2017/18 FA Trophy

The Trophy is pretty much the only thing we've got left to play for this season so I hope we go all out today. Get dumped out of this and I'll have to start feigning some enthusiasm for the Cheshire Senior Cup.

I hope you get past Brackley. A chance at Wembley is the least you lot deserve after the past decade. Then again I’d sacrifice my second born child if it meant both of us lost and Wealdstone won.

 

[E10rifle]

1 up with a screamer from Koroma. We have been all over them, to be fair. They are as unutterably appalling as they were in the league game (which they won 2-0 - miss you Steve Davis x).

Billericay 1 Wealdstone 4

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

How.

 

[Vanni]

Well done Wealdstone!

 

[The Terminator]

Thats twice now in this cup we've been very dominate for 70mins and been worth our 3-0 lead and twice we've shown some unforgiveable lazyness to allow two poor teams on the day a way back into the game. Only today Gateshead didn't let us off the hook like Dover did, they deserve some credit though because at 3-0 Watson made a double sub, changed formation and went for it.

All of our games in this competition we've been very, very lazy in. We will pay for that Tuesday when we lose the replay, if it goes ahead.

Very happy to see Billericay and that moron Tamplin go out, well done Wealdstone. Don't care who wins this now.

 

[Leewilson]

Tamplin has sacked himself and made himself assistant manager now. What a knob.

 

[Aberstone]

What a day!

Billericay were woeful and I well and truly mean woeful defensively. Continually playing the high line which we exposed to great effect for the first goal. Bradley Bubb will go down in Wealdstone folklore for bagging a hat-trick on his debut, the third goal in particular just oozing class. We just wanted it more than Billericay, outfought them on the pitch and outsang them on the terraces.

The highlight of the day though was Glenn Tamplin giving us all the wanker sign when they equalised only for us to re-take the lead a couple of minutes later. I took great joy in giving it back to him.

Don't care who we get in the semis (even if it's Brackley) - up the Stones!

Well played UP THE STONES! This result has brightened an otherwise pretty awful day.

Tamplin is a w****r.

 

[Raymondo316]

I heard it kicked off before the game, something about Wealdstone fans charging at the ricay lot??

 

[DarkSithLord]

Feel for Bromley fans. After away ties at Blyth and Workington they now face a Tuesday night trek to Spennymoor! Respect to any Bromley fans who attended all threw games!

Happened about 5 minutes after I was in the bar. We had a few Chelsea and Watford fans in our ranks today and they had some West Ham fans around so probably a case of supporters who don't follow each team week in, week out having a scrap.

 

[Super_horns]

Good one Stones - will be a few Watford fans following them I am sure.

 

[E10rifle]

The actual fuck.

Oi!

 

[Glenn Tamplin]

My lionz wer brave 2day. Buck falls 2 the manger in the end.

Zero chance of that game being played. They can't get a match on in daylight.

 

[Pink Panther]

Surely the term should be "resigned", but obviously that doesn't sound as dramatic as sacking yourself.

 

[The Terminator]

Seeing as I doubt our replay will go ahead on Tuesday, can someone confirm to me that they'll just rearranged it for next Tuesday instead? Meaning our game with Hartlepool which is already arranged for that Tuesday will get moved? I'm fairly sure the trophy takes priority................

Many Thanks.

 

[doveranddover]

Gateshead have already called off tomorrow's replay
Shame that, was hoping Orient go to extra time & pens to knacker them before coming to us Saturday

 

[slaphead]

Yep gone, and Gateshead have announced it will be played next Tuesday when our re-arranged game against them will be re-arranged.

 

[doveranddover]

SF draw
Stockport County or Brackley Town v Wealdstone
Bromley or Spennymoor Town v Leyton Orient or Gateshead

 

[AnimoEtFide]

FA clearly fixing the draw to keep us and Orient apart until the final. Shame we won't be in it after tomorrow night.

 

[The Terminator]

A big oppotunity for Stockport, Wealdstone and Brackley to make the final.

After our collapse and subsequent re-scheduling of our replay for next week, I completely forgot about the draw. If by some miracle we win, we are going to have a major fixture pile up for the rest of the season, we may even have to play twice in a week if Dover is called off this weekend.

I don't give a shit anymore, if Gateshead or Bromley don't beat us we'd lose in the final anyway.

 

[doveranddover]

Unlikely Saturday at Dover will be called off.

 

[doveranddover]

Spennymoor v Bromley P-P

 

[AnimoEtFide]

FA clearly fixing the draw to keep us and Orient apart until the final. Shame we won't be in it after tomorrow night.

My pessimism was wholly unfounded. It turns out we will still be in it after tonight.

 

[The Terminator]

After last weeks freeze out, we will all try again tomorrow.

I am still passed giving a shit now, even if we win this, I'll only have to suffer watching either Bromley or Spennymoor celebrating on our pitch after beating us, or worse yet - watching us lose our 4th final in a row at Wembley.

We will probably throw away another lead and go out on penalties with David Mooney missing the decisive sport kick.

 

[DarkSithLord]

Spennymoor v Bromley just called off around an hour from kick off. Ridiculously late postpoment for such a long midweek journey. Agree with Harrier 94 in that the National League need to be stepping in now.
