    Herbie Kane, 19 on loan from Liverpool.

    Why are we not getting the young players on loan from the big clubs anymore?

    Some of them are surely good enough for the Championship.

    We're usually pants in the FA CUP, always have been for some reason. But if we were to play a side from a lower division I'd rather it be away so that our crowd get up for it (our away support is much more vocal). We never seem to get a proper tempo at home whenever we're the favourites. No idea why that is, but it just always seems to be the case. Must be psychological.
    Maybe if you were backed by a home support we enjoy in the lower leagues the tempo may increase .

    Our home crowds in the lower leagues are as good as when we're in the champ. People are fickle and just like to see a winning side. Big difference I find is the away support.

    Alex Bray played 80 for York away at Swindon in FA cup lost 2-1. Don’t think he’s played that long for us all season!

    Despite Wimbledon's FA Cup victory at Haringey last Friday, manager Ardley has been sacked today. Not sure how that will affect Purrington's loan

    It’s a good job for Chesterfield that they only had to play Bill and Ricky. If they’d played against 3 players they’d have probably lost.

    FC Romania lost to Beaconsfield Town
    Beaconsfield Town lost to Concord Rangers
    Concord Rangers lost to Dover Athletic
    Dover Athletic lost to Bury
    Bury will lose to ???

    We've traveled from the home of The Laughing Policeman, through towns that Enid Blyton and Lord Byron inhabited and now arrive in Bury, birthplace of Sir Robert Peel, Cherie Blair and a whole washing machine full of 'soap stars' including Sean and Rosie from Corrie, Zak and Mandy Dingle from Emmerdale and a couple of nobodies from Hollyoaks.

    In case anyone from Bury is reading and laughing off the curse. Biggleswade were 3-2 up against Soham when that game was abandoned after a clash of heads and they went on to lose 5-3 when it was replayed. Believe me, the curse is real
    So here we are then, the last round before we enter the fray. What's the odds of RUFC getting drawn against the winner of our Road to Wembley pairing of Bury v Luton? Moreover, what's the odds of us winning if we do?

    60 years on from their FA Cup glory days that culminated in them losing to Nottingham Forest in the final, The Hatters find themselves making a trip to Gigg Lane with the winner's eyes on drawing a 'big boy' in January's 3rd Round. Won't they be disappointed if they get us? Famous Luton players include the likes of Malcolm McDonald and Bruce Rioch, the club was later managed by dancing David Pleat and had Eric Morecambe as one if it's directors. In the 80s their Kenilworth Road ground laid claim along with QPR and PNE to having one of the worst artificial playing surfaces in the land that was maybe graced by one of the worst players in the land as a certain CAMiller experienced how bad carpet burns can be when you hit that stuff at full (albeit not very fast) pace.

    Good luck to both teams on Sunday as with the curse of MM upon you it's a sure bet you are going to get knocked out in the next round anyway

    Good away wins for Barnsley and Donny today. It must be a while since all 5 South Yorkshire clubs were involved in the 3rd round with Chesterfield also having the chance to join them tomorrow. Could be an interesting draw on Monday.
