Was a great day that one, brilliant goal from Ranks, though the FA Cup had been quite painful for RDFC in the 00s, was it something like 4 years in a row we were knocked out in the 2nd round? Particularly infuriating the year we lost a very winnable tie at home to fellow BSP club Tamworth (I think it was!) and then I think they then drew Norwich in the 3rd round :twisted:TheIncognitoKid wrote:Rankine also scored a cracker from range when we knocked out Yeovil a couple of seasons previous 3-1therushden wrote:i remember matt smith on itv fa cup highlights show saying, common sense prevailing there. the bloody yeovil player was interfering with play, obstructing the keeper. robbed.
we never had any luck against them. rankine doing somersaults was the only highlight.
And then of course there was Brighton (the 2009 game) where we were unlucky not to at least force a replay, wasn't there, but I remember Tommo terrorising their defence and we scored 2 cracking goals, just a shame we made some costly mistakes.
