FA Cup Round 1

[MrGloverLover]

Our season goes from unbelievable to ridiculous.

What was with your home kit today?

Also, having watched soccer Saturday, I don't think anything about the manner of Hartlepool's progression to the second round could be described as quiet.

In the last few years we've always had a one off Poppy appeal kit where the tops get auctioned off for charity , normally we are away and has gone unnoticed by you lot....This year's kit has got a massive thumbs up and people are already asking the club to put them on general sale

Oxford proceeding towards their easy victory.

 

[StagsForLife]

What was that about Braintree away being a piss easy tie?

 

[JJH]

Bristol Rovers - the gift that just keeps on giving!

 

[Urban]

Bristol Rovers... Hahahaha!

Come on though Maidstone ffs, had £50 on them to win this. How can they not score against a 9-man Yeovil side...

 

[MrGloverLover]

Football. Bloody hell.

No idea how we won that.

 

[Gassy]

I don't understand why we are so bad at home. I'm absolutely disgusted with us.

Clarke needs to f*cking sort it out because this is a shambles

 

[Beee]

Maidstone's strikers ought to hang their heads in shame after that. 50 minutes against 10 men and 35 minutes against 9 men and no goals.

 

[shoddycollins]

Suddenly I want Stourbridge in the next round.

Karl Hawley!!!!

 

[mowgli]

Phew that was close!

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Got to admire how we rested our best players today. Now the first team will be fresher for the replay.

 

[Gashead]

So so bad. Ignore the 'poor home form' crap, we were poor and Chesham players bad the game of their lives. Kudos to them, their desire for 90 minutes was brilliant.

Why not just play them anyway to avoid the inconvenience of an extra match?

That's an idea, why didn't we think of it?

 

[Gashead]

Why not just play them anyway to avoid the inconvenience of an extra match?

We've got an even better idea. Play your strongest XI and lose to a 7th tier time at home! Genius!

 

[Pliny Harris]

Today was a mere demonstration of our powers.

 

[Vanni]

Couldn't have turned out better for Oxford, in fact I'm thinking it was all pre-planned. Not everyone gets the chance to play Braintree at home you know, and it's safe to say they will now be in a position to afford signing a couple of decent players in January, should they feel the need to.

Haha bullshit, just a standard deluded poster you.

 

[B2TF]

We were robbed.

So were we. I want my money back.

Sometimes you wonder if teams like Oxford go into these sorts of games playing for the draw because they want to earn a lucrative replay.

 

[ThisTinpotLeague]

Haha bullshit, just a standard deluded poster you.

Hand-on-heart I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

It's like our draw at Braintree - not really a struggle that anyone could have predicted to be honest.

Football eh, it's why we bloody love it.

Well that's the magic of the FA Cup... just when you expect the game to be a formality, Oxford play their hearts out and rewrite the script.

 

[Grecian O'Grecian]

A competent L2 team would go there and win. Certainly harder draws in the 2nd round (if we get there)

I take you boys are not very competent?

I think I could have, Braintree is a difficult place to go. Like Altrincham, they specialise in beating the 'big sides' that visit.

Chesham on the other hand don't quite have the same reputation.

 

[Gashead]

I take you boys are not very competent?

Not at all today!

We couldn't leave Notts all on their own in 'most embarrassing FL side' competition.

 

[jacobncfc]

At least we had the excuse of playing on their tinpot ground. You lose the FA Cup.

 

[Ciderup]

Well done Chesham. That's one giant killing you avoided.
