    A lovely West Country derby between Bristol Rovers and Weston Super Mare in the FA Cup.

    Don’t believe so, though he’s going to the Wolves game.

    Weston Super-Mare could've won a money spinning cup replay at home in previous seasons. They drew 1-1 away at Bristol Rovers at 90minutes.

    That probably would've meant a sold out ground for them, plus likely tv revenue - life changing money for clubs at that level.

    Instead, they lost 3-1 in extra time and missed out on all that because the elite clubs voted to scrap replays because their poor ickle players can't cope with the extra matches.

    Yeah massive shame they've gone and devalues the competition for me personally.

    I do think it'll see more upsets though.

    Looks like a poor travelling support. Only got half the stand?

    We didn't have much more than half IIRC. Small ground - I think we only had an allocation of 1600 or so.

    Fair enough. I thought it was the whole stand given but was mistaken.

    I always liked Michael


    FULL-TIME
    21:51 GMT

    Plymouth 1-0 Portsmouth

    Michael Obafemi's late goal means Plymouth come away with all the points to go three clear of the relegation zone.

    Imagine waiting over a decade to get back into the second tier to be so pathetic and go down without a fight.
