FA Cup 2020/21 (4th Round)

[Dirty Bird]

**** yes, knocked off Curzon Ashton
Who's next

 

[Dirty Bird]

And with an alfreton player getting covid, fcum are 1 game away from the main round for the 3rd time ever.

 

[Dirty Bird]

89th minute goal to get into the cup!!!!!!!!

 

[Dirty Bird]

In fa cup proper we’ve always played league 1 teams (0-0-2 at home, 1-1-0 away)

Wouldn’t mind a game vs Hull in the next match SM
Also intrigued to see if our perfect record of telecast games follows. (All 3 been telecast, not 100 sure of 2010-11 2nd round replay vs Brighton)
If not, I might just fork out the £5 fcum charge to stream the matches online.

Boring.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Doncaster any good?

 

[Dirty Bird]

Will tier 7 and down teams be allowed crowds in home games like what has been the case the past couple of rounds?

 

[RossFC]

Doncaster any good?

They normally hover around the upper area of league 1.

Officially 4/4 as tv games in fa cup proper

Will this be available on tv here or is it an Optus sports thing?

FA Cup games are normally on ESPN. I reckon 3rd round games should be, but you'll have to check the tv guide to see if 1st and 2nd round games even get shown.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I wonder how teams will play in this years main round

With no replays, will clubs just flood back and play for a shootout. Could be a crap season.
Alternatively, if a team does score, it could open it up as it's basically like all games are replays.

 

[Dirty Bird]

**** yes, the game's on watchespn

With the 1st round kicking off this weekend, let’s have a throwback to the first time fc United made it this far

Boring.

You don't fancy Havant & Waterlooville v Cray Valley Paper Mills?

 

[SM]

We get through.

You don't fancy Havant & Waterlooville v Cray Valley Paper Mills?

I meant our fixture haha.

 

[Dirty Bird]

I guess that’s to be expected when they’re 4 tiers above us :’(

Yay, our (Kewell's duds) 1st round game is live on ESPN and possibly the BBC website. We beat Hampton & Richmond a couple of seasons ago at the same stage but they had a partisan crowd cheering them on. It's a shame there won't be a crowd in tonight but I think it will work in our favour.

Wild game here...I think goalie stretched off hence the huge injury time.
