Well done Maidstone, hope they get a cracking draw in the next round. These are the ties the FA Cup is about.
Wonderful display by the keeper. Ipswich will be ruing these missed chances but credit to Maidstone. Outstanding effort and 2 cracking goals. Hope they get a good one in the 5th round.
Well done Maidstone, cracking stuff. The magic of the cup is alive and well! (Also had a fiver on Maidstone - tonight’s pub visit paid for)
Absolutely incredible! Found myself celebrating that. So fed up of the Ipswich bias this season. Hopefully this completely derails them.
I've asked a Stockport fan at the club if they can donate two of their goals v Donny today to Neverton. Perhaps too late.
Knowing our luck, should we get past Southampton tomorrow afternoon it'll be Man City away or those cloggers up the road. Well done Maidstone though, excellent result for them.
Where they play Man City, who a day earlier get relegated 2 divisions and are banned from fielding any player over the age of 17.
If we get through and it's a BIG if , then Maidstone is the tie clearly , I am glad for them and watched the match today cheering them on however , blimey, when their luck runs out they will be on the end of a mahoosive shoo-ing
The FA will want Maidstone to get a bigger team in the 5th round, as the story of them potentially winning will be even greater. They’ll probably get Villa or Chelsea depending on who wins that replay

There's so much to dislike about Everton. 1984. Andy Gray. Snakes. Gift Luton their 1st prem win and then cave in to those brutes in that way. They've only been held together in the last few seasons by taking Richarlison, Doucoure and Dyche. The only reason I hope they don't get more points deducted is because of obvious Bedfordshire factors.
Should VAR be used, not only in the FA Cup, but any other knockout cups, when NOT all teams in the competition can use it??? IMO it should not be used at all in any competitions when it is NOT available to all teams taking part, because it can be unfair for teams who would have won a tie had VAR been available. I remember a tie against a team whose name I can't remember that we ended up losing. Anyway we got a draw at their place where they did not have VAR, but had they had VAR we would have won the game instead of drawing. However in the replay at our place they got about 3 favourable VAR decisions which led them to win the match!!! I remember thinking at the time that using VAR in one of the games, but not the other unfairly skewered the overall result.
Hmm. They REALLY don't like each other. My brother has a WW friend who calls WBA " them Baggy b******s" and he's a lawyer!
Continues the curse of ITV this FA Cup season, which started with the awful decision to show Palace v Everton. The BBC on the other hand have had all the upsets and matches worth watching. Still, at least it means we haven’t got to endure Matterface during the suspension of play. Every cloud, and all that!
Disgusting behaviour. Football should be an entertaining day out. I get they are rivals, but starting fights where the players' kids and families are? Kick them both out the Cup as punishment or just end the match early at 2-0 and make sure both sets of fans can get out without trouble. I thought we had moved away from this level of trouble.
Having lived on the West Brom side of Birmingham for 30 years I can vouch for this. The rivalry between us and them up the road is fairly tame in comparison.
Agreed. Same WITH these non-league level muddy and bobbly pitches. You can NEARLY win a game on some crap pitch and then in the replay, they enjoy a carpet like ours and wipe the floor with US. Not FAIR and not roight. Ban non-league teams IMHO. AND crap pitches.
