Normally I never ever watch a cup draw being made. Tonight I made an exception. I wish I hadn't. Bleddy Huddersfield. Wow!!!
Yeh exciting or what.................. We had two reasonably tough matches and should have been due either a glamour or much easier one than this.
Yeah it's the classic combination of a game we probably won't win against not very interesting opposition a long, long way from home. My money was on Middlesbrough away, so I suppose it's not as bad as it might have been.
4th & 5th Round draw of the FA CUP Sheffield U v Argyle.....the winners will play at home to the winners of Millwall v Bristol C in the 5th round. That's a hard away game for us....but who knows they might play their youth team....but maybe not....they are literally already relegated from the Premiership....so the Cup is there only chance of glory this season.
Bleddy 'Ell. What have we done to the football cup god this season? Not even thinking past this round as it's pointless at this stage.
The Sheff U v Argyle...4th round Cup game will be shown on BBC Digital....and Argyle will receive £42,500 from TV. The winner of the match will receive £90,000...and strangely the loser will get nothing....that does seem weird....but this is the second source that has now said that. PS.....Another source suggests that the losing team will receive £22,500....that seems more likely than receiving nought.
Roy Keane at half time in the Sheffield United v Spurs game (0-2) "Sheffield United are going down as the worst team ever to play in the Premier League". Jus sayin..
Plym - what does "BBC Digital" mean? Is the Sheffield United game being shown or streamed somewhere? FA Player?
I think we will get offered two ways of watching Argyle on Saturday. 1.....There will of course be ifollow. 2.....And for some there will possibly be the BBC text service using the red button option. So maybe in the Devon area and Yorkshire area the BBC might be screening the match on the red button keeping it more local. That's how I see it notDistant.....of course I might be proved wrong...I expect here in the London area they'll be a more local game....so the ifollow for me.
Don't know if the Cup is on iFollow. I don't think it is. As far as I know it's on FA player or the red button. Because I'm never sure is why I leave it to Son to sort out.
It won't be on iFollow in Canada So will listen to the game on BBC Radio Devon on the Argyle web site.
Definitely not on iFollow: that's the EFL platform whilst the Cup ,belongs to the FA. I think "BBC Digital Platforms" probably means live streaming on iPlayer but for fans' peace of mind it would be rather helpful if they and the FA published Electronic Programme Guide schedules like we once got from the dear old Radio Times. Now I mention it, we still go through the ritual of buying the Christmas Radio Times every year and then not looking at it.
Same here...we spent £5 on the Christmas Radio Times....and found out we were half-way through it already when we picked it up. there are TV Stations mentioned in there I've never heard of and couldn't get anyway.
Am waiting for notdistant to start the matchday thread as he did it last time and it's got to be superstition until the fat lady sings now.......
