A one off game ? Does that mean if we the first team win Saturday we get into a semi final ?

My mistake they beat Norwich in the last round too, so thats good ...
Glad you have understood the concept of a 'CUP' competition as opposed to a friendly or league
Thank you for that, without you I would have been lost .....
For balance, I believe that the Iceland national side is a little stronger than Eastbourne Borough.
Mar Larrussen, scored four in his first Albion game at U18 level, at the age of what, 15?
I have seen him play on many an occasion, good luck to him ....

Silly old bat
Was it a comparison? I was correcting you on the progress in the FA cup in 2006, but also pointing out that our U21s were not outclassed last night.
Edit to add that the players that our youth team came up against in 2005/06 were the likes of Bridcutt and LuaLua.

[MENTION=5101]BigGully[/MENTION] - you are so blinkered by your firmly-held anti-everywhere-but-Sussex bias that you don't even see it. You accuse me of misrepresenting you, and then two hours later go and repeat exactly what I've accused you of.

Absolute rubbish, where have I mentioned Molumby in derogatory terms, you can choose to say that Molumby is in your eyes the best, I am saying its unlikely in the context of what Premier League clubs might consider to be the very best young players in the UK and beyond, its one thing to be hopeful and see some potential but its another thing to categorise him in such a way, my point about the penalty successes holds true by the way .....

Probably worth noting that the population of Icelan is over 3x that of Eastbourne and, more significantly, the average age of Eastboune residents is 71 (source - ONS). I'd imagine that there's a limited talent pool of 14-21 year old footballers.
It was slightly tongue in cheek, but you can wrap Iceland's population, climate, history and Geysers how you like but it hardly offers much football heritage does it, alas thats why some academy manager decided to sign our first youth International in the opening year of our training centre from there and not some more credible country and put it on the website, whilst quietly squirting out some long established aspiring young academy graduate .......
