FA Cup Third Round Draw

FA Cup was just drawn for the third round this afternoon and Fulham will be at home against Bristol Rovers.

I was personally hoping for a lower-league team away (for novelty value) but it's a good draw for us.

Time to tame some more wild Rovers.

 

didn't they loan one of our players last year? Timlin or someone?

 

You are not missing anything by being at home - the last time I went to rovers they were playing at Twerton Park, it was a hole and their fans were scum. The police were scum too. I have never been to the memorial ground though, but I doubt the mentality of the fans have changed. They threw a brick into a tightly backed fulham end that hit a young girl on the head and put her into hospital.

The highlights from that game were; they has a young keeper playing for them called Nigel Martin, he was absolute class; Jim Stanard got punched in the face by midget Gary Penrice and the ref did not notice it.

I hope we embaress them. COYW.

 

I actually saw Bristol Rovers' second-round FA Cup match (the first one, not the replay) at Leyton Orient while I was over in London last month. They're alright but the level of play in their league just shouldn't compare to Fulham. Still, we've had trouble with this kind of game in the last few years so no counting our chickens before they hatch.

 

The way we have been playing anyone can beat us. But, as true Fulham supporter, i will count my chickens right now.
