• Stockport-Bolton (BBC 2)

This should be a spicy encounter, Stockport signed the Bolton skipper recently just to add fuel to the fire.

Great that the BBC have provided live coverage for the minnows.

It's tough for these non-league / lower league teams and a small cup run could make all the difference. Stockport have done magnificently to get themselves out of the Northern Premier and back among the "big boys" in the National League.

Think they're near neighbours too so could be a bit spicy.

I watched last nights game Solihull Moors v Wigan that went into extra time on ITV4.

Good to see teams that one doesn’t get the opportunity to see normally with the extra bit of determination because it’s the good old FA cup employed.

0-2 down already

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 7:54 pm**

Ten years from now we could be away at a joke club in the first round.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 7:55 pm**

Oh Lors! That's tragic, that really is.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 7:55 pm**

that defender couldn't do that if he tried, even Ronaldo would struggle with that type of skill

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:12 pm**

1-2 peno.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:13 pm**

Decent cup game so far

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:15 pm**

That’s hilarious

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:15 pm**

Great entertainment.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:15 pm**

1-3
What a shambles.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:15 pm**

Keeps fault

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:17 pm**

Oh deary me!
Defensive lunacy

Yes, but the defender, if he's decided to take control, should head it for a corner.
You know that at any level.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:25 pm**

Great entertainment for the neutrals, but the defending or lack of is comical to behold.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:27 pm**

This is a laugh a minute. Looks like there's more goals and fun to come too.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:34 pm**

3-2 now

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:35 pm**

it's a cracking game, more entertaining than most PL games that's for sure

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:36 pm**

More atmosphere than most PL games too

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:37 pm**

Stockport need to get Freaky Francis on.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:40 pm**

Who do you want to win?

I'd lean ever so slightly towards Stockport, always had a soft spot for them after they could only find ~5000 fans for a trip to Wembley.

Stockport all day long, the underdog is what the FA cup is all about

I still have an aversion to Bolton.
10 years ahead of us...I hope not.
Funny, I'm sure most of us can remember Stockport being serious rivals.

I hope Stockport win this...
but I doubt they will.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:54 pm**

I’d like Stockport to win because I’d like a Stockport v Burnley 3rd round tie

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:00 pm**

Stockport win for me too.
It was my first ever visit to a league ground, in '63. I was an quietly excited 6 yo.
The Home end, a lot bigger now than then, was where my dad took me.
It was a 'dy' run for my first Clarets game at Stoke a few weeks later.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:04 pm**

I’d rather they both lose

I get that, not sure our younger fans would

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:28 pm**

Just been watching for the last 10 minutes, never thought I'd be rooting for Stockport County.

Sadly not an option CT.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:30 pm**

It's not for the want of trying by Stockport. Credit to them for giving it a go.

Stockport are a big part of our fairly recent history and rise to the top tier.

Couldn't really be a bigger contrast between us.

Attendance 10,084, fair play.

Coms:

Premier League referee in the making!
Lol
He wouldn't be allowed to let the play go on if that happens.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:33 pm**

How did they not score then!

There's a couple of thousand from Bolton so about as many as they took to Wembley. Not bad for a non league outfit.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:34 pm**

FA Cup. You can't beat it. The atmosphere is electric

What a great cup tie!

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:37 pm**

Really did deserve that third.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:37 pm**

Cracking game

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:38 pm**

Cracking watch.
Football like it used to be.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:39 pm**

I didn’t see a dive there but how has the red missed the shirt pull?

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:40 pm**

Should have been a fk outside the box.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:46 pm**

30 extra mins, proper cup tie this one, might even go all the way to pens.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:47 pm**

Nathan Delfouneso's barely touched the ball. Reminds me of his time with us.

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:47 pm**

Ground looks a bit different to one of my previous visits there.....

The "red" missed a shirt pull

... am not actually watching but isn't the ref wearing "black" not "red"

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:50 pm**

Bloody hell

I saw the first 5 mins before going onto a club meeting and thought it was going to be a walkover for Bolton

Looks like I was wrong

Posted: **Wed Nov 17, 2021 9:54 pm**

What a game this has been !
