The 20/21 Season FA Cup Thread

[NottyImp]

I've just had a VIC-20 moment.

Posh. I started programming on Sincilbanks' ZX81 with 1K of memory. The skinflint eventually shelled out for a 16K RAM pack. 😁

 

[NottyImp]

"Don't joggle the RAM pack!"

 

[cheshireimp]

Is that fair ??

Not fair at all . If you cant fulfill your fixture you are out

Well me looking at this the other day just got relevant... Before my time but I was mightily intrigued!

Some of those old computers are classics. But you'd have to be seriously into retro to buy one.

Here you go...

I can see there being a few takers, but not for me; I wouldn't have a clue what to do with it.

I think there have been some "user friendly" re-issues. It's a fascinating period of computing when "personal computing" became a thing before the internet.

Ask a youngster about "Jetset Willy" today, and they'd probably think it was a futuristic porn film

Which is what has happened to every other team in FA Cup, FA Trophy & FA Vase, including Lincoln Utd & Boston Utd too, and Notts County most recently, and loads of others.

Time to give Tonbridge Angels a watch . Hoping for a straight forward win for the Angels but you never know Bradford may cause an upset and win .

 

[SalfordImp]

Just try to keep up on possible teams in the next round.

Although I wonder why the BBC bother to have a FA cup show when they just go on talk about Prem league games.

 

[imp st ives]

it's funny to see the scunts being beat though!

 

[sedgleyimp]

Watched the first half of the Barnet-Burton game via the IPlayer. Not a great game it has to be said.

 

[sedgleyimp]

Plenty of penalties given in the games today

 

[sedgleyimp]

Couple of minutes left at Glumford

Currently Scunthorpe 2 Solihull Moors 3

 

[sedgleyimp]

Full time at Glumford is 3-2 to Solihull.

Scunts can concentrate on their relegation battle
