Am I the only one who finds the whole magic of the cup thing cringey as hell?

Remember a few years back with Sutton United and the goalkeeper eating a pie on the bench against Woolwich and the club sacking him the next day

Pretty stupid scenes

Even worse, he only got sacked due to a betting line on whether he’d eat a pie or not. He either put money on it or gave inside info and then ate the pie.

Just the one poster on here saying that isn't it?

I'll be pissed off if we lose, and for the club and supporters it will be a huge embarrassment. Yes it would be a fairytale story for Marine and I certainly wouldn't begrudge them enjoying their time in the spotlight, but let's just thrash them and move on.

The New Saints, previously TNS are an example of a franchised club. Total Network Solutions Ltd sponsored the original club and changed its name.

They are actually called The New Saints of Oswestry and Llansantffraid so even then the areas they represent are in the name.

Others that were suggested include Raith, but that is an area of Kirkcaldy.

One possible is Albion Rovers. Other than the Irish ones mentioned previously I can't think of any others where the the area or district isn't mentioned.

I agree, if we were to lose it would be the biggest shock in FA Cup history and also the most embarrassing.

I even think a win only by one goal would be pretty shameful.

I hope we don't take the piss and don't wish to see any play-acting BUT I'm still hoping we win and win well, at least a three goal winning margin and no injuries.

I've read some comments online from Spurs fans claiming they wouldn't mind if we lost. Really?! You think if this happened we'd ever hear the end of it?

Plus it's been a long time since we won this wonder trophy and it's about time we put that right.
 
Still stand by Mourinho being sacked if we lose this.

What an embarrassment it would be.

We'll win 5 or 6-0
