Sheffield United 3-4 Mansfield Town  (FA Cup Round Three) It’s been an incredible weekend already. On Friday night Wrexham beat Forest in a thriller on penalties to provide headline writers with their much anticipated ‘Hollywood Ending’… Yesterday sixth tier Macclesfield trumped even that by knocking out holders Crystal Palace to write themselves into David verses Goliath territory, the Silkmen became only the ninth non-league club in 100 years to beat top flight opposition i

Doncaster Rovers 2-3 Southampton (FA Cup Round Three) So I chose the right game to go to last night, not putting myself through a miserable watch as a Forest fan, they were beaten by Wrexham on penalties and became the first ‘giant killing’ of the round, today they’ll be more of the same as I head out the door towards Doncaster, who host Southampton, for more FA Cup action. 23rd in League One, Doncaster Rovers have never been as far as the fifth round in the FA Cup, their re

Port Vale 1-0 Fleetwood Town  (FA Cup Round Three) It’s the FA Cup Third Round weekend, the David against Goliath of annual football fixturing, although tonight I’ve got a pair of David’s to go see play. I was slightly concerned that I wouldn’t get to see any football at all this weekend, Storm Goretti threatening to cause havoc, but it looks like we are through the worst of it, the covers have been on at Vale Park and a midday inspection has given the match all clear. Vale h

Mansfield Town 3-2 Harrogate Town (FA Cup Round One) Saturday afternoon, 3pm, the FA Cup. How much more traditionally English can one get? Upon hearing Friday's sorry announcement that the Premier League is playing just one Boxing Day fixture (Manchester United v Newcastle United at the ridiculous KO time of 8pm) this coming Christmas, to have a small bit of traditional value left in our football, is slightly satisfying for one who likes the simplicity, purity and once high

Nottingham Forest 1-0 Burnley (Women's FA Cup Round Four) *aet Not only my first women's match of the season, my first trip to the City Ground in over a year which is pretty bad for a Forest fan who's bouncing over the brilliance of the men's team right now. Forest women aren't doing bad themselves, top of the FA Women's National League North they are unbeaten so far but they did draw with Burnley in September, the Clarets are third in the same league and going well, tonight

Rotherham United 1-3 Cheltenham Town  (FA Cup Round One) I drove all the way to Liverpool on Wednesday for their Academy match with Hertha Berlin, almost 4 hours it took me due to traffic on the M6, I arrived with only ten minutes to kick off, to be told they didn’t have any accreditation for me, so back in the car I went, fortunately it took just under two hours to get home and I was back in time for the second half of Spurs v Man City. Lessons learned I’ve got a ticket for
