Righty-ho, we're back in business

At Ormy's suggestion, this week's set of matches comes from the first round of the great and wonderful FA Cup.

Burscough v Gillingham
Grimsby v Bristol Rovers
Lincoln City v MK Dons
Kettering v Stevenage
York v Grays Athletic

All selections to be in round about lunchtime on Saturday, 5th October.

Great to see the game back, GD, and I'm glad you liked my Cup idea. I love the FA Cup - I just hope my Bradford boys' involvement lasts for more than one match for a change!

I just wish we'd done this last week. I had 4-1 to Middlesbrough all lines up...



that's a tricky set of matches, I predict a low scoring week...

I don't


Burscough 0 - 2 Gillingham (Harris)
Grimsby 1 - 3 Bristol Rovers (Walker)
Lincoln City 3 - 0 MK Dons (Marvin Robinson)
Kettering 2 - 1 Stevenage (Diuk)
York 2 - 1 Grays Athletic (Kightly)

It is rather that we have the chance to pick a scorer called Marvin this week, isn't it?

'Here I am, brain the size of a planet, and they want me to play against Franchise FC. Call that job satisfaction? 'Cause I don't.'

I didn't think anyone would notice so quickly

But yes, it did have to be done

I really wanted to put AFC Wimbledon in this week's group. But sadly they went out a couple of rounds ago

Burscough v Gillingham 1-2
Grimsby v Bristol Rovers 2-1
Lincoln City v MK Dons 1-3
Kettering v Stevenage 0-2
York v Grays Athletic 2-1


Andy

I have no idea what I'm doing here....


Burscough 1-1 Gillingham (Gedman)
Grimsby 0-1 Bristol Rovers (Agogo)
Lincoln City 1-0 MK Dons (Brown)
Kettering 0-3 Stevenage (Stamp)
York 1-2 Grays Athletic (Oli)

Join the club

Yeah, I don't know what you're doing here either.

I was hoping Leamington might make the competition - maybe Nuneaton in the next round ?

Burscough 0 v 2 Gillingham - Byfield
Grimsby 2 v 1 Bristol Rovers - Kalala
Lincoln City 1 v 0 MK Dons - Birch
Kettering 0 v 2 Stevenage - Boyd
York 2 v 0 Grays Athletic - Donaldson

What the hell are Kettering doing in a Northern League? Surely Kettering is south of Watford Gap. I would have though Kettering v. Stevenage was almost a local derby.

Hey ho.

Burscough 1-0 Gillingham (Drew Hyland) - Ripe for a giant* kill surely.

Grimsby 2-0 Bristol Rovers (Michael reddy)

Lincoln City 2-0 MK Dons (Gary Birch)

Kettering 2-3 Stevenage (Anthony Elding)

York City 0-2 Grays Athletic (Jamie Slabber)


And if I manage many points this week I'll be well chuffed

Using the word giant in its most loose sense naturally.

Burscough 0-3 Gillingham (Harris)
Grimsby 0-1 Bristol Rovers (Reddy)
Lincoln City 1-2 MK Dons (McLeod)
Kettering 0-2 Stevenage (Nurse)
York 1-3 Grays Athletic (Slabber)

thanks for stating you didn't know what you were doing GD; other wise i would have been scared to see how much our predictions differ!

Burscough 1-2 Gillingham (Andrew Crofts)
Grimsby 2-1 Bristol Rovers (Jean-Paul Kadambimba Kalala)
Lincoln City 3-1 MK Dons (Nat Brown)
Kettering 2-0 Stevenage (Christian Moore)
