FA Cup R3 | Salford City (H) | Sat 11 Jan 1745

[ysmsa]

How has the FA Cup final and winners become so non descript when the 3rd round and following rounds are so full of interest?

They've fooked it up haven't they!

12.30pm, live on Radio 2.
Ted Croker and the bumbling West Brom chairman / dinosaur Bert Millichip doing the draw.

‘Next item on the agenda’.

Like they had loads of other stuff to do!

‘Next item on the agenda’.

Like they had loads of other stuff to do!

The cup draw for the 80/81 season, at work in a Ford main dealership and the wankers had Radio 1 on all day, every day and no one could change the channel as the radio (piped through the whole place) was locked up in some cupboard.
Me and two others hiding in the back of the tranny van at 12.30pm, with the radio on listening to each round. Got to the semi final and two of us in the back of the Transit. Mid draw and my immediate boss and the managing director happen to meet right next to the van (both passing in opposite directions) and proceed to waffle all kinds of shit for about 10-15 mins (it may have been less than that but stuck inside the van it felt like a long time). Finally they fucked off and we could exit the vehicle and back to work!

No matter what great changes may happen in the world, the one constant is that we’re always number 22 ( or maybe sometimes 23 ) in the 3rd Round draw.

Someone once told me that Bournemouth changed their name from Bournemouth FC to AFC Bournemouth, for the specific reason of always being number 1 in the draw. Although I imagine he was probably chatting shit.

Hopefully your play my team Wealdstone Fc if we can beat Wycombe Wanderers live on ITV tomorrow morning,as you know many of fans use us for food and drinks when your at Wembley.

And very nice it is at Wealdstone may I add. Would be great to be back there soon.

Do you mean Bournemouth & Boscombe Athletic FC?

 

[leithblue]

We’re away at Spurs.

United or Liverpool will have Wayne Rooney’s Plymouth at home for the narrative - the other will play Kettering / Doncaster at home.

Chelsea will get Harrogate at home.

Cov away and smash the ghost town fuckers to smithereens

Spat my morning coffee out there MES …
Listening to the cup draw whilst being in the back of a tranny…. Some rum lads on here.

My old teacher was a blue he’d let us in the woodbine filled staff room 12:30 on a Monday radio 2 and let us listen.
