According to the incredibly detailed mail I received from Bishop's Stortford's yesterday with all their Covid precautions for tonight's Cup tie it is the first "properly televised* UK match with fans present this season" and post-coved too, I presume.
* as opposed to matches from earlier rounds broadcast on the BBC website/app etc, I presume.

Match of the Day 2 last night was really scraping the barrel. Tim Cahill and Leon Osman aren't even second string summarisers. At least Cahill actually has some inflection in his voice these days and doesn't sound like a rebooting android trying to access it's human simulation speech patterns. But, God, they talked for ages. The sections in-between the match action seemed to be longer than the highlight reels. I get that the games weren't that exciting in terms of scorelines. A smash and grab 1-0 away for Leicester, 2 late goals at Molineux and a 0-0, But if there isn't much to show, do something else like show more of the games from the previous day or something.

Did they not bother with the Saints v Everton game then?

Entertaining first half at Bishop's Stortford, no lack of quality either. The home side 2-up at the break, the first the result of hesitant goalkeeping, Bishop's no.9 blocking an attempted clearance, the ball richocheting straight into the back of the net. The second a raking cross field pass, controlled and slotted calmly past the keeper. St Albans aren't out of this though. My money's on pens.

A slightly peculiar opening goal, especially as my doubts in the ground that in the ground that it would have been deemed a back pass have been increased by the footage :

I'll extend this thread to the 27th rather than start a new one. It's Carlisle v Morecambe on ifollow tonight, one of those weird fixtures that the home side never seems to win - of 6 league fixtures we've drawn 4 and lost 2 at our place, and won 4 and drawn 2 at theirs.
Anyway, we're off to a good start with a Morecambe oggie after just 25 seconds. I've invested in some cableage to watch it on the telly... and we've just scored a second with a deflected cross looping in.

Paid ?10 to watch the Imps at Crewe. Dominating at half time, 9 shots on goal after 20 minutes. Montsma hit the bar from 30 yards in the first 30 seconds, Hopper somehow contrived to hit the post from 3 yards with a header and just when I thought Crewe were going to nick something, Harry Anderson's fizzed a low shot in from the edge of the area. Should be comfortably in front. Here's hoping Johnson wins another dodgy pen in the second half.Last edited by RobW; 27-10-2020, 20:01.

Carlisle won 3-1. Made hard work of it though, gradually invited Morecambe onto us and conceded weakly from a corner. Felt like we would probably have conceded again if ex-Shrimper George Tanner hadn't come up from full back to take a neat pass and slot home from the edge of the box. We're up to 4th by the looks of it, despite not playing brilliantly these last two games and with the strikers failing to score again tonight.
