Match Day FA Kap Second Round Speciul

[GTFCfish]

What a great occasion for Danny Cowley this evening to show just how good AND clever he is.

Quite witty for you that, i'll give you that one.

 

[Monkey Tennis]

The sense of dread is setting in. Gonna be Luton away, innit?

 

[chipmunx]

West Ham at home for me....

 

[chipmunx]

shit draw - Rochdale at home - but very very winnable

 

[Monkey Tennis]

Rochdale? Fucking Rochdale? Fucksake

 

[Chris FGR]

Rochdale? Fucking Rochdale? Fucksake

Most of us would love to be in your position, at home to Rochdale in the third round. Great chance to make the fourth round.

 

[Pliny Harris]

A third bloody trip to Cockneyville!

Griffin Park is a great ground to visit and a great away day.

Griffin Park is a great ground to visit and a great away day.

I see your review and others' on the match day guides rate it highly. What are the main factors in that for you? Are the pubs really that good?

 

[Chris FGR]

Griffin Park is a great ground to visit and a great away day.

Maybe, but tbf what NL sides want at this stage is either a big pay day, a winnable tie or at least a home draw to maybe get on TV.

Brentford v a non league team attendance isn't likely to break the 10k barrier, so wont bring in big gate receipts, and it doesn't offer much hope of a result to either Halifax or Eastleigh so wont be on the box either.

Not Lincolns biggest fan but will be supporting them tonight!

The more distractions for them the better.

Rochdale would have been a great draw for us, a local and historic Yorks/Lancs derby match. Rochdale are, I believe, our most played opponents, with almost 140 games between us.

 

[B2TF]

Brentford will be a shit reward for winning through 5 rounds of the FA Cup.

Bet they're gutted they didn't draw you.

 

[B2TF]

I bet they are, it would have been a bye for them.

 

[GodsGift]

1-0, Theo!

Rhead has absolutely bossed this so far.

 

[Chris FGR]

2-0 Lincoln. Predictably direct style, hoof it in the box for Rhead to flick it on for Robinson, shit defending by Oldham. Then an absolute gift for Hawkridge, well taken though.

 

[Blue Lion]

Rotherham away if anyone's interested (no? Thought not). What an awful draw that is

come on Oldham - get 1 back at least - i've got both teams to score
... but Lincoln might aswell win

we beat them at home in a televised game in 2008/09 or 2009/10.

yeah we've had them twice in the cup since I've followed Barrow - lost both times, and we got pelted with stones going to the away game. Rotherham made Barrow look like Beverley Hills (and no I don't mean like the Beverley Hillbillies)

Well seeing as they are the worst team in the country, I'd say it's WINNABLE for anyone.

Millmoor was near the sewage works wasn't it?

Scene of one of our best results ever though, 3-0 1st round replay win in 07. Their fans were great, applauded us off the pich at the end.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Wimbledon at home. Interesting local derby, albeit one between 2 clubs who have a very cordial relationship. Sell out very likely as well.

More importantly a chance to get revenge for Wembley 63!

 

[Chris FGR]

3-0 game over.

 

[GodsGift]

Let's be honest, this isn't much of a shock.

 

[Luke Imp]

No, it isn't. We've scored 5 times more than them and the gap is only effectively one league anyway. Imagine if we had a full strength team out.

Ipswich, though...

 

[Luke Imp]

Over 7k, as well. Fantastic night.

 

[The_Boss]

My only memories of Rotherham are pissed up getting on the wrong train home from Sheffield and there not being another going back that night. Had to get a taxi with the driver quoting £80+ I had no choice but to bite he bullet. Gave him what cash I had and had go the machine on the way, had given him £60 upfront so he'd take me. Got home and meter had only ticked round to £45 so had to give me some change! He was gutted, was about 2.30am and he were an hour from home!

Might see if he'll pick me up if we get through.
