Great Lincoln fourth goal. Young player running through just the goalkeeper to beat to get his first ever goal and twat of a defender pushes him in the back. He falls over, kicks the ball against the goalkeeper's leg and it bounces back against the defender and so into the goal so the twat has an own goal against his name

Walsall away, fuck yeah!

After some of the excitement of the first round it is a deflatingly boring draw for the second. The gallant lowly non-leaguers (Harborough and Gainsborough Trinity) have got guff difficult away ties. That Burton v Tamworth is probably tie of the round tells you how uninspiring the rest of the draw is. A pity.

Burton V Tamworth could be an interesting tie.

Burton V Tamworth could be an interesting tie.

Probably the only decent tie. Definitely tie of the round.

I imagine there is form between the two sets of supporters.

For some reason when I was a teenager I walked into Burton, possibly having hitched. All I remember are the breweries. You'd hope people would want to be friendly to them.

Burton and Tamworth....think not. All the smallers breweries have been merged in to one large brewery.

yes this was the late 60s that I'd have gone there.

 

[Lotte]

Rooting for Gainsborough Trinity, even though Harrogate are above them. They're the bottom ranked team at the moment.

This coming weekend for the next round, kicking off on Friday.

The FA banning replays got me close to losing the 'magic of the Cup', but no, I'm just about still in.

Agreed. But. I can't abide penalty shoot outs. It is a team game and pens is all about 2 players, the taker and the keeper.

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand

bump

 

[hash tag]

It's Harrogate for me as Gainsborough look like a local premier club in that strip

 

[hash tag]

EEE by gum, it's grim up norf

 

[Lotte]

Kevin Pressman!

Harrogate have got this, I reckon, but would be nice if Gainsborough won. Both clubs need the TV money.

 

[hash tag]

Dooley looks well dazed and bloody walking off. I seem to remember if the player was off the pitch receiving treatment the game continued?

 

[hash tag]

Great timing. We are about to turn over

 

[Lotte]

Harrogate are through. I feel a bit sad for Gainsborough, but they played well, considering they're three leagues below Harrogate.

Wealdstone v Wycombe next up this morning, early start 10:40 with kickoff 11:30 on ITV1.

Hopefully we'll avoid the very possible banana skin but you never know. We've been unbelievable in League One this season, it's going to be hard to maintain it though, I'd be happy to win this one then get a Premier League side away to really test ourselves in the 3rd round.

11.30 KO! just what is the FA cup becoming.

Will Kodua and Potts be playing? I'll watch it if they are.

Neither I'm afraid, Kodua is injured atm and Freddie Potts is now on loan at Portsmouth.

Hope this legend makes an appearance...

Oh. I thought I saw Kodua came back. And in my head Potts went back to you. Nvm. Good luck anyway!

 

[JimW]

Rarely goes these days apparently, and pimps himself out embarrassingly on social media.

Wealdstone have had the better chances playing really well.

And 10 seconds after I say that

 

[Lotte]

Dang, that is an early kickoff.

Crosspost: what is it about the BBC HYS that attracts all the Joey Bartons? Fara Williams was doing punditry on Gainsborough v Harrogate and a whole load of comments on the Gainsborough match were crying about 'wokism' and 'why do we have a WOMAN doing punditry, why can't bitches stick to their own game'. Why does it matter. Why are male football fans like this. Why can you not just be normal about us for five fucking minutes. Why can so many of you not accept that women have as much right to watch and enjoy football as you do. 'Oh but it's a different gaaaaaame'. Fuck off. NOBODY complains when men commentate on women's football but when it's the other way round, men go mental over it. Also, men do do punditry and commentary on women's games. It's not women only. Stop lying.

And for the people whining about the quality of the game, what do you expect. Two bottom feeder sides playing each other is not going to be El Clásico. Harrogate are in League 2 and Gainsborough Trinity are non-league, and managed by two ex-Scunthorpe men, one of whom is an ageing goalkeeper with a hip replacement. Do not expect glamour.

I need to stop reading HYS, it makes me a misandrist. So many men being FORCED to watch women's games and being upset about it.
