count booing Gerrard as atmosphere) from the old goggle box.

Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Lumps on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 23:10:18 I told you all back in June when he was signed that Keane was a waste of bloody money. £30m FFS!
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Don Rogers Shop on Saturday, January 3, 2009, 23:14:15 20m and they are top of the league with him out. His movement and awareness is 2nd to none. If they win the league then money well spent. Keane will end up scoring goals

Sounded a reasonable atmosphere (if you count booing Gerrard as atmosphere) from the old goggle box. I think Preston must now be the proper club, who we've not had a game against for the longest time...must go back to 85/86. Then we played them in Div 4 and they were just about the worst team I'd ever seen...had the present system been in place they'd have fallen into non league. In fact we've only had 4 fixtures in the last 30+ years. Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 11:10:41 I went up to the game at Deepdale when we stuffed them 3-0 the day after my 20th birthday, they were dire the ground was appalling in those days, all wood and rotten, poor fans too with no vocal support.....times have changed a lot.
Charley Henry ran then ragged that day. Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: adje on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 12:30:40 Surelythese kind of results now happen so often,they can no longer be described as "shocks".Now if every higher placed side were to beat their lower placed counterparts-that would be a shock

It always makes me laugh how Gillingham's tribute to Brian Moore is a stand made out of scaffolding. Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Nemo on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 13:34:01 Their tribute to Cascarino is a food shop :D
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: DiV on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 13:46:34 Reg, I looked that up. I reckon Preston must be one of the few teams I have never seen Swindon play.

I know the level is shit but he did score a bloody cracker last week against Wycombe, a real beauty. I think he has found his level though. Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: leefer on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 14:14:43 I went up to the game at Deepdale when we stuffed them 3-0 the day after my 20th birthday, they were dire the ground was appalling in those days, all wood and rotten, poor fans too with no vocal support.....times have changed a lot. Charley Henry ran then ragged that day. Reminds of a season we played at Blackpool..they had an old wooden away stand behind the now vacant goal....think we drew 1-1 but remember thinking Blackpool were in a dire mess at the time. Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 14:16:39 We always seem to draw 1-1 away at Blackpoo..but I think the time you are thinking of was the Bank Holiday game under Muckmarn, we took loads up there and the place looked like a building site.
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: leefer on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 14:21:20 Not sure...i know i was behind the goal,a fair way from the pitch,not in the away side they have now...apologies about the quote!
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 14:23:47 I miss the old shit grounds a bit, these new grounds all look good but the atmosphere seems to be worse in virtually all of them, give me a tight crappy ground, with some cover to make it sound louder and a bit of banter with the natives!
Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: leefer on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 14:27:02 Walsall away used to be good under cover in the corner,Aldershot also,even Colchester on the old floorboards on a Friday night always seemed atmospheric.

You are obviously a fair bit older than myself! Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Crozzer on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 15:24:52 You are obviously a fair bit older than myself! True, I'm afraid, Bert Head was manager when I started following the Town. First real memory was Don Rogers destroying West Ham in the F.A. Cup with Moore, Peters and Hurst in the team. John Trollope didn't get enough credit playing in the same team as Don. Those two almost had ESP. It's a great pity that most of Don's goals are not available in video. You used to see the alleged goal of the season and laugh, Don used to score incredible goals every three or four games. Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: DiV on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 15:32:15 Sadly I just caught the end of the mid 80 early 90s gravy train and all the downhillness since.
Although I can I've seen us play in every division and I must have seen us play nearly every single league team. Alot of L1 teams on other forums like to take the piss out of us for our one season in the premiership but its better than to have got their once and been shit then to have never got there at all! I do think its ruined our expectations a bit though because dont we all think deep down somewhere, right at the back of our minds it could happen again? Better than being a Cheltenham or a Yeovil where mid table L1 is what they strive, wish and hope to be I suppose Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: tans on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 15:32:55 liverpool v everton

Kettering v Fulham could be interesting. Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Crozzer on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 15:46:48 the draws are so shit when your not in them! Couldn't agree more. Title: Re: fa cup shocks Post by: Rich Pullen on Sunday, January 4, 2009, 20:06:29 Derby v Forest is juicy. That's the fixture of the round in my opinion.

In fact we've only had 4 fixtures in the last 30+ years. I had a look up at the records and back in 1975 we played them twice in the league within the space of 3 days.We won 1 - 0 at the CG with the great Peter Eastoe scoring and lost 2 - 0 at Deepdale 3 days later.I can't remember ever playing the same team in successive league games, but i suppose it was done so in the past,many moons ago?
