Morning MUR, I will get the W v W match as well. Not sure of the third one yet
Morning, boys - hope you had a good night's sleep because this one is going to be a barnburner. Come on, you Leeds boys!
Good morning, UWS. You made some great selections yesterday
Even Bielsa made some changes , it looks a decent lineup. Looks like former Leeds striker , Matt Smith is on the QPR bench
We're away at Loftus Park - come on!
Matches underway. Got QPR vs L:eeds and just down the road, Woking vs Watford, which looks a village ground
Oh - Tyler Roberts with a rocket that nearly gave us the lead within a minute!
OH! Leeds nearly took the lead secondsa after kickoff. Roberts with a shot canonniung off the Sunday roast
Such a shame that didn't go in
I know it's the Cup and nothing to do with the league but you guys have to stop the rot
That shot from Tyler Roberts crashed off the post 25 seconds after kickoff . The only Qpr touch was a header to clear a long ball then Tyler Roberts wit that fantastic effort
Love Woking's ground
With the exception of Will Huffer, I don't know any of the subs listed on the bench. Should be an interesting second half.
Bob will be interested to note that a QPR loss would be their 50th in the Third Round. A perfect time for number 50!
Doncaster take the lead at Deepdale
Donny Trump takes the lead at Evil Ridsdale
If the Cup is a venue for our Academy kids and non-starters to shine for a bit, I'd love to have a decent run in the Cup.
Great stat there, MUR. I also liked to hear that they hadn't won in the 3rd Round since 2013. A really poor record which I hope they won't rectify today.
Shades of TH 14 as a Hornets player gets a long diagonal pass, cuts in shoots inches wide for the Hornets
I've tuned in Fulham Oldham
Wonder if Scholes in the stands...he like Oldham
Oteh produces a decent turnaround by P-F.
Decent save there by Pea/Far and again from the corner
BPF turned around a shot from Oteh on QPR's first attack of the match. Off the corner, BPF turns over a header from Luke Freeman
Ali heads away the corner then Lewis Baker fouls Josh Scowen just outside the corner of the box
Bob and Kate have plenty of room at their place....lots of empty seats..... FANS fault
We're a bit under the cosh right now - not liking it.
Frre kick headed out for a QPR corner
COME ON LEEDS! MOT!
Pressure relieved as a QPR push is called off their corner
Sterling gives Citeh the lead vs Rotherham
Boy how I miss the big feel of Cup games...bloody modern day football
Another QPR chance
P-F comes up big again!
City score their first of many at home to Rochdale
Crackling tempo to this match, as befitting the Cup.
Watford take the lead at Woking
GOAL !!! THE HORNETS TAKE THE LEAD VS WOKING. IT CAME OFF A SHORT CORNER AND WILL HUGHES SHOT FIRST TIME IN THE CORNER
Jack Clarke wins another corner - love this kid!
Sterling scored from KDB... two big guns playing
Poor cup form at our place. I'm the only one that's even awake
And another conceded by Bidwell.
Sorry to hear that, MUR.
Thought you would love that stat. This is good cup match.
Thanks, mate. They don't know the tradition of the cup, LOL!
Another stat. Woking is the lowest ranked team left in the cup. Second in the National League South, the 6th tier of English footie. In a playoff spot, five points behind table topping Fawlty Towers
Nice build up from our boys here.
Shackleton does well to shield Oteh there.
Great close range b lock by the Woking keeper from Success . Janmaat won a tackle then put in a cross
Halme with a clumsy challenge there on Eze. Dangerous free kick now.
Obstruction by Halme on Eze just outside the Leeds box and booked for that
WAY HAY! bARNET TAKE THE LEAD AT bRAMALL lANE
Bugger! Penalty to QPR!
Bugger... Leeds concede a penalty
He got tripped. I think it was a good call
BUGGER! QPR AWARDED A SPOT KICK. YOUNG DAVIS CALLED FOR A TRIP ON BIDWELL JUST INSIDE THE BOX
One nil Rangers
Sorry mate
Oteh steps up and slams it down the middle.
GOAL! QPR TAKE THE LEAD FROM THE SPOT AS BPF SENT THE WRONG WAY. A POOR PENALTY DOWN THE CENTER.
Come on, lads - let's get it back!
Now Ali wins a free kick - let's make the most of it!
Sorry, Bob.
COME ON LEEDS! TIME FOR A COMEBACK! MOT!
YES!!! ONE ONE!!
Lukaku type goal
YES! Halme rams home the rebound from Lewis Baker's free kick!
1-1!
WAY HAY! HALME MAKES AMMENDS FOR CONCEDING THE PENALTY BY TYING IT UP. INGRAM, IN THE QPR GOAL FUMBLED A FREE KICK FROM LEWIS BAKER AND HLAME PUT AWAY THE REBOUND
Congrats, Bob.
COME ON LEEDS! SCORE MORE!
Great response from our lot - Harrison was nearly in there for a second.
Got a third match on . It's the Evil Blades vs BArnet and the giant killing of the round as the non league team leave at Bramall Lane. Bob will be amused.
Oh - now Tyler Roberts comes close from Ali's cross.
Are you trying to match UWS for streaming prowess, MUR?
OH!A close range effort from Tyler Roberts was blocked on the line going inches wide for a corner
Oteh claims another penalty - nothing doing this time, fortunately.
