nta786 Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Well, might as well create a thread.... Plenty of teams playing today. Cardiff played yesterday and won 3-1 vs Colchester- and they only had 4000 fans turn up! We should have one of the highest attendances when we play. Hope for upsets of course, except when we play tomorrow! I really want to go to an away ground at a lower league club next round, providing we make it through!
Patrick Bateman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Why can't I find any matches on TV this year??

Patrick Bateman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 http://www.live-footballontv.com/ arsenal v hull on TV!!! really???? On Saturday I meant - there are no live matches today and then bloody all Premier League ties over the next few days. FFS. I want to watch Blyth Spartans and other such teams
Batman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 On Saturday I meant - there are no live matches today and then bloody all Premier League ties over the next few days. FFS. I want to watch Blyth Spartans and other such teams tranmere v swansea and wba v gateshead are online. pretty poor showing really
Dalek2003 Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 On Saturday I meant - there are no live matches today and then bloody all Premier League ties over the next few days. FFS. I want to watch Blyth Spartans and other such teams You would think that the TV schedulers would have worked out that the Cup is about Blyth Spartans etc at this stage and offers something different than all premier league ties. However, just confirms the view that they do not think football life exists or matters outside the Premier teams. Ahhhhh !
The9 Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 BBC still trying to wrap their heads around the idea that they don't have to show Prem clubs just because they can, and struggling with the idea that they've not already done their bit by showing live rounds before the third. I can't really complain about Arsenal v Hull though, it was last year's final after all.
Patrick Bateman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 At least I'm not alone in my anger about today; https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/tv-schedule-threatening-magic-of-the-cup-140315938.html
cellone Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 And yet they'll kick the arse out of The Magic and The Tradition of it all soon enough.

I can't really complain about Arsenal v Hull though, it was last year's final after all. Everton vs West Ham is an indescribably bad choice by BT. I hope it's a 0-0 snoozefest.
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 I can't really complain about Arsenal v Hull though, it was last year's final after all. Doesn't exactly represent the spirit of the FA Cup though, does it?

However, just confirms the view that they do not think football life exists or matters outside the Premier teams. Ahhhhh ! For the broadcasters, it's all about the ratings. Sadly more people will watch Arsenal v Hull than will watch Blyth Spartans v Birmingham, which is why the BBC picked it. They have to justify the cost of the rights by pulling in the viewers.

shurlock Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Gateshead stroking it around very impressively.
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 West Brom with an absolute robbery just before half-time, 2-0 up. Blyth also 2-0 up against Birmingham. Just as well we get to watch Arsenal v Hull and Everton v West Ham on TV...
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Half-Times: Barnsley 0-0 Middlesbrough (delayed 15 minutes due to suspected gas leak) Blyth Spartans 2-0 Birmingham City Bolton Wanderers 0-0 Wigan Athletic Brentford 0-0 Brighton & Hove Albion Cambridge United 1-0 Luton Town Charlton Athletic 0-1 Blackburn Rovers (delayed 15 minutes due to floodlight failure) Derby County 0-0 Southport Doncaster Rovers 0-0 Bristol City Fulham 0-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers Huddersfield Town 0-0 Reading Leicester City 1-0 Newcastle United Millwall 1-1 Bradford City Preston North End 0-0 Norwich City Rochdale 1-0 Nottingham Forest Rotherham United 1-1 Bournemouth Tranmere 0-1 Swansea City West Bromwich Albion 2-0 Gateshead

