Didn't watch Salford v Notts County, but I have viewed the short highlights. Have I detected a BBC pleasure over Salford City winning and the fact that they are owned by some of the 92 Class.? They're meant to be neutral. This taking sides stuff is distinctly naughty. Felt sorry for Notts County, to be honest. Distinct feeling, from the highlights, that they were the Them in an US v THEM game.

It was a bit of a give away when Jermaine Jenas went: "Get in" as they scored the first. <laugh>
 
The BBC coverage was very one-sided. It was hard not to get behind Salford though, 59 places seperate them! Wouldn't it be brilliant if they get through to the third round and draw Manchester United!?

Especially as that would mean we hadn't. I wouldn't mind Saints drawing Salford at SMS though :) Would piss Salford off though....lovely though we are, I appreciate that any little side that gets to the third round is not dreaming of playing us.
 
The events were fitting the narrative very nicely for Auntie with their documentary. Which featured a 2-0 away win for Lancaster City at (9 man) Salford. [HASHTAG]#coydb[/HASHTAG]

I can think of a little side down the end of the M27 who dream of little else!
 
I enjoyed the documentary, but am I the only one who thinks this is just another case of rich owners on an ego trip destroying the heart of a football club. I started off thinking about their involvement as positive but changed as the first episode went on. I think the fact they only had 3 players left who started the season shows how the team was no longer in touch with the fans - which is what non league football is all about. Just to say, what has happened to Salford left a nasty taste in my mouth.

I'm not a gambler but I'd have a fiver on 0-0 if that happened.
 
Oh dear, Lloyd Isgrove missed an absolute sitter which would have saved Barnsley from defeat at Altrincham.
