Someone else said that our fans were trying to get him to do the 3 high fist pumps, but don’t think he did it. I guess the fan(s) may have gestured negatively back to him and that pissed him off, but I’m just guessing this last bit!

 

[uptheus]

I agree with this - it can't just be a coincidence that our defence has crumbled since he left, given that there have been so few other changes back there

Just wish we could find a Ben Nelson type defender.

What’s wrong with Brown?

If this is true, then it just highlights how brain-dead some football fans are.

Why the hell would a player want to do 3 fist pumps infront of the crowd after we just scraped past a league 2 side on penalties?!
We do have some odd fans that follow us.

Any news or update on Donley ??

Any news or update on Donley ??

I'm.wondering the same. The ribs / shoulder thing from Short seemed like a bit of a throwaway comment

 

[Manorlounger]

Grim game, great result. Pens were high class, Ingram was v good in second half. Peart - Harris and Mills pick up front. And we scored from a Vaulks long throw - thought those days were done.

MK will go up , they have got some v decent players and the Kuwaiti owners have got big bucks. Not the worst result in the world tonight at all.

Met Messrs Currie and Lankshear Senior at the game plus Sparky’s best mate who’d come all the way from Swansea to watch him. Very pleasant, grounded people. Curries family come from Hampton Court and the Lankshears from St Albans.

Wait until you have met Sparky's mum and grandmother!

 

[Yellowecky]

Great feeling; getting up on Saturday morning knowing you’re already through to Round Four of the FA Cup!

 

[Peterdev]

Who’d have thought Ingram would be bossing the MOTM poll!?

Never saw that coming. Having watched him at Brighton, I was surprised he was there. Very pleased to have been proved wrong. Hope it provides a dilemma in team selection. Nice to have cover for Cumming and is quality

Shorty on injuries:

Ciaron Brown probably out for a couple of weeks - much better than they feared when he injured himself in training. Has had a scan.

Nic Prelec - needs hernia surgery. Probably 3-4 weeks.

 

[Big Ronaldo]

Not impressive last night but a win is a win and we are through.
A long time since we have progressed in the cups.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Nonsense, get it on the box!!

But, yes, it would be great to have someone on the end of them. Hopefully this is something Bloomfield and his staff can organise properly and make sure the crossers know what runs the striker is making

 

[Symp59]

I thought Ingram was excellent and he could teach Cumming who i still think is a better player a thing or 2 about moving the ball quicker ,always ready to try and get us going excellent performance

That's been hard, I'm sure I'm not the only non-premier league fan thst lives for that trip to one of the big boys!

 

[Oldman159]

I thought we were much improved vis crosses into the box last night. IMHO Mills did very well in front of us in the corner. If it wasn’t for the incompetent Lino, he could have had a better time.

Watch the first two chances MK created before their goal.

Dembele totally unaware of what’s going on around him, makes absolutely no effort to go with their runner who puts in the cross.

For the second Vaulks is caught flat footed, realises he’s out of position but at least does try to stop the cross albeit unsuccessfully.

This is why we are crying out for an athletic defensive midfielder for cover and competition, and have been all season.

 

[Leysboy]

Spurs or Everton away please.

 

[psquared]

Plus ribs and shoulder

At least we now have a song for Donley …

Head, shoulders, ribs and toes
Jamie D

Get fit soon lad!

 

[MJB]

Spurs or Everton away please.

Old Trafford for me as, presumably, that would still be the biggest pay-day #romantic

 

[Stranger]

Old Trafford for me as, presumably, that would still be the biggest pay-day #romantic

Lowest ranked team at home please (rinse and repeat all the way to Wembley)

 

[Cass63]

Two things from me, Ingram our man of the match and dembele is shite.

 

[Leysboy]

Just for the new ground thing, that’s why I want to chalk them off.

Yes Old Trafford biggest pay day, but Brighton may knock them out, and I certainly don’t want them.

BRILLIANT!!

Let's alienate our new exciting signing one game into his time here, cos he didn't do some b*****s crowd pleasing gesture.
Did nobody stop to think that maybe he's a bit shy, and/or just doesn't feel acquainted enough yet to start f*****g about in front of thousand of fans like that?

Cut him some slack? Nah, have a go at him, and p**s him off!

Such a shame we've got such immature, braindead morons among our fanbase.

I don’t know that I’d get this upset and critical of our fans over a rumour that someone on here reports hearing second hand from a stranger and then followed up with a guess about what else might have happened.

Macclesfield one half away from the biggest FA cup shock ever here.

 

[Norwich exile]

If you want a good laugh, watch the bit at 5:45 in this MK Vlog. Deluded AF.

 

[OX14]

Macclesfield one half away from the biggest FA cup shock ever here.

Kip could only dream of us losing at half time to a club 5 leagues lower in the pyramid.

It's the magic of the fa cup.

 

[holdsteady]

Have to feel a bit sorry for Macclesfield, on for one of the great cup upsets and the BBC commentator just called them Wayne Rooneys brothers team.
