hypochondriac Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 You love to see that. That's why the FA cup can still be great because of the strength in depth in our league system. Watching that game was brilliant. Good knock for ipswich too so win win. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 That was unreal. I know a few people who were there today in the away end, must have been incredible. Absolutely brilliant for the club and the fans who trawled around the Kent League watching them in the 90's after they went bust. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Pleased for Maidstone. The result is good not only for them but the competition as a whole. Reinforces the spirit of the FA Cup. People will remember this result long after the yawnfest of another Arsenal/Liverpool/Man City/Chelsea final. (Which I’d go out of my way to avoid watching). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Love those sort of games/results, once in a lifetime thing for Maidstone there! For all their effort they deserved that! It kind of regrounds football a little bit. Much better than those bore fests last night (Chelsea/Villa, Spurs/Man City) Edited January 27 by S-Clarke 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can be superior by every metric apart from goals and end up drawing or losing games. We've certainly won some games in the past that you can't believe we managed to win and where you could easily claim that the other team were better but didn't have let decisions go for them (that didn't happen on this case obviously.)

I'm absolutely delighted Ipswich lost and it was a brilliant David v Goliath result but you really must be on some strong meds if you think Maidstone were the better side. Ipswich absolutely battered them and this was one of those games that every Ipswich player out there will be saying in years to come "i can't believe we lost that" It was a freak result, a mixture of cup magic, great goalkeeping, piss poor finishing and every Maidstone prayer being answered.

Just because a team wins a game doesnt mean they were the better side! Absolutely, the first period of that game was relentless by Ipswich - chance after chance, attack after attack. I think they hit the post 3 times, and the bar once. Like you say, one of those games. They should have been at least 4 up at HT given their dominance, they just couldn't finish. Second half they ran out of ideas a bit I felt, certainly after the 2nd Maidstone goal - they seemed to be passing it around without much purpose, but the game should have been out of sight by then tbh.

Just because a team wins a game doesnt mean they were the better side! How does it not? I fail to see how they were the better team because they pissed away a bunch of chances. You can't be telling me that constantly failing to do the thing that is defined as the object of the game somehow entitles you to be the better team?? If they couldn't finish, they wern't the better team. Maidstone scored 2. Ipswich scored 1. Maidstone were better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BARCELONASAINT Posted January 28 Share Posted January 28 Ok Bad Wolf and Whitey I have a question for you as i am really struggling to understand your logic here. I'm guessing both of you at some point have played competitive football at some level. Are you telling me that neither of you have walked of the pitch at full time and shook your heads in amazement that you have just lost a game you completely dominated and outplayed the opposition yet nothing went for you in front of goal and the opposition have scored from the only chance they had. Then the opposition players say to you as they are trudging off '' we don't know how we won that you were by far the better team" OR The complete opposite where you have played in a game and been battered and outplayed but have won the game and come off admitting "the opposition were the better team" and "we got away with one today lads" Are you seriously telling me that every game Saints have won we were the BETTER team because with more than 50 years of watching Saints i can tell you we have won games where we were definitely NOT the better team and to believe anything different is just being arrogant!

We were never that good a team although there was one game where we dominated midfield and the other team said that we had played well. We lost two nil. It all depends on what you consider 'playing well'. Stringing lots of passes together might look good but to what effect? That's not to say that I consider the result to be the be all and end all. I like some excitement in the opposition penalty area, some chances of a goal or two. Some movement with purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
