What's with the 17.31 kos? Can't see anything anywhere but is there a tv match choice at 12.30 and 5.30?

They all kick off 1 minute "late". It's an FA initiative to encourage fans to think about mental health for 1 minute. I guess a minutes silence for reflection or something.

How depressing. Before going to watch your team play, which should be enjoyable unless you support the Rags, they want you to think about mental health whilst your team is walking out the tunnel.

Surely they could have come up with something actually that will actually help make a difference?!

Like donating their cut from all third round games to a mental health charity.

Oh no, that costs money, the minute is free. Gimmick.

The one minute aside, why aren't we 3 o'clock? (Or 3.01 as the case may be)

Maybe we are on tv somewhere else in the world? Does seem an odd KO time

It is being broadcast on DAZN.COM at 18.30 ( well 18.31 ) CET if you have a pan-germanic speaking VPN contract. May even be on Eurosport.

Or Roja Directa whilst I'm over here in Spain which is a bonus for this and the game against the red shite on Tuesday

It's streaming over here on ESPN Plus, but they show 78 of the 123 FA Cup games from the first round to the final.

They should kick off at 17:29 so that all of those watching dodgy feeds see the KO at 17:30.

Thought it was an extra minutes rest since the last game.

I really want us to stuff the rags on Tuesday. For me that game is miles more important.
So pep please pick the strongest team for the rags game. Then rest them all for the game against port vale.

think we will see a mixed bag again on Saturday and a stronger team on Tuesday. Hopefully, Pep prioritises the red shite game but who the fuck can say with him?

Ed isnt unwell anymore. Beaming from ear to ear in training.

Pope of Porte Vale vying for boos from City fans, although picking on Stones is pretty weak.

Maybe he should get some faux cheers instead?

Should be quite a big religious event tonight , all merrily singing "Joy, joy, joy deep down in my heart ", what with the Pope and Jesus going head to head in today's clash.

We on TV?

Nope

Hence the question about 5.30. We seem to have concluded it's because of viewing opportunities around the world for the good old FA
