FA Cup Thread

[Boletus Edulis]

Why would someone nick the corner flag?

 

[PuB]

Bolton have been utter shit, even when they were 2-0 and 3-1 up.

Those four FA Cups previously, though, bless.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Thank you BBC, my license fee was well spent tonight

Bolton were terrible. The longer the game went on the worse they got. The young lad Thomason was dominated in midfield.

 

[Si Robin]

Seems the ref told them the wrong rules!

Said they could make 6 or an extra one in half time rather than just 5.

Interestingly, at half-time last night our PA guy was reading out the permutations and said that should the game reach extra-time then each team will have one additional sub.

Seems the rule on subs hasn’t been made clear.

 

[Indian Dan]

At least Bolton can now concentrate on not getting relegated

 

[Si Robin]

Relegated? They're the best team in the League. Ian Evatt said so.

 

[Millerbri]

Watching that game I would have been a lot happier playing Bolton, Stockport were relentless.

Either team would have sold out our away end so we are on a hiding to nothing playing Stockport, especially as our FA cup record is appalling.

We definitely won't be able to make too many changes if we don't want to be embarassed, Stockport looked really competitive even if their defence looks shaky.

We used to have some good games against Stockport, I'm looking forward to this one.

Hopefully playing a National League side will convince a few more home supporters to turn up than would have been the case playing Bolton.
Also hoping that they keep the prices pegged to a tenner but not convinced we will.

 

[Millerbri]

Prices have gone up from last round.

Adult: £18 (£20)

Concessions: £10 (£12)

Juvenile (13-17): £4 (£6)

Junior U13: £2 (£2)

ATM not all home blocks are avilable including my seat grrrr

 

[DearneValleyRover]

Kudos to both our and Mansfield’s board, it’s £10 for adults, £5 concessions and a quid a kid, probably still get less than 10k though

 

[Luke Imp]

Bolton surprisingly poor last night, at no point did they have control of the game despite scoring three. Fair play to Stockport, they were pretty relentless after their shambolic start but Bolton should have been able to get at their defence more than they did, they were pretty sloppy in that respect.

What a nob

 

[Boletus Edulis]

What a nob

I just assumed it was a photoshopped faked story that someone made up. If he really did say that, your response is a huge understatement - he's a lot worse than that.

Isn't Bumble still remembered for the very unwise "We flipping murdered them!" comment against Zimbabwe in the cricket World Cup?

The Graham Westley comparisons grow more uncanny by the week.

 

[SMH]

Us spanking them at their place has absolutely ruined them mentally. The supporters of every side they play now sing Bolton get battered I'm certain that has had a psychological effect on their fairly young squad. The manager is obviously a knobhead as well and Sarcevic's celebrations last night prove it.

And for whatever reason behind the scenes Home Park was the venue of where the schism became a chasm.

Did he really say that? WOW

Did he really say that? WOW

I don’t think so.

This is on the BBC.

Loss at Stockport 'hurt' Bolton - Evatt

Bolton boss Ian Evatt says their FA Cup first-round replay defeat by Stockport was the worst they have played in his time with the club.

Made up by Wigan fans I believe (hence the #wafc).

Still, you could believe him saying something like that.

Yeah, it fooled me, he's really that tapped.

 

[Imp in Branston]

I thought Bolton had some world class players, or were the team that everyone should fear on their march into the Championship and beyond? I am sure someone on here said so anyway?

Maybe they can only do that to the likes of League One teams instead of struggling against NL ones?

Well played Stockport, anyone watching that and not knowing the disparity would think that Notlob were the non leaguers.

Our 2nd round tie confirmed for Saturday 4th December @ 4pm. Very surprised considering approx 250,000 people will be visiting for the Christmas market over that weekend. Hartlepool fans have got no chance of finding anywhere to stay!!

Says 3pm on our end? we've been given 1,000 tickets at a tenner a head.

Apologies i meant 3pm! That should be your initial allocation. You'll get the full away end.

No idea what sort of gate we'll get. Luckily i can walk (40 minutes) to the game but for anyone driving in, reckon there will be a lot put off. Then again, people may combine the two, football and Xmas market. Who knows!

 

[Luke Imp]

Surprised at that. Not sure how we're supposed to get to SB when they close all the roads leading into Lincoln. Suspect a fair chunk of locals will stay away and not bother trying.

[Luke Imp]

It's not the walking, it's the lack of any parking outside of where they close the roads! Mind you, I don't fancy walking the 7 miles to SB tbf.

EDIT - I'm saying all this, but they must have come to some sort of agreement with Lincolnshire County Council and Lincolnshire Police on road closures.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Do they still shift games for 'extended coverage' on BBC to Sunday?

Would hate to buy train tickets and get bent over a barrel.
