FA Cup.

[Wilpshire Blue]

Chorley 2-0

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Cheltenham losing 2-1 to City after leading for awhile. Shame, I just noticed who Cheltenham’s manager is.

So if we'd beaten Donny, stuffed WHU it'd be Man Utd next at OT to feel the lash.
I thought they'd beat Liverpool, in fact I'd a feeling if last weeks match went into extra time United would have won that too. Livvie being proper out of sorts at present.

btw odd how I can predict other teams better than I can predict the Rovers results.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

Wycombe currently beating spuds 1-0 at half time, I think I’ll watch the second half. BT Sport or elsewhere if you know what I mean.

Edit: Bale just equalised.

Congrats to Leicester City. FA Cup winners 20/21. Quite an intriguing final tbh. Some great performances out there. A marvellous 'punched' shot by Tielmans into the top left corner. How often do we see normal 'have a go' shots fly over the bar? Special recognition for a couple of game saving saves from Kasper Schmeical in the second half.

Wow - I have to admit I didn’t even know it was today . I’ve been watching the British Masters which had a great finish

Well done to Leicester. They seem to have a knack of upsetting the big teams .

 

[Wilpshire Blue]

I knew I heard this before the match.
Well done to the fans
Didn't hear much of the clapping, perhaps it was just the BBC employees.

It's pretty near the end of that crap. The fans won't allow it when the new season starts and then maybe the media will realise that it has all been counter productive along with the compulsory black person on all the game shows.

Nice to see one of the so-called unfashionable clubs lift the FA Cup. The Leicester fans were far more up for it weren't they?

and adverts, and even most historical drama's! Whoever heard of the fictional Maid Marion being a black woman? Let alone the ludicrous example of the factual Anne Boleyn?

Reminded me of our semi final v Chelsea at Old Trafford. Viewing from the South Stand the Rovers fans were far noisier than the Chelsea crew and especially in the rendition of 'I'm gonna be' (500 miles). I rem the Chelsea end totally silent and in something which I could only describe as a state of bewilderment as the 'da da da da's rang out from opposite sides of OT of the Rovers fans*.

*btw where are they all now?

Doesn't like the Monarchy but has absolutely no problem with earning money by (ludicrously) playing one of them.

Absolutely unbelievable. Why do we go to watch such crap?

 

[rovers95]

Agreed. Complete stupidity.

Currently settling down to watch Stockport County v Bolton Wanderers in the FA Cup 1st round, live on BBC2. Should be tasty.

A lively start. Stockport’s defending reminds me of Rovers on occasions.

I thought exactly the same myself. Half time 2-3 what a game. Proper cup tie.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

FT 3-3 and on to extra time. County much the better team in the second half.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

5-3 to County AET. I can’t remember ever seeing a better cup tie that didn’t involve us!

 

[Drog]

Wonderful stuff and played in a good spirit. No play acting or timewasting etc. Best Manchester Derby for some time.
