Embarrassing that we capitulated against this lot a few weeks ago.

I seem to remember Liverpool losing against them recently.

Disagree. Whether it's entertaining or not or ended in a 10-0 shellacking it would have meant a lot for Tamworth to get a huge day out with financial benefits from the replay that they'd have earned.

I don't care about money. I want upsets. I don't support any system that means a draw can be a better result than a win.

They should be getting a replay and a giant payday for that . Another tradition fucked about with .

Nah, replays are boring as shite. Good riddance.
Replays only became "boring" when if was deemed that there needed to be ten days before it was played.  Saturday and then the following Tuesday/Wednesday kept the momentum of the tie.

I'd rather teams were encouraged to play for a win. Extra time and penalties much better than them going to Tottenham and losing 6-0.

How Werner hasn't been subbed is still a professional footballer I'll never know.

Bugger, they seem to have stopped showing FA Cup games on Bet365, I was hoping to watch Hull Doncaster penalties.

That looked like another free-kick on the edge of the Spurs box.

Spurs have been wank. It would be bad enough if it was endless saves and desperate defending but the Tamworth keeper has had little to do so far.

There is a huge financial.aspect involved for lower and non-league teams though, which could be monumental for their clubs.

This ref's not big on the romance of the Cup.
