We played Liverpool away 2 years ago in the 5th round, where we scored 4 goals and still lost.

Talking of the F.A Cup. Anyone remember Mansfield home (withdean)

There have been worse fa cup performances IMO in the not too distance past.
Sudbury, kingstonian, Lincoln and Hereford spring to mind

Did Canvey Island(away) turn us over during the mid 90's as well? Jeff Minton, Peter Smith etc.
We needed a replay to beat them.

I remember hearing (reading?) that he was sick on the pitch, got subbed at half-time as well, if I recall correctly. That match was just awful, weather was bad too and I left early with my 2 sons to get the bus back into town. Some old boy told us that Brighton had equalised in the last minute. I didn't find out that he'd lied to us and we'd lost till the next day. What a frigging wind-up merchant.

Kingstonian must have been by lowest point watching the Albion.

Remember dad phoning for tickets for that one as we were down the road from Canvey Island but it was sold out. Think it kicked off badly there too!

That was dire.
I've delved in to the archives and uncovered the player ratings...

Yeah remember it well, Mansfield were rock bottom in Lge 2 and hadnt won away all season until they came to the Withdean. Kuipers kept us in it for most of the game - we were dreadful
Yes, I remember this game. Really depressing. So glad we have a roof now - that'll help us when we next plumb the depths. I also saw the Lincoln, Hereford and the Sudbury exits. The Sudbury one was the most depressing of the lot because our club was in such trouble at the time. Hereford - we had the consolation that we had got the result in the recent previous encounter. I don't think Lincoln was a big shock at the time.

Just signed for Shamrock Rovers I believe. Where Colin Hawkins is the B team manager.

Best thing about that day was the strippers in the pub.
The Griffin?

I nearly missed kickoff that day!
This was the first game my mate's twins went to. We took them as a 'treat'. Luckily they both needed a piss just before Mansfield scored & to this day they think it was a 1-1 draw.

He played 13 more times that season (28 appearances in total) and then a handful the following season before deciding he wanted out. Towards the end, we had that 2-3 battering by Port Vale who were pretty useless that season, all but extinguished our playoff hopes.
