(I don't think we already have a thread for this, apologies if we do and no doubt the moderator could do the necessary...)

One of the BBC's usual condescending, but nonetheless informative and interesting articles...

A bit rough on Redhill, being slung out of the Cup just because one of their players has tested positive...

[Glyn]

You know that game the BBC were showing live...?

This is fine, chucking clubs out for a positive Covid Test, as long as it still applies when it reaches the Final...

Lots of "kicks from the penalty mark" - and numerous former opponents of ours out at the Extra Prelim stage...

[Glyn]

Does it count as a hat-trick if the keeper dives over the first one...?

OJM Black Country are playing home matches at Dudley Sports’ ground in Brierley Hill this season but I’ve no idea what the “issues” are.

[jackiemaund]

I believe we enter the fa cup at the next round to be played a week on tuesday presumably the draw will be held Monday lunch time.

[PitmanKeith]

This implies its already been pre drawn doesn't it.

It does, and with that in mind how disgraceful it is that the FA won’t give an exact time for its release. Do they think folk have got nothing better to do than to wait until they can be bothered to get their collective finger out?

[Pitmen1187]

Long eaton united at home.

[Perton Pitman]

I'm sure we've played them before in the cup many years ago.

Other highlights

Worcester v Strangers
Tamworth v Stourbridge
Cashtown v Basford
Tividale v Nantwich

Thanks Del, we don’t need to know where they play though as there won’t be a replay.

I quite fancied Hanley away, or any new local(ish) ground away

Worcester v Strangers
Tamworth v Stourbridge
Cashtown v Basford
Tividale v Nantwich

1984/5, we won 3-1. Ian Alcock (2) and John Branch scored.

By the way, shouldn't that be Cashtown v Cashford?

Just adding meat to the bones - and trying to be helpful!

A bit of a confidence booster for Long Eaton ahead of next Tuesday
