A belting tie. Games against Newcastle have always had a special feel about them for me. Just don't go and do the typical Rovers thing under these owners tomorrow.

Why is the FA Cup fifth round being played in midweek?

From last season But it looks like the FA bowing in to the big clubs.

who came up with that pointless rule of the linesman not putting his flag up immediately

Wonderful (if slightly blurry) memories

A chance for Adam Wharton to show what they could have.

Will the Club be decorating all the Corporate and Blues Bar in black and White for the day?

come on newport,get straight in and give that whinging **** fernandez the reducer,snap him in half😁

[superniko]

Another payday for Waggot if we win tomorrow. But it’ll be the end of our cup run (and season), if it isn’t tomorrow.

Gutted for Maidstone what a crap draw for them

The Magic of the FA Cup, Newport back on levels terms having been 0-2 down.

[simongarnerisgod]

this could be epic😂

[Ianrally]

Both Fernandez and Ten Hag interviewed on TV after the game and neither could bring themselves to give Newport any positive mention of their performance. You’d think Ferguson had written their script. No wonder Man U are hated

Seems a long way off right now!!

Both Rovers and the BBC have it listed at 19.45 on Wednesday 28th?

Tuesday. Obviously Rovers haven’t got round to update the fixture list, standard for them.

Shoddy by the Beeb though considering it’s live on BBC1.

It has been moved by the BBC now. Either way I'll be on the beach in Rio.

Mostly I won’t be on the beach - that will just be the last few days of the trip.

Actually what we need is a run like the one when I went away at a similar time last year. I was away for 3.5 weeks and we won 5 games in a row, 4 in the league and at Leicester in the cup.

Good.....Wherever you're going, FUCKING STAY THERE; at least until June 2026.  By then we should have The European Cup, The Uefa Cup, 2 more Community/Charity Shields, 2 more Football League Cups, 2 more FAPL crowns & 3 more FA Cups. We'll send food & kits.............

Of course these Venkys assholes would melt it all down for the gold & silver.  Those 2 planted punks Suhail Shaikh & Steve Waggott haven't the keys to the trophy case do they?

Cost of living crisis hitting hard?

While you’re there find us  some players on the Copacabana. You’ll have to the paperwork though as the club clearly can’t
