    FA Cup Magic!

    Being a Rochdale fan, these days don't come that often. Very proud of the lads today, Wembley here we come! It is definately up there with our promotion to league one and that day I made Granada reports.


    Any FA cup magic memories to share?

    I put £300 on Tottenham after half time when they were down 1-0.

    I cheered when Harry Kane scored the penalty 2-1 ("The Legend" I thought to myself).

    then Rochdale equalized 3 minutes into extra time....

    Having lived in Rochdale for many years and been to Spotland on more than one occasion, I still follow Rochdale (although Leeds Utd are my team).

    It was an incredible result today although I don’t hold out much hope for the replay. Still at least they get to play at Wembley!

    I’m not huge on football but loved the game

    Lots of drama

    In essence what the cup should be

    Rochdale more than deserve the draw

    I wish them well for the replay
    Spurs must be cursing with their busy schedule

    Nice to hear. I bet 2014 Dale vs Leeds was a strange one for you.

    Wembley is the prize I suppose. Apparently when Newport went to Wembley they were paid in excess of £1m. Would be a substantial amount for us.
    I will also get to take my 2 boys to see the game. One to remember for them I hope.

    As an Arsenal fan, I had some highs and lows during the game.

    I was really impressed with Rochdale and was gutted for them when Tottenhams professional penalty winner did his usual job. But that goal at the end was just awesome.

    As a Saints fan, I am always going to cheer for the underdog so was very pleased to see Rochdale get a deserved equaliser. I think a trip to Wembley is worth it anyway, but no reason why they can't go and win.

    Not really; I’m never surprised when Leeds underperform!

    Very well done Rochdale, a much deserved result.

    As a Coventry fan I was HUGELY disappointed by the whole weekend, not just the result. First of all TV decided to deprive us of much needed income by choosing not to show our game against Brighton live (why have former cup winners that are now in the second division against prem opponents....) It's just the same old teams shown live.

    Brighton then served up a measly 4,529 away tickets for their 30,750 seater stadium, half of what we got from MK Dons in the previous round.

    I did mean to tell members to lump on Wigan at the bookies once I found out that Taylor was the referee tonight.
    I have no reason to change my mind although the odds have dropped from 22-1 to 7-1 .

    Wigan stick it to City again. Even as a City fan Wigan were outstanding tonight, very similar performance to Bristol City vs City in League Cup.
    Danilo was particularly poor tonight and I’ve never seen a ref book write someone’s name on a yellow card and then show them the red!

    The ref must have been getting spoken to by the Lino? Looked harsh that sending off, would have been yellow all day in division One.

    Absolutely ridiculous, the tackle on Sergio 30 mins prior was much worse, the referee was a joke!

    To make matters worse there is a witch hunt as Aguero "appears" to lash out at a Wigwam fan, but new footage released by fans mobiles this morning shows the fan SPAT at him, disgusting.

    I was also there when shaun goater scored with his hand at Springfield Park in the division 3 play offs ! Any connection with your avatar?

    You've come a long way. Always admired the city fans for what they had to put up with over the years !
