TheBigDog Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Coming up to 10 pages of people telling us they don't give a :censored: about this comp I don't...but I did follow the text/tweet updates on Latics wall t'other evening. Punched the air too when I saw that Croft had scored the winning pen. I do give a :censored: about my team though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diego_Sideburns Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Matt Chambers @Matt_Chambers_ 12h12 hours ago Walsall tie could be on Wed, Dec 7. Latics may yet play Lincoln on Sunday 4th. Won't know until FA Cup replays are done if on BBC. #oafc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty Burns Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 What for? You give your opinion & I give mine. Just because mine isn't :censored: and involves watching my team at Wembley again doesn't mean I should get a badge. But hey if you can sit at home while the team youve supported & watched for years plays at Wembley you can say you have morals right? Enjoy that because it won't change a thing! No, yours isn't :censored:. It's :censored:in unbelievably :censored:!!! It also involves telling other people that you know how they think, and that you know for a fact that just because you are a shallow sell out then everybody else is too, they just don't know it yet. Wow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also involves telling other people that you know how they think, and that you know for a fact that just because you are a shallow sell out then everybody else is too, they just don't know it yet. Wow. What makes me laugh is that the Premiership and the Football League parasites who have dreamt up this abomination (with the long term interest to infiltrate lower leagues permanently with their B/U23 teams) are preying on the starvation of money at this level and the loyalty of fans to garner an interest in it. Boy, haven't some of them fallen for it hook, line & sinker. I bet they then scoff at things like football agents and Rooney's wage while failing to see the irony. The only way to rid ourselves of the Check-a-scab trophy is to wholesale boycott it. At whatever cost.

Maybe they see things exactly how they are & haven't fallen for a single thing but still want to go and watch their team when they play.

piglinbland Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Fans can boycott if they wish, as it's a :censored: cup. But the team must turn up and battle each round as if it's the play-off final in order to garner mettle, mental strength and a winning mindset. In this respect, we may actually benefit from progression in the tournament. Injuries notwithstanding, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsslatic Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Yet the FL appear to be pissed off about it - it's the FA's rightful insistence that FA Cup games should be at weekends that has done for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Interesting one this. It's a crap cup, and has struggles in all it's guises, be it Simod, ZDS or whatever, attendeances have always been porBut, it's a chance to get to Wembley for our level, so deserves proper assesment. My view B Teams. The huge worry is thin end of the wedge, and B Team into the League by the Back Door. A scucessful boycott has menat it will always struggle Reject at all costs Conference Teams. The problem is it then devalues the FA Trophy, and the FAT should be supported for the same reasons as Bteasm being imposed on us Reject that solution Celtic League As in the old Anglo Scottish but maybe incl, Welsh/ Irish. This was my preferred, but many argue the travelling costs are too high Probably would not work for any tlength of time PRe Season competion Well, crowds cannot get much lower, and it might wspice thigs up Abandon it altogether I think this is the utimate solution as it has never worked. It will always operate at a loss, until the final. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