I am reading an article about the Jimmy Murphy Award winners at Old Trafford for the best youth player
Opening winner was Lee Martin, then Giggs twice and then Scholes... more recently Welbeck and Rashford
Well, in 2009-10 the winner was Will Keane....the Andy Carroll look alike we saw yesterday playing for Ipswich on loan from Hull
I'm trying , but I have to go back and forth because I have the matches on separate tabs
That shows a decline in our youth team
The last two winners are still with the club
Angel Gomes and Chong HB#2
Great closing down by Tyler Roberts as the clearance from Matt Ingram goes off him for a QPR goal kick
Lots and lots of chances at both ends at Loftus Road...I like it
Long range Evil Blades half inches over from tying it up
Barnet in all sky blue at Bramall Lane. Usually wear Watford colors. Don't see how that clashes with the Evil Blades.
Lots of empty seats at Bramall Lane
Of course there are.
Hornets player appeared to dive to win a free kick. OH THE HORNETS FREE KICK CRASHES OFF THE BAR
Nice free kick from the rarely played Clever Boy
MOT!
Harrison earns a free kick - let's use it!
Fulham get the ball in the box... Kebano with an atrocious dive!!!
Gets booked for it! Why didn't he just shoot the damn ball
Commentator says it was Shameful by the Cottager
Bit of sloppy defending again from us.
Coming to the end of this half. I'd love to grab another goal before the interval.
Oh - and that was nearly it. Ali with a sweet volley that was deflected just wide.
Volley from Ali deflected wide for a Leeds corner
Nice block by Davis as Samuel was threatening.
And now Eze blasts over from the short corner.
QPR with a shot blocked for a corner then EZE shoots high and wide off the corner.
Oh - nice move there but the header from Alioski lacked power.
Phil Foden puts Citeh two up vs Rotherham
A pair of stoppage time minutes at Bramall Lane
Into a single minute of stoppage time now.
A minute of stoppage time at Loftus Road
Good to see Phil Foden gets some playing time for Citeh.
Same at Woking, who have a rare set piece
Phew! Oteh blasts over and that's half-time. 1-1.
Back to back corners for Rochdale....added time at Bob and Kate's.... both come to nothing
It's 1-1 at the end of an entertaining half at Loftus Road while the Hornets are one up at the half at Woking
Kate blows the whistle... scoreless
Bob will b delighted that Barnet is one up at the half at Bramall Lane
City three up at half
OG for Rochdale
Barnet had several chances prior to the goal. One goal correctly disallowed for offside . Won a penalty on a counter off an Evil Blades corner and scored.
Second half underway from Woking
Underway again at Loftus Road
Bielsa as makes a substitution as Tom Pearce on for Halme , the goal scorer. Under from Loftus Road and Bramall Lane
Come on, the Leeds boys!
Shackleton blocks a shot from Luke Freeman for a QPR corner
Kate has started the second half ... still nothing from Woking
Aapo Halme, our goalscorer, had a torrid time with QPR's pacy strike force in the first half and has been replaced by Tom Pearce.
my link still isn't back for Woking
Nice pun from the commentator about a trip to Wembley being on Bielsa's "bucket list."
Who is up next in the league Bob?
Finally got pictures back...not many are back on the pitch... why the delay?
We've got Derby County at home on my birthday on Friday. Hoping for a nice present from the boys.
Barnet counter and a last ditch clearance earns them a corner
It is not the match delay...it is the link... reboot time
Ali is down now after a nasty challenge. Free kick to be swung in by Lewis Baker.
Evil Blades back header off the corner turned around for another Barnet corner
Just pressed live and it went ahead 8 minutes
One Nil Fulham vs Oldham
MOT!
Red Hot Hull take the lead at the Den
Definitely hoping for a Leeds win on your birthday vs the Rams. MOT!
Fulham's goal was from their first effort on goal
Bloody Modern Day Football
Two corners in quick succession now.
Great Bday present that would be.... will be a tough one
Five matches at 1-0, one at 1-1 , and one 3-0 score.
City four nil up
Oh - Jack Clarke got to a great area but his cross was overcooked.
Jesus puts Citeh four up vs Rotherham
Don't really need a replay at Elland Road cluttering up the schedule. Come on, boys!
I'll still be at work for the Derby match... I don't have class at the end of the day... might slip out early
Odoi with the goal for Bob and Kate's team
Sounds good, mate!

It's Leeds time
Oh - Roberts was nearly in there but well challenged in the end.
Leeds almost thru there... nice passing
Reminded me of the Martial goal against Cardiff
Evil Blades miss a great chance . Nice one touch passing then Freeman drags a shot wide with just the keeper to beat
On the bench for Woking... part time coach... Martin Tyler
Thanks, mate!
Fulham should have doubled their lead...the diver from the first half hit it wide
Great save by Pea/Far
Oh - great save by P-F from the blast. Clipped the post as well.
OH!!! A long range effort from Jordan Cousins headed for the Upper 90 superbly turned around by BPF
Oh - Tyler Roberts was in there and seemed to be upended by the keeper. Ref wasn't seeing it.
Evil Blades keeper nearly gifts Barnet a second goal. Fumbles a shot under his body just wide of the goal. Then a Barnet player booked for a foul on an Evil Blades counter off the corner
Penalty ref!!! Ref says no!
I thought the striker thought he was offside and didn't run at first
I guess he got the ball
Have to take Shadow on walkies and more errands to do so I won't be around for the last tie of the day
Oh - Ali pulls a great save out of their keeper with a blast from distance.
QPR header just over then Matt Ingram tips over a cross/ shot from Ali
Interesting info regarding Martin Tyler
