FA Cup, 2020-2021

[Rogin the Armchair fan]

I still don't like AFC Bournemouth getting no. 1 in the third round proper draw. 1 should be Arsenal (all the more so in a season when they're the holders).

Draw's live tonight on BBC One at 7pm. Presumably live from Canvey Island, who are playing Boreham Wood straight after.

He had what my children insist on calling "sliders" on as well.

He walked there in his socks?

[Gangster Octopus]

Exactly my feelings, substituting Rotherham for Shrewsbury, obviously...

[Patrick Thistle]

If Shrewsbury get Spurs away for the first time ever in the third round and I can't go because of fucking Covid I think I might cry.

See feedback sub-forum

[Gangster Octopus]

Worth (nearly) repeating...

[Guy Profumo]

Well. Rhat could've gone better…

[Guy Profumo]

Well. That could've gone better…

I hope Chorley get a big home tie for their first ever appearance in the 3rd round, and if limited fans are allowed in, that some of my mates who support them get tickets.

As for Exeter, a pity that this year they won't get the million pound payday that the third round has brought them twice, recently, with trips to Old Trafford and Anfield. I'd actually prefer Exeter to avoid one of the big clubs, draw someone they can beat, and hopefully by the fourth round crowds are back.

Said injury time sub is the grandson of former Wolves and England defender Ron Flowers. About six or seven years ago so he got in touch with me to ask if I could send his grandad a copy of our fanzine. Nice polite lad, so I was surprised to find out he was a professional footballer.

[Nesta]

Sure he was in nappies when i had that handle but

In injury time Brackley brought on a sub named for one of my old usernames on here, but more importantly, the paedophile gangland boss from Performance

[Gangster Octopus]

Where's the money behind Brackley come from?

[Satchmo Distel]

Looking at the match stats, Barrow had most of the possession. I'd be interested to know whether they rested fewer players than Wimbledon. At least they get the weekend off, but the cash loss of not reaching the 2nd round might hurt.

[DCI Harry Batt]

Sounded by all accounts like we were terrible.

[Ray de Galles]

Wimbledon rested as many players as they could after Saturday and Tuesday's away games and will make more changes to the side for Sunday, I'm sure.

[Satchmo Distel]

Extra time will have made the players even more knackered.

[Diable Rouge]

Wimbledon progress 4-2 on penalties after a scoreless draw with Barrow.

Not much space to rig up a tv gantry at Marine. Youtube footage from Rossett park is always from the stand behind the goal

I suppose with no fans allowed in that they must be planning to rig something up above the roof on the Jubilee Road side - couldn't really do it with fans as the scaffold and ladders would block the walkway.

[Southport Zeb]

They can use someone's back garden

[Baptiste]

Quite surprised our game was chosen, maybe someone at the BBC is still feeling guilty for not showing the Watford replay last season. Or it's not too far from Salford.
Nice of BT to show Marine, didn't think they'd go for an all non-league tie

All of those matches are currently on the schedule for ESPN+
