FA CUP 3rd ROUND DRAW

[Impman]

According to their forum Keane, who aside from a ridiculous freak incident has not conceded at Stamford Bridge or Anfield, is going to have nightmares about Lincoln. Have to say these are a weirdly confident lot.

Keane played against the Imps for Burnley and the then England international was the 4th best Central defender on the pitch that day.

Hate these kind of draws means they will play out of their skins.

When was that? Years ago?

He’s been great this season so he’s in form.

So that was at least 2 seasons ago... and two weeks ago Hazard couldn't figure it out

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Thought they stopped that venue switching stuff.

May well have done, i'm not up to date on that at all, perhaps the best indication that it has been stopped is that there has been no mention of such a move anywhere i've read.

I would think you are right.

I went to Lincoln away a long time ago when we beat them in the league Cup (4-2 I think it was after extra time)

The main thing I remember is them singing la la Lincolnshire la la Lincolnshire over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again

 

[Connor]

Keane played against the Imps for Burnley and the then England international was the 4th best Central defender on the pitch that day.

He's still an England international mert and playing with significantly better players these days.

Respect the big boys and we might allow you to leave with some pride.

I don't really care about Burnley. I don't really take League 2 fans giving it the big one seriously either.

Lincoln city these last few seasons are a decent outfit in their own right, The Cowleys have instilled a never say die attitude amongst the players and a belief in them that allows them to equal more than the sum of their parts. They can and do mix it up a bit if needed. It'll be a good game and I certainly wouldn't take anything for granted.

Didn't Cottee score 4 or 5 against Lincoln?

 

[Impman]

You can count on our lot giving you lot the respect you feel you deserve. I was merely explaining the Michael Keane connection to the Imps for those of you who didn't know.

Didn't Cottee score 4 or 5 against Lincoln?

Lincoln 3. Everton 4 Cottee ,Rideout 3
Everton 4 Lincoln 2 Cottee 2 Rideout Snodin
The 1st leg crowd at Lincoln was bigger than the 2nd leg at Goodison

Two complete clowns making that draw, could have done without them thinking pulling out balls from the cylinder is absolutely hilarious


Two standouts for me

Us vs Lincoln

Southport/Tranmere vs Spurs

Indeed.

The F.A. Cup draw was always very tense and exciting when it was two arl boys sat pulling the balls from a black bag and a man, speaking in hushed tones, informing us which number related to which team.

All that nonsense tonight is boring.

I go to watch Lincoln when we don’t have a game. Great club with a good set of fans, and Clive Nates the chairman is a lifelong Evertonian and a really good guy. He started following Lincoln similar to me as we had a link up with them in 2001. Danny Cowley has done an unreal job getting them promoted from the national league, to the play off semis last season to now 2nd in league two. Also winning the checkatrade trophy last season and getting to the Fa cup quarters finals against Arsenal 2 seasons ago. The imps should bring 6,000 I’d imagine aswell

 

[NewRadical]

A home tie against lower league opposition - that'll do me.

Hope that type of draw is repeated throughout the competition for us.
