McKirdys pass for Simpsons goal was beautiful.He gas been making those runs all season and it looks like we are starting to release him quicker now which is great.

Great to see McKirdy getting involved in linking up with him tpoo which really does bode well for games at home

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Fantastic little chip over the defender

Anyone know how many we took in the end? Was difficult for me to judge from the far side - I would guess about 600 or 700. Great vocal support throughout in any case.

653.

I see McKirdy is carrying on winding up Crewe fans on Twitter!

I didn’t get to hear 100% of the commentary yesterday but from what I Garnered we were in control of the game mostly and although we had 69% of possession we never looked in danger of losing to a team in a higher division and by a clear three goals with none conceded. If that does not speak volumes about where we are, what we have and what we can achieve then I don’t know what will.

Simpson looked like a fuel injected, turbo charged steam roller scoring his goal. That boy has huge potential going forward. What is more that will NOT go unnoticed by other higher division clubs looking to place up and coming players with us going forward, his parent club must be chuffed shitless with his progress. If he doesn’t go back in January and is contracted to them next season it could be doubtful he’ll come back, unless there is a monumental shift in our financial state to buy him, Ipswiches desire to let him go and Tyreeces desire to move from Ipswich to us. Oh how we have moved on from the Dark days of late summer.

WRT the FA Cup, we have a golden opportunity to make a killing financially if the next round draw falls favourably and think of the things we could do with say £250k + in the till instead of the habitual £50k ish inc attendance money.

The road to Wembley 

We're going to batter them.

Crewe 0-3 att: 4,277 (653 of us)

Bollocks, I should have done the lottery

 Apart from the 4,277 bit. Only just over 2000. Pathetic number that.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Bradford only had 3300ish which was pathetic

Bradford only had 3300ish which was pathetic

Maybe it is because the tight wad Yorkshire folk couldn’t stomach paying a tenner.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

P**s poor when they get 16000+ for home games

[The Artist Formerly Known as Audrey]

3 minutes of highlights up on iFollow. I’m sure they said there would be extended highlights, too.

[Matchworn Shirts]

The magic of the FA Cup; 'supporters' of clubs stream out of the woodwork when a big game comes along and the media wank themselves silly over how well supported it is, without mentioning the pathetic attendances in the early rounds

[Jimmy HaveHave]

Spot on

Not sure why Iandalo's goal was disallowed ,on the radio they said he was off the pitch and came back
and was offside I have frozen the video and he was was not completely  off the pitch ,he had his foot on the line and  Crewe had players on the goal line
