The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

It's FA Cup day!!!!! Come on you boys!

The odds of 16/10 or 1.6 don't take my fancy, bedfont are just over 4/1 I believe? Any non league expert done any accumulators on the cup today?

Where on Earth did you get those odds? They're either pie in the sky or the draw is ridiculously short? :lol:

Rushden are 8/13, whilst B&F are 7/2. Away from home those odds are too short IMO.

sounds like a right old game. missed pens, sendings off, straight reds. goals disallowed.
1-1 both down to ten men.

two one to us

FT 2-1, sounds like it was a close game, but it's a potential banana skin avoided, so I'm delighted with that regardless

Home draw next round please!

Woohoo.

This change of shape is really benefitting us, another great professional away performance. Quigley's recent goalscoring record is simply astonishing. Three wins away from Bramall Lane. #believe

Not as close as the score would suggest. Diamonds probably had 65% possession.
B & F very few chances, whereas Diamonds should have made their possession count and score 3 or 4.

Strange game, as it certainly was not a dirty one, as all the red and yellow cards would suggest. Jack can have little to complain about, but Sams booking was absurd.
I wonder how many aircraft landed in the 90 mins ? It was quite surreal seeing so many so low in the sky.

Now a home tie in next round please.

Please someone correct me if I am wrong but I believe Findlays penalty save was the first by a Diamonds keeper in our history.

He saved 1 against holbeach last season but they scored from the rebound

Well it was a 2-1 thrashing in the sense that we dominated but we like to make life difficult for ourselves. With the excpetion of the Bedford game we've had difficulty creating chances and we also had trouble with that today I thought even against obviously inferior opposition. We missed Scott Joseph in that regard. Ashton's red card was bonkers - what was he thinking?

Bedfont & Feltham were pretty good on the counter attack but that was about all they could offer. Their goalkeeper had a tag on, not sure i've seen that before.

Glad to be through and into the next round. A home draw against similar opposition would be nice, failing that a trip to Stockport or FCUM would be a bit of a treat!

I was thinking a trip to either one of those would be good as well, especially financially. But I assume we won't be in their region unless we change regions for the next draw?
