FA Cup: still interested

Although not the excitement of previous years, still nice to watch what is the greatest sporting competition in the world from the outside. Hope there are 'romantic' ties drawn today!

No interest.:sad:

I'll just get pissed off at any side from our level getting a good draw. Although I do want Donny/Mansfield to get a good draw, because hopefully then it will be on the Donny players mind on Tuesday night.

No interest at all..

Perhaps it was because we were out but even the games didn't seem to be David and Goliath ones yesterday..

Like it how Sky Sports were giving the FA Cup results AFTER the Scottish 3rd Division!

In fact for the first time in my life I do believe I am slightly going off football fullstop...

As long as our relegation rivals don't get any of the big teams that is fine by me.. all we need is one of them to get a 500k bonus and bring in a good loanee and we are dooooomed.

Salisbury have just equalised against Forest on the telly, so I'm just that little bit interested.

interested in two teams in the draw, to see who Brighton get after having the easiest of easy routes to round 3, and also the donny/mansfield one, donny move into their new ground pn Jan 1st and I get a feeling they will get a biggun at home and fill their spanking new ground :sad:

Three of the so-called top four involved in all-premiership ties, with Liverpool and Arsenal against each other.

There goes any romance. :rolleyes:

Orient have a tough match at Torquay which if they win get at trip to Southampton which nowadays isn't that great

Millwall still gotta play Bradford at home and then get a glamorous trip to...stokelol

Bournemouth have got to see off Bristol Rovers before going to Hereford.

Not too bad, although B'muff should beat Rovers at home and if they beat Hereford (easier said than done) have the potential to get a big name club, but all in all our rivals all have replays

Which gives us a weekend off

Probably the dullest third round draw I can remember. Absolutely no interest, in fact I've just this minute discovered the draw had been made, what happened to the return to the tradition Mon lunchtime draw like last year.
Of course the Beeb will trawl out some stories to try and drum up interest ie. Paul Ince going to Chelsea, Martin O'Neill taking on his boyhood heroes, as for L'pool - Arse well that'll be just another routine boring 0-0.
In fact I'm so lacking interest I haven't watched MOTD for about six weeks.
However back to normality Tues night.

i've got a feeling it's Monday lunchtime from now on, but that the 3rd round draw has always been on the Sunday afternoon... could be wrong...

Really?

Id have thought that so many all premiership ties that smaller clubs would have a better chance of doing well and getting towards the latter stages.

And how can you doubt the magic of the cup after the last two cup runs we had?

Southampton,Sunderland and Charlton and we competed with them all,and had a great time being in the spotlight.
Also had some very memorable other games,like the Hartlepool Replay,Stockport Away,Bristol City on penalties etc etc...

FSS we nearly had a QF with ManYoo!

The FA Cup is everything that is right about football,it's the greatest competition in the world,and I loves it :love2: :wave:

At home to Bolton :rolleyes:

As we've had our ration of cup glory for the next decade in the previous two seasons there's no point in bothering. Interest in this competition is rapidly fading I think.
 

FA Cup: still interested

soon we'll be talking about whether we'll got a shot at the big guns in the 1st round :cry:
 

FA Cup: still interested

not interested.

come on SALLIS BURY :fishing:
 

FA Cup: still interested

can't believe some people say the magic has gone, you try telling that to a Macclesfield fan, we think we have it bad at the moment, how do you think there fans feel, then they go and pull Chelsea out of the hat, good luck to them and their hardcore 2000 followers.
 

FA Cup: still interested

I wonder if Chelski will let them keep all the gate receipts, its a shame we never get luck like this but they need it more than us right now as they are adrift at the bottom of the division, fantastic for them and their fans

So why isn't a tie like Macclesfield v Chelsea on the telly yet Manchester United v Aston Vanilla is?

Its ridiculous. Smaller teams dream of the third round as to who they can get, they also want the coverage on the telly, yet it gets given to the ones that appear on it more often than not.

Same reason we wasn't on last year v Charlton, because the Premier League team is at home :wave:
 

FA Cup: still interested

I am annoyed and heavily pissed off that Norwich get to go on telly. Norwich are not a big club why would anyone care, plus I'll now have to put up with it for weeks. Come on Tamworth.

What like? Chelsea V Macclesfield? If so, it may be because there is no chance of an upset here, whereas their is in the Tamworth fixture.
