I'm watching this link through First Row of the League Cup match tonight:
http://www.thefirstrow.eu/watch/158453/1/watch-swansea-city-fc-vs-middlesbrough.html
The other semi-finalist from last night's ties is Aston Villa, so Chelski really are the last big club in the competition. Could be Bradford, Villa, Boro and Leeds in the semis - wow!
0-0 so far 20 minutes in - the best chances falling to the Premiership side so far, of course.
Hey Bob
I am here.
I have the FA Cup match Mansfield vs Lincoln on the box and will put on your link for the League Cup match
What a final four it could be... don't blow it Chelsea and join them.. they'll have jet lag going to Elland Road!
I have joined the match at the 37 minute mark. Still scoreless. I think I would prefer Swansea more than Boro... they're not as big a club and probably never been in a Cup Final
Lincoln have just tied it up at Mansfield
1-1
Cool finish.. just pops it up over an onrushing keeper
1 added minute in Wales.. still scoreless
Half time 0-0
Of course, the winner of the match on the telly get to host LIVERPOOL in the late match on Sunday Jan 6
Again, my commiserations to Stevie for yesterday's result. I was watching it on line... they did struggle all game!
Bradford have won NINE straight penalty shoot outs!! England should bring them in the squad for the World Cup or Euros!
A good 12 hours for Bradford City, they have been reinstated to the FA Cup after first being kicked out of the competition for fielding an illegal player.
They get to take on Brentford in a replay and would play Southend in the 3rd Round
Just saw that they are also in the Johnstone's Plaint Trophy semi too!!
WHAT A CUP TEAM!
1-1 at half time in the Battle of the Blue Square Prem for the right to host Liverpool
Half time at Swansea and, in the words of Tony Cottee, "it's been poor." 0-0 so far with the Premiership side the better but definitely resting their players for the punishing Premiership campaign.
Hiya Bob
Afternoon, UWS - sorry, I didn't see you come on there. How are you doing, mate?
Still waiting for that Hammers post on the LOB, you big wally!
Just saw the goal that Mansfield scored... a looping header from the back post hits the front post and rebounds off the keeper's shin !
Lincoln's goal was a great finish but a striker who dips it over the head of the onrushing keeper
Messi has scored is 87th and 88th goals in the Copa Del Ray... will he hit a TON!!
Dunno how to do it!
You can take full credit!
A lot of gushing over Leo Messi in the studio at half-time, but bloody hell the defending in that match tonight was woeful. They really put the red carpet out for him.
Of course you do. You posted a thread for the Manc Derby on Sunday!
I don't all the lovey duvey talk of Messi.. it annoys me
Don't know how to post video
Hasting play Harrogate tomorrow on FSC tomorrow
The winner will go to Middlesbrough
I don't LIKE all the ....
Second half underway in Wales
Just cut and paste the link into the comment box. You don't have to embed it if you don't want to. But if it's a YouTube video, you can click on the "share" button and cut and paste the embed code to make it easier.
The reason I'm stressing posting things is that I'm actively working on two people right now - JDLC and Mark Enderle - so I want the blog to seem as active as possible, not just a vanity project for me.
I'd love to see Boro go through here. Come on the Championship side!
Second half underway in the FA Cup as well... who will host the Reds??
I'll try
Come on Swansea!
I'll try
Come on Swansea!
What do you think about this article?
What would Steve think?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2246824/Arsenal-modern-football-tragedy--Neil-Ashton-comment.html
Can't seem to figure it out
You can only download from youtube
I found this on the Sun website
I want to put the video on but it won't let me
Still no goals in the second half in both matches
Celtic are leading Arbroath 1-0 in the Scottish Cup Fourth Round replay
Swansea, for the first time all match, are beginning to dominate
Swansea hit the crossbar from a Guzman free kick
Swansea want a penalty but nothing given
Ten minutes to go.... and Swansea score!!
An OG.. Hines with a brilliant header into the top corner!
AND.. a minute later... the host ... Mansfield take the lead as well!!
only 719 fans followed their team down from Northeast to watch their beloved
I'm back after helping some students who are nervous about next week's final exam. I see that the Swans have scored. Shame.
That's a pathetic effort from the Boro faithful - no wonder their side is losing.
I'm just reading your article on the Arse. Gooner is coming around to the arguments that I've made for the past couple of years about moving Wenger up into a director of football position and bringing in someone like Pep Guardiola to run the side. But I still think he'd be offended by the tone of that Mail article, especially the comparisons with United's success. We visited the Emirates in the spring and I found it quite dead in terms of atmosphere but Gooner thought it was a "temple."
I don't know if he would like it either
95th minute at the Liberty... a hard cross just missed by the Boro player McDonald
It is over
Swansea are in the semis
Swansea
Aston Villa
Bradford
and
LEEDS!
or maybe Chelsea!
COME ON YOU WHITES!
already played 1 of 3 added minutes in Mansfield
1 minute to go in the Cup and Mansfield will be able to waste some time with a corner
Cor - I'd love to see that Leeds v. Bradford semi!
Would be brilliant.. just don't go to penalties!
Mansfield have beaten Lincoln!
BRING ON LIVERPOOL
THE STAG FANS INVADE PITCH... next up the REDS!
Here's something else for your consideration. I've just thrown in a proposal for a conference that's going to be held at SUNY Institute of Technology out in Utica/Rome - not too far from you - from May 21-24 next year. Could be a nice chance to catch up and watch some footer if you and Kathy are up for it.
That's going to be a cracking Cup tie - Mansfield v. Pool!
Take care Bob
Talk to you on the weekend
TTFN
Oh - I hate penalties.
However, did I tell you about my recent penalty shoot-out heroics?
Cheerio, mate!
That is about an hour and half away
I know exactly where it is. Tom has played there
Love to see you
Jon's b-day is on May 25th
Will there be any fooite?
Let me hear about your heroics
Looks like the Champions League final is on May 25th! From Wemberley! Featuring United and Barca?!
Lovely
United v Celtic did you say
United v Arsenal did you say
United v Dortmund did you say
Still waiting for the penalties story
Okay, recently I had the chance to play for a faculty team in an indoor tournament. I think I mentioned it and you had suggested we call ourselves "Bayer Neverlosin."
Anyway, we knew that we were somewhat up against it as only three of us had ever played seriously and all of us are out of shape playing against kids of Tom's age.
So, our strategy was to have one of our good players up front to try and nick a goal (he ended up only scoring one goal in three matches!), another as a box to box busy midfielder and me in the back as goalkeeper/sweeper. Anyway, we were pants in the first match but ended up grabbing a 0-0 draw. They then went into penalties after every drawn match. So, I went in goal. The goals were rather small, so I thought I'd just stand there and make myself big and see if the plonkers would hit me. First up...right at me, I punched it away. Then our skipper asked me to take the first pen. So, I did what I always do. Put the ball down, walked back five paces with back to the goal, turned around and hammered it low in the left corner. 1-0! Saved the next one the same way. Our skipper side footed it in the right corner. Saved their third one. Our striker side footed it in the right corner again and we had won the only match we'd end up winning. Lost the second match 0-1 and the third one 1-2.
All of those matches would be great!
Well done mate! Wish it was on video!!
They should have Bob 'Becchio' Dahlgren up front!
Well, when we were chasing the goal in the last match, I told Alex (our skipper) to stick me up front for the last last few minutes. I was sure I could nick an equalizer. But he never did. Typically bloody typecasting!
