Everton v Fulham: FA Cup 4th Round

[SoCalJoe]

Let's see; 16 away matches in all competitions (not including the Europa qualifying) and a not so sterling record of 2 wins, 8 losses, and 6 draws. Throw in that it's at Goodison, where the club hasn't won at since 1975 and .....

A few facts from 1975
• Gerald Ford was the President
• "Mandy" by Barry Manilow was the #1 song in Jan of '75
• The Pet Rock was the fad of the year (April 75)
• Jaws would be the #1 at the box office (released June of '75)


a 2-1 win for the Mighty Whites

Grant Wahl is twittering that Everton has given FOX permission to use the live feed of the match. He says that means it will likely be online - dont know if that means streams or Foxsoccertv.

[DCHeather]

I believe that means both.

However, I am not seeing it listed on the foxsoccer.tv page yet. Probably just haven't updated it yet.

EPL Talk are reporting the match will be on Foxsoccer channel at 3pm.

But I still don't see the foxsoccer site updated.

Fox finally came to their senses:

FOX Soccer has made special arrangements to televise a live broadcast of Friday’s FA Cup match between Everton and Fulham, which will possibly feature Clint Dempsey playing against Landon Donovan for the first time since 2006.

From FSC's official twitter:

We are pleased to announce that we will be showing Everton v Fulham FA Cup LIVE this Friday 3pm ET on @FOXSoccer

I guess sometimes good things can happen!

Let's see if it works this time. Thanks to WhiteJC for finding. From 1975, the 5th round win at Everton and an interview w/Viv Busby who scored both calls. Also see some of the clubs great players in extended action (Bobby Moore, Les Barrett, Allen Mullery, and Jimmy Conway)

Awesome news! Now I just wish I didn't have to work. I will definitely be recording it so I'll have to avoid all Facebook and Twitter for a few hours.

I heard them announce their coverage of the match while watching the Citeh v. Liverpool Carling Cup match. Evidently, they're going to block out the usual feed and give us JP Dellecamara and Eric the Wynalda. I don't usually like that arrangement because the commentary is too tied to the camera, but at least it's being broadcast.

When I check my cable "tv guide," they still had other programming listed. So, if they haven't made arrangements by match day, just set your DVR for the time period NOT for the program.

I'm hoping to watch live and get a View From South Texas up as soon as possible. I think we have a shot at this. And, if we do, I'll lead the

Directv lists it at 6PM in the guide but http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/tvschedule shows at 3 PM Live so I think we are good.

Echo SoCalJoe.. Welcome, horleywhites.

I just hope it's the second half team from the Newcastle that shows up tomorrow. And if that's the team that shows, we should be able to win... especially since Everton's has only won 3 games out of 11 at home.

Everton's home record
3 wins, 3 draws, 5 losses.


But this is Fulham's away record
Fulham's away record
1 win, 5 draws, 5 losses

[nevzter]

Does a draw equate with a home fixture in this round? Or does it go to extra time?

If you can't tell, I'm too lazy to use the Google-machine.

I like Fulham's chances, but don't necessarily believe in a victory - oh, so Fulhamish.

[DCHeather]

Well I googled it and found out an interesting tidbit from Wiki:

The competition is a knockout tournament with pairings for each round drawn at random. There are no seeds and the draw for each round is not made until after the scheduled dates for the previous round. The draw also determines which teams will play at home.
Each tie is played as a single leg. If a match is drawn, there is a replay, usually at the ground of the team who were away for the first game. Drawn replays are now settled with extra time and penalty shootouts, though until the 1990s further replays would be played until one team was victorious. Some ties took as many as six matches to settle; in their 1975 campaign, Fulham played a total of 12 games over six rounds, which remains the most games played by a team to reach a final. Replays were traditionally played three or four days after the original game, but from 1991–92 they were staged at least 10 days later on police advice. This led to penalty shoot-outs being introduced. Replays are no longer held for the semi-finals or final.
