RevidgeBlue Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I wouldn't get anywhere near the same satisfaction out of beating Burnley as I would have done 25-30 years ago. We SHOULD hammer them give the respective financial positions of both clubs. As several others have said, not bothered if we never play them again. Certainly never want to face them in the League again as it'll mean we've been relegated at least one rung. Got to be a 4 or 5 nil whupping of Newcastle and Souness at Ewood for me please! I'd LUV IT just LUV IT if I got to see us lift the FA Cup. It's always been my ambition since being a kid. It would be particularly apt to make it a domestic treble on the tenth anniversary of winning the Premiership to underline and rubberstamp Uncle Jack's contribution to the modern domestic game. COME ON ROVERS!

ABBEY Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 BOLTON HOME ....AND SPIT SENT OFF FOR DIVING AND BELLAMY TO DIVE FOR A PEN LOL
tchocky Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Anyone but the top 3 pl clubs, Bolton/Oldham could be a bananaskin I feel. Preferably lower league teams at home, who wouldnt want that
tchocky Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Right you are. Wasnt watching. Just noticed that Chelsea scored on Brum within 6 minutes - Tiny seems to have been beaten already, in several ways. We can really do without Chelsea in the next round.
RoyRover Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 If we are drawn at home and don't get the likes of Arsenal, Man United, Chelsea or Newcastle then I'd be pleased enough.
Quack Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Home draw against Newcastle would be great - last chance to see Shearer at Ewood ( marked out of the game by Capt Todd )and an opportunity to beat GS - another season for the mighty Toon without a trophy.
Parasyte Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 As far as the Newcastle thing goes, I'm a little torn. I dont think anyone could begrudge Shearer another Cup winners medal, and yet, I want so badly for Souness to fall flat on his arse (moreso, that is).
roversWASmylife Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I'm not too bothered who we get just as long as we avoid Chelsea, Arsenal and Man United. Anyone at home and on a day we can give anyone a decent game. Draw's on BBC 2, half 1 tomorrow afternoon.
1864roverite Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 if we did get Bellamy then he would be cup tied. For me Rover cannot in anyway hope to draw a lower league club, we have had 2 already. Its just our luck to draw one of the big three and away from home. I would settle for hartlepool or the dingles at home
greggyk Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 if we did get Bellamy then he would be cup tied. For me Rover cannot in anyway hope to draw a lower league club, we have had 2 already. Its just our luck to draw one of the big three and away from home. I would settle for hartlepool or the dingles at home Well Millwall last season never played any premiership team to get to the FA Cup final.
1864roverite Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 and your point is ? I am simply inferring that Rovers do not have the luck to avoid a big gun
Timmy Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 brentford/hartlepool, notts forest or burnley (at home please) also can it be arranged that arsenal, chelsea, man utd and newcastle be drawn agaisnt each other please?
speeeeeeedie Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 I always want us at home to Burnley in the cup.
stuwilky Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 Would love to play Burnley. Imagine not only the atmosphere and added emotion to the season, but the gate receipts!!! Shame wed have to give the dingles 40 odd percent of them. Burnley away for me. Or Brentford/Hartlepool
mode_m Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 The Clarets at Ewood, and Rovers to open up a can of... well Rovers to win.
waggy Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 As far as the Newcastle thing goes, I'm a little torn. I dont think anyone could begrudge Shearer another Cup winners medal, and yet, I want so badly for Souness to fall flat on his arse (moreso, that is). which cup medal is that
Flopsy Posted January 30, 2005 Posted January 30, 2005 What a waste - went to magpie land and won (Please don't use that word again) all. never booed him though
West Aussie Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Anyone know the time of the 5th round draw today ? Would like to listen to it live, is it on a local or BBC 5 Live station. Could not find any news browsing the sites. Pointers in the right direction please. Rovers V Everton !
Manchester Blue Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 It is on at 13.30GMT and is broadcast live on BBC radio 5 live.
Nayef Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Brentford away as i've never been. Other than that, i'd take anybody at Ewood or a Saturday 3pm kick off. As Brentford are my local team and see them often that would be a nightmare draw for me personally, i remember we played in the cup a few years ago when Harford was in charge, rovers scrapped through. If drawn again, rovers would win easily trust me I went to that one. Think we won 2-1 and at the time brentford were unbeaten and top of their league. I'd like to see Brentford too. And I'd liike to see Chelsea vs Burnley
Nayef Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 The Clarets at Ewood, and Rovers to open up a can of... well Rovers to win. Whoop ass?
Flopsy Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 The Clarets at Ewood, and Rovers to open up a can of... well Rovers to win. Whoop ass? im going for Carling (we really really really dont want Burnley - or another Prem team)
Alan75 Posted January 31, 2005 Posted January 31, 2005 Flopsy, could you rephrase that, sounds as if they are a premier team.
