TheCumbrians @DanCUFC Unfortunately reasons out of @CUOSC control. Cheers for feedback though, will pass it on. Think it's good that KC is on-board too.
TheCumbrians @MrHettrick I'll come back to you on that!! Plans have been scuppered, so was considering a few days away in the Bath/Bristol area instead

TheCumbrians @J4ck_C0u51n Must have been considered 'Serious Foul Play': https://t.co/05YadHMnsA - to me it was a strong, but fair challenge.
TheCumbrians @J4ck_C0u51n ..understand why it wasn't rescinded. One of those that you can analyse all day as a panel and still not agree on.
TheCumbrians @J4ck_C0u51n I've only seen it once admittedly. The incident itself is different to Joyce's though. Joyce wasn't a red for me, but can....
TheCumbrians @J4ck_C0u51n Yes, without a doubt. Penalty and yellow card.
TheCumbrians @J4ck_C0u51n Goalkeeper was always getting there first, imo. I presume the panel agree and that's why it was rescinded.
TheCumbrians @J4ck_C0u51n No such rule as 'last man'. The rule is 'denying a clear goalscoring opportunity'. Coloccini didn't do so.

They've sent a strongly worded letter refusing, but the FA have told them that they have no choice. So they're going to do it.
Arise, Sir Jimmy

There's only one United!

BBC are doing that Score programme from the games again on the Sun aren't they?

Expect Non-League at Home to League Clubs to feature heavily there?

Likes of Altrincham, Brackley, Braintree, Gainsborough Trinity, Halifax, Maidstone and Wealdstone all Home to League opposition, so BBC be eyeing them games no doubt?

Could have been a CUFC fan pissed off it was Plymouth and not FC United. Was a few random cheers and boos I thought.

It's a great chance for FC United to show exactly why the were formed in the first place. Surely not playing the tie fits in with their philosophy more than the chance of an upset against the mighty and glamorous Chesterfield.

It won't happen but I'd love for them to tell the FA to stick it up their hole.

The Emirates FA Cup.... a country where women still get sentenced to death by stoning, and it's federal law that a woman has to get permission from their male guardian before re-marrying.

Was probably Steve Patt booing the fact we never got drawn against Man U or Chelsea, the clown!



If that FC United lot had owt about them, they'd refuse to play on the night and leave the BBC & FA Cup bosses with egg on their faces. Or are they the opposite of what they were set up to represent? AMF my ar5e...

Bit of a learning curve really, if you enter the competition and that is in the rules it is your fault I guess - they ain't just put it in yesterday.

It is something that long term has to change but if FC United did say "no chance, we are out" another Club would happily have the money and play on the Monday night - all about sticking together stuff like this, something we aren't exactly that good at as Football fans in England at the end of the day (or should I say many Owners aren't really interested in it and just the money but when you are struggling to survive something like this would be a lifeline to many Clubs I would thought).

Sad situation all around. Not sure of the answer, personally I hate Monday night matches.

There's a lot to admire about FCUOM, their values of putting fans first is something that has got a lot of really positive attention.

In that statement it says:

FC United has a proud history of campaigning for change on issues affecting the game and its supporters. The history of that protest has always been about respect for the integrity of the game and not disrupting the match or players. In that spirit, on this issue we believe that we need to make a stand. Protesting at the moving of this match to a Monday is a continuation of the campaign against kick off times and ticket prices supported by fans of clubs in this country and abroad.

Saying no to the FA but actually going ahead with it really doesn't smack of 'making a stand' to me, and almost makes them look a little bit silly. No problem with them entering the tournament, but if the FA want them to move the game for TV, something that they were created to stand against, they should absolutely refuse.
Arise, Sir Jimmy

It was definitely us as well - I even rewound the draw on Sky to check at the time and there looked to be a bit of a surprise but we definitely got a few boos.

The Levellers were a political movement during the English Civil War that emphasised popular sovereignty, extended suffrage, common land ownership, equality before the law, and religious tolerance, all of which were expressed in the manifesto "Agreement of the People". They came to prominence at the end of the First English Civil War and were most influential before the start of the Second Civil War. Leveller views and support were found in the populace of the City of London and in some regiments in the New Model Army.

Anyhow that was my argument recently with pal who is a massive fan and it sent him into a rage.

The only thing we could agree on is that they sold out.
