The big fat FA cup thread - B team free zone

[pontoonlew]

Well we spent 45 mins yesterday absolutely hammering Bolton only to be met by a keeper in world class form.

A good day out, probably the best away noise I've experienced following Grimsby which says a lot.

 

[shoddycollins]

Just seen our starting line up. We're certainly not fucking about.

 

[shoddycollins]

Also, well done to the Blackpool fans who are donating what Kidderminster would have earned in gates had they attended the game straight to Kidderminster

 

[shoddycollins]

Fuck sake

 

[cufc17]

1-0 down...

 

[hellogregory]

Is this where our season all unravels?

As long as we bounce back at Newport, that is the main thing.

 

[shoddycollins]

St Albans have a sloping pitch. Wouldn't be the FA cup first round without the phrase 'Carlisle are playing downhill in the first half'

 

[cufc17]

Cracking strike to be fair.

 

[hellogregory]

Sounds like we're clinging on for dear life here. Fuck me! I'm glad I didn't go, what an embarrassment

 

[hellogregory]

1-1 Grainger

 

[shoddycollins]

Notts County playing the 'Notts County' role expertly so far. Showing the rest of us just how you lose to non-league opposition.

 

[cufc17]

Yesssss

 

[shoddycollins]

Balls!

 

[hellogregory]

Utter shite. Let's just get out of this with a draw, put it down as a bad day and start again in a replay.

Long way to go yet though, we could easily go out here by the sounds of things.

 

[shoddycollins]

Jabooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

 

[cufc17]

Get in Jabo!!!!

 

[hellogregory]

Done

Now let's go home, forget about Wednesday's match and look to Saturday

 

[cufc17]

Never in doubt..

 

[hellogregory]

Harsh on St Albans by the sounds of it but relief on our side because we've made hard work of it

 

[hellogregory]

We've conceded 3 fucking goals. Just sums up how utterly shite we've been today.

A game to forget

 

[cufc17]

I'm not too bothered about the performance, just glad we've progressed to Round Two. Hope we get a decent draw.

 

[Vanni]

Jesus. What is about Carlisle always drawing the crap sides in the Fa Cup while we always get the decent ones like Dover and Basingstoke? I reckon it's about time the FA introduces some sort of seeding.

 

[Vanni]

Miller really didn't look like he was cut out for League Two level when he was with us tbh, obviously quality at Conference level. Limited opportunities in a team that didn't create a lot of chances in fairness, so perhaps in another team he could make the step up.

Can't imagine the way he left us encouraging too many clubs to take a punt however.

Care to jog my memory Judge? My memory's not the best when it comes to those dark Conference days, but I think this is only natural

 

[LongEatonPie]

Slight scare at Boreham Wood, losing 2-0 to pull it back to 2-2 and almost grabbed a 89th minute winner but was ruled offside.
Wood should have had it wrapped up before we got our first though.
Better that there was no repeat of last season

 

[That Fat Centre Half]

Care to jog my memory Judge? My memory's not the best when it comes to those dark Conference days, but I think this is only natural

We sacked him after he was accused of assaulting, and I believe racially abusing, a taxi driver on the night of our end of season awards. He was found not guilty at trial though.

 

[shoddycollins]

We've conceded 3 fucking goals. Just sums up how utterly shite we've been today.

A game to forget

Nah, was an FA Cup classic, I wouldn't be too bothered about the finesse (or lack of) in our performance.

 

[shoddycollins]

Leyton Orient looked like an utter mess.

 

[Moomin]

Yep, Wheeler should have gone after seeing the highlights.

Both pens were soft but we're so susceptible to the ball over the top. We'd have to score 4 at home to have serious chance of winning. Embarrassing.

 

[Chief Rocka]

Job done, another bum team in round two please.

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

Leyton Orient looked like an utter mess.

*look.
