Talking of the F.A Cup. Anyone remember Mansfield home (withdean)

[Napper]

Dumped out the cup with a shocking display and wasn't it for a 4 th round tie which was a big deal at the time ?

Fans absolutely furious after and baying for blood.

Only a few years back really

 

[Black Rod]

Wasn't it after this game that Dick Knight went on the radio and personally guaranteed five signings in January. On transfer deadline day we had made just four and so in came Shane McFaul to ensure he kept his promise.

Wonder what happened to him

 

[Braders]

Yeah , pissed it down and we where shocking - thanks for reminding me of that

 

[hans kraay fan club]

3rd round probably, as we rarely got to the 4th.

We were truly awful. It was suggested later that the entire squad were ill.

Not as sick as the fans felt after.

It was third round and the reward was a glamour tie with Middlesbrough if I remember correctly

The times, they are a changing.

I thought it was more to do with the fall out of the Savage & Callaghan departures. I hadn't heard that the squad was ill.

I'd managed to expunge the memory of that day. Aaaaargh.

 

[doug7126]

I had a friend from
Australia watching and he thought it was gash

 

[Southwick_Seagull]

Joel Lynch in particular had a shocker if memory serves me right.

 

[Telford Seagull]

Michael Boulding who had scored half of their goals that season didn't play too which really added to the disappointment. Pretty sure they ended up playing then premier league Middlesborough

He was at Haringey Borough about two years ago...

McFaul is now plying his trade in the Finnish 2nd division since Irish club St Patricks didn't renew his contract in the summer.

Our record in the fa cup Is pretty poor IMO, yes we got to the final in 83 but other than that not a lot else. I would say we have be the victim of a giant killing more than us being the giant killers. Isn't Mondays game only the 5th time we have been in the fifth round ?

What? Monday's game is our first FA Cup 5th Round home tie since 1933.

Was just going to post the same. A player who I rated through his time with us but that day as I recall he was appalling.

 

[Country Seagull]

I'd been trying to forget

 

[The Buttery Biscuit Base]

I thought we had this game in the bag, they were 24th in League 2.

That was the day that proved he couldn't play left back if I remember correctly.
