FA Cup Games | 3rd Round | 4/5/6/7/8 Jan '24

Spend 50 minutes trying to thread the ball through the eye of a needle, then bang have a go from long range and you level the scores.

Let that be a lesson to our boys tomorrow.
You know that’s not happening hahaha. The eye of the needle pass can work with good movement and crisp passing. However, we do love a thunderbastard on occasion :)
 
I noticed that whilst it's our FA Cup 3rd round today, it's also the round of 64 in France, so I did a bit of reading.

If you think our FAC is complicated (with all our preliminary rounds), check this out in France (it's efectively round 9), teams from places like Martinique, New Caledonia, Guadaloupe, Reunion, French Polynesia, and French Guiana get to take part.

Fascinating if a bit long winded.

A couple of teams from the other counties playing in this round, Golden Lyon FC from Martinique (losing 10-0 to top division Lille with 15 minutes left), and CS Moulien from Guadeloupe (losing 3-0 to Romarantin 4th level with about 20 minutes left), both playing away from home, I wonder how many away fans have travelled ?
 
We were very poor...and the definition of insanity...where we continued to play out from the back and couldn't.... summed it up
