I'm in Iceland at the moment. Had no internet access until about 4'45, went straight on to Twitter and saw "Gillingwater makes a great save".
Fantastic result, made even more incredible by the circumstances. A very important win too I feel.

Am I right in saying that the 3rd Round last year was regionalised as North, South and South-West? Or was it just North and South?

What a game and what an heroic performance from 10 men and Gilly in goal (who made a top save in the second half, though thankfully wasn't tested as much as he could have been), amazing to think at 85 minutes we were going out, so delighted 
Admittedly, it wouldn't have been half as dramatic a game if Jamal hadn't been sent off (which I'll be interested to see what it was for, though with the reaction of players and fans and the ref going over to talk to the linesman, I feared the worst) and perhaps against a decent side, we would have been beaten today, but so much credit should go to the whole team for battling to get through today, a glorious Dunkley equaliser (another one of those memorable moments) and 2 great goals in ET when up until that point I would have been happy with a replay. The new signings Bunting and Ling I thought looked to be good additions to the squad too and the 3 defenders left were all superb I thought. Bring on the draw on Monday, just please can we have a home draw and not be drawn against Spalding

Can't say for sure, but either way it won't affect us, we literally could be going anywhere depending on which half we're in, so it could be Cornwall or it could be Northumberland again, who knows.Bob's Bitch wrote:Am I right in saying that the 3rd Round last year was regionalised as North, South and South-West?

Real entertainment and a marvellous cup tie that had it all. If we had of played the game with 11 till the end we wouldn't have needed extra time or we would have turned them over in a replay. Excellent performance from Gilly in the sticks and made a great save in the second half that Tom Cross would have been proud of. Not sure where Whybrow was, but I bet he's gutted he missed this one. Looked like a certain red from Jamal who after winning the tackle reacted to the opposing player by swinging an arm and grabbing the grounded player, poor showing. Top performances from Parky, Merrill and Dunks up top on his own. Bunts started well but seem to be more conservative after he got booked. Ling looked a threat when introduced and I don't think it'll be long until he's in the starting line-up. The Wembley march continues!
