If you value it so highly, why don't you make him an offer? He's already stated a reason, yet you keep pressing him as if the sale was for a car with no V5!

Indeed. To avoid this scramble every week, maybe people should have to apply to a designated mod for this privilege. He could then allocate matches, perhaps based on the quality of recent posts.

They are more interested in the first match than the replay? What garbage! At first, I wondered why you had used the word recent; then I realised. You needed to exclude the one magical event which shoots your argument down in flames. It is, of course, this...

Not off hand. Have you tried using a search engine?

Don't you see what has been happening? Chopping and changing FA Cup traditions led to disrespect of the competition which meant weakened teams fielded, resulting in unwanted replays at non-League grounds. Your solution? start the cycle again by chopping those replays, depriving those two clubs...

The correct time for an FA Cup draw is 12.30pm on the Monday, in the austere surroundings of FA headquarters. It could be broadcast on the radio, but never televised!

I also drove from Mansfield, with a neutral friend. No doubt if we had had the internet then, we could have doubled up! BTW, how long do you expect to live?

I think you are confusing everyone here! My post was concerned with the notion that redevelopment of the double-decker stand may have taken place; your post seems to suggest that indeed it has (twice). :)

Is that some sort of drug, or is it maybe slang for the dole?

There's no excuse for this fixturing, a post was made on this thread Stoke game live less than 3 hours before.

Well, it's only obvious to me that you won't be able to get a free link. But you can get it via Seagulls' World; a one month subscription at £3.99 will also cover the glut of Albion fixtures coming up too.

Really? I wouldn't, for one. But that's because I don't view the big club matches as the most attractive.

So, the club starting with the disadvantage of being drawn away would be further penalised by having the extra time and maybe the penalties also on hostile territory. Do you not understand the romance of the FA Cup, the sort that granted a replay for Exeter City after drawing at Old Trafford...

Maybe we could all bring torches to the night games.

When will the FA get it into its thick head that it is the changes it has already made that have led to its demise. It started off with moving fixtures to accommodate live TV, then televising the draw (and moving its traditional Monday lunchtime slot). Then, second replays were allowed to be...

If that is so, then happy birthday to the young lady in question. The disturbing thing is, however, that when the photo was taken she was 14; when Ninja started this thread, he was 21.

Thanks for posting that Tom, Storer's post implied that the double-decker job had been replaced by the single!

Are you referring to The Big Smoke as opposed to just The Smoke? I thought he was getting it mixed up with The Big Apple.

In my emerging senility I was wondering why nobody rebuked this, but have only now remembered that the semis are indeed at Wembley! Doesn't seem right somehow. Still, the FA know best how to run their most prestigious competition.......

Are you exiled?
