The sort of goal he'd have dreamt about last night.

Expertly taken. Can they carry it through? Ipswich will come out after the break determined to deny them, but if Maidstone hold out, it'll be a great result.

Certain penalty not given. VAR would have sorted that, no problem 😊

Full strength or not, there’s 4 divisions between the teams.
This is brilliant for Maidstone

Proper cup tie that.

Did what my local lot couldn't do just over a year ago.
Well done Maidstone!

First club from outside the top five tiers of English football to reach the FA Cup fifth round since Blyth Spartans in 1977-78.

Feel for the keeper there

Game of his life and rather than being able to celebrate with his team mates and fans he’s being asked daft questions on how he feels

That I didn’t know.

What an achievement and what a performance. I was willing them not to concede in those closing minutes.

How could you not like big George Elokobi? Chuffed for Maidstone, played really well.

Maidstone was one of my most memorable ever away days. We arrived for the fourth division fixture to find only one chippy…

The poor south Asian girl unused to the accent exceedingly rare could not understand the lad at the front wanted a chip butty… after a long discussion about words for bread… the lad thought he had a lightbulb moment…. Chips and Warburton’s! Fully expected the girl to suddenly fully understand his request.

He scores big goals too. Three years ago he scored a stoppage time equaliser for Torquay against Hartlepool in the National League play-off final. Became the second Brazilian goalkeeper to score that week in English football after Alisson had done the same for Liverpool at West Brom.

He got a move to Port Vale on the back of his performance that day.

Absolutely cracking game that, got totally swept up in those final few minutes as if I was watching Burnley.

That will live long in their clubs history. Hopefully they get a great fixture in the next round.

I wonder what they will see as a great fixture. They are not going to get the 'easy home game' scenario so I expect they might be looking for a trip to a big ground to make some more money out of it.

If you offered them Man City, Liverpool, Man Utd or Newcastle away I think they'd snap your hands off. Semi-pro club, the money would make a massive difference. Currently 5th in NLS and pushing for promotion, this run might allow them to sign a couple of players in the last few days of the transfer window.
