FA Cup Third Round

[jonahjones]

Goals as they go in!

Unfortunately Vegy, unless they occur at Macclesfield's Moss Rose, there will be no vivid descriptions. :)

[jonahjones]

No goals in the opening ten minutes of any of the twenty two 3.00pm kick-offs.

However, a special mention is due to League One side Hartlepool who earlier today knocked-out Premier League Stoke City 2-0 at Victoria Park ensuring that, whatever happens from now, there will be at least one third-round shock.

Bad luck Mat.

City are where they are in the Premier League due mainly to their away form. They are quite strong at home.

I didn't see that one coming!

[mathare]

Bad luck MatCheers. That's football and gambling I guess. I took 16/1 about them each-way a while ago now as it looked as though they were starting to get it together and I figured with a few decent signings in the January window they could have a good stab at some silverware. I think Hughes needs something to go his way soon if he is to last out the season. I have Man City for the UEFA Cup too...

You know what football's like Mat, City will probably go far in the UEFA Cup.

Just look at today, Derby almost came a cropper against non-league opposition in the third round of the FA Cup. Their next match is against none other than World Club Champions Manchester United in the semi-final of the Carling Cup!

Preston v Liverpool underway.

I actually find it quite ironic that Gerrard's first game after being released on Police bail is in Preston bearing in mind that the nightclub in which the incident took place has a Preston postcode! :)

[scoobydoo]

I think I can tear up my ante-post voucher for Man City to win the FA Cup now then ;fire

Unlucky Mat. Does anyone know what price Forest were at 3-0 on Betfair? I would think it would've been some price eh.:ooo

[jonahjones]

Albert Riera puts Liverpool ahead with a tremendous strike into the top-corner of the net.

I could've scored that. :D Looks a bit one-sided at the moment eh.:anger

[vegyjones]

I'm glad Southend equalised at Stamford Bridge otherwise Man City would have been the only let down in a big accumulator! :(

And Orient made it to the 4th round draw! :happyboun

Hope we don't draw a good'un only to be knocked out! :(

[scoobydoo]

Keane proves again what a donkey he can be these days.:rolleyes: This game should be over already.

[jonahjones]

Preston 0 Liverpool 1 at half-time.

I see Robbie Keane's reverted to type.

Could have had a hatful by now!

[scoobydoo]

I'll be amazed if Liverpool dont get a couple more in this game, havent had a bet but I think evens on overs here is pretty good.

[peza2605]

I think I can tear up my ante-post voucher for Man City to win the FA Cup now then ;fire

that was a joke right??:laugh

[jonahjones]

Substitute Fernando Torres seals victory for Liverpool with a breakaway goal which proves to be the last kick of the game.

[jonahjones]

Villa lead League Two side Gillingham 1-0 at half-time courtesy of a goal fron James Milner.

[jonahjones]

Gillingham equalise with a great turn and finish by Simeon Jackson!

This is what the FA Cup is all about! :)

James Milner restores Villa's lead from the penalty spot.

[jonahjones]

Manchester United take the lead at St. Mary's with a point-blank header from teenager Danny Wellbeck after Southampton goalkeeper, Kelvin Davis, had knocked a John O'Shea header onto the crossbar.

[jonahjones]

Southampton reduced to ten men after a red card issued to Matthew Patterson for a very high challenge on Nemanja Vidic.

[jonahjones]

Nani extends United's lead from the spot following a very dubious award of a penalty.

Was it a pen jonah? Ian Holloway is going ape on the radio.

thats better

[jonahjones]

Darren Gibson makes it three after some lovely work from Wayne Rooney.

[peza2605]

perhaps i should now let go of the hurt of 1976??

[Win2Win]

So Liverpool are through what about the rest? :D

[jonahjones]

Was it a pen jonah? Ian Holloway is going ape on the radio.

Never a penalty Scoob, it hit his head. Having said that, he shouldn't have had his hand raised in the first place.

[jonahjones]

Backed four goals or more.

Really annoyed with the attitude of Nani and Berbatov towards the end as they appeared disinterested when through on goal and opted to go backwards every time or, in Berbatov's case, play a wayward ball instead of shooting. ::swear

Rooney had the desire to make something happen every time he got the ball and was seen berating team-mates because of their poor attitude.

[Mattw07]

So Liverpool are through what about the rest? :D

So are forest :) cant get better then that draw!

[jonahjones]

So are forest :) cant get better then that draw!

Just hope it isn't refereed by Stuart Atwell. :yikes:

[mathare]

perhaps i should now let go of the hurt of 1976??Was my birth that traumatic for you? :doh

[Win2Win]

Was my birth that traumatic for you? :doh
It was for the midwife who is still in the asylum! :thumbs

[jonahjones]

Blue Square Premier North outfit Blyth Spartans are holding Premier League Blackburn Rovers 0-0 at half-time at Croft Park.

[jonahjones]

Blackburn take the lead in the fifty ninth minute with a quality free-kick from Chilean Carlos Villanueva who is immediately substituted.

[jonahjones]

Blackburn prevail 1-0 and will return to the North-East to face Sunderland in the fourth-round.

A spirited display by the non-leaguers but it was mostly huff and puff with Blackburn not seriously troubled until the last five minutes when the home side squandered a glorious chance to equalise.

[jonahjones]

Charlton take the lead at Norwich as Crewe do likewise at home to Millwall.

[jonahjones]

Millwall equalise almost immediately at Crewe and Swansea take the lead at Histon.

[jonahjones]

West Bromwich Albion go ahead at Peterborough with a goal from on-loan Jay Simpson as Leyton Orient take the lead at home to Sheffield United!!! :yikes:

[jonahjones]

Peter Crouch puts holders Pompey ahead at Bristol City, Swansea get a second at Histon and Wolves go in front away to Birmingham.

[jonahjones]

West Brom add a second at Peterborough to ease any concerns they may have had about a potential shock.

The only shock-material at half-time comes at Brisbane Road where Vegy's boys lead a Beattie-less Sheffield United 1-0.

[jonahjones]

The early stages of the second-half see Millwall come from behind at Crewe to lead 2-1 but Crewe respond quickly to make it 2-2, Wolves go 2-0 up at St. Andrews, QPR take the lead at Turf Moor and Sheffield United equalise at Leyton Orient - sorry Vegy. :(

[jonahjones]

Burnley equalise at home to QPR and Sheffield United get a quickfire second and third at Brisbane Road.

[jonahjones]

Sheffield United now running riot as they add a fourth.

Histon pull one back against Swansea.

Nine matches currently in progress, eight of which with lee than ten minutes left, and not one home team in front.

[jonahjones]

Millwall go ahead once again at Crewe and Pompey kill-off Bristol City on the counter-attack with a goal from Niko Kranjcar.

[jonahjones]

Full-time arrives without a home victory in sight!

Extra time currently being played at Turf Moor.

Wolves, Portsmouth, Millwall, Swansea, Sheffield United, Charlton and West Brom all progress to round four.

Cheltenham and Doncaster will replay at the Keepmoat Stadium.

[jonahjones]

Burnley snatch a winner in the last minute of extra-time.

[vegyjones]

We were a bit of a shambles in the second half, and after producing such a good first half performance :(

Trying to stop the boys getting so much flack on the Orient messageboard, but to no avail!
