The General Football Thread

Incredible scenes.

 

For a bit of context, up next for Maidstone... Punjab United in the Kent Cup.

You just can't beat the FA Cup.

 

As much as I'd love to draw them if it's not us then hopefully get a huge club at home.

 

Really enjoyed that David vs Goliath. I wonder what the biggest cupsets of all time are in terms of places gap in the football pyramid.

 

Nah, got to be a Man U or Liverpool away. Not only will they make more money that way and but more Maidstone fans would fit in those away ends than at home!

 

The only downside of this result is that it might give Ipswich a kick up the butt and make them more difficult to catch.
Would have preferred them to win this and lose their next league match.

 

I think we've yet to play Watford?

 

Not sure what that's got to do with his post?

 

**** distance for them to travel midweek though. Would always prefer underdogs to be at home.

 

Ah good point, wasn't thinking about the fact it'd be mid week.

Don't they'll mind either way if its a big club!

 

Linked to Libby's original post and a bit tongue in cheek humour.

 

Nice replay for Leeds there.

 

Pompey get a last minute winner. Peterborough, Barnsley and Oxford all drop points.

Luckily Bolton and Derby both won.

 

So that's an extra trip to Plymouth for Leeds.

 

Not exactly a local trip either.

 

88th minute is 10 mins from time these days.

 

This commentator should be sacked, the arrogance.

 

Why? It’s their local station. No different from how Solent talk about saints.

 

What was he meant to do, line the jagas up and have a party?

 

My eldest nipper will be very pleased with the Grecians win at Barnsley! He has a super outlook on life despite many challenges and the reason he supports them is 'because I was born there'. Saints are very close behind though!!
