Well done to Maidstone United of the National league South division who today beat Ipswich Town who are currently 2nd in the Championship, 4 divisions above them.
This really does show the magic of this competition, Maidstone defended for their lives for most of game soaking up 38 shots and conceded 1, they had a total of 2 shots on target and scored them both 😁 What a day for them 👏👏👏

Yep, I had a look, a huge result for them, well done to everyone at the club!
Football is a bit of a touchy thing here. Lots of migrants from the northern hemisphere are wild about it. And the fans get a bit wild. It gets out of control when one cultural group comes up against another.
Most Aussies hate it.
You are either a rugby league fan, or an Aussie rules fan.

Yes a great result for Maidstone. By interesting to see who they get in the next round. I see their goalkeeper is already hoping to get a call from a championship side. That is the trouble for these low ranked clubs. Most of their players are semi professional and have day jobs. Whilst good for some of the players that get snapped up by bigger clubs it doesn’t really help the minnows in the long run when they lose their best players. A good pay day for the club though. A club that went under a few seasons ago.
It was the same for Brighton for a few years. They brought in great young talent that were then taken by the top clubs. Fortunately at present they are in among the top club although I have heard that Liverpool are looking at their manager when Klopp goes at the end of the season. They’re being told hands off at the moment.
Back just enjoying club racing for the time being.

Yes George, a massive day for Newport County of league 2 today who welcome Manchester United, what a day for those players and supporters 👍😁

It's a shame that stupid supporters have stained the weekend at the match between West Brom and Wolves this morning 😡🤬🤬

Yes it will be a massive blow for Brighton if they lose their manager, they have had a fantastic couple of seasons.
I see the Barcelona boss has announced he will be leaving them at the end of the season too !! Maybe he'll be heading for the premier league 🤔🤔

Yes that was disgusting, one of the nice things about this cup is that for many supporters it's a family day out so there are often more children there. These so called supporters should get life time bans once they are identified 😡🤬🤬

Well done to Newport county who put up a brave fight bit were ultimately out classed, a brilliant experience for their supporters nevertheless.
