FA Cup 2011/2012

[Rors]

Can't see another one knocking around anywhere so thought I'd kick this one off.

Stourbridge beat Plymouth :bow: :doh: - Not sure if that really counts as a shock mind.

What does count as a shock is the FA accepting ITV's offer and the competition being kept on that channel for at least 2014. Wrong, plain bloody wrong.

Fleetwood Town 2-2 Yeovil Town was yesterday's result.

AFC Totton vs Brizzle Rovers is on ITV1, Sutton Utd vs Notts County is on ESPN.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stourbridge 0-1 Stevenage. :(

[McNamara That Ghost...]

AFC Totton 0-2 Brizzle Rovers currently. :(

It's on ITV1 if you want to see some true pub teamers. Only 9 minutes gone.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3, they've all been wondergoals.

[Rors]

39 min: Tyldesley, laughably, describing this quaint setting as “intimidating”. Perhaps he saw someone with a WELCOME TO HAMPSHIRE banner, while a local slit the throat of a pheasant.

TheFCF :bow:

:lol:

Clive was consulting the big football book of cliches.

[Rors]

Looks like Jim is borrowing it now:

50 min: At what point will Beglin start talking about Rovers’ fitness levels “beginning to tell”, I wonder?

47 min: The game “picks up where it left off”, with Bristol Rovers being vastly superior.

[Rors]

Should have scored there...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

:lol:

"Great day out for them" can't be too far away.

[Rors]

0-4 "That little bit of extra league quality" telling here..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Totton scored. :bow:

1-5 now though.

[Rors]

At least Totton were sure to employ the "grab the ball from the net in order to save time" thing.... IT DOESN'T WORK!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Totton 1-6 Brizzle Rovers, FT.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Arsenal vs Leeds

Wumchester City vs Wumchester Utd

Why the fuck arent we starting at 8?

I finish work at 7pm on monday.

Race against time to get home

[Marc Overmars]

Think the Manc derby will be a draw. With United to do them in the replay. :good:

United need this more than City you feel, so it should be a good game.

Still can't believe we're playing on a Monday after the 4th round has taken place.

Referee: Neil Swarbrick (Lancashire)

Scapuzzi is on loan from Citeh. :popcorn:

[Dennis Bendtner]

Would have thought this would be good for Carroll to bag a possible +1. Maybe he can't even do that.

Is that midfield actually better than the £50m worth on the bench? :unsure:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Tough call. I wouldn't say they're noticably worse, put it that way.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Radio commentary is on 5live.

Didn't realise Mancini was on the bench for Oldham, too. Mini-Citeh. :bow:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great chance for Scapuzzi early on, didn't do anything with it.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Citeh extended the loan deal so Scapuzzi could play in this game. We loan Frimpong for his first game against Chelsea. Spuds loan Townsend to Leeds ahead of our game with them. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Kuqi with a great run but hits the side netting at the end of it. Liverpool's defenders left for dead. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Free header for Adeyemi, puts it over. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Another chance for Oldham not taken.

And too shit for any decent team.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool 3-1 Oldham, Shelvey.

[Master Splinter]

3-1. Shelvey.

[Niall_Quinn]

And too shit for any decent team.

He's no Theo.

[Rors]

Did the normally-pretty-good Nevin really just wheel out "Give him a ball and a piece of grass"?! What next Pat, "there's no 'i' in 'team'"?

[Niall_Quinn]

Bellamy off, no goal Downing on.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adeyemi is furious with someone in the Kop, not sure what was done or said. You'd have to suspect something to do with his race.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Adeyemi has now launched in to a challenge and got himself booked.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

4-1 Carroll.

[Niall_Quinn]

Carroll +1

[Ollie the Optimist]

Worryin moment at anfield where apparently one of oldhams black players has been left very upset with something said to him my kop fan. - from a guardian journo of twitter. now a times one has said somehting similar to this


apparently it was a section of racist chanting, leaving the player in question in tears

8 match ban for the crowd.

..and some of them responded to his - completely justified if this is true - 'accosting' of the Kop with - yes - a chant of "There's only one Luis Suarez"....

Now Carroll misses a sitter. :haha:

Dear me, what a miss.

Great clearance from Carroll.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I've read that Adeyemi had a coin thrown at him. If that is true, you'd have thought 5live would've been able to notice it.

[Master Splinter]

Was Barnes working for Five Live tonight?

