FA Cup (2019-2020)

[crashbang]

So a home tie against Burton Albion awaits our team to follow, Oldham.

No Ian Porterfield/Bob Stokoe moment for Sunderland this time around as they bow out at the first hurdle with a loss at Gillingham. Was it really almost 47 years since they broke the hearts of the Mighty Leeds fans (including Brin) on that rain soaked day at Wembley?

Looks like Freddy Krueger.

Lost in all the excitement of our game at Solihull is the fact that the MM curse struck again as Oldham went down at home to Burton who are now the team to follow on the Road to Wembley.

For the Americans amongst us we are double nickel in the 3rd round draw.

[CAMiller]

Burton at home to The Cobblers so a chance of one of our teams winning a game but as we know at home to Northampton in the 3rd round can be an unhappy hunting ground.

weekend of Friday 3 January to Monday 6 January 2020 for 3rd round games unless your a Prem club who do what they want

[CAMiller]

A good night for the C teams but not much glory for the winners as Carlisle win a trip to Cardiff, Coventry get to visit the West Country with a trip to Bristol Rovers or Plymouth, Crewe will host Barnsley and at the time of writing Hartlepool can start getting ready for a trip to Oxford.

[CAMiller]

So today's loss cost us 135K

Now we're out we can focus support towards Burton as they take on The Cobblers tomorrow. Will they survive the curse?

[Nardendee]

What annoyed me more about the 3rd round was that VAR was used at Premiership venues but not elsewhere. It should be all or nothing.

If we had VAR we’d not be out. Mind you, with our luck there would probably have been a technical fault with the system and mission control would be on a tea break.

Not going to blame the officials even though they were rubbish and clearly should have gone to Specsavers.

[CAMiller]

....and the curse goes on as Northampton demolish Burton 4-2 at Burton. We'll find out Monday who they are going to lose to in Round 4

If we had got through. Chelsea at home
