FA Cup 2014/15

Bury away is hardly a glamour tie for Hemel if it gets through to the First Round proper for the first time in its history.

2-0 win. Next stop Bury away. Tonight's replay was the first time I've ever followed a game on twitter. 21st century teletext.

I did that for Tranmere v Chesterfield in a Johnstones Paint Trophy match a couple of years back. It's both weird and shit, innit?

It was the Hemel twitter account and for some reason they stopped tweeting after Hemel went 2-0 up with ten minutes to go. I'm guessing it was too much for the person tweeting.

either that, or fuck all happened. Which is common in Tranmere matches

I've known whole seasons go past like that

Replays:

Shildon 1-2 Norton United
AFC Telford United 3-0 Spennymoor Town
Braintree Town 5-3 Weymouth
Dover Athletic 1-0 Eastbourne Borough
Halifax Town 5-0 Chorley
Harrow Borough 1-4 Basingstoke Town
Havant & Waterlooville 3-0 Canvey Island
Hemel Hempstead Town 2-0 Nuneaton Town
Lincoln City 5-1 Alfreton Town
Southport 1-1 Tamworth (Southport win 4-2 on penalties)
Wrexham 5-2 Macclesfield Town
Barnet 4-1 Chelmsford City

Bad result for Nuneaton but hardly a surprise as they are awful. Heartbreak for Spennymoor who were minutes away from winning the first game against Telford. Canvey Island fail to join neighbours Concord Rangers in the first round.

Revised draw:
Mansfield Town v Concord Rangers
Gosport Borough v Colchester United
Yeovil Town v Crawley Town
York City v AFC Wimbledon

Barnsley v Burton Albion
Hartlepool United v East Thurrock United
Coventry City v Worcester City

Lots of horrible north/south journeys in there, which is a shame for all concerned. Barnet v Wycombe looks tasty

Replays:


Hemel Hempstead Town 2-0 Nuneaton Town


Bad result for Nuneaton but hardly a surprise as they are awful. Heartbreak for Spennymoor who were minutes away from winning the first game against Telford. Canvey Island fail to join neighbours Concord Rangers in the first round.

The goals from the Hemel Nuneaton replay:


Nice kids pitch invasion at the end.

Turns out Hemel have qualified for the first round before. Last time in 1938 when they were still known as Apsley United.

Hope Lincoln knackered themselves scoring five as FGR have them Saturday

Doubt it, Alfreton are in the midst of an injury crisis and at one stage were struggling to name a goalie.

Hope this continues, we play them soon

Lincoln are shit though so wouldn't worry too much

Warrington-Exeter on BBC2 on Friday.

 

[JimW]

Got my ticket for FGR home to Scunthorpe on Sunday. The Alex have Blades tomorrow.

 

[Onket]

Swindon are away at Cheltenham. I expect we'll lose.

 

[JimW]

Night in watching the Grecians against the other team in Warrington

 

[big eejit]

Daniel Meirion Walker - Warra cunt.

 

[JimW]

St Danny at Crewe, what a bonus!

Warrington-Exeter on BBC2 on Friday.

As someone who doesn't follow these things, why is this match on prime time BBC2? I'm loving that it is though, feels like Saturday afternoon in the 1980's.

 

[JimW]

AFAIK the BBC bought rights to all cup games so want to get money's worth, plus romance of the cup.

 

[Gerry1time]

I'm loving it I must say.

 

[JimW]

Will this twat stop calling a win here the "ultimate dream" for Warrington? Winning the cup would be ultimate.

 

[JimW]

Warrington were always my outside tip. Ahem.
Great stuff

 

[Gerry1time]

I never doubted them for a minute, but only because I'd not heard of them before.

 

[JimW]

Horrible long drive back to Exeter after that

 

[big eejit]

Great result for Warrington. Robbie Savage's punditry made me long for Andy Townsend.

 

[Onket]

Bugger. Forgot that was on.

 

[JimW]

Alex and Blades ended 0-0, what the hell happened to Swindon? ETA, oh, I see, an early sending off.

 

[agricola]

Southend, you have disgraced yourselves.

 

[Onket]

Swindon are away at Cheltenham. I expect we'll lose.

 

[belboid]

Sorry, JTG, but wtf, our first win under Micky!

Undoubtedly because of the support I showed for Tranmere, by shopping at Home Bargains today.
