It’s brilliant, just watching a game like that (Leeds) it’s proper cup magic, absolutely love watching them kinda games. I always love the fa cup a chance to kick someone’s bigger ass, even if it was momentarily, just that goal, Crawley wow that’s amplification to get a goal a few minutes latter to add on top of the elation already there, such a shame there fans couldn’t be there to witness it. That’s football to me challenge, raise your game, compete and as a team be better than them. Football is good when it’s like this. You could actually see the way Leeds played after as a oh no moment. Nogger is good,

Nogger is good, TBF in these times of horrible Premier league dynasty the third round of the FA cup still has the magic. More so than any final I’d say, brilliant from Crawley. Alongside the play offs in all divisions they’re my favourite games to watch as a neutral |

Alongside the play offs in all divisions they’re my favourite games to watch as a neutral I just loved watching the under dog doing it for more than a moment. Brilliant to see the reaction of the Leeds players wanting to correct ‘the score’ that’s passion, a brief moment where you could see the collective better having to overcome the collective desire and will, am sure them in red tonight found energy they never knew they had, that’s sport, a great game to watch |

There was a point in the game they all felt there equal, a complete joy to watch. Hope there’s more of these games we can watch.

The fa cup is magic in the early rounds.
Sadly from round 6 onwards it tends to follow a usual pattern of big teams playing turgid football.
Years where the likes of wigan and ourselves getting to finals are very rare occurrences.

Fans watching from their back gardens, brilliant! I enjoyed the Exeter highlights last night where at one end of the ground there are a row of Victorian terraced houses. I wonder if they have to pay a premium🤔 |

Pity MON didn't realise it was the FA Cup, where upsets happen, if you try to win.

Some great bits of football played,thought Blackpool's second and Bournemouth's fourth were great team goals.
Swansea's second was also a nice goal: a simple piece of push and run to go past the defender on the outside and then whipping the ball in to the box...😡

When have Stoke (ever) beaten a higher division side in the FA cup? 1962 plus 3 others before anybody on this board was born (see previous thread) |
