It’s hard to know what irritated people more: the 5-1 home humiliation at the hands of Oxford or the news that our manager – 49-year-old former Colchester United striker Teddy Sheringham – had registered for action. The press went into overdrive, Borochat went into meltdown and we went to our bunker for tea and crumpets and to see the whole …
You get nothing for a pair, not in this game. If we draw a blank against Maidstone for a second time, the game will more than likely be up for this season’s FA Cup. Helpfully, we’ve moved on in that department since our first outing against the Stones. It took the best part …
If you needed a brutal reminder that summer had scurried off like a miscreant child over whom you have absolutely no power, it’s the arrival of the (Proper) First Round of the FA Cup. In our misty-eyed nostalgia, we remember a time where we’d all buy into “the magic of …
Now then, we come to a game that we’ve been waiting the best part of a month for – home to Everton in the FA Cup. It is Boro’s reward for dumping out Doncaster Rovers in the last round, and – optimistically speaking – our chance to get some sort …
Unless biblical floods have swept half of South Yorkshire away by the time you come to read this, it looks like the Boro’ will finally be getting underway in 2014 at the lovely Keepmoat Stadium in Doncaster this weekend. In case you forgot under the weight of festive pies and …
“We owe them one! I, like everyone, was a little bit disappointed when the draw was made” – words that will no doubt define a generation are brought to you by Stourbridge chairman Andy Pountney. We just thought it was best to start off by letting you know what we’re up …
And now for something completely different… the FA Cup. The pluckiest non-league teams have been decided and now is the time for us Football League types to come to the party. It could have been Stourbridge, it could have been Biggleswade – yep, it could have even been Barnet. But …
We thought it was best to awaken from our close season slumber for English football’s showpiece game. No, not Sunderland v Southampton but the FA Cup Final. Who cares about the rubbish kick-off time, the fact that the Premier League season still carries on around it and that our experiences …
How have the last couple of weeks been for you? We have spent a large chunk of that time twiddling our thumbs and gazing out of the window at the latest watery thing to fall out of the sky and plunge Britain into chaos. Not playing sucks. Having three weeks …
Is yours ready? The great FA Cup adventure is about to begin for another year and it is still a little novel to be starting in Round One, rather than the dear Fourth Qualifying Round. It is perhaps fair to say – and with no disrespect intended – that Rotherham …
