94th Minute Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 One of the truly magical competitions in football, the only time I really care about the top flight teams at all. Nothing excites me quite like, even the draw I'll tune into every time with some genuine excitement as the teams are plucked out of the bowl. It wouldn't be the FA Cup without a hypothetical question though. Without a doubt McInnes has got us playing some high quality football, and there is a feeling that anything can happen. However also after our slow fall from the highpoint of the playoff final in 2008 I'm sure we're all aware that we have to cherish the moment, this could be first season syndrome, the players are playing with passion and regardless of what happens in the next 6 months there are no guarantees of how we'll turn up the season after. So, with no foresight beyond May 31st 2012 what would you prefer: We win the FA cup, but finish 7th in the league, missing out on the playoffs by a single point We go out in the 2nd round of the FA cup to Bristol Rovers, but make the playoffs by a point, going on to win at Wembley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 do we even play in the 2nd round? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chivs Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 do we even play in the 2nd round? No. But saying that Rovers beat us in the third round is a fantasy that the OP knew wouldn't fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myol'man Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 Fa cup win would give us our 1st ever major trophy, puts us into Europe and gets us noticed. Most play-off winners come straight back down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94th Minute Posted November 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 do we even play in the 2nd round? Oh, sorry. I thought it was only Premier League teams playing in Europe who got the bye into the 3rd round... the meaning of the question is still obvious though. It's unlikely Rovers will beat Corby, so even if we were in the 2nd round I don't think it would have made the scenario any more realistic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

glosciderarmy1981 Posted November 12, 2011 Report Share Posted November 12, 2011 The FA cup is magical no doubt, but I would have to for the playoff win & a place in the prem. To be able to say we are a premier league side would certainally help us forget the disappointment of losing to the blue tripe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
