[Football] Everton vs Boreham wood - ITV.

[LamieRobertson]

Er, ALL eight ties were on TV

Which sums it up…..it’s not as if they are going to say ..”well let’s do seven but not bother with that last tie that sums up the ‘magic’ of the FA Cup” …good grief

Marsh will score for Boreham Wood ( if he starts) but can't see anything but a home win 3-1.

 

[Roadrunner]

Unless you are a toffee EVERYONE should be supporting Boreham Wood - it’s what football should be about

I meant to reply to this earlier, saying that I was concerned by the sheer inevitabliity of Palace drawing them at home, should they beat Everton - why is why I was hoping for an Everton win. Sure enough....

It would be sooooo Brighton to finish above them for the first time in ages, only for them to win the FA Cup.

As always, the cup Gods are doing their best for the Nigels. Another plum home tie for caravaners against potentially the only non league tie left.

The Nigels really are the scabbiest club you will ever see.

At least it looks like the other semi finalists are likely to be Liverpool, City and Chelsea.

At least it looks like the other semi finalists are likely to be Liverpool, City and Chelsea.

Which means that any interest in this year's FA Cup disappears as soon as Everton go a couple of goals ahead.

Brilliant. A truly emotional moment, and ITV cut away for adverts.

I cannot believe they just did that

Classic ITV coverage.

'Imagine' is played over the tannoy, both sets of players come together for a group photo, tears in the crowd, genuinely moving.

And they cut to a commercial break.

They can expect complaints.

Edit - they have. https://twitter.com/hashtag/itv

Here's hoping they do the decent thing and show it at halftime.

Such confusion! Boreham Wood or Borehamwood - I hope they didn't miss the signs for Everton going up the M6 - they could be in Scotland by now!

I actually think this is a massive banana skin for Everton and Lampard. As I know only too well, shutting-up shop and hitting you with a sucker punch is an art form for non-league sides like Boreham Wood. Granted, there is a huge gulf in ability but that was also the case when they beat Bournemouth on their own patch, who are a quasi Premier League side anyway.

Some bedtime reading should this issue trouble you:

And no, it doesn’t clear it up at all…

A poor game to put on TV, will probably be all over within half an hour. I caught a bit of Southampton v West Ham on the BBC red button last night, that was a proper cup tie, no quarter given, both sides desperate to reach the QF's and no shortage of quality. I get it if the game was at Boreham Wood.

Half n hour gone 0/0

Please don't get all Otley with me - what goes round comes roundhay, dontcha know?

Great to see the pub team hanging in there at 0-0 approaching half time but I just feel that Boreham Wood might be too strong for them.

A medical emergency in the crowd.

We've had a few of them recently, but thankfully it seems to be ok.

 

[Durlston]

Borehamwood have conceded the fewest amount of goals in every professional division of Britain (% worked out).

Moaning scousers. What right have they frigging got? The Premier League might just be a bit shite in the bottom half, Clive.

 

[crodonilson]

Another medical emergency

 

[The Wizard]

Another medical emergency in the crowd…. Nobody connecting the dots?

 

[Steve in Japan]

Mildly more entertaining than an episode of Vera. And I'm being very generous. To Vera.

Admittedly it's a bit different to one of your regular fishing posts, Crodo, but fair play to you here.
