Now, don't be a bully, Loy: he didn't have to go Aye, we were at home. Now I must brace myself for the arduous midweek trip to Hounslow, possibly the grimmest part of the grimmest city on the planet. You have my sympathies. My boyfriend lives around there (he's a bit of a Brentford fan as it happens) and I'm tired of the place!

Wise words indeed! Other than the rogue apostrophe in "its" of course I am currently eating a hearty FA Cup breakfast, which is a tradition of mine and a rather sensible one it has proved to be. Stops me getting too drunk or feeling sick, for a start ;D Well it didn't bloody work.

Am I dreaming, or did I get yelled at by some random Welling fans?

Good day out, butour lads didn't really do themselves justice to be honest.
Whether it was the fact that Accrington's ground was worse than most of those we visit during the season, but in the 1st half it didnt feel as though our players realised they were playing an FA Cup 1st Round match.
Much better in the 2nd half, and a neat Tubbsy finish to make it 2-1 with half an hour to go, but the damage had been done really.

The Sutton-ites had a grand day out at Hereford, and I even mananged a pint in Wales on the way there. ;D
Our players gave a good account of themselves, and had 49% of the possession - though Hereford did help us a bit by having their centre forward sent off in the first half. Unfortunately he'd already scored by then, and they got a second from the penalty spot a few minutes from time.
Some of us met up with Daza in Worcester on the way home, and that made for a conivivial break in a rather long journey. (I hope the cyclist who narrowly escaped serious injury or worse as we emerged from the Plough is now OK.)

AFC Telford United 1-3 Lincoln City Attendance: 2809
Still not sure how we lost this game, first half was an even enough affair with Lincoln grabbing a goal along the way, their player picking up the loose ball after Ryan Young parried the first shot. Telford came out all guns blazing in the second half and the Lincoln goal was under constant bombardment. The inevitable equaliser came through a Liam Blakeman header, ironically on the day he admitted in the matchday programme he hated heading the ball since an incident where he fractured his cheekbone and eye socket. This seemed to spur Telford on further and at this point there only looked to be one winner. Being the funny old game that football is, however, Lincoln picked up the ball and with literally their first attack of the second half took the lead again. Telford battled on for an equaliser and perhaps over-stretched near the end as Lincoln grabbed a third. Overall we had the best of the chances but credit to Lincoln for taking their chances when they got them, their finishing being the key difference between the teams.
Overall thought we had easily done at least enough for a replay. Not too down though, after an indifferent start performances look to be improving and hopefully we can start picking up points. We can take some comfort in that we put on a good, enjoyable game of football in front of 2809 spectators, gave a great performances and for much of the game outplayed a team from two divisions above...... even if they hadn't previously won a cup game for years..... as my friend from Lincoln felt the need to point out.
