Thread: F A Cup Wrexham v Newport

    F A Cup Wrexham v Newport

    Welsh derby in second round.
    Amazing how much apathy there is to this competition these days. I always look forward to the third round draw but as we always field a reserve team these days it's getting hard to raise the excitement level.
    Good luck to the Welsh sides in their round 2 encounter.

    Remember when we played Wrexham on Match of the Day years ago? They equalised 2-2 right at the end (big bearded centre forward) and then we scored (Buchanan?) in injury time to win 3-2. Everybody who had been so down seconds before left the ground very happy!

    That was when the FA Cup mattered a great deal to everybody, not just the lower league teams.

    Dramatic game tonight saw non league side Hampton & Richmond concede twice late on to lose to Oldham 2-1. Seems to be be much more exciting football in the early stages where winning means something.

    To be fair Oldham battered them and although they left it late the victory was well deserved

    Terrific game. Wrexham were very decent in those days. We were lucky to win.
    Yes it was Buchanan who scrambled the late equaliser.

    It was great to watch from start to finish. Enjoyed that.
    However JR is right, Oldham should’ve had about 6 before half time and deserved the win but it was good to see H+R “go for it”.
    That Baxter looks a good player for Oldham, shame about his injury.
