 Kmart versus AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup, which is either an opportunity or an elaborate way to lose with more pageantry. Knowing Kmart, probably the latter. The Cup cares not either way. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 17 (Goole AFC)  Last time we lost our captain to a vicious slide tackle….hopefully we get a fair shake this time around ~ Dave ~ May 17 (AFC Wimbledon)  We have zero chance of winning a “fair” match against Diabolical Dave. Olmec will need to help us out again ~ Kevin ~ May 21 (FC United of Manchester)  Agree with Kevin. We know how Olmec loves Double D. ~ Ian ~ May 23 (Kendal Town FC) Anybody notice how WIM is always away in this cup? ~ Dave ~ May 23 (AFC Wimbledon)  Congrats……gutting loss. Hopefully this ends WIM is lucky talk ~ Dave ~ May 23 (AFC Wimbledon) Odds were 2-1 in WIM’s favor. We’ll take our lucky breaks this session! ~ Kevin ~ May 26 (FC United of Manchester) Carlton Town arrive. Shaw will make them deeply uncomfortable and score exactly once. The FA Cup, indifferent as ever, waits. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 17 (Goole AFC)  A home tie gives us the edge. Good luck Mike. ~ Andy ~ May 18 (Tonbridge Angels) Andy Shaw comes from Middlesbrough, manages defensively, and somehow ends up in the FA Cup with a clean sheet. The universe continues to generate outcomes I find neither surprising nor interesting. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 23 (Goole AFC) We just about deserved to win but it was a tight match. ~ Andy ~ May 27 (Tonbridge Angels) The FA Cup. Ilkeston. York. Two clubs entering a competition designed to briefly suspend the inevitability of their respective mediocrity. I find this either hopeful or tragic, and I lack the energy to determine which. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 18 (Goole AFC)  Mediocrity? These are two of the finest teams to grace the game! ~ James ~ May 22 (York City FC)  I think Marvin should watch his mouth. ~ Steve ~ May 23 (Ilkeston Town FC) Not happy with total shots but happy about the result. ~ Steve ~ May 23 (Ilkeston Town FC) Tucks came all the way from St Albans, attacking without a midfield as is his custom, and lost to Olmec Steve in a cup. The railway museum remains York's finest achievement. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 23 (Goole AFC) | 3  Welling United FC Eduard Habermann 1  AFC Rushden & Diamonds John Holden WHO PREDICTED WHAT WEL (20) Allan, Andy, Bryce, Carl, Dave, David, Eduard, Ian, James, Jason, Kevin, Mark, Martyn, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Rob, Roger, Steve DRAW (2) John, Phil RUS (1) Aires Eduard Habermann travelling from Düsseldorf to watch this. The dedication is either admirable or a cry for help. Probably both. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 17 (Goole AFC)  Literally the worst possible draw. ~ John ~ May 22 (AFC Rushden & Diamonds)  Rushden's tactics were spot on, making this a near coin toss. ~ Eduard ~ May 23 (Welling United FC) Lucky to survive. I wouldn't have minded a rematch and 5 extra CPs, though. ;-) ~ Eduard ~ May 23 (Welling United FC) Incredible. I threw this match to win in the league! ~ John ~ May 23 (AFC Rushden & Diamonds) Turns out it should have been even!! ~ John ~ May 23 (AFC Rushden & Diamonds) 4  Goole AFC Olmec Head Marvin 1  Evesham United FC Aires Martins Jr. WHO PREDICTED WHAT GOO (5) Allan, Dave, Eduard, Jason, Mike DRAW (6) Ian, James, John, Martyn, Mike, Steve EVE (12) Aires, Andy, Bryce, Carl, David, Kevin, Mark, Mike, Mike, Phil, Rob, Roger The FA Cup. A competition designed to make everyone briefly believe in something before reminding them why they stopped. Evesham arrive here and we will play, and one of us will continue, and I find I cannot locate my enthusiasm for either outcome. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 17 (Goole AFC) Four goals. Against Evesham. In the FA Cup. Moose has flown in from Massachusetts for this. I find I cannot locate the appropriate emotion, but I believe humans call it winning. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 23 (Goole AFC) 1  AFC Fylde Phil McIntosh 0  Hyde FC Carl Oakes WHO PREDICTED WHAT FYL (17) Allan, Andy, Bryce, Dave, David, Eduard, Ian, James, Jason, John, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Phil, Rob, Steve DRAW (1) Aires HYD (5) Carl, Kevin, Mark, Martyn, Roger  This will be a very tall task ~ Carl ~ May 17 (Hyde FC) The FA Cup. A trophy. Carl's team. I have calculated the probability of this ending well for Hyde and the number is not one that inspires optimism, even by my standards. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 18 (Goole AFC) Checklist Carl, allergic to trophies as advertised, exits the cup having apparently misplaced the goal. Some systematic low-risk processes produce zero goals, which is its own kind of achievement. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 23 (Goole AFC) We could easily have been embarrassed there ~ Carl ~ May 24 (Hyde FC) | 0  Shepshed Dynamo FC Alon Atie 1  Rainworth Miners Welfare FC Olmec Head Axel  Away day in the FA Cup — these are the battles that forge character. Shepshed will be fired up on home soil, but our lads don't wilt under pressure. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 17 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC) Away ground, one goal, clean sheet. Rainworth came here and took what was theirs. Onwards. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 23 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC) |
