The best thing about FA Cup third round weekend is always the local radio commentary on the BBC highlights. 

Aye. 

I love these rounds of the FA Cup tbh, only English highlights I really make an effort to watch these days.

Just something genuinely special about the lower league sides having a fucking go at teams and the genuine excitement about it.

Watched some of the shocks.

Newcastle seed to dominate the first half, but Cambridge Keeper had a blinder. Cambridge scored their only chance.

Plymouth could have scored 5 past Blues, whereas Blues had one chance to equalise late in the game.

Kidderminster well worth their win over Reading, but half expected their winner to be disallowed for a foul on the GK.

I hate shit like this. Yes the train times are unfortunate but there are other ways of getting there lads. Every away game doesn’t have to be a piss up on a train with your fans getting off at the station and giving it the big un Football Factory style.

There is something of an obsession about train times amongst English football fans*.

Whenever the latest TV picks are announced, there’s always one fan group or another complaining about how the first or last trains don’t tie in with the kick off time. 

*And Aberdeen fans, come to think of it.

I follow several Nigels on twitter and most of them support lower league clubs and, quite literally, every 2nd tweet from a lot of them is gurning about train times.

Most English rail systems are decrepit and the kickoff times (5:30PM for overseas TV coverage of fucking Birmingham v Plymouth) are ostensibly ridiculous. 

Football fans should be more outraged about being treated with contempt by the footballing authorities and clubs. It's an old trope but it remains true that Germany has on the whole a much more civilised way of doing this.

Was at Wigan Blackburn yesterday. Rovers backup keeper had an absolute nightmare, at fault for all 3 goals. Winner was a cracking goal but his positioning was terrible. Just completely lost his confidence after his first error.

Good atmosphere even though the ground was only about half full with 4,000ish away fans. Frustrating to lose it at the last kick after equalising only a couple of mins earlier. Rovers recent FA Cup record and record at Wigan is terrible. Out in the 1st hurdle 5 years on the trot and no wins since 2007 respectively.
