Independent Rs Messageboard

[ESSEXURs]

Well everyone it’s our favourite time of the year when we give someone the gift of a
place in the fourth round.
Which lucky team will it be this year?

[Steve Russell]

For purely selfish reasons, a ground that I haven't been to

Ricky Tomlinson (Jim Royle ) is not available for posting on this message board at the moment.....
so I will comment on his behalf

FA Cup my arse

[Conor Campbell]

Probably not too many grounds you haven't been to Steve.

Would be great to have a cup run. Been a while.

[ESSEXURs]

The sad thing is the decline in popularity of the competition with the big clubs appearing
to see it as an unnecessary distraction.

I can still remember the buzz when the Rs first round cup match was and fans made a big
effort to dress up in the late 50’s and early 60’s.

[Kerrins]

Yes those were the Days Essex sadly never to return

[Conor Campbell]

Maybe putting 3 past West Brom is a sign that a cup run is imminent
