Interesting conundrumdrumdrumdrum following last night's replay. I had adopted Horsham, following their win at Chippenham - and with a following wind, might have had to ponder the prospect of my adopted team playing there in the 3rd round against my OWN team. What's that all about then?? Obviously, now I am saddled with the principle of being nice to Swans, at their nice big house, while they flap around against the Hawks... 'elp!

Has there been any announcement on who IS going to be televised yet? Or could they move the fixture to accommodate both Tinpot outfits?

Ok, seeing as my team beat one from 5 divisions gigher I should have posted by now: 2nd round: Port Vale 1[glow=white,2,300] Chasetown 1[/glow] Attendance: 5875 An equaliser keeps Southern League side Chasetown's giant-killing dreams alive with a replay at home to look forward to. From what I've ehard from people at the match chasetown matched their league 1 opponents for much of it. Report: www.chasetownfc.com/scripts/fixtures.asp?matchid=67
2nd Round Replay: [glow=white,2,300] Chasetown 1[/glow] Port Vale 0Attendance: 1986 Chasetown reach the 3rd round of the FA Cup for the first time in their history after bridging a 5 division gap in the 2nd round replay against Full Timers Port Vale. A late goal by Danny Smith in the 89th minute sealed the game, hitting home from a cross by former AFC Telford striker Kyle Perry. Port Vale were awarded two penalties in the second half, former Shr*sbury player Luke Rodgers blasted the 1st one over and passed the 2nd straight to the keeper. Report: www.chasetownfc.com/scripts/fixtures.asp?matchid=72Below is a link to a team talk before the match by Chasetown manager Charlie Blakemore. news.bbc.co.uk/player/sol/newsid_7140000/newsid_7140900/7140957.stm?bw=bb&mp=wm&news=1&bbcws=1
Next up in the 3rd round Chasetown face a home tie against Championship side Cardiff City on Saturday 5th of January.

Well the first post said that we followed it through until (quote) "the overpaid nancy boys from the premier league take over from us." I would guess that means the third round for most of us, except for Giggy with Chasetown and a.n.other( ) who has the Hawks. Oxford bowed out at Sarfend, so ending my "non-league" involvement in the real world, though in my FM2005 game Southend slid into the Conference for "this" season while Oxford are in League 1! I've only ever seen Southend play once, when they lost at Walsall's old Fellow's Park ground over a quarter of a century ago in the old 3rd Division! My only visit to Southend's Roots Hall ground was not for football but to watch Southend Invicta RLFC play Swinton in the Rugby League 2nd division one sunday back in 83/4 season. Ryan Giggs's dad Danny Wilson was playing at stand-off for the visitors. It rained all the way down there. I had intended to take a walk along Southend Pier only to find that there was a massive gap in the middle of it where the sea had cut the walkway in half leaving what appeared to be tramlines suspended over the abyss

and I must say a bloody MASSIVE WELL DONE to CHASETOWN after they scored in the last minute to beat Port Vale 1-0. I should also have added MY congrats to this. After all, Chasetown are about 5-10 minutes away from where i live. With Heath Hayes exploits in the FA Vase this season, it seems that Hednescum will soon officially be Cannock's THIRD team ;D For many years while waiting for Radio Stoke's "blink and you've missed it" interview with whichever manager SRFC had at the time i suffered the seemingly interminable ramblings of John Rudge, The World's Second Most Boring Man After Dario Gradi and to see the club that not only inflicted this tedious presence upon me but then charged both me and my Father ( a pensioner) Full Football League Price for a sodding Staffs Senior Cup game suffer such embarrasment filled me with massive glee (Lord Buddha forgive me) My pleasure somewhat evaporated when folk at work decided to use Chasetown's victory as a stick to beat me with as it proved how crap Stafford Rangers are!

Annoying when people use your passion back against you; when, once in a blue moon, the tiny lap dog down the road happens to see-off your own beloved Doberman... Hope it's all good-natured, otherwise these are people to be avoided! [OASN, someone on the ConfForum recently saw through the next 15 years or so on his FM2007 or whatever. Apparently Salisbury City are still in the Conference in 2020! Amazing!! ;D Especially if today's performance was anything to go by... ]

Speaking of FM I can tell you that World Cup 2010 will be England's year. My game on FM07 correctly predicted the sacking of Steve McClaren after the correctly predicted dismal performance in Euro 2008. England were then led to a 2-1 victory over France in the World Cup Final by none other than..... ....well it wasn't me, I was awful at that game!

We are informed that, in the event of a draw in Swansea, the replay is shortlisted for live coverage. This is not an incentive really!
