FA Cup fourth round draw - Carlisle (A)

[ianefc]

Oh, in that case it's round to @ianefc's post match then if that happens. Hopefully @davek can get a ticket.

I'm in a mood with Dave at the moment. I just need a little time, that's all.

If Carlisle win most probably played at Deepdale, thats where they have been playing isn't it?

No they played Plymouth in the league at Ewood and Yeovil in the Cup at Bloomfield Rd

RS beauts already whinging "we always get it tough".

Think they forgot about Exeter.

west ham home isn't that tough (looks at us last season ... ffs) - it's only tough for them because they got spanked 5-0 by them this season.

the amount of easy finals they've had like west ham themselves and cardiff, i can't believe they moan.

Perhaps they were referring to Exeter.

Carlisle away April 1975 0-3.....shudders!!!! Blew league more or less.
(And for good measure we had lost 3-2 at home in December having been 2 up at half time)
That said away to lower league is always tricky but I believe in this team!!!

....before this season they are the only team we have played in top flight football and never defeated. I clearly remember those games, they played really well at Goodison. They had a lad who I think was called Chris Balderstone who stood out. He was also a cricketer and went on to be an umpire.

Bye into the 5th round that.

Carlisle beat my local team, Welling United, 5-0 away in the 2nd round. Soooo close to the hoped-for Welling v Everton!

Which bookies is doing us to win both cups? Saw someone talking about it earlier but trying to find it the bet.

 

[davek]

3 all PL ties in the 4th round (in all likelihood after replays are sorted), plus four where I'd place PL teams in real danger (replay between WBA and Bristol City) and 4th round ties (Bournemouth at Portsmouth/Ipswich; United at Derby; Watford at Forest).

Add that to Swansea, Norwich, Southampton and Newcastle already knocked out and by the 5th round there could just be 8 other PL teams left in the hat...a 1:2 chance of lower league opponents.

Like the LC this season, I think we'll face no more than one tough PL clash in order to get to Wembley.

All way down the line, of course. But it looks promising already...and teams going well in one cup competition usually get a taste for what's required and do well in the other.

Hammers seen to call Liverpool as Victimpool ffs x and they are more or less thrilled by this draw

 

[Alan Whittle]

Wright is a buffoon. Pulls out Burnley for his beloved Arsenal and yanks Stoke to Selhurst for us. Why Ian.... WHY?

Yep played for Leicestershire I think. Was he their goalie?

 

[Yid4life]

Few of mates are made up with Colchester away (their local team). Hopefully they can sort me with a ticket if needed.

If we get Carlisle expect more Bob in my next preview (If I'm ever allowed to do another one.) and his amazing input.

Come On You Irons. (If Exeter don't knock the RS out first.)
