Didn’t MT get two of our goals and Charlie Colkett get a worldy? UTG! A Matty Taylor hatrick it looks like. Ok, thought he did something special. Colkett must have done a great assist. UTG!

Quigley has been impressive. Quick and strong and an eye for goal.

Stockport very impressive, amazing energy and pressing in the 2nd half, fair play to them. Quigley, Crankshaw and Southam-Hales all looked very useful! Mind you, I expect they're paying higher wages than us, they're wealthy and ambitious these days.

After watching the highlights, again and again, some great saves from Belshaw to keep us in it.

Mind you, I expect they're paying higher wages than us, they're wealthy and ambitious these days. They did look impressive. Surprisingly, they haven’t had the best of starts in the National League this season but were able to raise their game. The standard of the NL must be getting better all the time. This will give them a boost. UTG!

So Exeter v Bradford has to be replayed? If they broke the rules then why should Bradford be punished. Can only guess the ref missed the error but surely the onus is on Exeter. No doubt they claimed that they told an official but then that conversation was mysteriously lost

Bradford might not complain too much though given they lost 3-0!

I can only guess that the F.A. haven't thought of a punishment to fit the crime (crime is a bit strong but you catch my drift) or there was general confusion with the substitution

Very annoying for Bradford to have to fit another fixture in after already having played a replay and gone to extra time.

On the other hand, it gave them an advantage, a bit, so it seems right to me to replay it and not expel them.

Seems incredible that something so basic and obvious could be missed by four officials!? Unbelievable Jeff!

F.A. CUP 1st ROUND REPLAY: BRISTOL ROVERS 4 OXFORD UNITED 3 (a.e.t)
A game that we didn’t want and should never have had to play but that tired cliché “it is what it is” very much applied, so tickets were bought because as a fan it was my duty to attend.
Once the football day, from early afternoon onwards, got underway I thought it was going to turn out rather enjoyable. That was until the last two thirds of the second period of extra time which naturally changed my disposition dramatically.
In the second half when Matty Taylor came on I thought we started to play our football and once we’d got those two goals so very early in extra time our class shone through. After all we are League One and Rovers League Two. Being two goals to the good with only 10 minutes left it goes without saying that we should have seen the game out.
What our opponents had was spirit in abundance, never say die attitude and a deep desire to work and work until the very last. I’m not saying we weren’t trying. No way. But we didn’t have what they had. What they brought to the party (and that’s what it turned out to be for them at the final whistle) trumped what we brought.
They deserved it and I have nothing but admiration for them. Not that I know much about the division below us but for a side at that level, after seeing them at the Kassam, I concluded that at the very least they will be in the mix for promotion come May. Chatting to a Gashead in the pub beforehand he had less faith in his side than I did. “Nowhere near”, he said.
You can say what you like about Joey Barton but he certainly got his team playing in this and they did it without fouling and cheating as far as I could tell. So again fair play, literally.
Another thing that absolutely helps them is the home support. They never got on their team’s back when they were 3-1 behind and from our terracing we could detect what they were building on theirs as it became 3-2, 3-3 and then …. Well. Talk about sucking the ball in. There was that feeling. There were 4234 Gasheads in the ground but it felt like a lot more. The Blackthorn Terrace that houses home fans is some distance from the pitch so just think what influence they could play if almost within touching distance. Compare and contrast with the East Stand at Oxford.

Ref for Exeter v Bradford was the same one as we had at home to Northampton (Sam Allison) so makes perfect sense.
