ldv......your not a blues fan are you hehe?

 

[belboid]

(wow, this thread is already vastly more popular than last years equivalent!)

[belboid]

aaah, thats the Villa trophy cabinet aint it?

 

[holteman]

aaah, thats the Villa trophy cabinet aint it?

no we have trophys in ours....though st andrews does boast a mickey mouse cup to go with there league trophy...lucky devils!

the amount of money they save on trophy polish...no wonder we never have a transfer kitty

 

[belboid]

1-0!!

first goal for 400 odd minutes...

 

[JTG]

Villa fans would kill for any silverware wouldn't they?

ANyways, this is all terribly exciting. Poor old Bury are getting tanked at the Shay, Franchise FC have lost a two goal lead at home to Exeter, the C*ty are losing at Underhill and Forest are 3-2 down at Woking!

Bristol's premier side are 1-1 at Posh, extra time looms...

 

[JTG]

Franchise 3-2 up with a pen after Chris Vinnicombe (remember him and his transfer from Devon to Ibrox?) was sent off for Exeter.

 

[JTG]

Barnsley 1 Doncaster Rovers 5

There's a result they never thought they'd see in South Yorkshire when Barnsley were in the Prem and Donny languished in the Conference...

 

[flimsier]

You cunt.

I didn't even know. City are 30 minutes away and I didn't go.

 

[JTG]

You cunt.

I didn't even know. City are 30 minutes away and I didn't go.

It's OK, they'll be fielding a second string side. Not 'cos it's the LDV, just 'cos all their players seem to be helping police with their enquiries atm

 

[flimsier]

I take that back. A stupid competition.

 

[JTG]

Notts Cuntwipes seem to be going out at Sixfields, never a bad thing.

 

[flimsier]

Given the result and all...

 

[JTG]

jittug's LDV roundup - all the thrills, spills and shocks

OK, so in the least surprising result of the round, C*ty have crashed out to Barnet. That's twice the Bees have knocked them out of Cup competitions this season, hope they get drawn together in the FA Cup too

Swindle have managed to shock everyone and win a match, defeating Stevenage in the battle of the world's dullest towns.

Halifax have twatted Bury 6-1.

Cambridge are another Conference winner, 3-0 over Chester. Kiddy upset Darlo as well while Hereford won at Field Mill.

Crawley have taken Gillingham to extra time at Priestfield. Good, nobody likes Gillingham... Morecambe in extra time at grimsby, Dagenham & Redbridge similar at Wycombe, same for Accrington at Millmoor.

Prem sides don't know what they're missing out on (well Birmingham, West Brom, Wigan, Fulham and Man City do, they've played in it pretty recently )

 

[JTG]

It's a right ding dong at Bloomfield Road, Wrexham went 3-2 up in extra time, it's now 4-3 to Blackpool! Not even half time in extra time yet either.

Stanley have just gone ahead at Rotherham.

Rovers losing at London Road though

 

[JTG]

I take that back. A stupid competition.

Anyway, what he said

 

[flimsier]

Anyway, what he said

And it matters less to us given that we're going for...

oh

 

[belboid]

we havent been knocked out in the first round!

truly this is the start of the return of the deadly submariners!


only 40-1 for the title

 

[STFC]

Swindle have managed to shock everyone and win a match, defeating Stevenage in the battle of the world's dullest towns.

We'll take any win at the moment! Last time we played Stevenage was in the FA Cup on one of the wettest and windiest days I've ever experienced at football, and they beat us.

 

[rosa]

Boo fucking hoo, Oldham are out. Fucking good! It's a pointless worthless competition,i'm sure we must lose money by taking part in it cos only about 37 people and a giant owl turn up to the matches,and it speaks volumes about Brian Talbot's managerial 'genius' that he actually took the LDV Vans trophy seriously while we were plummeting down the league last year.

But,er,congratulations to trannmere and everything.

 

[belboid]

[belboid]

aaah, we're playing on Nov 22nd - so there's a date for ya diaries folks!

 

[bigbry]

How are Cambridge in the Northern Section when Northampton & Rushden are in Southern Section - Cambridge ahve to go past Northampton & Rushden to get to Doncaster

 

[JTG]

'cos the non league sides in it get split four teams in the south, four in the north to ensure there's an equal split of league and non league sides in each section.

Chester were in the southern section the other year and last year I remember Hereford being in the north - thought we'd be on for Rovers v Hereford in Cardiff at one stage.

 

[belboid]

we all geared up then?

let's hope the fog doesn't cause too many postponements!

 

[Bomber]

Come on you mighty Herefordians !!! Let's have the vale out and so creating a Port Fail bating day or two !!

 

[belboid]

oh yes!

a famous victory, even after trailing 2-1 at half time!


there's shirley no stopping us now!!!



[that's enough exclamation marks - ed]

 

[i_hate_beckham]

Come on you mighty Herefordians !!! Let's have the vale out and so creating a Port Fail bating day or two !!
