I’m 100% interested in a BRFCS 2026 calendar. 

Are you volunteering for Mr June?

Here’s Round 2 where our plucky heroes take on Peterborough Utd for a place in the last 16…who will prevail? 👀

Comfortable in the end but we did seem to get the rub of the green a little bit in the middle part when the game was still in the balance. You could see against a better side that we may have some limitations if we come up against top class opposition.

I was screaming “Robinho” at the screen at one point but he only scored 14 goals for City. 
 

It must be difficult on the spot, as I’m just watching on the sofa and I’m racking my brain for answers like Kieran Gibbs but missing the obvious like Gazza, Gerrard and Jimmy Greaves.

The stress under live recording studio conditions is significant…when they read out the answers you can’t help but slap your forehead.

There was a VAR in this round…they initially said Diego Costa was wrong but Scott stood by his guns & after much Googling was proved correct…😁

That is the most Scott thing ever 😄

Another Premier League side stands in the way of BRFCS in the R16 match…a side in claret & blue…no, not them…can the mighty blues reach the QF?

Well played fellas.  Pulled it out the bag in the final round ⚽

[arbitro]

A real end to end match with Rovers coming out on top.

Well done Ian and Scott for keeping the blue flag flying high.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

The final round was incredible. Top work, guys!

Well done fellas but how the fuck did you not get Paul Dickov? 😉😘

The City lads didn’t look happy during that mauling. Well played chaps.

Shows what happens when you have to rely on local talent instead of buying it in!

Great performance Herbie and Scott.

[arbitro]

Well done Ian and Scott again.

Hopefully your contract extensions are being negotiated between your agents and the club - we can't let you both go for free. 

Get the open top bus provisionally booked 

😂😂

Really enjoying following your progress in this, good stuff! Good luck in the semis, maybe Morten can head this one in 😎

[oldjamfan1]

Smashed it! Well done lads 

[Herbie6590]

We can guarantee that a side from Lancashire reaches the final of the TalkSport Cup…

It’s a Lancashire Hot-Pot of a semi-final as Bolton Wanderers are determined to strike a blow for the lower leagues… 👀

Thank you…60 teams would have swapped with us. When we started I would have taken winning one round. 🙂

They went on to win it so we did lose to the cup winners…

[norwichblue]

Well done guys. Brilliant effort throughout.

[windymiller7]

Unlucky fellas, those questions were really tough & as said above, the lads from Bolton were superb. Done as all proud there.

But...... Luca Toni? 🤦‍♂️😄. I did have a bit of a chuckle at that with the amount of times he gets a mention on here.

[rog of the rovers]

Is it true that @Herbie6590 and @4000Holes are entering the competition again this season.....but representing Derby?

Have heard rumblings.... ITKer 😆

Great effort guys. Niall from Wanderers was too strong
