a1canary 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Passing game out the window, heavy pitch, aerial bombardment etcI can see a horrible game, going to extra time, leaving us totally knackered for Leicester. I would favour a bit of rotation and a chance for the fringe players but most of them have left!We could really do without this... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wings 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Leicester must be laughing; Roeder has got to play a weakened side to ensure we''re fresh and fit to face them. The League must take priority. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thecanaryfan 0 Posted January 15, 2008 Have spoken to a couple of mates I know from Bury this morning and they don''t seem to think the pitch will be that bad tonight. Think it rained quite alot during the night but stopped at about 8 in the morning apparantly. Being season ticket holders hey reckon the ground staff will do a decent job with the pitch pending no further rain. Lets just hope the clouds done open up again between now and 9.30 or else you may be right.....horrible match ensues! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bradley1 0 Posted January 15, 2008 I have been to the ground and the pitch is in brilliant condition. A bit disrespectful to say mudbath. I think you will be very surprised we have a nice ground, pitch and we dont play hoof ball.Get your facts straight and have a good day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grando 210 Posted January 15, 2008 Football sacrilege, Pete! Bert Trautman''s broken neck, the famous sloping pitch, City''s run of ''59, jumpers for goalposts - it''s the magic of the cup, isn''t it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The magic of the FA Cup died many years ago.[/quote]only because club managers have made it this way.... of course u wont beat Manchester utd or chelski if u play 5-4-1.. chances = goals... sticking everyone behind the ball wont beat them... The reason managers are scared of getting a tonking if they play 4-3-3 at Stamford Bridge is because they have never tried! people turn up with the attitude of "we have lost already" take the game to them, suprise them BEAT them.... they are human and can make mistakes... if i wa sa football manager i wouldnt stick everyone behind the ball and hope at old Trafford. As for Tonight.. Hereford vs Newcastle was a mudbath in the 70''s.... Glynn hurst to do a Ronnie Radford for Bury perhaps?jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Rons Brain 0 Posted January 15, 2008 What about 89 + 92 cup runs, even last years away day at Chelsea. I''m afraid the only reason people talk about lost magic of the cup is due to increasingly cynical journalism, and unfortunately, if you call something enough times it will eventually become that thing. Anyway, am glad some feel like that, will give me more of a chance for getting my ticket for the final ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blahblahblah 2 Posted January 15, 2008 What about our trip to Tamworth ? They wouldn''t have had a chance to host us any other way.Not to mention Chasetowns'' victory over Port Vale. Try telling them the FA Cup is dead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Syteanric 1 Posted January 15, 2008 thats exactly the point.. go up to a havant and Waterlooville fan and tell them the FA cup has lost its magic... tell them that again 2 weeks time when they could be walking out onto the pitch at anfield...what other competition in the world offers some nobody that chance?jas :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky green trainers 0 Posted January 15, 2008 bet roedy has been told by doncaster that the transfer pot fell into a black-hole tea-time monday, and that we need a cup run to finance the extra bodies we need. expect a blood and thunder display - but glad the bury manager has gone - no grudge match - but agree i praying for no injuries, a win (against rational judgment) and hope we''re not too knackered come saturday!!!

Quantum 0 Posted January 15, 2008 From the Bury website...Form Guide - Norwich City: Over the last six games, Norwich havewon just one game, ironically on Saturday at Barnsley, drawn four (Buryat home, Crystal Palace away, Wolves and Charlton at home) and lost one(Scunthorpe United away). The Canaries have scored seven goals andconceded six goals.Somebody did their research. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
