Eastleigh v Swindon FA Cup Round 1 - ko 7.55pm

[whitelion]

Kicking off this years FA Cup proper. Live on BBC2.

Wonder if Yaser Kasim will be playing?

 

[whitelion]

Kasim playing. Swindon used to have a lot of our ex-players.

Didn't that Branco used to play for us as well in the development squad?

Yes.

Bradley Barry and Anton Rodgers are also former players. The legend that is Jonathan Obika was there too.

What a save!!

Luke Williams was our youth coach.

Was? What's happened to him?? I thought he'd made a permanent move there.

Also, bearing in mind all the "sideways move" stuff that Swindon fans gave us when Greer left them, it's satisfying, not to mention mildly amusing, to now view them as a kind of dumping ground for all our really substandard players like George Barker and Anton Rodgers

Trying to interview the captain at half time and showing the dressing room - well call me old fashioned but........

Agreed. What a ridiculous thing to do.

I thought he'd gone as haven't heard much about him, but can't find anything conclusive.

Couldn't agree more, it felt totally awkward. Especially given Trevor Sinclair's wooden questioning style.

Good to see one team in red, one. in blue, in what look like proper football shirts, with the referee in black. All right and proper, as it should be,

Good spot! Hadn't seen that.

I'm finding the goalkeeper in pink a bit hard to spot, however. Surprised that was permitted, especially with the game on TV.

The ball is letting the side(s) down by having some pink on it. Peach maybe. A girly colour anyway.

Fair point. T'other one's in green, so he should be in a yellow jersey!
