Jack Sang won’t (or shouldn’t) be playing for Roms as he played for us in the last round.
Now, I’m not completely sure about this, but I remember reading some years ago that only players that were registered when the match should originally have been played (9th January) are eligible to play in the rearranged game. If that is still a rule, or if it ever was one, then none of the new five will be able to play and probably a couple of others too, plus any who may be cup-tied.

Original post bumped hence old cancelled comments removed!!

A couple of the posts after mine that you’ve left on have been removed. There may be moderator beef going on in the background…

You're spot on. 9 b (2)

I think you will find the following players are not available all signed since the original fixture date.

Max Martin
Rackeem Reid
Nathan Delfouneso
Michael McGrath
Blaine Rowe
Jake Jervis
Ryan Brown

As far as I can see no players are actually cup-tied.

I humbly apologise to all concerned if I have caused any upset or unrest by deleting some relevant posts.
Last time the match was cancelled I left some older ones in place and was told I could mislead people, so this time I deleted them.

what a shame, spitting dummy out of pram

See my reply

we've got the same issue and both ties were called off through no fault of our own also.

Just get on with it and get the game played

It's a cup anyway!!

Notice a few games around the country (including one in Devon!!!) have fallen foul of the weather. It's clouded over here, but is still dry at present so hopefully it get's played otherwise Toothy will be kicking off again

Result

Hednesford 3-0 Romulus

Joe Thompson 14',35',45+2'

Hednesford will entertain Coventry City in the next round.

Bit of a non-event as games go. Thompson scored an early goal and then bizarrely Gwilliams decided to saunter over to the ref whilst an injured player was being treated, presumably to tell the ref where to go. The red card was brandished and off he goes. After that it was like a training session and I was glad to see Thompson get a hat-trick as he seems to enjoy playing for us and always comes over to applaud the fans at the end.
He now has 4 goals and is joint top scorer with Joe Morley.

I spent most of the second half discussing the state of the club with others on the terrace and some of what I heard around prospective managers and plans for the club slightly alarmed me. If what is circulating is true, then I hope the owners have deep pockets, thick skin and do whatever they decide to do in a sustainable manner so that when they eventually leave (as everyone does) the club has a ground and is operating at a level that is in line with where is should be.

If you are referring to Taunton's pitch - be lucky if either they or Truro play on that before August!!

Highlights (Apologies for no post-match, I had to leave right after the game)

Thanks Dan.. a shame you couldn't include the red card, I was looking forward to that having had a description of it from my on site reporter..

But at least we have been able to se all three goals, unlike the young lady...

Glyn
Sadly my attention was over by our bench as there was a break in play due to an injury

No problem.. thanks again Dan.. like the ref you cam only be looking in one direction at once..
