Match Day Thread Southampton vs Ipswich FA CUP 04.01.2015 & Replay 14.01.2015

Just watched the highlights - the foul on Long that was given as a free kick looks like it was in the box? You can see the marks on the pitch where he was sent sliding

Report of Morgan's postmatch interview. They've selected the headline that Saints aren't scared of Ipswich...he said it, but it comes out as more aggressive than when heard in his interview. Morgan says that the team couldn't use tiredness as an excuse...if you are mentally prepared, your legs will follow is how he put it.

 

1976. The third round came at a time when we didn't really need it. We were doing well in the league and, really, it seemed an unnecessary distraction. We went 1-0 down at home to Villa and then scrambled a 1-1.

History repeating obviously

 

I knew we were not going to win. One of my customers went. She also went to Sheff Utd away she also went to Man City away last season when we lost Jay as well as the game she also went to some other away games last season that we lost. oh and she is also going to Old Trafford.

 

You really should reassess your quality of customer.

A Group of fans were led in just before the kick off and given empty seats at the front of the Kingsland South, hopefully it was this group?

The story has just been updated and they did get in OK. That would been a long way travel for nothing!

 

Just seen the footage and I am in no doubt now it should have been a penalty, whether we would have scored it is open to conjecture!

 

Hope Clyne is back at the weekend. He makes a huge difference to our attacks.

 

I'm thinking of banning her

 

75% chance of playing on the Premier League site. They tend to be accurate.

 

Tintin you are still unbeaten on match threads !

 

Good news. Think we can really get at them with their defensive problems. Shaw Rafael Valencia and Young all injured.

 

and long may it continue

 

"Thinking"? Not good enough!

 

Elia should be available for this replay, no? Could be an interesting option.

 

I am thinking there is an obscure rule in my head that you have to be signed before the first game to be able to play in the replay? As always could be wrong...

 

Yes, you are right and I was wrong. Rule 15(f) says: All players must have been eligible to play in the original tie in order to play in a replayed or postponed match...

 

Did we not also draw at home to Millwall in 2003, before reaching the final???

 

That was the 4th round though, after we smashed that lot from north London the round before

 

We drew against Aston Villa in 1976. Beat them in the replay at Villa Park 2-1. Significant year was 1976.
