FA CUP 3RD Round Draw.

[bradowl]

This evening on BBC 2 at 7pm, we are ball number 35. 

So who do we want and who do you think we will get and who do we want to avoid? 

Easiest game possible for me, Tamworth at home. 

Probably end up getting an away tie at somewhere like Plymouth. 

Avoid most teams in our league apart from maybe pigs at home and avoiding an away trip to somewhere like Brentford or Bournemouth where we would probably go out making very little money. 

[Supercockle]

Anyone in a lower league than us, home or away. I’d like to see us be able to give players like McNeil some game time, as we did in the league cup. 
 

Otherwise, Pigs at home. Let’s beat the bastards and derail their season. 

[Andyben]

Liverpool at  Home

[Tank_Owl2,0]

Citeh at home apparently they aren’t very good 😂

[HarrySpeakup]

Tamworth at home 

not because they are the lowest team left - although that helps- but because they used to be my team when we spent most nights after school playing subbuteo

[Billysboy]

Pigs at home, too impatient to wait while March to see a few of em getting slapped😉

McNeil I think won’t be around to play. I’ve a sneaky suspicion he’ll be out on loan. 

[HoylandOwl]

A winnable tie. Not bothered who.

Fill the coffers a little more. 

[Harry Lime]

Take your pick.

Chelsea at home would be my prediction.

Ball 35.

Arsenal away just for the ground.

Not fussed about Spurs' ground tbh.

[M42Owl]

I’ll be on hols, so I prefer a league two side at home.

Accrington or Morecambe would be nice.

[cheat]

Just fucking get on with it.

a grumpy old man.

[Harry Lime]

I've just been reminded, if I ever needed it, why I don't watch the BBC anymore.

[Vialli]

Wank draw

[owl71]

Totally predictable away draw against another Championship team.  🙄

[owl4ever1867]

Meh all round really

Tamworth v Tottenham could be interesting.

Arsenal v Man U 100% will be on TV 

As will Villa v Hammers.

I suspect they will still be doing multiple games outside the 3pm slot as the overseas TV rights seem to take priority in the FA Cup. 

Owling can at least moan about BBC and ITV not Sky 

[Skamp]

Look Leeds will be all over Leeds v Harrogate

[HoylandOwl]

What an absolute bag of shite 

[bradowl]

Awful draw but on plus side it's not far to travel for our supporters.

What an absolute bag o'wank!   Grr!

Didn't watch the draw but am informed that it was Dion Dublin that performed that sickening act.  To think that we gave him a standing ovation as he walked off to retirement when subbed at Hillsborough!  

Assuming there's no replay, that's five times eventually we'll have played them in two seasons.  🙄

[wollowl]

do they even have replays any more?

Will have been 7 times in under 14 Months by the time we have the League game at Hillsborough mid February.

I don't think there's any replays this year.

It's a good job I'm retired by the look of that!   

[HoylandOwl]

[Andyben]

Thank fuck for that 

Don't normally get to see any Premier League teams on telly 

[Owling_Wolf]

Just been told our game at Cov now on at 6pm, for foreign  broadcasting. 

Poor Plym fans: moved to 7pm Thurs at S. Utd, after getting up at dawn recently to visit us!

[Tylluan]

Thursday night games for the FA Cup is fucking ridiculous, full stop. 

Peterborough will get fuck all out of the FA despite the reasonable protest. They'll hang it on 'police advice' or some such bollocks

[HoylandOwl]

It’s stupid. Football isn’t a match going fans game anymore. It’s a slave to the coin provided by tv companies 

[HoylandOwl]

 

[Emre]

It must be a revamp of the "the magic of the FA Cup", no fucker knows when their match is going to be played 

[bradowl]

Coventry have announced ticket details for our game with them. Cheap as chips and a decent allocation.

[Paul from Wisewood]

£13 and 20 priority points!?
 

be loads not show up

I thought that was the kick off times for a minute. I mean if ESPN US got their way for peak US audiences they probably would.

5 days games spread over

I lost count but there must be a dozen different kick off times 

[mkowl]

It's actually 15 different kick off times 

[holmesfield_owl]

Where's the match thread @Reesh😁

[JBO]

What has Bournemouth away at Newcastle have to do with the FA Cup 3rd round?
