Quoted from denni266

Why is it late ?

Because some twit does not allow enough time for motorway delays.

Goal pitman

We all hate the FA Trophy but we seem to be pretty good at it!

The silence on here in regards to that goal pretty much sums it up.

Is there a live commentary and where do we get it?

I just can't get excited for Trophy games. Good for JPP to get back in the goals though.

Saying its still 0 0 on radio, so when did pittmann score?

Macclesfield and Bristol rovers both knocked out today, think they have set their stall out for the league.

Quoted from northbankmariner

Macclesfield and Bristol rovers both knocked out today, think they have set their stall out for the league.

And so should we.

Quoted from northbankmariner

Macclesfield and Bristol rovers both knocked out today, think they have set their stall out for the league.

Doesn't work like that though does it. You never get the option. When we lost to Chasetown it did not lead to league success. Can't remember Luton tearing up trees either but it took them 5 years. Just a very poor excuse for bottling it in my opinion.

Lincoln out, too. Don't think they've set out their stall for the league!

Fridays opponents FGR have a reply in midweek.

Quoted from Belfast Town

Lincoln out, too. Don't think they've set out their stall for the league!

No, they're just shite.

Looking at some of the results it does seem there's not too much effort put into it by conference sides , who and where is Burgess Hill .

Quoted from Les Brechin

Fridays opponents FGR have a reply in midweek.

No replays now straight to penos extra time ect

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

No replays now straight to penos extra time ect

That's if both teams agree I think

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

No replays now straight to penos extra time ect

Only if agreed between the 2 teams. They drew 2-2 at home to Didcot Town today having been 2-0 up with 15 minutes to go.

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

No replays now straight to penos extra time ect

FGR defo have a reply.

If we did lose perhaps we could play Eastleigh on the saturday of the next round rather than a Tuesday night?

Replay for Barnet to deal with as well.

Quoted from ackomariner

That's if both teams agree I think

They didn't agree FGR have an extra game on Tuesday night

Quoted from Les Brechin

Only if agreed between the 2 teams. They drew 2-2 at home to Didcot Town today having been 2-0 up with 15 minutes to go.

That's good then we should be fresher than fgr you would hope, hopefully they have a real scrappy game with extra time and sending off galore

Can you blame PH? it's obvious that after a failed FA cup run, if we got knocked out the fa trophy (purposely) and failed to get promotion then his job would seriously be on the line. At least he'd be able to say 'well we got to the finals.'

Attendance is 344 - is that the lowest ever for a proper GTFC match?

Aldershot, Macclesfield, Bristol Rovers, Lincoln and Eastleigh all out.
Barnet, Forest Green, Welling will have replays  
Telford vs Chester, Southport vs Wrexham are also replays.
Kidderminster's and Halifax's games were postponed.
Then one of us vs Nuneaton will be going out.

Could potentially only be only 11 teams left from the conference premier in the last 32 including us.

Quoted from horsforthmariner

Attendance is 344 - is that the lowest ever for a proper GTFC match?

AND 104 of them are Mariner's  ;D

Love how JT is trying to get rid of Nigel! "You can go now if you want to beat the traffic..."

Quoted from Biccys

Nigel??

Quoted from Biccys

Love how JT is trying to get rid of Nigel! "You can go now if you want to beat the traffic..."

How is it going on the pitch ?

Are we holding on or going for a 2nd.

Red card lets get a second now town.

Nuneaton down to 10.

Quoted from Les Brechin

Nigel??

Yeah, Dale. Was getting my Lowthers and Ladsons mixed up!

Quoted from horsforthmariner

Attendance is 344 - is that the lowest ever for a proper GTFC match?

At least we get 50% of the gate  :-/

Nuneatons keepers going to have to come off and they don't have a keeper on the bench.

Sounds like the dullest game ever. Their keeper just smacked his noggin on the post saving the free kick from the sending off incident. They've  no sub keeper.

Sub (Non) Keeper going in goal

I'd like to see us firing a few goals in to get the attacking players some confidence given that we're playing against 10 men with an outfielder in goal. Will be very disappointing if this remains 1-0 (or if we concede!)

How long is left please ?

About 20 minutes.

Quoted from Chrisblor

About 20 minutes.

Cheers, we want another 2 at least then. 8)

Ljl misses good chance sliced wide  

Second by mkreath

2-0 Mackreth. 12 mins left.

Yeah  2-0  Mackreth

That should be that now

Damn. Wanted to lose this didn't we....?

Makreth brings a bit of relief.

Fans sound great again on the radio

Quoted from Biccys

Damn. Wanted to lose this didn't we....?

As much as I don't want us in this comp I can't help but cheer when we score.

WEM-BER-LEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Que Sara sara

Who's Andros Hannah?

JT just mentioned him.

Nicky Walker and Ross Hannah on for last 10 minutes for Arnold and LJL

Looks like jack has discovered where the net is at last that's a couple he has scored recently. Pressure off now.

Hannah offside  ;D ;D

Quoted from Les Brechin

Hannah offside  ;D ;D

I don't believe it !!!!!!!!!

When is the draw?

Quoted from lee65

When is the draw?

Monday. FCUM away please.

Quoted from lee65

When is the draw?

I was just going to say that,

I can hardly wait  ;D

Is it full time yet?  Radio commentary dropped out on me

Well done Town   :)

Wealdstone please !

Because they've got no fans

Quoted from Les Brechin

Hannah offside  ;D ;D

After running the line to him on Tues, I can see why he gets flagged so often. However in all my time as an official, I've never seen a striker who runs across the line so well and so tightly. What I'm trying to say is his runs are so sharp, he gets flagged quite often when he's not off.

OR a competent assistant spots it more easily? ;)

FGR drew, will there replay be Tuesday?

Obviously " Making plans for Nigel "!

Quoted from BIGChris

I just did what I normally do and guess. It's all about how you sell the decision of course.

Totally irresponsible of PH to play his first choice XI in this pointless competition. Hope nobody got booked or injured.

Quoted from WokingMariner

Totally irresponsible of PH to play his first choice XI in this pointless competition. Hope nobody got booked or injured.

But surely with no other match to play he has to keep a core of players who are match sharp? Two weeks is a long time without a competitive match.

Quoted from WokingMariner

Totally irresponsible of PH to play his first choice XI in this pointless competition. Hope nobody got booked or injured.

Though I understand where this often-repeated sentiment comes from, I'm afraid that I entirely disagree with it. There are all kinds of practical reasons why we might want the first XI playing - getting match practice, cultivating winning mentalities and all that, plus the financial advantages to the club ---- but fundamentally I believe that all teams should try to win every match. Otherwise it undermines the entire point of football.

See you at Wembly ?

surley not enough games  is just as bad as too many games
also just because one team gets knocked out doesn't mean your future league opponents are out too  
so fixture back log can still happen  even if your team looses
so i say be in it to win it

Quoted from Kymariner12

Yes mate.

Agree.
