FA Cup 19/20

[JJ1532]

Incredible how casual he sounds. Anyone would think they'd just come up short in a league game after a good run. They've been dumped out by an 8th tier side at home. Yet he sounds like he doesn't have a care in the world as he throws out lazy cliche after lazy cliche. Worryingly tone deaf.

 

[Boletus Edulis]

We lost to Dorchester in 2012 I think, when Conor Hourihane got sent off for taking a free kick too quickly!

 

[Chief Rocka]

I dunno what it is, but this fucker winds me up something rotten, so I dunno how Orient fans are feeling, it's like he's been media trained to death and is just knocking out buzzwords and doing a mental check list in his head of all the things to say after a defeat.

Just spent an enjoyable few minutes watching Maldon and Tiptree fans dancing on Orient's pitch after dumping them out of the FA Cup.

What goes around...........

 

[Attila the hun]

We played second fiddle to Gateshead all game Only thanks to our goalkeeper that we won a game we didn’t deserve to

Definitely not obsessed

Don't worry Eric, we enjoyed dancing on our own pitch after we dedicated winning the National League title to you back in April

Losing in such a way is only embarrassing if it defines your season. When we lost to Curzon Ashton it was ok (in the end) because we got promoted. When we lost to Warrington it wasn't as we did naff all that year.

Just glad we weren’t drawn against Maldon as we would have lost yesterday to them.

any side that had won 19 and drew one from their 20 games this season can’t be bad even if they play at Step 4.

Their goals were both very well taken...I think there will be quite a few teams in Round Two who would rather avoid them!

 

[ProfessorGreen]

Crikey this is a shocker.

Feel for the him as he's a top bloke and took us through our toughest time ever. Just unfortunate that he's clearly not cut out to be a manager.

 

[shoddycollins]

Maldon look dangerous on the break, with a pacey front three. That could cause us problems if we get them. That said we're still more likely to beat them than we are someone like Coventry or Crewe. Dulwich caused us problems but for all their pressure we had the quality to soak it up then take our chances. Play like that and we should beat most non league teams.

 

[Deepcut Cobbler]

Oh and Dovers winner was scored by Ruel Sotiriou who is on loan from ourselves - We have two strikers out injured and Fletcher decides to send him out on loan, the fucking braindead c***.

At least he'll be able to bring back a bit of FA Cup playing experience when he returns...

See Chief, this is what I was thinking of when I saw that Pools weren't giving the job permanently to Sweeney. It's like the Terminator says, the O's were doing alright in the league and were scoring goals for fun until this Fletcher chap took over.

And that Ole/Man U example that the Barrow fan came out with is just nonsense 'cos we're talking lower league footy here not about one of the biggest clubs in the world ("spits")

 

[Crewelad87]

Hoping for Altrincham away tonight but expecting something like Wycombe.

 

[valefan16]

Solihull would be ok, local game, avoid someone like Gillingham ideally away as that would be dull.

Shrewsbury away if they can beat Bradford or someone like Notts away is ok as an away day.

Be nice for a real non league away day on TV, loved going Shortwood a few years back on a Monday night. An experience that was!

 

[Boletus Edulis]

Non-league at home please.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

I think you will find that the general consensus is that it's far better than 'ok' as an away day.

You're forgetting that Solihull are a very physical side and will be no pushovers. And another thing - Vale do travel in good numbers and their away end is really not ideal for such a large following.

 

[EricSabin]

If it’s gonna be shit I hope it’s at home

 

[Buxton Vale]

Im just hoping for a home tie against anyone

 

[shoddycollins]

Another away draw to a team of trendy liberal tinpotters.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Underwhelming, should we win the replay.

 

[kieran_vale]

Knew we would end up with something like this for fucks sake.

 

[EricSabin]

If it’s gonna be shit I hope it’s at home

Well I suppose this was at least correct

 

[shoddycollins]

Well the replay between grimsby and Newport suddenly got a lot more interesting. Likely to be some TV money up for grabs

 

[valefan16]

Ugh another absolutely shocking draw for us. Zero money, low ground and a two sides we play in the same month!

 

[The Terminator]

Grimsby or Newport will be in for a huge culture shock when they play Maldon, the ground is a cowfield and the nearest train station is Colchester or Chelmsford.

 

[Agombar stool]

Vale at home if we can past Cheltenham. Relatively happy with that.

It’s ok. I’m sure they’ve been to FGR.
