FA Cup. Rovers v Rovers

[AllRoverAsia]

There is ..... for Crawley to get another! Crawley 3-LUFC 0 78 Mins

BIELSA OUT!!!!!!!

Leeds out, the weekend just got better.

Looks like the HT changes by Bielsa upset things.

Leeds fielded a reasonable strength side too.

So, ODB, you are asking Tony to fall on his sword?

Not an easy question to answer that pal, all things considered.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Nowt wrong with a nap at Ewood, do it myself occasionally.

He will get a sore neck sleeping sat in a chair, not even supplied with a rug in this cold weather.

Surely the Club can stretch to a camp bed with duvet and hot water bottle in the Dug-out so he can get a decent kip.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

I've got a travelling pillow which wraps around the neck when sat up that he may borrow if he likes?

TM looked like he's had a late night. The players looked like they'd had a week of late nights!

So in a strange double 4th and 5th round draw it tyranspires that if we'd beaten Donny we'd have faced West Ham away in the 4th round with the winners away to the winners of Man Utd v Liverpool in the 5th round.
I guess the FA Cup was never destined to have our name on it this year eh?

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

Some good money-spinners there though (in a non-covid season anyway)

 

[Drog]

Definitely so but I don't really know how it works now.

The cups in the past,I'm at a loss why they had 2 draws at once,spoils the dream of clubs but I suppose it was to help the premier teams to throw games earlier.Im sure Chorley beat Wolves in the cup before.

 

[Drog]

Might have been 1986? I think I heard that on the telly yesterday.

Weird that draw though isn't it? I rem playing a game at school where we drew out possible ties like that all the way to the final. Never worked out of course. That's when the FA Cup was of vital importance to kids.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

We would have made a good wedge in Tv money if we had beaten wet spam. On a side note b***ley play Fulham and then if successful Bournemouth or Crawley, all winnable in my opinion. They could then be in the quarter finals.

2nd replay At Burnden. I was there with a few Rovers fans and other team's lads as well. 3.0 Chorley.
Lot's of Wolves fans still consider that game their nadir.

Donny dumped out 4-0 by West Ham.
