Injury time heartbreak for the Bucks!!

An injury time goal from Keiran Agard earned Bristol City and not AFC Telford United a place in the 3rd round of the FA cup.

It is always heartbreaking to go out of this famous competition at any stage, but to be knocked out at this stage, only one step away from a chance of a money spinning home tie with the likes of Manchester United, City, Chelsea , Liverpool or Arsenal up for grabs is a real kick in the teeth.  Even worse is the fact that it happened during injury time.

The Bucks deserve great credit for their endeavours and effort, to take the highest ranked team in the competition at this stage to the 92nd minute of the game at nil-nil is impressive but to have matched their far superior opponents (in league and form terms at least) and to have had chances to win the game themselves on The Robins own patch is testament to the team, the players, the manager, the coaching staff and of course the supporters who travelled to the game and got behind their team from the very first minute to the very last.

Bucks keeper Jonathan Hedge made some important saves.

Everyone involved should be very proud of themselves and the effort they have put in.  Although eventually the result didn't go Telford's way they should take a lot from this tie.

At the moment The Bucks are at the bottom of the conference Premier but if they can take the positives from this game and use the experience of taking a team that lets face it will probably be plying their trade in the Championship next year then who is to say they can't get out of this rut they find themselves in the league and get themselves out of the relegation dog fight.

So now it is with a heavy heart that I have to move on and leave AFC Telford United to their battle for survival in the Conference, but as is the whole point of doing this glory hunt I have to move on to the next one in the hope that they can bring me the FA cup success i crave for.

Bad luck to the Bucks of Telford and good luck for the rest of the season, I truly hope and I truly believe you will be a conference side next season.

The FA cup glory hunt rolls on.

Alan Shearer picked out ball number 63 last night and Bristol City will be away in the next round against Doncaster Rovers.

Come on you Robins!!!

Up the Robins!!!