Batman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Says who, the BBC are the ones that don't have to do that. they probably do
Batman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 phew, derby score a penalty and keep my accy alive
TheCholulaKid Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Says who, the BBC are the ones that don't have to do that. Of course they do. Poor ratings and they get accused of wasting licence fee money.
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Today's results: Barnsley 0-2 Middlesbrough Blyth Spartans 2-3 Birmingham City Bolton Wanderers 1-0 Wigan Athletic Brentford 0-2 Brighton & Hove Albion Cambridge United 2-1 Luton Town Charlton Athletic 1-2 Blackburn Rovers Derby County 1-0 Southport Doncaster Rovers 1-1 Bristol City Fulham 0-0 Wolverhampton Wanderers Huddersfield Town 0-1 Reading Leicester City 1-0 Newcastle United Millwall 3-3 Bradford City Preston North End 2-0 Norwich City Rochdale 1-0 Nottingham Forest Rotherham United 1-5 Bournemouth Tranmere Rovers 2-6 Swansea City West Bromwich Albion 7-0 Gateshead
Batman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Any real upsets ? Forest perhaps. Forest are out. lost away to rochdale, Pearce must be under real pressure now WBA thumped Gateshead. Pulis put a very strong side out and got the desired result, get the club back to winning ways with a big one Swansea won easily after merson had a right pop at their line up (despite most of the players all featuring this season in the prem) Blyth were 2-0 at HT to lose to brum no real upsets...Derby nearly drew at home to southport but a 90+min penalty, saved them
stevegrant Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 The only ones in terms of current league position were Brighton (15 places below), Cambridge (10), Leicester (10), Preston (19) and Rochdale (21).

Meh. Leicester was a good result lol, especially after hearing Carver saying they would take this seriously because they haven't won a trophy in god knows how many years...
Batman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Don't we play newcastle soon? Reckon they might be in more of a mess by then
dave watson Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Anyone know when the draw is for the next round (not tempting fate I hope!) Dosen't appear to be Monday night at 7 as the first 3 rounds were. Thanks
Turkish Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 At least I'm not alone in my anger about today; https://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/blogs/pitchside-europe/tv-schedule-threatening-magic-of-the-cup-140315938.html I sent a strongly worded tweet to itv sport earlier today expressing my fury.
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Anyone know when the draw is for the next round (not tempting fate I hope!) Dosen't appear to be Monday night at 7 as the first 3 rounds were. Thanks Monday night before AFC Wimbledon vs Liverpool on BBC1.
Batman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Monday night before AFC Wimbledon vs Liverpool on BBC1. Liverpool on telly again? nooo waaaay
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Liverpool on telly again? nooo waaaay 'Cause everybody like to watch Liverpool, don't they? I only watch it to see them lose
Lets B Avenue Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 'Cause everybody like to watch Liverpool, don't they? I only watch it to see them lose I prefer to watch liverpool.
RedWillie Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Can someone explain what's going on at B'mth ?..top of the championship and scoring for fun, real chance of playing them next year in the PL
Batman Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Can someone explain what's going on at B'mth ?..top of the championship and scoring for fun, real chance of playing them next year in the PL it appears so
nta786 Posted 3 January, 2015 Author Posted 3 January, 2015 I was wondering, but does it say as a PL Requirement, stadium capacity must be at least 15k? If Bournemouth do get promoted, then what do they do? They have an 11k seater I think.

They have an 11k seater I think. also, imagine if Brentford go up also....a lot of rules being re-written me thinks (if they make it)
cellone Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 Would bring a fair bit of work in to the area for both of them. Desk and tool.
Whitey Grandad Posted 3 January, 2015 Posted 3 January, 2015 I was wondering, but does it say as a PL Requirement, stadium capacity must be at least 15k? If Bournemouth do get promoted, then what do they do? They have an 11k seater I think. Correct, 15,000 minimum. I would imagine they would have to extend pretty quickly or play at a bigger stadium. Can you think of one?

If Bournemouth do get promoted, then what do they do? They have an 11k seater I think. Surely they could throw up a steel construction behind one of the goals with an extra couple of thousand seats in, pretty quickly? (i.e. from the moment they know about promotion)
Crazy Diamond Posted 4 January, 2015 Posted 4 January, 2015 Listening to Dover vs Palace... My God the Palace fans' one chant is annoying.
Aziz Yebda Posted 4 January, 2015 Posted 4 January, 2015 ****ING DOVER NEED TO STEP THIS UP OR THE THREE POINTS IS LOST
Saint_clark Posted 4 January, 2015 Posted 4 January, 2015 Hope Pardew keeps Palace up and Newcastle slip back down into the relegation fight, the way the Geordies treated Pardew was disgusting and SO hypocritical. Where have those "Pardew out" signs been for the last month or two?
nta786 Posted 4 January, 2015 Author Posted 4 January, 2015 Sheffield United beating QPR 2-0 at Loftus Road... And Sunderland beating Leeds.
