Scunthorpe United (H) F A Cup 1st Round Saturday 8/11/08.

Fri Oct 31, 2008 9:35 am

The F A cup has many ups and downs for the Saddlers , unforgetable victories over the Mighty Arsenal , Newcastle United and Manchester United , defeats at the then non league Yeovil and more recently Slough the lows.

A repeat of our first win of the season will do however I fear the Irons will force a replay.

1-1.

1-2 to them, I fear. They look at good side at the mo, and I'm not sure we do. Still, if we win tomorrow and Tuesday and find our best team selection, we may reverse my prediction.

Big 'if' though. That reminds me of a wonderful story about the Spartans and their wars with the Greeks, but this is neither the time nor the place... :oops:

They looked an excellent side at our place until the guy got sent off (yes, I know that was only about 10 minutes in). Without the red card I think we'd have been at serious risk of a proper thrashing.

I can only see this as the end of our FA cup run I can see us being on the wrong side of 5-0 thrashing.

Well apart from the fact I doubt there'll be that many there, there is also no extra time in the first game :mrgreen:

4-0 Scunthorpe. 3500 in attendance. Mullen to blame kit man for defeat. Then deflect post match explaination of another poor team performance by discussing Barack Obama.

Walsall 1 Scunny 1. Late late equaliser from Jabo, earning us a money spinning replay.

cyclothymic to suddenly bolt from his seat in the second half and run towards the away fans shouting algebraic formulae :|

Seven subs per side for this game.

Assuming Mullen isn't about to use those out of favour, it could be interesting.
