    Blimey - Maidstone leading 2-1 at Ipswich in the Cup. Two well taken goals too...

    Watford's laboured 2-1 win over Chesterfield (who are the outstanding team in the National League) looks a lot better now after Maidstone (who are 4th in the National League South) have won 2-1 away against Ipswich at Portman Road. Results for Championship teams against non-league sides in F.A, Cup games are not a foregone conclusion.

    If you look at their recent results, they have lost 5 and drawn 1 of their last 6 away games - against the likes of St Albans and Slough...

    Wonderful display by the keeper.

    Ipswich will be ruing these missed chances but credit to Maidstone.

    Outstanding effort and 2 cracking goals.

    Hope they get a good one in the 5th round.

    Maidstone scored with their only 2 shots in the game. Ipswich had 78% possession and 38 shots (including 13 shots on target) during the game. Maidstone;s previous 6 away results suggest that their finishing is not normally so clinical whereas Ipswich appear to have been wasteful.

    Lucas Covolan (Maidstone's Brazilian goalkeeper) played for Chesterfield last season, but was not in their squad for the National League play-off final and his contract was not renewed. Ipswich made 10 changes from their previous game (although some first team players were brought on during the game): they got their just deserts for not taking the competition more seriously.

    Ivory Coast through on penalties v Senegal .

    This after sacking their manager presumably thinking they were out of the tournament already in the group stages !

    Very AFCON I feel .

    Fastest ever goal in the Premier league?

    Form the BBC:
    "
    "Wow! Luton ahead already and that might have a case for being the quickest Premier League goal!"

    One record I wouldn't mind losing as we let the current fastest in v Southampton.

    Keep up BB. 3-0 Brighton not coping with such a direct style.

    This comment by Garth Crooks is probably stuck on the Luton dressing room permanently .

    Aberdeen have sacked their manager - which may go a long way to ensuring that Pollock stays...

    Pollock said he is staying anyway but yes probably ends any interest.
