The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Great performance. TWO games from Brammal Lane.

When is the draw and what date is FAQ3? Can't wait for both.

3rd qualifying round played 10th October. Presume the draw is Monday lunch time

We were great but that was far easier than it should have been. I expect Deeping will be very disappointed with their performance, they simply didn't turn up.

Thought Scott Joseph was excellent, set up two goals and scored the other, the assist for Berwick's goal was great. His first touch and general goalscoring threat are unmatched amongst our other strikers. Hope the injury to Hoban isn't too bad.

The draw has been quite kind thus far so we're due a tough one. We're also due a home game!

There are now only three teams in the top 8 levels of English football unbeaten in any game this season.

Solihull Moors
Ebbsfleet
AFC Rushden and Diamonds

Our unbeaten run is now 31 games and counting.

Draw is Monday, no doubt it will be another on the road.. The home draws don't usually go our way! An excellent performance today by all 11 players, put in a shift and professional all round.. Outstanding imo from Quigley and Courtney Herbert who done superb. Not much real threat from deeping bar a couple of efforts so the unbeaten record wasn't really in jeapardy!

Thought the linesman on the dugout side was a right tool! Never known a linesman to be as unprofessional in reacting to the crowd as he did. Thought he's meant to take the attitude not dish it!

A few sore losers who can't control their alcohol on the way out too moaning at everyone going out the no exit!! Don't know what he was more p*ssed with me about, going out that way or nearly ending up on my bonnet Some hardcore fans giving it large but probably there once in a blue moon! Oh well let's move on and happy days :lol:

Yeah, it was surprising how poor Deeping were on their big day and after their victory last round, but we were very solid and got the job done very well showing our superiority all over the pitch. Some great finishes as well, really pleased for our win, 2 wins away from being in the draw with the FL teams, just got to hope the FA Cup draw gods are on our side, it would be fantastic to have the cup run finish in a trip to a FL club or somewhere

It was a quality team performance from all of the guys - including the management who made sure we treated Deeping with due respect. Both Herbert and Wilkinson had their best game for the club, and apart from an early mistake Delroy Gordon stepped into Jack Ashton's shoes really well. It was also good to see Steve Spriggs on the bench - he might be needed on Tuesday if Courtney Herbert picked up a knock and Claudio is also out.

I admit I was a bit concerned about the apparent inexperience of the ref when I saw this before the game - http://www.cambridge-news.co.uk/Histon- ... story.html - but he was one of the best we've had for a while.

For me best performance this season not for the football we played which was ok but we have played better this season, but for the all round performance, today could have been a possible banana skin but from the 1st to 90th min we were never in trouble & looked in total control. A game when once we'd scored we would win. It could be said Deeping were poor, but IMO that was mostly due to the job we did, never easy to play football without the ball. No disrespect to Scotty who was good but my MOTM was Quigers who was immense, all over the park breaking up everything they tried & clearing up any mistakes we made. What do we want next? a home tie against another step 4 Club and progression. A visit to a Conferance side isn't that far away now.

Eastbourne Borough or Eastbourne Town if it has to be an away game, as I will be in East Sussex that weekend for a birthday party.

when i saw the attendance i thought ,'do they usually get that many'.
as for a home tie. i was talking to my mate last week and we could only remember 5 home fa cup ties.
cardiff
leeds
sheff united
yeovil
scunny
