Topic: The FA Cup 3rd Round

[Red_Mist]

Millwall v Palace could be interesting. 

As Barry Davies might say, “Very interesting”.

[Red_Mist]

Same with West Ham v Leeds, if the FA Cup allocations are still what they used to be?

[Charlie Adams fried egg]

Didn't their chairman also moan cos we only charged £15 for tickets which we were giving them and they wanted more money, the greedy bastards.

He moaned about a weakened side, even though that led to a replay.
As you say he then moaned about the prices - despite that fact that it was a bonus.
Apparently he was also quite obnoxious at Anfield too, cracking unfunny jokes and passively aggressively moaning that Klopp wasn't there.

To be filed under gobshite lacking self awareness. The kind of twat that goes on about respect, but shows none.

Edit: Funnily enough this came up on todays Talking Reds on The Wrap.
They reported us to the FA for fielding a weakened side in the replay, but seemed OK with the weakened team in the first game.
When he moaned about the prices for the replay, he obviously overlooked the fact that we have a domestic cup pricing policy that reduced for games against lower league opposition.

Such a prick, I mean we gave them a better chance of winning in two games ffs! Plus what sort of a dickish move is it to complain that your own fans aren't being charged more?!

Think they even moaned about their fans having to collect a late allocation of tickets from Goodison, all that long way across the park, if I remember right!

[Red Beret]

Don't suppose there's much chance of many tickets being on general sale for this?

[markedasred]

Wonder if they'll moan again?

Pretty sure they got close to a Million pounds from the 2 games. I bet there are a few other league one teams who would find a good use for that. The good news is they sacked the moaning disrespectful prick Sam Ricketts, with the new manager being Steve Cotterill.

Sweet! Play the under 18's.

No need.
Play the tea ladies.

Can't remember the last 3PM FA Cup game we had, home or away. Would be nice, though.

Barnsley in 2008 ? Have we had another since then ?

[disgraced cake]

Sunday 9th, 2pm, not on telly in the UK ...

[red_Mark1980]

Anyone want to take a guess why they've done that? Because I've got no idea

Did we lose that to a last min goal?

Yeh .. immediately after Martin Atkinson didn't give them a nailed on penalty they scored from outside the box

It's particularly odd in that the League cup semi finals are sandwiched in the midweek before and afterwards, so it's not like we're gaining a days rest by having the 3rd round tie on the Sunday, cos we'll lose that days rest on the other side.
Everton have an away tie too, so I don't know at all.

Presumably for overseas TV.
