Well played Salford City

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

Different class, County very poor.

[glosterred]

They've deserved it so far, still 10 minutes to play, so could change, but doesn't look likely

COYR

[mushRTID]

Played really well but Christ, how bad have county been? Terrible.

[StocktonRover]

Looking at how the ball bobbles all over the pitch, I'm so pleased we are at home tomorrow

[IDM]

I don't know what was wrong with County but they did nothing, they were as insipid and as abject as us at our worst under Dickov.

If I was a Notts Co fan tonight I would be really angry.

Tonight was slow, a bit like a league match and nothing like a typical cup tie like the Harltepool/Blyth fixture last season.

And the second goal, where the player drags 3 defenders out, turns back inside and puts it into the corner after a neat 1-2 - you won't see many better worked goals in ANY division this weekend.

Salford deserved that.  They weren't lucky, nor particularly daring nor backs against the wall.  They were simply the better team by some distance tonight.

Therein lies a warning to us! We must take the game to Stalybridge tomorrow..

[scaley back rover]

My mates a county fan he not a happy lad tonight.
Thought Salford were good value for the win the second goal was pure class, surely a contender for goal of the round

[Monkcaster_Rover]

What about that for a second goal. Absolute belter. Danny Webber down there surprised me too!

[newyankee]

Verry good result for City. Just watched the game over here in the States and as Martin Tyler said, City look three divisions higher than County, not the other way round.

 Didn't Dickov look to bring in Danny Webber at some point, when he, Webber, was at Sheffield United?

[drfchound]

Well Dickov was a good judge of a player wasn't he Yankee?
How good was that individual skill leading to the second goal.
Messi would have been proud of that.

[newyankee]

That wasn't Webber Hound, it was Richie Allen who came on for Webber, but , yes it was brilliant.

[drfchound]

I know it was mate. I saw the game too.
I was linking two points together.

[neil grainger]

Danny Webber, Rovers legend!

[normal rules]

Salford did to county what county did to us, twice, in the cup.

[Rich_The_Conisbrough_Rover]

That 2nd goal was pure class, possible goal of the tournament never mind the round lads.

Highlights clips.  just watch that 2nd goal, again and again...

If Copps did that we'd be raving about it for months, and rightly so.  A 7th tier player takes out 3 4th tier defenders with one touch of class.

That's why we go to football..

if that 2nd goal was in the prem they would be talking about it for years

Lets hope that in't us tomorrow

The defending wouldn't be that bad in the prem, credit to the kid that scored it but the defending was f**king shocking like watching Andy Butler.

[BobG]

Is it Salford City that the Class of 92 have bought? I think it is?

BobG

Yes bob it is,
There's been a very good documentary on the bbc the last 2 weeks following the class of 92 and their purchase of salford

[BobG]

Thanks Dickos. I didn't manage to see that documentary.  Wish I had. I'd love to know why they bought the place, what their objective is. It's hard to imagine them ever making much money from it.

Cheers

I don't think there is an objective to it other than putting something back into a game they love with a local team. These boys don't need to make any money and I wouldn't imagine the running costs of a club at that level would trouble them. Probably pays for itself with the exposure and commercial opportunities that come with their fame.

[BobG]

Could be Nick. ut it'd be highly unusual to find a like minded group of philanthropists from so small a population. It must be a statistical impossibility for all of them, from a group hardly bigger, to be willing to throw money down the drain. Maybe they are willing. But it's such an odd thing for them to do. One, even two, I could understand. But that lot together?

[Andy Samuel]

They'll be Manchester United 'b' in the next 5 years.

Not so sure about that - the defenders initially stopped the Salford player from getting a shot away as he came into the box, and then stopped a crossing opportunity, and shepherded him towards the goal line and away from danger - and got in the way still of a cross or pass. 

It was the skillful turn that got the attacker clear. We all like to see our attackers showing some creative spark don't we?  It wasn't as if he waltzed past those defenders unchallenged..

[drfchound]

It was more about the skill creating the opportunity than bad defending allowing it to happen.

The lads have said that their objective is to get Salford into the Football League.

dont take anything away from the lad that scored it as he still did brilliant after all he is amature and works for a living
