Shouldnt have VAR unless every match can have it.

Shouldnt have VAR at all come to that.

Always said one cup game shouldnt have it, if other cup games cant. And ive never been a fan of VAR ever, even the rare time we get decisions going our way, as we no doubt get more go way against us, than for us - at a guess

Its essentially having different rules in the same competition.

Also, never known it before to start on a thursday, usually friday night is the earliest, I remember Leeds away on TV in 1985 on a Friday. Becoming comical now, just a tool for media to spread its diversity nonsense the fa cup is now.

Are you saying Thursday night is too WOKE?

By the time it finishes I won't be AWAKE

And where gave we heard that before?

Nailed on away to a premier league side.

RS home to Rushden & Diamonds U12's

I wish we could find stats on the premier clubs that have drawn other premier clubs in the early FA Cup rounds over the last 25 years. I reckon we'd be first.

It's always dodgy. Same in Scotland when they very often make sure Rangers and Celtic play each other in finals.

just another layer of opacity

Away in London on a Thursday night. That is terrible!

They know we have the best away fans in the league and are making it more difficult for them

I've never understood this argument. The two teams competing will have var applies equally to them in both fixture, one fixture with, one without. They will have different weather at the different venues, but the two teams playing will have the same weather.

I've just looked on Wikipedia and going back to around 2017 the RS have had more 3rd round all PL draws than us in that time with 5. Two of them against us including the one where they literally played the kids. Wolves are on 4 despite being a PL club for fewer seasons.

We're equal with ManU and Palace on 3. I'd go back further but it's excruciatingly tedious, even for a bore like me. It's Xmas and I'm getting on the cans instead.