[Ollie the Optimist]

Liverpool have been thrust into another race hate row, after a fan was arrested on suspicion of racially abusing Oldham player Tom Adeyemi.

The incident occurred towards the end of the FA Cup tie, when a fan screamed abuse at the young full back, and visibly upset, he turned to confront the man.

Adeyemi was visibly upset, and seemed to be in tears. Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard moved across to the corner of the ground where the incident occurred, and comforted the 20 year old.

Eye witnesses saw two fans wearing Luis Suarez t-shirts, and heard one of them clearly shout "You f***ing black b***ard".


Police immediately moved in to restrain the two suspects, and later confirmed arrests had been made.

A senior Liverpool figure explained afterwards that stewards were immediately on the scene, and he said: "We will do everything in our power to investigate the matter and ensure the appropriate action is taken."

The incident could not have come at a worst time for the club, following the controversy that has raged over the Suarez affair, who was banned for eight matches for racist abuse of Manchester United's Patrice Evra.

The FA are now sure to investigate, and Liverpool could face sanctions for failing to control their supporters.

[Joker]

What a silly idea by Jeff Stelling to offer more leeway to players with good "reputations" who make bad challenges, and not to give red cards unless it was an intentional tackle. This is just to protect England players who make dangerous tackles, the type of player who always gets protected by the likes of Stelling who claim "he's not that type of player".

Guzan, Hutton, Collins, Dunne, Warnock, Petrov, Albrighton, Clark, Ireland, Bent, Heskey

That'll do..

Two Bryan Ruiz assists today.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Dos Santos, what? I thought he was dead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham 4-0 Charlton, Duff.

Two assists for Bryan Ruiz? Me. :bow:

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Spuds 3-0, Dos Santos.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Sheffield United 3-1 Salisbury, Macklin.

Barnsley 2-4 Swansea, Graham again. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

MK Don 1-1 QPR, Helguson. Balls.

WBA 4-2 Cardiff, Cox hat-trick.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Things go from bad to worse for QPR. Having used all three subs Neil Warnock watches Alejandro Faurlin get stretchered off. The visitors are down to 10 men and in desperate need of a goal. It doesn't look like coming though.

Oh dear

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wigan are out. :haha:

[Master Splinter]

Wigan :haha:.

Whelan says no.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

ESPN is only free for Virgin Media customers. Sinking ships unite

Get in, i can watch the game.

Its free till 4th feb with is good.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's free on the platform for most people that probably have it anyway. :doh:

[Rors]

Whelan says no.

"Aston Villa have gone about this completely the right way"

[Master Splinter]

We have to endure ITV Highlights to see the action. :sick:

I'll be pleasantly surprised if even 20% of the games have a decent angle.

Get Strachan to do both the presenting and analysis.

[Master Splinter]

Bristol Rovers v Aston Villa

Bristol Rovers: Poke, Woodards, Downes, Bolger, Sawyer, Anyinsah, Stanley, Dorman, Carayol, Zebroski, Richards. Subs: Cronin, Smith, McGleish, Lee Brown, Anthony, McLaggon, Goddard.

Referee: Howard Webb (S Yorkshire)

Poke :bow:.

How many fuck-ups for the best cop and ref in the world today?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

84.

Also, Goodwillie, Poke and Cox all need to be on the same team.

[Rors]

We have to endure ITV Highlights to see the action. :sick:

The worm's eye view they gave us at Fratton Park was something special. ITV will do all the can to better themselves though

[Rors]

Here we go then....

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Warnock has already been beaten a couple of times by the sounds of it.

[Rors]

Barely crossed the halfway line yet. That'll be about right...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Heskey clears one.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Heskey denied by Poke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Albrighton shoots...goes out for a throw-in. :lol:

[Master Splinter]

Sounds like Heskey's having a good game.

By his standards, of course.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

ESPN have managed to pick the only goalless ties of the day (except for Forest vs Leicester). Impressive.

Ah bollocks just noticed another one.

Me. :lol:

End of an era after all. :rose:

[Master Splinter]

Also, Goodwillie, Poke and Cox all need to be on the same team.

Six-month loans for Dunk and Fanni too.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Six-month loans for Dunk and Fanni too.

Dong. :bow:

[Rors]

Super Marc, 1-0!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brizzle Rovers 0-1 Villa, Albrighton. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Manilow :bow:.

What a day for me :scarf:.

Holt :doh:.

