I'd have thought this sort of game would have suited Ange. Basically 90% of Celtic fixtures.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Aye you've got to give massive credit to Tamworth for the organisation, work rate and tenacity. They've been really good, really busy and done really well to still maintain a threat on the break.

Spurs have been shameful. Slow, lazy, uninspiring, absolutely no invention

Remiscent of how we played at Chorley. Just rocked up and expected it to happen.

 

[Del Woppio]

It's not even as if Tamworth have spent 90 minutes with ten men behind the ball defending the box. They've only dropped in the last ten minutes.

On this evidence Tamworth are a damn sight better than most of the Scottish clubs outside of Glasgow tbh.

Timo Werner has to be the biggest fraud in top level football. I wouldn't want him at a League One club.

No replay here a bit of a shitter but guess the new deal benefits everyone rather than just the team lucky enough to get a good draw and replay

Yeah, that argument has always been hokum. No one plays for a replay and Tamworth have far more chance of winning on pens here than going to Spurs and winning.

 

[pagey]

What ever the result Tamworth can be proud.

Another TV game and the gate money from Spurs is worth far more than getting in the next round though.

 

[Alan]

Is Tamworth's pitch particularly small or are the camera angles playing tricks on me?

 

[sycophantia]

Yeah Tamworth have been quality, not just 10 men behind the ball and hoof it.
It's games like this (whatever the result) that makes me still rate FA cup.

 

[sycophantia]

Nope, it's just all the players are really, really big.

Yeah that's what sets clubs up for years

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Yeah that's what sets clubs up for years

But you only get it through luck, you can't plan for it

Stand is small so the main camera lower than normal

Obviously it's not as easy as just making it so, but it feels like a bit of a red herring to me; if the lack of replays is costing clubs cash, the FA should make up that difference.

The lack of replay shouldn't exclude the financial incentives, ideally.

Disclaimer: I know less than absolutely fuck all about how the FA's finances work.

That part at least I was able to clock

It's not that. It's taking games out of the calendar (primarily to benefit teams who are in Europe)

Not sure I understand what you mean here (in a truly clueless way, not a "that makes no sense" way).

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Incidentally Tottenham have a midweek game (1 x PL, 2 x Europa League, 1 x League Cup) for the next 4 weeks. So where is a replay supposed to go
