Eednud Posted December 6, 2023 Author Share Posted December 6, 2023 Barnsley kicked out but for some reason the Rovers of Nailsworth aren’t. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/67637539 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you'd think they would be able to find out before the game. He played 90 minutes though so no reason they shouldn't be kicked out IMO, might have been Hull's fault* but it's still FGR's responsibility to make sure their players are eligible. *If what I've seen is right 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
senorsoupe Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 (edited) I just realized I forgot to post the GIF after the latest round where the team that the fate has chosen for me (Alfreton) has lost (again) Walsall in the next round, they are up against Southampton so I am not overly confident there either Oh well, Up the Saddlers!

ICTChris Posted January 2 Share Posted January 2 If anyone fancies it, the East Stanley Working Men's Club are doing a fantastic offer for the Tyne-Wear game. All you can drink for £25. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/24021033.unlimited-drinks-25-east-stanley-working-mens-club-derby/ An absolute killer detail in the final sentence. What a day that would be. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eednud Posted January 3 Author Share Posted January 3 For those not heading to Stanley on Saturday for the half time crisp buffet the Third Round gets underway tomorrow night with Crystal Palace v Everton, three games on Friday, a shit load on Saturday, some on Sunday and one on Monday. Four non-league sides are still going strong with the lowest ranked Maidstone United (6) v Stevenage Town (3) meeting on Saturday. Also on Saturday Watford (2) v Chesterfield (5), Newport County (4) v Eastleigh (5) and on Sunday West Brom (2) v Aldershot Town (5). Pity clubs that treat this competition with disdain were not allowed to bring back their top players the further they progress. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bully Wee Villa Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 (edited) Yeah, they should be banned from picking matches between teams from the same division for televised games until at least Round Five. Tottenham vs Burnley is tomorrow's offering. f**k off. Edited January 4 by Bully Wee Villa 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HibeeJibee Posted January 4 Share Posted January 4 So why are: Brentford-Wolves/Fulham-Rotherham on Friday... Wimbledon-Ipswich/Millwall-Leicester/Coventry-Oxford/Maidstone-Stevenage on Saturday lunchtime... Sheffield Wednesday-Cardiff/Swansea-Morecambe on Saturday teatime... and Luton-Bolton/West Ham-Bristol/WBA-Aldershot/Peterborough-Leeds/Nottingham Forest-Blackpool on Sunday; despite not being in TV? There's just 10 of 32 ties on Saturday afternoon - despite 'only' 9 being televised (including 2x I-player/1x S4C)? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's just 10 of 32 ties on Saturday afternoon - despite 'only' 9 being televised (including 2x I-player/1x S4C)? Overseas TV. Every tie from the third round onwards gets full “live” OB coverage, meaning they’re all available to overseas broadcasters. So kick-off times are spread across the weekend to maximise the number of games that can be shown internationally. But there’s also a large number of London teams at home, so the Met will also have wanted a few shifted away from Saturday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
