Part of the usual media drive to blather about the 'Magic of the Cup', until the big boys enter then they can promptly forget about it and focus on (usually) foregone conclusion tat like Man United v. Watford or whatever.

So Brentford went through today. Semis of the league cup too. Yet they are getting less injuries than us. 

There is a unprofessional element at Rovers I think. The pitch today another example.

Because they don't want to receive a record number of complaints.

Or maybe they are just as pissed off with Mowbray as we are.

There still have remnants of duty of care for their viewers plus their complaints Dept is on short staff due to Covid.

BBC have always had a 'South' bias and it's London's biggest 3rd Round tie.

This is good watching Leeds get battered.  Bielsa is no genius, he's  a blag artist.

[simongarnerisgod]

i don`t think the leeds goalkeeper will get much game time after this🙂

[AllRoverAsia]

That was rather nice

[simongarnerisgod]

no crowd at marine apart from everyone in the houses at the back of the ground watching from over the fence,love it😆

Perhaps because Arsenal are the holders?

The game was bored fest. 

Having Blackpool vs West Brom on would have better imo

[Mattyblue]

It’s about ratings, that’s why Leeds were on Sky almost every week in the Championship and why every single Man Utd cup tie is shown.

I thought you were planning to watch Ipswich v Swindon?

Poor old Marine. If this were a boxing match the referee would have stopped it by now. Some of their lads already look to have thrown the towel in.

Has an U23 feel about it rather than a cup tie.

 

[simongarnerisgod]

deli ali has one of those faces you just want to hit with a cricket bat🥵

25k+ X 10 quid plus TV plus appearance money, Marine not quite so poor now. Plus they get to play Spurs and Jose, probably see Bale and Son in the second half. Fantastic day for Marine and their fans.

I hope the score is less than 10 though.

Really nice to hear Jose and his team bought virtual tickets. Class.

I used to play for a pick up Sunday team when I was about 15. One week a team from Bolton agreed to play us. They turned up in a coach ! We used to go on the bus to away games. It was Bolton's academy team ! We lost 18-2 !  Funnily enough we scored the first and the last goals in the game. The inside forward I was marking scored 5. Not my finest hour. He later made it as a pro at Bolton and a few other clubs. I'll try and remember his name.

Well played Crawley. The magic of the Cup.

Something our Tony has never heard of.

DD Should stick to home improvements... there’s a few for him to look round after the game.
