FA cup rd 1 - ForeverPompey - 16-10-2021
A scary prospect. Anyone away would be a likely defeat. Havant still in the cup...
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Hammie - 16-10-2021
Totally agree about away form. We look a very nice team to play against. Sort of like any of the softer West Ham or Tottenham teams back over the years.
RE: FA cup rd 1 - ForeverPompey - 16-10-2021
yes indeed.

2.2....The Hawks will replay at home to Torquay

I'd rather go & watch them than Pompey at present. Well done Hawks as they were lossing 2-1 after 85 mintues.
RE: FA cup rd 1 - firqdays - 17-10-2021
Would be nice on a Pompey away day/Sunday TV game for Hawks to be home to Sunderland .
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Wightblue - 17-10-2021
The Hawks v Pompey would be attractive to TV, certainly a chance of an upset, a local derby (not really but it would be sold that way), tight surroundings.
All the ingredients for an upset !
Home to the very lowliest minnows preferably played in a monsoon would be our best chance of progressing I feel, here’s hoping.
Sunderland away for Pompey ? No thanks.

Harrow Borough, put your money on them
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Northstander - 17-10-2021
The Hawks go to Charlton if they win their replay

A massive banana skin. Fail to win this one and my patience will be broken. Whoever the manager, whoever the XI, there is a minimum standard expected.
Hopefully the players will use it to build some confidence and give them a hiding.
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Cressers - 17-10-2021
Watching that draw I'm reminded why ITV should never be allowed to broadcast sport.

Let's hope they beat Torquay at home with a full capacity crowd.
Charlton away with their poor form could surprise a major upset!
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Wightblue - 17-10-2021
Almost a perfect draw against real minnows, don’t bugger around, start a full strength side and get an unassailable lead and then make changes if DC wants to save players.
Alternative, rotate, start a half strength side, something goes seriously wrong (a Pompey Red or losing Raggett), a shock on the cards.
Take your pick !
RE: FA cup rd 1 - ForeverPompey - 17-10-2021
Start full strength for me. I cannot believe even this team can fail to beat a team 7 places below Gosport (no offence intended to GB). Any slip up could signal the end for DC I imagine.
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Hammie - 17-10-2021
This team has beaten the teams at the bottom of our own league reasonable easily.
Since we've been back in the lower league it is always a worry when our players think it is an easy game though.
RE: FA cup rd 1 - mikey393 - 20-10-2021
Hawks winning 4-2 in replay tonight.
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Northstander - 20-10-2021
That's how it finished. Best of luck Hawks at the Valley
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Pedalo_menders - 20-10-2021
Fantastic for them! Wonder how many will fancy a trip to London vs the tortures of Fratton Park?
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Wightblue - 20-10-2021
Great effort, they deserve their day at The Valley
RE: FA cup rd 1 - mikey393 - 21-10-2021
I live in the London area so may try to get a ticket.
I still remember the F.A. Cup tie years ago at the Old Valley which held 60,000 then.
There were 30,000 there with 15,000 from Pompey.
We went 1-0 down then Norman Piper I think equalised in the 2nd half & it went bollistic!
Great Day out with a few beers at th eWooden Bridge, Guildford on the way up & back!
But, we somehow lost the replay a few days later at FP 3-1 I think the score was.
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Pedalo_menders - 21-10-2021
That was my local when I was at Surrey University, many moons ago. A pint of lager was cheaper than a pint of Pepsi. An absolute dump of a pub but cheap as chips
RE: FA cup rd 1 - mikey393 - 21-10-2021
Those were the days! I'm surprised it's still there tbh.
RE: FA cup rd 1 - Pangus - 21-10-2021
Harrow in the same league as Gosport Borough who are 10-12 points ahead of them. Real minnows then.

We lost the replay in front of 30 odd thousand 3-0.
I remember it well, I was at college in Plymouth at the time. I hitched home for the match then had to hitch back straight after the game. I got fecking soaked and got back just in time to have a wash and change and go in for an exam.
The joys of following Pompey eh?
