FA Cup Weekend

Postby Beefymcfc » Sat Jan 07, 2012 12:56 pm

I always love the 3rd round of the FA Cup weekend, the giant-killing and all that, but for the life of me I cannot see one game on TV for Saturday. Is there no interest out there, especially considering all these games?

Saturday, 7 January 2012
The FA Cup with Budweiser


Birmingham v Wolverhampton, R3, 12:30
Dag & Red v Millwall, R3, 13:00
Barnsley v Swansea, R3, 15:00
Brighton v Wrexham, R3, 15:00
Coventry v Southampton, R3, 15:00
Crawley Town v Bristol City, R3, 15:00
Derby v Crystal Palace, R3, 15:00
Doncaster v Notts County, R3, 15:00
Doncaster OFF Sutton Utd, R3, 15:00
Everton v Tamworth, R3, 15:00
Fleetwood Town v Blackpool, R3, 15:00
Fulham v Charlton, R3, 15:00
Gillingham v Stoke, R3, 15:00
Hull v Ipswich, R3, 15:00
Macclesfield v Bolton, R3, 15:00
Middlesbrough v Shrewsbury, R3, 15:00
MK Dons v QPR, R3, 15:00
Newcastle v Blackburn, R3, 15:00
Norwich v Burnley, R3, 15:00
Nott'm Forest v Leicester, R3, 15:00
Reading v Stevenage, R3, 15:00
Sheffield Utd v Salisbury, R3, 15:00
Swindon v Wigan, R3, 15:00
Tottenham v Cheltenham, R3, 15:00
Watford v Bradford, R3, 15:00
West Brom v Cardiff, R3, 15:00
Bristol Rovers v Aston Villa, R3, 17:30

Is it only going to be streams today or are any of them being shown on some obscure channel?

Here's Sunday's:

Sunday, 8 January 2012
The FA Cup with Budweiser


Man City v Man Utd, R3, 13:00
Chelsea v Portsmouth, R3, 15:00
Sheffield Wed v West Ham, R3, 15:00
Peterborough v Sunderland, R3, 15:30

Don't do ESPN. Looks a gash game though.

1323: Like just about everything else in this half, it comes to nothing and that is half-time. Pretty forgettable stuff, but we're only warming up. There's another 45 minutes for amends to be made before it really gets crazy at 1500 GMT.

1423: There are some Birmingham fans who have seen enough and are heading for the exits. To be fair, if they'd left half-an-hour ago they wouldn't have missed much more.

This afternoon I shall be mainly supporting FLEETWOOD. Anyone with a manager called Micky Mellon gets my vote.

Is the newcastle - blackburn game on TV? I can't seem to find it anywhere and you'd think it'd be the one they'd highlight

There's always been a gap but the gap seems wider for every campaign.
I doubt there will be any giant killing this afternoon. Macc is the best bet atm. They're actually at level with Notlob. Macc's been the better team so far.
Swindon have looked lively vs Pie but a penalty conversion for Wigan may damper Swindon a bit.

Fleetwood could well have a goal in them, Vardy is looking useful (for their level). They're a goal down at halftime though.

Vardy got the goal he deserved, Fleetwood are 1-3 behind at the moment though.

Wow bristol's pitch is among the worst I've ever seen. Ireland is playing well again, although TBF bristol is a defensive shambles.
