FA Cup 4th Round Draw Thread

[IanMcL]

I'd actually like a ridiculous trip to Exeter City, as never seen us play there!

Always torrential rain when we go there!

[wilks_bfc]

I won’t be able to attend as I’m away that weekend for friends birthday so I’m hoping for a “nothing” draw

Do you mean Man City away?

[Loyalclaret]

Exeter, Dagenham & Redbridge or Tamworth please

Thought i'd been Exeter but must have got mixed up with Torquay.

[wilks_bfc]

Do you mean Man City away?

Well admittedly I wouldn’t feel too bad about missing that one

[Venkys4eva]

I remember leading there 1-0 and john pender hit a home goal and it ended 1-1. Im fairy certain it was exeter and around newyear time. The healine in the telegraph was 'captain clanger' .. was a long journey back.

Exeter City at home

[CryerBFC]

No such game in the FA Cup. Lincoln at home ring any bells?

City away, get pumped 4-0, focus on winning the league.

The only benefit of a PL tie could be the potential for us to see how SP would set up against a PL side, and see just how far off we would be next season, should we go up.

Yeah, we might keep City down to 2 or 3.

[ClaretTony]

Exeter
Mansfield or Wigan
Hull or Doncaster
Plymouth
Wycombe

Any of the above at home.

Hull or Doncaster is now Doncaster

[1989_claret]

Did we play Dagenham and Redbridge in the early 2000's?
Could've been Rushden and Diamonds...

Got beat by Rushden & Diamonds in the League Cup at home.

Right in the middle of that great start to the season. Stan made changes and they beat us.

Like we saw against Man. City last time we played them in the FA Cup.

[pureclaret]

if we get Rovers away will they HAVE to give us the entire end because of the rules ? That would be funny

I think we would still only get 4700 as that is the amount they have to give us and they would claim that on police advice they may only give us 4000.

[dougcollins]

Hull or Doncaster is now Doncaster

Doncaster away wasn't often a happy trip.

1991 being a big exception, really enjoyed that.

[Muric Leggings]

Blackburn at home please we always beat them

[ClaretTony]

I saw us win at the old ground four times I think and twice at the new ground. The one you refer to was the 4-1 I assume but we went back later in the season and beat them in the FA Cup after a draw on the Turf.

Yes, I didn't make the cup game.

Aye, Billy Whitehurst sent off for a 2nd Yellow, and a really clever goal from Mark Yates, I recall ?

I was at that game. It hit one of the corners of Big Johns forehead.

We were in a pub pre match. Came out to head to the ground and had a police escort, including horses, that outnumbered us.

[Rileybobs]

Cruel on Arsenal who were robbed of a replay at Old Trafford.

[claretblue]

we’ll draw Exeter City at Turf Moor!

[ElectroClaret]

Leeds v Millwall if the Lions beat Dagenham & Redbridge.

Nice friendly occasion

[Commy]

Man City still there.

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Awful draw

[ElectroClaret]

Saints away.

[jos]

Long trip

[Dyched]

Southampton

[dougcollins]

Oh ffs.

We were owed a home tie.

[Colburn_Claret]

********
It's a good match up, but all the way to the Southcoast.
They'll probably make it 8.00 Thursday night with our luck.

[Buxtonclaret]

At least it wasn't Citeh.

[Stayingup]

Oh ffs.

We were owed a home tie.

Never seems to happen lately. Well we'll just have to win at St Mary's and hope for one next round.

[Roosterbooster]

Oh ffs.

We were owed a home tie.

I make that 8 away cup ties in a row

Horrid draw. Not on TV. Likely to get stuffed. Away again. Long trip. Home match postponed.

[lakedistrictclaret]

I despair of ever seeing an F. A. Cup tie at Turf Moor again.

[dsr]

Southampton are the only PL team at home to a lower league team. 4 other PL teams are at home to PL teams, and 8 are away to lower league teams.

[agreenwood]

It’s incredible how many away draws we get in the cups.

[FCBurnley]

Think they Palm our ball until the longest away trip comes up then boom number 5 Burnley will travel to Southampton.

[chekhov]

I despair of ever seeing an F. A. Cup tie at Turf Moor again.

There were two from two years ago: Ipswich and Fleetwood.

[Rileybobs]

Ipswich was a replay though wasn’t it?

[Leisure]

Likely to get stuffed.

How have you come to that conclusion???

[Vegas Claret]

the THB derby

[ClaretTony]

There were two from two years ago: Ipswich and Fleetwood.

One of which was a replay

[agreenwood]

Ipswich was an away game. We came back to TM for a replay.

That year 3 of the 4 FA Cup games were away draws.

[Robbie_painter]

We’ll do Southampton

[ClaretTony]

Dreadful draw

[NickBFC]

A boring draw, but certainly winnable.

[ksrclaret]

Oh dear. Was really hoping for a decent home tie to make up for losing Oxford, a very rare 3pm Saturday game.

[AlargeClaret]

By rights we should be looking at having a real go at a club stone bottom of the prem and perhaps barely a place above us come Feb. That said I think they’d make mincemeat of yesterdays XI and you get the feeling this game will be low priority.
