asked a question yesterday not sure if it was answered, but is our friend Friend refereeing the replay? Have to say some of the tackle's flying in from Boro it's no wonder we have an injury problem.
I hope with all my heart that they have a different ref for this game, but I fear we will be stuck with the useless piece of **** called Kevin Friend.
southampton v millwall, sheff wed v blackpool, boro v sunderland, our game's the obvious choice really. espn will show 1 of the ties anyway, with itv4 showing the other 1 on the tuesday night
Anyone know what the situation with the tickets is? Are they going to reply in kind with a reduced allocation?
15% of 35,000 is 5,250 that is the tickets Boro must give us by the F A rules, so why are we given over a 1,000 short?. Anyhow we could take 20,000 there no bother and what a cracking game if we get through!. And why was the goal dissalowed, the ref or linesman could not have seen the handball, and it was not offside. It is always in the south stand where these desitions go against us, so maybe the visiting supporters are getting to the refs and linesmen.
If you wade through the FA Cup rules and regulations (and what a lot of them there are) you will eventually see that it says the visiting teams can claim up to 15% but a subsequent clause states 'Where it is deemed desirable, the Professional Game Board shall have the right to vary the allocation of tickets to the Visiting Club, or require a match to be made all ticket.' You may remember it was originally announced that Boro would be given 7000 tickets but then the Safety Committee got involved and cut the allocation to 3000.
