Sedge Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 No luck here either Inver. The rain which started in October and hasn't let up for more than a day at a time since has put paid to another game. We've had two matches in the last six weeks - April and May are going to be busy! Quote
itsmeagain Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Fabulous achievement by Bradford city in beating Aston Villa this week to get to the league cup final. Quote
chaliepud Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 And Luton Town beating Norwich City today to get through to the next round of the FA Cup, a great achievement for my husbands team! . Lets hope Chelsea can manage Brentford tomorrow... Quote
itsmeagain Posted January 26, 2013 Posted January 26, 2013 Brilliant by Luton Town. And MK Dons beat QPR 4 2 away from home. Quote
chaliepud Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I don't want Chelsea to meet MK Dons any time soon then!! Quote
Ben Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 I don't want Chelsea to meet MK Dons any time soon then!! Lucky they're still in the competition, never mind thinking about further rounds. Quote
chaliepud Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Tell me about it!!! Nerves were shredded by the end of that!! Quote
Ben Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Tell me about it!!! Nerves were shredded by the end of that!! Torres saving the day, true fairytale material. Quote
chaliepud Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Hmm Torres.... Maybe if they'd not patronised Brentford and put a more decent side on in the first place, and why are they not putting Ba on till the last 5/10 mins?!! Quote
Inver Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Been a few upsets in the footie this weekend. Celtic beaten 3-1 by St Mirren too.... nae luck...lol. Quote
Alexi Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Poor Luton, made it into the 5th round and rewarded with Millwall at home! Also good cupset work from Oldham in the late game. Quote
chaliepud Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Oh my Luton v Millwall is a return of the grudge matches of the 80's and 90's, there used to be so much crowd trouble at those matches, my hubby, his Dad ans other Luton fans were chased away from the ground once! Lets hope tey all behave this time, I expect there'll be a large police presence just in case.. Quote
Ben Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Good old Oldham, can never complain about seeing Liverpool beaten if I'm honest, and it was a great game. Love me some FA Cup football, always brings the drama and this weekend has been no different. Tottenham out, Liverpool out, Norwich out to Luton, Arsenal struggled, as did Chelsea.. comfortable 4-1 for us so no complaints there (and Reading in the next round shouldn't cause too many problems). Quote
chaliepud Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Never underestimate Reading Ben! I'll be cheering for them anyways!! Quote
Alexi Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 You should never underestimate United's ability to shoot themselves in the foot in the FA Cup!! I suspect you're right about the police presence Chalie I was spat at when I visited a rivals ground as a 17-year-old girl and I still don't feel safe attending a couple of grounds. Quote
Brian. Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 The Luton -Millwall game could well end up being a major trouble point. I wouldn't want to live around the ground the weekend of the game, that's for sure. Quote
Ben Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Oh by all means I'm not naive about United's ability to royally mess up in a game we'll be expected to win, but I fancy our chances nonetheless. Quote
Alexi Posted January 27, 2013 Posted January 27, 2013 Oh by all means I'm not naive about United's ability to royally mess up in a game we'll be expected to win, but I fancy our chances nonetheless. So do I hopefully!!!! Would be nice to do well in the cup this year. Quote
Ben Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 So do I hopefully!!!! Would be nice to do well in the cup this year. Certainly would. Well, got my ticket for Bradford and Swansea next month sorted. Wembley here I come. Quote
Inver Posted February 1, 2013 Posted February 1, 2013 Ever hopeful there will be footie this weekend! Although the pitches will be pretty soggy....wait and see Andy & Glendale have an outstanding cup game to play and U'15's due to play on Sunday....watch this space. Quote
Sedge Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 Hooray! It's our first sunny Saturday for months! And look - it's St Austell's first Saturday of the season without a scheduled match! Darn. Quote
Inver Posted February 2, 2013 Posted February 2, 2013 (edited) Day 1....Saturday....guess what it snowed last night....Glendale game off Day 2....Sunday.... pitches to be reinspected in the morning....update...game was on beat 5-2 though..ho hum. And my home team Raith Rovers put up a reasonable fight in their Scottish Cup tie v Celtric but lost out 0-3 at home Edited February 3, 2013 by Inver Quote
Sedge Posted February 5, 2013 Posted February 5, 2013 In by far the worst weather conditions of the year, we actually managed to play tonight and beat Falmouth Town 2-1! I think the biggest winner was the Falmouth groundsman who managed to get this game on in 70mph winds and driving rain - miracles can happen! Quote
Inver Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 So the moral of the story is....hope for bad weather to win your games Sedge.... Quote
Inver Posted February 6, 2013 Posted February 6, 2013 (edited) So Scotland's new manager Gordon Strachan takes charge of his first game v Estonia here at Pittodrie where he played for Aberdeen. Andy and a team mate from Glendale away to see the gamve tonight. Here is hoping they come home from watching Scotland win the game! ********************** Hoorah we won....1-0.
