Have they announced the gate?

I think Stevie posted 1,445

Have they announced the gate?

Fourteen hundred and summat, twenty five from Morecambe.

1400 odd brave soles

A few very odd ones

Waiting for the updates for penalty shootouts on the forum is excruciating , but i love happy endings.

Wright certainly is becoming something of a penalty king. If he could improve on his all round keeping he could be a very good keeper. But he is still quite below Rushworths standard. However he deserves to keep his place in this competition even if we get to the final.

 

[Merthyr Imp]

Did he give O-B a yellow? Looked like a Morecambe player for dissent considering he didn’t actually give a free kick

According to iFollow the Morecambe player was the only one booked. Referee didn't even give a free kick, as you say.

You wouldn't have known any of this from the commentary, and for large parts of the game I was glad I didn't have to rely on it to know what was happening. If I wanted a discussion of sweets of yesteryear, however...

 

[Ruskingtony]

The other positive is that we didn't miss any of our penalties. There is a real bit of steel and backbone developing in this squad. There seems a great togetherness to, it all bodes well going onwards this season.

I saw him at Chippenham he has the perfect frame for pens - tall and nimble. He literally covers massive amounts of the goal

Didn’t sound like a great game, but we’re through! But if money and one step closer to a potential trip to Wembley

 

[Warrington Imp]

1,400+ with 25 Morecambe

Fair play to the 25 who travelled down twice in four days.

Well, pleased to be through. I've never known an assistant manager moan as much at the fourth official as theirs has over the last two matches...

 

[Scotimp]

Wright certainly gives the players confidence going into a penalty shootout, it really is a strength of his. Five saves in two shootouts is a great record.

 

[Gratzimp]

More pluses, Posh, Grimsby and FGR all lost

There was a small part of me hoping Us and Fish would reach the regional final with a place at Wembley at stake. That would have been quite a spicy affair.

Yes, I hesitate to be critical online but I thought the commentary was an absolute disgrace tonight. For anybody just listening without the Ifollow video it must have been even more infuriating.

 

[Red Wimp]

If we get to a shoot out and Rushworth is in goal we’ll do a Chelsea and sub keeper in the last minute

Living out of the Radio Lincs area and not fancying parting with £10 for the game (incidentally, why is there no audio ifollow option for the Papa Johns?), the quickest way I found to 'watch' it was on the bet365 app!

I think I have but they aren't with us anymore!

I think I have but they aren't with us anymore!

Well, yes, but I should have been more specific and said opposition...
