Dear Sky Sports News - it isn't Tim Sherwood's Swindon. It isn't his first match in charge. They have another manager for crying out bloody loud.

Dear Sky Sports News - it isn't Tim Sherwood's Swindon. It isn't his first match in charge. They have another manager for crying out bloody loud.

The set up is odd. Tim, the so called Director of Football, is in charge of football recruitment, setting style of play, picking squads etc. The other guy is now just in charge of errrrrr putting cones out and taking training when Tim's gilet is in the wash. So essentially Tim in charge and the "manager" is his assistant.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

They gave Williams a five year deal earlier in the year, it's a strange club all round. Lee Power is a proper wide boy.

 

[YoungWolf]

Yeah Sherwood is basically manager now with Williams as a coach. Williams has been courted by premier league clubs - he is a seriously good coach.

Stourbridge - Whitehawk tonight. Langers, you going to the game?

Too bloody right - really chuffed it's on a Monday night as I can always make Mondays. Looking forward to it - should be a big crowd.

Pre match Bathams in the Royal Exchange is a good idea.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

Langers will be happy. Stourbridge have taken the lead.

 

[FrankMunro-371]

2 - 0 Stourbridge.

 

[Jolemai]

3-0

When you think the FA Cup is dead, you witness nights like tonight that show just how much it means to small clubs.

Unreal night tonight - never seen the War Memorial Ground like tonight. It was rocking. Fabulous atmosphere and fortunately the team rose to the occasion. An excellent display, especially the 2nd half. The difference in speed and intensity to their league games was ridiculous!!

They've now got Northampton at home in round 2. Probably the biggest game in the club's history.

Tonight was absolutely superb.

Glad you enjoyed it. I have often said that the FA cup is still a special competition. For clubs lower down the pyramid it is their chance to share the stage with a league club, and maybe pull off that big cup shock that makes the competition what it is. Stourbridge have now earned their chance to become giant killers. Northampton will not fancy going there. Good luck to the Glassboys.

Didn't they host and beat Plymouth a few years ago? I recall the match report on their website was a sight to behold :icon_lol:

They did - they drew at Home Park then beat them in the replay up here.

England lead, Lallana penalty though Vardy of last year would of buried that chance...no card for Reina either

 

[PuntsWolf]

It's not a red the rules have changed!

Clive and hoddle also not aware of the rule either...

 

[slink]

They also don't seem to be aware that it's a friendly, they were begging for at least a yellow which it definitely would have been during a competitive game. Good sensible refereeing.

 

[Del Woppio]

Phenomenal pass from Lallana. He's proving to be an incredibly influential footballer. Always had great tekkers and workrate, but really making it count in the last 12 months

 

[darlowolf64]

Lallana off injured and the ref has found where he was keeping his cards and is throwing them around with abandon

Swindon losing 2-0 at home to Eastleigh in the FA Cup replay... Wimbledon 3-0 up vs Bury

A surprise there. I thought Swindon looked quite good on Saturday against Charlton.
