Carfiff pen.

[Boyle the Royal]

Forest now 2-1 up, Earnie refuses to celebrate against his old club

[Skyline]

If you want goals, the Conference Prem looks like the place too be:

Tamworth 2-5 AFC Wimbledon
Wrexham 2-7 Gateshead

Were Wrexham playing a bunch of kids or something?

[buzzby]

Not playing bad at all. United leading 1-0 though.

[PlasticRoyale]

Is the crawley town manager wearing make-up

[prostak]

will man united be fined for fielding a weakened team

It's the FA Cup. So no.

[AthleticoSpizz]

Well Done Manchester United

[prostak]

So did Ashley miss because of Johnny Heitinga's casual shove? Or would he have bottled it anyway?

none of the above

its all about luck, skill and probability

[prostak]

There's an excellent section on this in Why England Lose. If you can't hit the target from that distance, you probably shouldn't be playing professionally. Skill, then, is a small part of it. Kuper and Szymanski argue that nerve is by far the biggest influence. Think of van der Sar in the Champions League 2008 shootout - from 9:30 here - he scares Anelka into breaking the planned pattern just by pointing. I think it's not inconceivable that Cole was riled into missing that.

[Rex]

Leyton Orient equalize

[AthleticoSpizz]

FT 1-1

WELL DONE ORIENT!

The very result that they wanted
