I think this season needs to be considered differently, for example Derby were riddled with Covid and HAD to field kids, otherwise they had to forfeit the match

From wiki - Hessenthaler is the son of former Gillingham player and manager Andy Hessenthaler, the nephew of Darren Hare, who has worked as the club's youth team manager, and the cousin of former Gillingham teammate Josh Hare.[18]

How can anyone take the competion seriously anymore when we struggle to beat the likes of MK Dons and Leeds get thrashed at Crawley.

Most clubs outside the top two leagues find the competition a nuisance that gets in the way of their league campaigns, thus their reasons for feilding weakened sides
The FA Cup died the year Man - Utd pulled out of it deeming it not important enough a competition.....tin pot since ..no one tries anymore till unfortunately they find them selves in the last four and decide to try a little harder.

Try to hide your bitterness a bit better would you.

Made his fame and fortune, does an half decent job on Heart radio and is lucky enough to play in the FA Cup for the first time at 33.

Plus he's got a fit wife.

Wish I'd followed his career path :roll:

Apart from the Championship last season, nothing of any note that I can see, I agree and don't get all the hype about him either.

They were knocked out by Colchester in 1971 when that Revie team was at its pinnacle but let's not shout too loudly given our record as a top flight team at home against non-league opponents (Wimbledon and Lincoln). :( :(
