Nah, what they said on the NPL Show was between us and Lincoln, we'd earned about £40,000 in prize money combined, which when you take into account Lincoln got to the 4th Qualitying round in the FA Cup makes sense.

Prize money earnt by us to date - FA Cup £9425 FA Trophy £5200 Total £14625

Winner of Tuesday's replay will pocket £3250

It was certainly an entertaining game with two leaky defences. Quite how we will get on without Brad and Nabil on Tuesday is unclear, but at least Rory Winters will be available again.

is that for accumulating 5 yellows? or in Brads case 7!!!

Well if we do get through we wont be playing the Ploppies. But St Neots and St Ives are still in the hat as well as Stocksbridge, Witton and Shaw Lane

Missing Brad will be no loss as he was shocking today. Missing Shariff though is a massive blow. Seriously need another right back too! Lincoln were ok nothing special however if you defend like we did they will look decent.

I thought McNulty was OK today. Their attack certainly was very good at least at the beginning - first goal we gave the ball away but then the play by them was really good.

A good cup-tie I thought. Referee overall wasn't as bad as made out earlier imo. Missed a terrible one on Taylor though.

He certainly wasn't the worst referee we've had, but some of the decisions he made were questionable. The linesman on Dales Bar side wasn't much better either! I think some of the refs we have must get their badges out of cereal boxes!!!

I think a draw was a fair result, would have been harsh on either side to lose that game. Confident we can get a result on Tuesday though.

Thoroughly entertaining and enjoyable game, probably helped by the conditions. Pity it couldn't be settled on the day.

Are we going to have to play Tuesday/Thursday at one point over the next couple of weeks? The Corby game that was scheduled for Tuesday would presumably need to be played before the next round of that competition on 29th November.

Yes indeed - although today's yellow card was only Brad's 6th - http://www.afcdiamonds.com/201617-playe ... atch-stats
