eelpie Posted 28 January, 2016 Share Posted 28 January, 2016 Saints relayed because of our intense rivalries Bompey or Pompey to win on Saturday? Who would you prefer? I hope Bournemouth thrash the Skates, and I certainly don't want the Skates to further increase their better cup history compared to us. And it would be fun to see Bournemouth to go all the way and see off the big teams, now that we are not involved. That's my view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick Bateman Posted 28 January, 2016 Share Posted 28 January, 2016 You have to wonder about some fans. There is one rivalry here, the other is just another team that happens to be on the south coast that some Saints fans also used to cheer for ...

Wes Tender Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 Really poor of the BBC in which games they chose. OK, Friday night's Derby vs MUFC is understandable, but Saturday, why choose Liverpool vs WHU? It's the FA Cup not the PL, and there are no commercial pressures on them to get advertising etc. The Skate supporting client I visited Monday (following our defeat of the Mighty Plastics and the 9 points, no goals conceded run) raised the same point. The Beeb make much of the romance of the FA Cup and began well enough by featuring lower division teams with the slogan "It's the FA Cup ; anything can happen." Anything can happen when Salford are featured because their owners were the cream of the Mighty Plastic team in their pomp, but that fascination in the possibility of a team from the depths of the footballing pyramid knocking out a top Premier League club seems to have disappeared. We have a draw between the last lowly team in the fourth division remaining in the competition, and one from the top flight. There is added interest caused by the fact that the lowly team, the Skates, won the thing as recently as 2008, when simultaneously Bournemouth were relegated at the end of that season to the fourth division, so that the teams have effectively swapped places. One wonders whether the match would have been televised had it been Salford playing Bournemouth. Actually, I'm pretty sure that it would have been. It's just that Bournemouth are unfashionable and not considered to be the draw that plastic glory clubs are, whereas the Skates for all of the recent cup glory, are largely an irrelevance nowadays. Regarding the OP, naturally I hope that Bournemouth stuff the skates. 4-1 has a nice ring to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doddisalegend Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 There's not actually anyone supporting pompey in this right? You'd really have to have tried hard to develop a dislike of bournemouth that severe already. Doubt any saints fans would even have to think about it.

igsey Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 0-0 would be nice, going to a replay where it goes to extra time before Bournemouth score 5 goals in the 30 added minutes.

BoscombeScummer Posted 29 January, 2016 Share Posted 29 January, 2016 I just got back from a trip to my old stomping grounds of Boscombe/Bournemouth and met a fair few decent Cherries fans who actually followed Saints as their second team and had done so for many years. This supposed hatred and 'rivalry' with Saints is very much down to newer fans I should think. (managed to get to St. Marys to see us completely demolish the arse on boxing day with my old man, what an xmas present that was! Amazing game.)
