And that's where the FA Cup and the Premier League differ. All 3pm kickoffs are available for international distribution in the Prem. Only 1 of how many matches in the FA Cup? Terrible - oh well, its done. Come on R's!
Tried to register at thefa.com about twenty minutes ago so I can send them some "feedback". Still waiting for my password... Nice, FA. Stop me from even complaining by having a website that doesn't even work. Why are we in your stupid cup again?
Tony Roberts has been sent off for violent conduct for the Daggers. They were leading today, 2-1, at Southend but are now down 2-3.
Even when QPR were good, top of the league, UEFA Cup qualification, etc... we could never be described as "gits". We were the team everyone liked that hated Liverpool, Arsenal, ManU. We're the Green Bay of football. As much as it pains me to say it. Mr Walthamstow "One Size" makes his debut for QPR and I can't watch it... it's a sad day regardless of the result.
Perhaps don't want too many int'l feeds buzzing around for pubs to pick up in England? So stupid in this day and age - especially with the glamour of the competition fading.
Back and forth stuff now. Corner for Chelsea into the final 30 seconds of regulation. R's win it. 3 minutes of injury time. Joe Cole should be booked -- he just kicked it away from Camp in injury time.
3 minutes of stoppage time. Joe Cole kicks the ball away to waste time and for some reason is not booked.
Good. The East London Conglomeration of Poor Football Clubs Now Trying to be Good are due a downswing.
Chelsea 1-0 QPR FULL TIME Not the result we hoped for, but nothing at all to feel bad about. We should improve nicely once we get some of these new guys bedded in.
Well, immediately we can look at the positives from today... - Played right with a strong Chelsea line-up and can look at this as a continuance of our good run of form. - Good experience for the new and younger players. Ephraim, Connolly, Lee, Balanta especially. What a way to take in the culture of the club as a newcomer. - Sounds like Fitz Hall had a nice debut - the defence has been strengthened and must now be seen as a strength. - Fans had a great day out and that enthusiasm will roll on in the league. And more - this is a good day for the club in spite of the loss. UUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRs!
Well if we can lose 1-0 at Chelsea there's hope for the next four months or so. Well done Rs! Look forward to seeing the apparent effort in the delayed transmission later this week, providing that didn't get the plug pulled as well.
According to the World/BBC London radio, Dagenham & Redbridge was down 2-3, so Tony Roberts came forward on a corner kick. He didn't get his head on the corner kick, but thereafter there was a dust up, he squared up with a Southend player (the keeper?) and headbutted him! After he was sent off, the Daggers gave up two more and lost 2-3.
Yep, sorry. They gave up two more after Roberts was sent off, five in total. Can't really be true, can it? If they can show it on Monday, they could have shown it today.
