QF Draw (18 Viewers)

[Torquay Sky Blue]

I remember this quarter final fixture in 1973 . Went with my old man. We filled South Bank. Great atmosphere .
Oh...we lost 2-0

Okay perhaps I'm exaggerating, I was only 13. That end was massive and we took shit loads.

And then the smelling salts bring you round?

Maybe slightly carried away, the bookies suggest there's a 20/1 chance they are the semi finalists though...not too outrageous...ok, where are those salts!

Remember it well. All the excitement and anticipation on way from cov and especially the walk to the ground…the poor performance…and the silence on the way back. I’m not sure my dad said a word on the journey home.

 

[MalcSB]

We lost 2 nil to Wolves away in 73 QF. Massive following that day. Time for revenge!

I was there as well. Bobby Parker was never the same after that game.

 

[SBbucks]

Will the fixture date/time be announced today?

Probably not, usually takes a couple of days to sort TV, police input, etc. Possible announcement over the weekend with tickets on sale midweek.
Might surprise us though!

I seem to remember it was about 17k City fans there for that match. However I’ve just watched YouTube clips of that game and there were plenty of Wolves fans in the Southbank celebrating John Richard’s goal. We had such a good team that year I was sure we were going to win The Cup.

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

I was there as well. Bobby Parker was never the same after that game.

He was being touted as the new Bobby Moore for his reading of the game but his lack of pace was really exposed in this match.

Baggies at home on the 16th so good chance this'll be one of the Sunday games

 

[NortonSkyBlue]

I was 13 too! A week later we lost 3-0 at Birmingham and took about 300. Where did we go?

Premiership teams usually get the precedent to be honest. They’ll move West Brom to the Friday

 

[ccfcricoh]

They were both due to play at home on 16th anyway, so not sure how much of a problem us going will be...

imagine we'll find out tomorrow, and tickets next week

 

[edgy]

Sky haven't selected their EFL games yet for that Friday yet. Let's hope they pick the Baggies and move it.

 

[CBS16]

We'll be bang up for it, could really do with Ben Sheaf back and no further injuries. Hopefully the rumoured change shape coming in the next few weeks without Sakamoto will have started to click, in all honesty 3 CBs makes mors sense against these. Be one of the most memorable away trips ever if we pull off a win! Is it now back to normal with replays for this round?

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Ours is the least interesting tie of the round for neutrals so I imagine we’ll be shoved on at 12 or 12:30 on the Sunday.

I bloody well hope not. I work all day on a Sunday…

 

[BrisbaneBronco]

Watched the game again today on youtube. Didnt threaten at all apart from Willie Carr hitting the post

 

[Ricketts]

So this will be our first match with VAR?

 

[Hutch11]

So this will be our first match with VAR?

Yes apart from the play off final

No replays.

 

[Torquay Sky Blue]

Don't remember much about the 73 game but I do remember Derek Dougan being hit in the face by the ball in pre match warm up and bizarrely having to go off for treatment. Also, a pissed up Cov fan getting arrested and about 7 coppers carrying him towards the tunnel. And very strangely the fans of both sides singing Power to all our Friends (Cliff Richard) when it was played before the game.
And the coolest bit Wolves fans sang along to The Liquidator as they still do

They picked them a week or so ago. Leicester v Southampton was listed for Friday 8pm. Perhaps they will select a different fixture now so could still be Baggies.

Let's hope Sky act quickly and beat the Coppers and Safety Groups to the decision.

Avoiding the big boys...local derby...whats not to like!

I'm sure we will find something to moan about.

 

[Bugsy]

So this will be our first match with VAR?

Yes apart from the play off final

Southampton away in the FA Cup was the 1st with VAR with us

OFFICIALS: Referee Watch Versus Southampton

Tony Harrington will be the man in the middle of the Sky Blues' FA Cup clash with Southampton this weekend.

[shmmeee]

So we’ve lost every VAR game?

 

[fernandopartridge]

So we’ve lost every VAR game?

Technically VAR stopped us losing the last one in extra time

 

[skybluelee]

So we’ve lost every VAR game?

No - Luton was a draw!

 

[pusbccfc]

Wolves fans are convinced it will be Sunday 12pm.

Fucking grim. Don't even think the first train goes into Birmingham until about 9am on Sundays.

 

[shmmeee]

No - Luton was a draw!

Oh, are we both in the Prem then?

 

[Speedies_Chips]

Nah....it'll be more than that. 15% min. requirement for the cup.

Their official capacity is 32k so we should deffo get over 4K but It just depends on their segregation policy etc.

I thought it was ‘up to’ 15% rather than a minimum?

 

[skybluelee]

Oh, are we both in the Prem then?

Just correcting you. Official records will show the match was a draw. So, no we haven't lost every game where VAR has been in place.

Felt like a loss when I was there. But I’ll take your pedantic point.

 

[edgy]

Correct it is "up to 15%" or no more than 9000.

We should get the whole of the lower Steve Bull Stand (2750) and a upper section of the Stan Cullis Stand (1500) = 4250

The last FA Cup QF at Molineux was a Saturday evening 7.55pm KO !!
