The OFFICIAL Albion are playing LIVERPOOL (A) in the Fifth Round Thread

I'd rather get a draw, then win the replay at the Amex in front of 20,000 Albion

Jimmy Case OK

Don't park your car in Liverpool it will get nicked. If driving the coach throw Toxteth after the game, have armoured plated windows, or duck.

 

[perseus]

Winnable game.

Not necessarily. We have never lost there in the FA cup, but we have only one once. We are not going to win by more than one goal unless we get a replay.

 

[bobby smith]

the rules about being cup-tied do not apply in the league cup.

yes they do

 

[Garage_Doors]

I shall repeat my earlier post....

Check section 6.1 of the PLAYERS section in the competition rules, on the OFFICIAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE website..

It quite clearly states 'No player will play for more than ONE CLUB in the cup competition in ANY ONE SEASON'

I really wouldn't take Wikipedia as gospel pal.

Now can we put this one to bed please?

FA 5th RND TIES DECIDED

Whether ESPN still have a pick or not is unclear. They have a contract to show up to 25 ties, and have an exclusive for 1 semi, and can show the final. Have no idea whether they're taking a pass on this round, or whether they're thinking of picking up the replays.

On Sunday, if ITV are showing Stevenage v Spurs at 2pm, it is unlikely there is a 4pm KO. Last round the earlier ITV game kicked off at 1.30pm so that ESPN had time for their build up ahead of the 4pm.

Well they are showing a game Saturday and one Sunday on their schedule

 

[Rugrat]

Can someone smarter than me help?

FA website has our game along with all others except Sunderland and Stevenage on Saturday at 3.00

But the ESPN schedule says there's a live cup game on Saturday lunch and Sunday tea times neither of which will be the above ... so they are still deciding which 2 these will be and then 2 will be taken out of the 3.00 Saturday? Given Stoke play Thursday they have to play Sunday?

So we are either 12.30 or 15.00 Saturday

Would that be right?

 

[Beach Hut]

Hope it is Saturday however Mini will miss out, so a long slog Sunday is not too bad.

Wish they would hurry up and decide one way or the other

 

[El Presidente]

Our previous record of playing Liverpool on a Sunday is

1983 W 2-1
1984 W 2-0

 

[34064 Fighter Command]

Yes and being one of them I will get a ticket. Would rather Everton as never been there. Liverpool is just, well, meh really.

Ah well, you should have gone to the Everton - Woking game the day after our game in 1992 like what I did ........

My abiding memory of that weekend was just how cold it was.

This time round - I'm not sure - would be quite happy to let someone else have the chance to see us at Anfield as I am very busy the following weekend with what's happening at the Brighton Centre. I was kinda hoping it would be Crawley away as I have yet to visit the Broadfield Stadium !

( Edited because I got the year wrong !!!!!! - Shouldn't be making that kind of mistake when I only re-read the programme for the replay on Sunday - 1991 was Crawley at the Goldstone in round 3 of course ).

loyalty system works well if your a proper supporter. Im not saying your not by the way. The first tickets go to the people who deserve them the most, Whats the problem with that?

My only problem was the drop from 1250 points to 1000. I 've got a season ticket and been to two cup games and 6 away games and was bypassed for Palace tickets. I got one anyway but got lumped in with everybody who had a season ticket and hadn't been to any away games.

 

[bravohotelalpha]

Post your elation / disappointment / "how the hell will I get a ticket?" / "will it be on the telly?" thoughts here.

I'm still very curious how you were able to announce this historic fa cup tie at 15.21 on Jan 29 th ??
Does the vicar in firle have a hotline to the gentleman upstairs .....
