Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

So would I but how did Tom Aldred manage it?
Was an appeal still in hand on Tuesday night (not that I'm suggesting Matty's red card should be appealed, rather have him out for as brief a period as possible).

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

I always thought a red card in league only meant league suspension

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

According to the sweet FA Website, Mr.Pearson is banned for 3 games, due to end on 11th February. Presumably his tackle was considered to be violent conduct or such.
Rule appears to be next three 'competitive' matches, league or Cup.:mad:

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

Asked on twitter if he was banned for the cup match, Matty P replied:

"yes"

to which he was cordially invited thus: "you should come in the away end, its going to be class!"

I'm sure that will help him get over the disappointment of missing the biggest game of the season.

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

You mean the latest biggest game...!

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

Surely the biggest game will be when we draw Man U in round 5.

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

Now now, we could end up with L'il Wigan if they overcome United in round 4. This on the other hand would suit me as it is a local match for me and I would get to stand in the away end :D

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

no notts county at home is more important.

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

Tom Aldred's red card was overturned on appeal

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

The 'biggest game' is not necessarily the most 'important'.
Yes, the league is important, nay vital!
But a home FA cup draw against Manchester United would be the 'biggest' game in the present clubs history, never mind the year!

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

yes i see a cup game against manchester united is a big game only for finances and the possibility of attracting a few more regular fans after it but i won,t be able to relax until we are safe in division 2 for another season thats why i put more importance to the notts county game. for me the fa cup is just a sideshow where you can relax and not be too bothered if we loose as there are no points lost.

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

That must be a first, Monkey Hanger; the words 'watching Stanley' and 'relax' in the same sentence! ;)

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

i can relax but only if we,re 3 up and its the last minuit of added time in the second half.

Re: Fa cup fourth round
 

I would not be able to relax in that scenario... :(

We would need to be at least 5 up!!! :D :D :D :D :D
