Tamworth

[TR 675]

Fuck the bastards. Yes, I'm bitter. They've poached a Yeltz striker, Jordan Ponticelli, who was making the difference between us sniffing around the play-offs to actually challenging to win the league since he joined us around October. 

And they've barely played him! 

It would be such a Spursy result to lose to a non-league side.

Didn't they also sign Miracle Okafur who last I heard was  loaned out to Brackley?

[tHEgLASSdOORS]

Yeah they nicked Miracle although his form had completely tailed off back half of last season. Bizarre how badly it dipped

The tactics of long ball, after long ball, after long ball, and being completely isolated, didn't help. 

It was like Rondon under Pulis. Paul Smith ran Okafor into the ground and he was spent by Christmas.

Tamworth almost giving spurs a bloody nose fred, hijacked by Yeltzers.....

This is where the scrapping of replays is felt hardest.

Whilst I do agree it’s worth pointing out that Tamworth won their 2nd round game on penalties, so there’s no guarantee they would have beaten L1 Burton in a replay.

Would have had villa in the next round!

Cracking game. Tamworth gave as good as they got for 110 minutes. If ever you draw a team from 4 divisions higher, you'd want it to be Spurs. Some outstanding Lambs performances, centre half, centre forward, the guy the commentators said works at Zara (!), among others. Excellently managed by the Tamworth manager who seemed to make subs at just the right time. Tamworth very close to clinching it in injury time and thus there would have been no extra time. Proper cup tie. And...as ever for me. A little bit of unconscious (or not) bias. Immediately before Spurs scored the Tamworth striker was barged off the ball when about to shoot, no foul. The ball goes up the other end, the reverse happens, it's a foul. Spurs score the scrappiest OG ever, Tamworth attack straight away and the striker is pushed over in the box. No better than the one penalised 2 minutes previous. Plus the spurs cb (guy with a ponytail), on a booking and commits a further 2 fouls both nailed on yellow cards. That aside though, a great game.

Great summary of the game, and the key incidents that mattered. I enjoyed watching football again for around 100 minutes.
