An important milestone ! (1 Viewer)

Today in one of the broadsheets I noticed this quote re the Macclesfield Palace match - maybe the ghost has finally gone ! With no mention of the team

“The result was statistically the biggest shock in Cup history. The previous biggest gap bridged by a team was 108 places.”

Sick to death of them constantly mentioning it at every FA cup game,

Hopefully this MAC win banishes it back a little

We are no longer the worst defeat in FA cup history! Sutton will die on the vine and commentators will be quoting Macclesfied v Palace absolutely brilliant!

And the older commentators have passed onto that great bollox hub in the sky

First time existing cup holders have been beaten, by non league team , apparently.

You do know that we weren't the holders when Sutton beat us?

Nope.

Is that to me? Obviously we weren't, read my post again. On about Palace.

By adding 'apparently' it seemed like you were questioning if it was correct!

 

[Skyblueabo1111]

I added "apparently", because it was reported in the match..Yet you posted " nope". Enlighten me? You were wrong, weren't you? Which others?

Thankfully no one brings up our 1958 defeat to Aldershot, a humbling 4-1

This years most over quoted boring fact, footballs bursting in two successive FA Cup Finals due to the poor quality of post war leather.

I know I'm guilty too. But seems to have been quoted in every game I have watched live or listened to.

Not only that but what was also quoted was just 2 seasons after winning the FA cup. Palace are the FA cup holders

It was me that posted 'nope', and no, I'm not wrong - 1908 Wolves won the cup. In the first round (proper) for the following season's competition they were drawn against non league opposition - That game at Molyneux ended 2-2. The replay resulted in a 4-2 victory for their opponents who just happened to be a then non league side called Crystal Palace.

King's Lynn at home, and then they appointed Jimmy Hiil as manager and the rest is history.

Which is why I posted "apparently" it was a comment made during the Palace game .
