Hold ups on motorway,lots of fog,Rubber face sent off after 6 Min's of coming on.They were very gracious in defeat tho ;D ;D ;D Er Ketch you are right they are bottlers in the 4th qualiys ;D ;D Oh and i had £20 @ 11/2 Well done Eastleigh (as already said on the book of face) and Sutton (congratulatory texts were sent). Shame Salisbury, Telford and the mighty Dons couldn't emulate that. Still, the replays beckon. Monday's going to be manic at the club. I work in the office and it's full steam ahead preparing for Tuesday night. |

Eastleigh 1st round ever. There was tears Yeah, it can get you like that. Quite a result, both in terms of yesterdays score and getting Eastleigh in the hat. Not much beats the excitement of waiting for the draw and thinking about all the potentials. By this time, I would usually be dreaming of Hartlepool away or some such. However if you're draw luck mirrors ours, then your first two trips to Cup first round territory will be against Conference Premier opposition. Still, Gateshead away could be reasonable in beano terms. Leeds away might see a touch more cash in the tin mind you. Enjoy the draw. Aylesbury almost betrayed their "lowest ranked club left" status yesterday to join the Beasty types in the first round, going 2-0 up within 12 mins against an initially pretty hapless Wealdstone. Sadly, it couldn't last, with a couple of trickling off-the-knee bobblers, a close range hammer blow and an absolute wonder individual goal getting the Stones through. Good game - just what you hope for when neutralling. |

You boys obviously got bored of seeing Doswell in the First Round draw with his new love   |

Aw, Nick - it's all old hat to you guys, but Eastleigh? St Mary's? Who knows! That would guarantee a few quid; whoever you get I wish you the very best of luck. I can feel a TT TOUR upcoming here - a first round game without H&W? Rare, innit! ;D Loud, mate. As Skif says - tears are fair enough when this sort of thing happens. You don't really know how to react! Enjoy.  |

Well done to all those "minnows and tin-pot outfits" that have made it to what us at Hucknall seems the totally unobtainable holy grail of the first round proper.
CONGRATULATIONS TO YOU ALL and hope you have the ability,good fortune and whatever else it takes, and that at least one of you get the sort of opportunity H&W had a couple of seasons ago.

I might have to get myself up to Gateshead for the First Round, so here's hoping that there will be a tinpot team there  Alternatively, if one of you lot would like to draw Darlo or Hartlepool then I could be there too. |

Still, Gateshead away could be reasonable in beano terms. Well, you get the big day out to some Connie Prem northerners then, so I was semi-prophetic. As I said, you've got to pay your dues in this Cup business. Couple more digs and then you qualify to host Millwall and lose money! Dare I say it, but whoever it ends up being, if you go about it right, the tie is definitely winnable. Hope all you Sutton fans enjoy the bull parade as well! |

Blyth Spartans 0-0 AFC Telford
As i said elsewhere i couldn't get to this one, though from what I've seen on the replay, heard on the radio and read on Buckschat the first half was fairly balanced without many real chances. Second half we went down to 10 men: replays show Blyth's Robbie Dale hitting on-loan Gavin Hurren. Hurren retaliated with a punch and was rightly shown a straight red, ref missed Dale's instigation of the events and avoided a deserved red of his own. Blyth went on to unleash attack after attack but a resolute defence and some heroic goalkeeping by Ryan Young kept us in the game.
Replay on Tuesday at the New Bucks Head. The winner earns the right to host Lincoln City in the next round.

You can't say that about Robbie Dale!
Robbie Dale is perfect in every way and is the Blythian equivalent of Jesus.

I bet you're hoping that Chester beat Barrow in the replay, Loud! And then that Chester don't fold before 7 November. Chester's a lovely city with some great pubs. |

Shame Salisbury, Telford and the mighty Dons couldn't emulate that. Still, the replays beckon. Yeah, bit of a frustrating day with the ref totally ruining what ought to have been an interesting and entertaining game. Morning downpour made the pitch very slippery but he took no account of the conditions, dished out a couple of yellows for innocuous tackles early on which made life very difficult for himself. We went down to 10 men after half an hour when our QPR loanee left back went off for 2 yellows. No complaints about the 2nd one but he shouldn't have already been on a card. Meant we had to reorganise and instead of going for it with 3 up front we sacrificed a striker to bring on a sub left back. Wasn't that impressed with Farnborough though considerng we were a man down for and hour with our game plan out the window and we should be confident of geting through tomorrow but with the Cup, who knows? |
