FA Cup games...

[brb]

Interesting lower league weekend;

With Gills at home to Bristol City and PT under pressure, can our club pull off a surprise win.

Then ex Gills manager, Martin Allen's Barnet are at home to League Two high flyers Wycombe, but MadDog will be sure to know how to deal with the L2 big boys.

While the big one on Sunday has to be Maidstone away at Stevenage, good luck the Stones.

Finally the derby game has to be Bromley v Dartford....

Oh I nearly forgot Dover, now how could i forget them, at home against Morecambe.

If I have missed anyone apologies but going to be an exciting FA Cup weekend. Although I am forecasting a melt down if PT loses again and especially if MA's lot wins...alert...all mods at the pumps lol....could be a spiky few days.

Maidstone have pretty much sold out their 1,400 ticket allocation at Stevenage too. Great effort from them.

Looking forward to seeing us get tonked today in person for the first time in a while, good luck to all other Kent sides especially Maistone been down to watch them a few times when bored in the week and I have a lot of time for that club.

Well I went with very low expectations, but what was served up didn't even reach those! To go out of the cup without making their keeper make a save from open play is a terrible state of affairs. Cody and Keds were truly atrocious, Cody barely touched the ball or made any runs into space and Kedwells 1st touch was so bad that his 2nd touch was a tackle every time.

I see Stefan Payne's goal put Dover through to the second round.

Great result for Maidstone yesterday and they will now bring Stevenage to their 3G turf and home advantage for the non league club. Interesting that many ppl are in support of 3G that i am totally against, yet listening to the pundits they reckon 3G is a clear advantage over turf as it does not play the same, so it could work in the Stones favour!

Also elsewhere, shame to see Barnet lose 1-3 after being 1-0 up, with Curtis Weston missing a great chance to put the Bee's 2-0 up early on. Two red cards were Barnet's undoing, so do i assume slight lack of discipline, I'm sure MA will think of suitable punishment.

Dartford won the tie against Bromley and Dover I have already mentioned.