[Master Splinter]

Dong. :bow:

The two Dongs could flank......we need Letters and Coney really.

[Master Splinter]

Albrighton :haha:.

Amazing technique.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guzan. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Almost a fuck-up from Guzan :lol:.

The pitch :bow:.

A thing of beauty.

Shame it's not Stoke v Barcelona.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The ball has been lost. :haha:

0-1 HT.

[Master Splinter]

The ball went into Dale Farm.

They might as well be playing on a bed of thorns and nails. It's truly absurd that football is played on a surface like that.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Heskey off, Agbonlahor on. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-2 Agbonlahor.

[Rors]

Never in doubt...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

0-3 Villa, Clark. :bow:

[Master Splinter]

Never in doubt...

...once Rovers lost their defensive stability at half time.

[Rors]

...once Rovers lost their defensive stability at half time.

:tiphat:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brizzle Rovers 1-3 Villa, McGleish. Dunne ballsed up.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Pelanty to Brizzle Rovers!

:haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Guzan saves it. :doh:

[Master Splinter]

Guzan :bow:.

Rors :bow:.

[Rors]

"I hope he's not going to watch Match Of The Day tonight and think I should have had a brace of goals". Er, no chance of that Bowen....

[Rors]

We're The Entertainers after all

[Marc Overmars]

Went to MK Don vs QPR, gutted they couldn't hold on.

Macheda is one shite ass player. Another Mellor, Rose etc who live off a wondergoal.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Fulham hat-trick hero Clint Dempsey on Twitter: "This game is a rollercoaster. Stay strapped in for them ups and downs. But I did put that biscuit in the basket a few times today."

:haha:

WTF?

[Rors]

:haha:

WTF?

The new Sid?

[Cripps_orig]

Wigan :haha:

Whelan :haha:

Any other prem team knocked out/taken to a replay?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The new Sid?

Get him on BBC Two.

[Rors]

Worst intro ever

[Rors]

ITV taking a leaf out of MOTD's book with the "telegraph what happened with your selection of the lead match" angle

[Rors]

Decent camera angle here, but ITV making up for that with an appalling sound mix. They never let us down

---

El_Habsi wanted an age to try and reach that one.. "Must get" indeed

[Rors]

Benson looked suspiciously offside there.

"The Italian cat on a hot tin roof" - What the merry fuck Drury?!!

[Cripps_orig]

El_Habsi. Must get indeed

Best post you've ever made but hands off, hes our Must Get

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Paul Ince. :lol: Excellent analysis.

[Rors]

Best post you've ever made

After 46 months, I'll take that :trophy:

(and you can keep him!)

[Rors]

Def. offside. Think original shot was going in anyway, the Must Get (TM) was slow getting down

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Liverpool's game is on now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

They didn't show Carroll missing a sitter.

[Rors]

The very definition of +1-age from Carroll and "Stewie" there

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Great keeping. :lol:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Paul Robinson. :lol: Getting skinned easily by League Two players.

Mendy. :bow: What a goal.

[Rors]

Robinson was made to look (even more of a) fool there.

Fricking hell what a goal by Mendy. Justin Fashanu '80 special!

[Rors]

"That was an absolute worldie" Any mystique it might have had snuffed out in an instant by 'The Guv'nor'...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Merse should get it trademarked.

[Rors]

ITV BEGINNING the Brighton - Wrexham game with the score caption showing 1-1. Just when you think they've reached their apex.. :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wrexham just made it 1-1!

:faint:

[Rors]

Wrexham just made it 1-1!

:faint:

Out of nowhere!

The light channel :rose:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

No mention of it by Matt Smith. :lol:

[Rors]

Matterface on ITV?!! Is nothing "sacred"?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

At least it doesn't have Collymore shouting out for no reason when they go in.

[Rors]

At least it doesn't have Collymore shouting out for no reason when they go in.

No mention of "Ladbrokes" either..!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Roland Garros on ITV. :(

Roland Garros on ITV. :(


:haha: I've got four months to prepare myself for how atrocious that is going to be, and even then I reckon I'll be suffering from acute shock by noon on the first Monday...

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'll have to brave Eurosport I think and by that I mean hope Mats Wilander is commentating. :bow:

Reading. :doh:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Brizzle Rovers vs Villa now.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wonderful pitch.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Yes ESPN commentary. Please god let Waddle speak when Brizzle Rovers were awarded it!
