DEM BLADES on...the magic of the FA cup.

[Steve Mackan]

Here's the first in what I hope is a few 'magic of the cup' articles. Who doesn't love a cup run?

A very brief and uninformative account of yesterday's game with a wee anecdote about the magic of the FA cup...

Cheers, all.

The official site says the Blades are "in the hat" for the 4th round draw tomorrow.

When was the last time a hat was used for the draw, I wonder. Who's hat was it?

We need to know.

Maybe they're no longer used due to changes in fashion?

Back in the day, a 'top hat' was the popular hat of choice; these have quite a large volume to put each team's name into. The modern era unfortunately has seen the rise in popularity of 'beanie' hats, which make most people look like they've got a condom on their head and have very little capacity to store 32 scraps of paper.

Not sure but why not use JOC magic one ?

.....cos we’d get accused of cheating and that the ‘magic hat’ can decide who we play against!

Dunno, we are ball no. 1 though (if they still actually use balls,though do they use binary numerals now ?)

Good to see our superiority has been realised at last.

Is it too soon to use the term MASSIVE ?

Glad to see Coutts back as man of the match.

Though I thought Ryan Leonard had some good input to the team.

I may well have to interrogate this line of questioning when it comes to the next round!

You're correct. It was a perfect moment for Leonard to get the nod, but I fear he might start on Saturday and rule himself out of contention.
