FA Cup 2018/19

[getoutofit]

Well if southport win the replay, they can make the trip to peterborough in the 3rd round instead.

And well done to woking for doing what we haven't been able to do in about 200 years...winning at swindon.

 

[Indian Dan]

Theres always swindon supermarine or whatever they are

I’m joining you in the sun - but Greece instead of Spain. Swindon Whatever can all fuck right off.

Lincoln v Grimsby 3rd round

Scunthorpe v Grimsby would be the big one...

Oh hang on a minute...

Only second time since 1998 we've qualified for this level (as opposed to automatically being there via second tier).

And importantly Kevin Clifton got safely through today as well...

 

[les.gtfc]

Like printing money was that today.

Bookies don't often get it wrong but they did today.

 

[Davidimp]

Is your 2nd goalscorer and Kevin related???

Are Kevin and Harry related?

You do understand Gy is not like Boston...

 

[Davidimp]

Seems I'm not the only one lol!!!

 

[Limerick Mariner]

Seems I'm not the only one lol!!!

Boston jokes aside, you and Les did cause me to check up on Harry's wiki (he is considered "one of our own") but in fact Harry Clifton was born in Hull!

Kevin is, of course, yellow-belly through and through, born in Grimsby, educated at Caistor Grammar and (although rumoured to support Scunthorpe [because of his dad] and Chelsea?!) he did wear a black and white striped shirt in an earlier round...

 

[hehhutm]

but in fact Harry Clifton was born in Hull!

He grew up in clee

 

[Richard Cranium]

What happened to Cards Fan??

Didn’t he lie about his age or something and then quit the forum? Not sure if I’ve made that up or not, Cards was a decent lad. Too many lost in the last year or so

Awesome draw for Tranmere and Lincoln. Congrats brothers.

Brothers?

 

[denzel ecfc]

Arsenal at home.
If we hadn't bottled it against Blackpool

 

[PaulHaddock]

Palace away is not a bad draw. We’ll a good following for sure.

How lucky do Lincoln get?

 

[UTS]

Arsenal at home.
If we hadn't bottled it against Blackpool

You’d have been a different draw number so don’t worry.

 

[Clarkey_GTFC]

I'll definitely take Palace after the shite draws we've had recently. Should be a great away day.

 

[Richard Cranium]

Some good ties for those still in it from L2!

 

[Laker]

Some good TV games there:

Tranmere or Southport v Spurs
Wrexham or Newport v Leicester
Solihull or Blackpool v Arsenal
Woking v Watford

There must be at least 20 ties more appealing than the Man U draw, surely they can’t be on this time.

 

[Chris FGR]

Arsenal at home.
If we hadn't bottled it against Blackpool

Would it have been the same ball no?

 

[Si Robin]

You’d have been a different draw number so don’t worry.

No they wouldn't have.

The draw numbers for round two are based on when the tie is drawn in the 1st round - for example if Bury v Cheltenham is drawn out first the winners are ball 1 in round 2.

For round 3 - the Prem and Champ teams are 1-44 in alphabetical order, then tie 1 of round 2 becomes ball 45, tie 2 ball 46, etc...

Ergo, Exeter would have been the same ball number in round 3 as the team that beat them in round 1.

They were the last time they played Reading at home in round 3 - two years ago I think it was.

Even more reason for them not to be on this time round. I’d rather watch Burnley v Barnsley!

 

[Tranmerewhite]

Harry Kane vs McNulty anyone?

 

[RLC]

Great draw. We have actually got quite a bit of history with Spurs in the cup. We are almost sister clubs.

Not quite, we have a stadium.

 

[Luke Imp]

That'll do!

You either want a money spinner or an 'easier' tie and the Everton one should be a good little earner for us.

Yeah you could really do with some more cash.......

 

[GTFCfish]

Looking forward to see who comes out on top in a foot race between Wilfried Zaha and Danny Collins.

 

[Son of Cod]

Not a great draw, but decent enough. It's kind of a bit disappointing that we'll probably go out and won't make too much off it. Not gonna grumble about an extra London away day though. Anyone got any idea about what our allocation will be?
