Probably wouldn’t go ahead if it was a league game .

Wigan on top although York might have had a penalty for handball had they been playing in Europe !

Fog isn't that dense. TV and stadium lights make it seem worse than it is.

Sounds like defensive mistakes will be our downfall, which is the least shocking news ever 

Notts County and Wrexham games should be live on TV every week. Guaranteed drama and goals. 

[spacemunky]

Sounds like we were the better team, but...same old issue of gifting goals.

Just seen the goals.

Shocking defending!

It's not even shocking to me, at this point

Not sure which one was the worse. The third was comical.

[Leicester_Loyal]

That Notts County defending looks like match fixing!

Right?

Oh dear Alfreton v Walsall off - apparently the home side are saying they wanted to play but Saddlers didn't.  

[isaidno]

That's pretty bad that it's called off 5 minutes before kick off. Surely the conditions haven't changed in the last couple of hours. 

[Lcfc82]

Walsall manager was desperate for it to be called off.

Sounds like it was pretty frozen when the teams got there tbh.

If it was, why has the ref said it was playable all the way up to kick off. Unless under pressure as it was on TV

Frit obviously 

[Corky]

It cannot be called off that late without a sudden weather change. 5 minutes before kick off is unacceptable.

I don't like Matterface but fair play to ITV for sending their first choice commentators to these games, gives the match full respect.

[Nalis]

Fair play to Reading for the protest and to be fair to Sam Matterface he did his research on the Reading scenario.

[Tuna]

Sad to see Reading in such a mess

[Super_horns]

Excellent wins for Chesterfield and Eastleigh.

Of course we have the Wrexham match televised here.

[The Bear]

We've had an frankly unbelievable run of 3rd Round draws. 8 out of the last 9 have been Premier League teams and the other one was a team just relegated. 

 

2016: West Ham (PL)
2017: Stoke (PL)
2018: Swansea (PL)
2019: Liverpool (PL)
2020: Man Utd (PL)
2021: Crystal Palace (PL)
2022: Sheff Utd
2023: Liverpool (PL)
2024: Brentford (PL)

 

The odds on that would be staggering. 

[isaidno]

The 3 non league teams through so far all got poor draws. Possibly an all non league tie though if Barnet win their replay.

[spacemunky]

Harsh on Yeovil to give up that second goal after really coming into the match.
