Match Thread Everton v Lincoln City, FA Cup, Preview, Report & MotM Poll

[TheBigIguana]

Same, not until a month ago even. But when the manager talks about players with nervousness...... makes me nervous. Could be worse, my old man and brother are going to the game. At least if it goes horribly wrong I can do beach, bbq and beer to help me forget.

Yeah my NFL team is in the playoffs this weekend so Everton would be secondary even if it was a Prem game but with this I'll watch it and immediately move on to the football. Hopefully we can keep it comfortable and make us all look silly for worrying.

Anyone in the USA know if the FA cup is being screened on tv this season? And what channel if it is?

Every game is available on the premium ESPN+ service that cost $5 a month. If you watch football the $5 is worth it on that alone. If you watch any other sports too it's a steal because almost anything you can think of is on there.

I'm down for the game today missus has no interest in footy so costing me a fortune sending her shopping while I go the match.
Don't let me down blues, let's make this comfy out there today and take care of business.

....they will be fired up and backed by a large and noisy set of fans. We should be too good but we need to be up for this or it could be a major upset.

There's no coverage on TV in Australia, not even highlights later on, so I'm going to bed with my radio plugged into my ears, like in the old days, and listen to
'around the grounds' updates from the BBC, 5Live or whoever it is. 2.00 am kick off here so I'll turn it on when I wake up during the night. I wake up
fairly often.

Just put £10 on Lincoln. I remember plenty of slip ups at this stage before, even at Goodison. I’d be glad not to get it back, but the blow would be fairly softened if we lost!

Is this televised anywhere?

Get her earplugs in hopefully the rate our goals will be going in will keep you awake.

Yes, check the broadcasters on flashscore mate, lots of channels from abroad

Glad Jimmy mac looks to be starting. Hopefully shut up the usual "he's finished/shi7/wage thief" types

 

[Rugby Toffee]

Uneasy about this , should I be?
An early goal for us would help ease the nerves,

Damn you Everton

Got all the ingredients for an upset. Tired, nervous players, sub-par/unfit players likely to start to replace tired stars, a restless crowd who won't get behind the team and is just waiting to pounce on the first mistake, a massive away following who'll create real atmosphere, a plucky underdog who have nothing to lose and will fight like dogs.

You can just see it.
We SHOULD have more than enough quality and professionalism. But I feel nervous

 

[Jimmy Grimble]

Yeah Lincoln, who are a very good side, they can have a rest 8 days later against Bournemouth

Not 1 Lincoln player gets into that side I named. Give the fringe players a chance to stake a claim and give the manager a headache next game.

What odds did you get?

What odds did you get?

....they are best priced 25-1 to win with Corals.

I’d be surprised if the Everton team includes Gomes today. I suspect there’ll be lots of changes.
