FA Cup 4th Round - Derby v Leicester

[FOX Franks]

That is an excellent draw.

Well at least it stands a chance of being televised.... and I'll get to see it

Unless they're going to move the Burnley match, I would be surprised if it was 29th or 30th.

Fourteen Premier League teams are due to play that evening; nine or ten of them are still in the Cup. I very much doubt if all of them will play their 4th round games on the Friday or the Saturday.

Stands feck all chance I reckon. Manure, Man City, Arse and Spuds still in it.

There were six televised third round games, presumably it will be the same for the fourth round.

We last played them in the FA cup in 1909. I bet Boc was there cheering on the Fosse.

You know very well that I was watching Alf Commons banging them in at Ayresome Park in those days.

Feckin hell. Didn't realise that. They picked 6 games that didn't appeal in the slightest.

Actually there were seven, I forgot about the one that was on BBC Wales.

'Inaugural match of the Nigel Pearson trophy'

 

[Brown Nose]

Virtually impossible at this stage to get a TV gig in the FA Cup unless you're drawn against the 'big six'. I think five out of the six's matches got picked in round three.

I think I'm right in saying that Man Utd have had fifty five successive FA Cup ties selected for TV.

There's already a trophy. Goes nicely with the Premier League one.

I liked the suggestion that the losing team receives it too!

Barrow-Rochdale and Sutton-AFC Wimbledon on saturday. Cambridge-Leeds today.

Barrow-Rochdale and Sutton-AFC Wimbledon on saturday.

They weren't televised in the UK though.
I'd be happy with it being one of the Saturday games that's televised elsewhere in the world, there'd be a stream and the match can be played at the proper time.

Might be injured or have the team flu bug by then

We'll aren't you a bundle of fun

 

[martin peters]

Sheep fans have gone into meltdown on there sites, reckon there a dead cert for the 5th rd and Nuge is bound to score.

 

[give_us_a_wave]

Shame it wasn't last season, Would have been fun watching us put 6 past the ****ers.

Can we please make this a thing!

Derby get their glamour tie against the Champions, Leicester finally catch a break and draw some lower league rubbish. Every one's a winner.
