FA Cup 1st Round

[Mark kavanagh]

From what i understand about the ' liberals' that support whitehawk whether its us or lincoln that get through if you see a quid on the floor down there dont bend down to pick it up......... Sorry couldnt resist

 

[Si Robin]

Not a bad draw, yes it's miles away against a team from a higher division, but it's completely winnable.

Assuming we get past Havant tonight of course.

 

[EnglishRed]

Can anyone explain what a Whitehawk is and it's relevance to football please.

They've got no fans!...They've got no ground...

 

[EnglishRed]

NWP would have only bubbled a game against the Slops anyway.

Make sure you can resist in the future, now that's out of your system.

 

[ArmchairDiehard]

Some tasty TV games in that draw.

Salford vs. Notts County is nailed on

 

[Son of Cod]

Tranmere fans have been doing the same...

Okay, I'll paraphrase. Trust Lincoln fans to be whinging about the chance of a trip down to a new ground in one of the best cities in the country. Any excuse not to travel! I don't get this mentality of tossing away your FA Cup campaign because you have a tricky looking banana skin at a side lower down. It's a way more interesting tie than Notts County or York away (as someone stated as their preference earlier), in my opinion.

Make sure you can resist in the future, now that's out of your system.

Beat me to it. At least now we know who voted yes in the 'Does it bother you if someone is gay' thread.

 

[GodsGift]

I don't think any of us are seriously suggesting we want to lose tonight...

 

[Mark kavanagh]

I see the politically correct brigade cannot handle satire

 

[Son of Cod]

I see you don't know the difference between satire and homophobia...

 

[Mark kavanagh]

Making a joke does not make you a homophobe! Isnt it strange how my gay mates would laugh and call me an idiot whilst the self appointed bearers of standards who take offence on behalf of others claim mock outrage to try to convince the world that they are nice people.....its a strange world we live in

 

[GodsGift]

I've changed my mind now, I hope we smash those homophobic Scouse bastards tonight. Bring on the Hawks!

No one is outraged, I think we've all heard these tiresome jokes before. I imagine a lot of posters just think you're an idiot.

Bit out of order calling him a "homophobic Scouse bastard".

He's not Scouse, he's from Tranmere.

 

[Ian Richardson]

Only Lincoln fans would whinge about the chance for a trip down to a new ground in one of the best cities in the country.

Wanted anyone at home for us, so fairly satisfied with St. Albans away. They're struggling this season, so it's a very good chance of getting into the 2nd round. Any National League Southers seen St. Albans this season?

St Albans is a great day/night out. Pubs everywhere

 

[mnb089mnb]

St Albans is a great day/night out. Pubs everywhere

It's a really nice old fashioned non-league ground too, situated in the middle of a park. Well worth a visit.

I've not been to Whitehawk but I've not heard many good reviews of the place ....

 

[rudebwoyben]

St Albans is a lovely place to visit and the ground itself is a treasure, a shame that the famous tree at one end of the ground is no longer there. However, Grimsby have been drawn at home to St Albans!
I think Mark doesn't actually know the meaning of the word satire there..

 

[Oxcityhoop]

Best of luck to Didcot Town, local rivals to us, but have 6 of our ex players, they got a good draw at home against Exeter City. Could be on Tv that one?

 

[Silver Stone]

Yeovil at home. I quite fancy our chances there.

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Not to tempt fate or anything, but as far as I am aware we have never lost to non league opposition in the FA Cup..

Oh well, forget the football and spend an afternoon in St. Albans instead.

Well, now we've got to get to the 2nd round to keep that record alive. Also, when was the last time we WERE the non-league opposition? (Apart from Saturday, obviously).

According to @FACupFactFile on Twitter (Great account BTW) The last time Tranmere were in the qualifying rounds of the FA Cup was 91 years ago.

Coventry sporting in the 70s mate

Nope, sorry, you're wrong.

And no, I don't want to lose tonight, but I'm not going to shed tears if we do. Slight difference love but let's not let that get in the way of your comments, which I found quite cute by the way.

Ah, you've got gay friends? You should have said that earlier and none of us would have pulled you up on it. Apologies mate.

Nope, sorry, you're wrong.

What am I wrong about? Are you lot, or are you lot not whinging about getting Whitehawk away? Thanks for the love/cute comments, by the way. I used to use that exact combo on forums when I was about 14 years old, too.

 

[yellow]

Can't wait for our game!!

 

[Back in the DHSS]

Like my nights out in Brighton, so Whitehawk is not a bad draw. Not that Tranmere will get past Lincoln in tonight's replay anyhow.
I notice Whitehawk have got Brightons old seating from the Withdean, looks like an accident waiting to happen and am surprised they've got a safety certificate for it!

The Enclosed Ground only holds 2000 ,so not many away tickets will be given.

Think home teams in the FA cup are obliged to give away fans a minimum 15% of the ground capacity, should be enough for Lincoln!
