Happy to be drawn at home. Will be a tough game though. Bowers & Pitsea are doing very well in the Essex Senior.

[Catdog Rovers]

You've got to beat Greenhouse yet.

 

 

Good draw for Berko.

Alright draw for Hertford.

Very tough draw for Dunstable, and Broxbourne if they get there.

As for Edgware, it's hard to say what they're capable of. But if they can beat Kirkley and Pakefield then why not.

[nick.ince]

Yes...you have a good point there.

[RendonBodgers]

I personally would say thats a tougher draw for Basildon United than it is Afc Dunstable, if theres a banker on my betting slip its them. Teams at the Vase levels just don't possess Players like Bernard Christie, Danny Ryan, Jermaine Hall, Moses Olaleye, Kingy and the Carney brothers.

 

And two words that will explain why Berko will pretty much have a bye , Josh Chamberlain.

 

Id be very suprises if Broxbourne dont beat Greenhouse, I watched them against Cockfosters and werent much in it and with Boro' being by far a better side then we'll expect a W there.

FC Romania are a good footballing side. Can be absolutely brilliant going forward but concede a few at the back if they are got at

Basildon have also been having a great season. Better than Dunstable's even. I'm not saying they won't win. But it's certainly the toughest draw of the SSML clubs. Especially given their tailing off in form recently.

 

Berko should get through easily enough with or without Chamberlain. But should doesn't always mean much in football.

 

And yes Broxbourne should beat Greenhouse. But that's a 2nd round game postponed from the weekend. Another should. But Pitsea will give them a much sterner test if they make it.

Sound remarkably similar to Hertford. Should be an entertaining tie.

RB, who is the Kingy you refer too ?

Sounds like could be 6-6.

[BigDogCol]

Cracking draw for Hertford Town and a great chance to get into the last 32.

If the reviews are correct, it should be an absolute goalfest and great for any neutrals or groundhoppers.

 

However, having had a look at the FC Romania website and perusing their squad listing, I am absolutely dreading doing the PA announcements already!

[Jonno]

We played them in the vase a couple of years ago. Dirtiest team I've ever had the misfortune to watch play football at this level and how we managed to come off the pitch with just the one broken leg, I'll never know.

 

I'd have St Johns ambulance on standby. You're gonna need it.

Cant be any worse than London Tigers names.

That was horrific...not sure Ryan Redford properly recovered from that injury.

 

I think that they are a very different team now. Do you remember their 7ft keeper? Looked like Nikolai Valuev!

[Rebadiah Hongfield]

Are FC Romania a London Tigers type team? A lot of players signed, can be great on their day, quick/fit/powerleague-type players, etc?

 

I don't like braving the cold, but this is certainly one I might put the infamous "old orange bomber" on for.

 

BDCOL, get on the website and get practicing now. As long as you come away with a 10/10 for effort performance, no one will mind.

You don't half talk some guff sometimes. Bee-Jay Christie?? He is the epitome of a vase-level player. Has had numerous chances to step up a level and has NEVER been able to. Like a lot of the AFC players, he was cast aside as the good Dunstable pushed onto bigger and better things. Plus, his attitude stinks worse than a st margaretsbury burger. And that's putting it politely. It's a big game, so he'll prob go missing. And god help 'em if it goes to pens, because you know what? He won't take one. 

 

Internet sensation Josh Chamberlain, strange, I've never heard him mentioned before this weekend... Any Berko people shed any light on whether he's actually any good or not? For me, it's their stalwarts like Dale "searsy" Sears, Carl "taskery" Tasker and Louis "misses massive vase games" Rodrigo (when he's there) that will see them through.

Thanks Jonno. We can give as good as we get but I'll ensure the magic sponge bucket is full of icy and plenty of Mr.Men plasters are available.

I thought that, then checked the website!

Had a thought RB, why should I not just do the Robbie Williams trick and just say the numbers and point the microphone at their bench to say the name?

As for Edgware..they have a SOLID back 4 which includes a 'vetran CB' a young ex-Wigan ATHLETIC U21 player..currently 19..AND a reliable RB. Their striking force is consistent too.

Bilal Butt is there magic man. Lovely player at that level. Not sure why it didn't happen for him at a higher level.
