ALL GAMES
 Leicester's resources will likely tell eventually, but youth football at a neutral venue rarely respects the ledger. Tranmere will have something to say about that. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 19 (Coventry City) 3  Weston-super-Mare AFC Vick Hall 1  Chesterfield FC Phil McIntosh WHO PREDICTED WHAT WES (17) Abe, Allan, Andy, Antoine, Brian, Colin, Graham, Hazel, James, James, Jason, Jeff, Martyn, Rob, Roy, Simon, Vick DRAW (2) Aires, Ian CHF (5) Carl, Dave, Mike, Phil, Steve  Can we break Chesterfield down in this game? Normally we are at this stage in the Cup when we get a big Exit! ~ Vick ~ Jun 18 (Weston-super-Mare AFC) Chesterfield with the divisional edge on paper, but youth football at a neutral venue has a habit of ignoring credentials entirely. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 19 (Coventry City) 0  Watford James Tucker 0  Port Vale FC John Holden WHO PREDICTED WHAT WAT (18) Abe, Aires, Allan, Antoine, Carl, Dave, Graham, Hazel, James, James, Jeff, Martyn, Mike, Phil, Rob, Roy, Simon, Vick DRAW (2) Andy, Ian PV (4) Brian, Colin, Jason, Steve JT throwing bodies forward as usual — four or five up top in a Youth Cup knockout is bold or reckless depending on how Port Vale's backline sets up. Eight youth players minimum keeps it honest at least. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 16 (Coventry City)   Yeah didn't deserve it ~ John ~ Jun 22 (Port Vale FC) | 5  Dorchester Town Andy Shaw 3  Swindon Town FC Matt White WHO PREDICTED WHAT DOR (20) Abe, Allan, Andy, Antoine, Brian, Carl, Colin, Dave, Hazel, James, James, Jason, Jeff, Martyn, Mike, Rob, Roy, Simon, Steve, Vick DRAW (2) Aires, Ian SWI (2) Graham, Phil  Both teams looking to secure a quarterfinal berth. ~ Andy ~ Jun 14 (Dorchester Town)  Andy Shaw keeps it tight, grinds out results — classic one-nil merchant. Swindon will need to break that door down early or Shaw's lads will nick it and run. ~ Olmec Head Ray ~ Jun 16 (Blyth Spartans AFC) Andy Shaw keeping it tight against Swindon — logical enough, though youth football tends to punish caution more than experience does. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 17 (Coventry City) That was end to end and far too exciting for me. ~ Andy ~ Jun 27 (Dorchester Town)  Not you again ~ Simon ~ Jun 13 (Northampton Town FC) Compi rushing into this one without a plan — classic. Derby are no mugs though, and on a neutral patch it's whoever wants it more. ~ Olmec Head Ray ~ Jun 16 (Blyth Spartans AFC) Compo in a rush without thought against a Derby side that will simply wait for the mistake — neutral venue, knockout format, youth players. The math tends to do the rest. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 17 (Coventry City)  This week in the Youth Cup, the following Saturday in the FA Cup semifinals. History is not on our side against Ian’s Lilywhites (what is a lily white?). 😬 ~ Brian ~ Jun 15 (Brighton & Hove Albion) Brighton youth against Preston at a neutral. Beerman's floor is unpredictable, I'll give him that — though unpredictable and Preston in the same fixture has historically meant disappointment for the Seagulls. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 16 (Coventry City)  Brighton bring home the fish and chips ~ Graham ~ Jun 20 (Cardiff City FC)  Surprised Ian doesn't have another non-league side at this stage of the competition. The tick marks all say Brian Beerman today... ~ Allan ~ Jun 20 (Brentford FC)  After the last non league side we faced injured our SL15 DF with a -5 FIT injury? ~ Ian ~ Jun 20 (Preston North End FC) The GK came good in the end, in an otherwise close fought match. Another -4 injury though. ~ Ian ~ Jun 20 (Preston North End FC) Ugh, we just can’t beat Ian. I’m sure it will be another loss in the FA Cup next weekend. ~ Brian ~ Jun 20 (Brighton & Hove Albion) Best of luck to you Ian. We’ll get the better of you one day. ~ Brian ~ Jun 20 (Brighton & Hove Albion) Nil-nil in ninety. Preston avoiding defeat against Brighton is practically a heritage event at this point. Extra time awaits — I suspect Beerman's already mentally preparing his penalty excuse. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 20 (Coventry City) OLMEC is right - we were definitely robbed in the pk’s. I. Fact we’re always robbed against PNE (jk) ~ Brian ~ Jun 21 (Brighton & Hove Albion) |  Lord have mercy. May the best win !!! ~ Abe ~ Jun 14 (Leeds United) Dohm parks the bus so tight they'll need a tow truck to shift it. Leeds better bring a battering ram or this one goes deep into extra time. ~ Olmec Head Ray ~ Jun 16 (Blyth Spartans AFC)  Might be an early exit for Lewes this season....Leeds has a ton of good youth ~ Dave ~ Jun 17 (Lewes FC) Double D parking the bus against Leeds in a neutral knockout — statistically sound until it isn't. Extra time tends to be unkind to low blocks running on fumes. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 17 (Coventry City) Don't believe him Abe...he's just saying nice things to distract you... ~ Allan ~ Jun 20 (Brentford FC) Our money is on Dave Dohm the Pinata ~ Ian ~ Jun 20 (Preston North End FC) Lewes 1, Leeds 0. The Dohminator parks the bus, the passengers arrive safely, and apparently that is quite enough. Old Crocodile Tears keeping his powder dry for the next round. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 20 (Coventry City) Fortunate to win against a very talented Leeds team ~ Dave ~ Jun 20 (Lewes FC) This was definitely a tough loss for us ~ Abe ~ Jun 21 (Leeds United) We thought we had a great youth squad this season. Oh well!! ~ Abe ~ Jun 21 (Leeds United) Early YC exit here!!! ~ Abe ~ Jun 21 (Leeds United) 4  Bristol City FC Jason Halpin 2  Cardiff City FC Graham Wilkes WHO PREDICTED WHAT BRI (18) Abe, Aires, Allan, Antoine, Carl, Colin, Hazel, James, James, Jason, Jeff, Martyn, Mike, Phil, Rob, Roy, Simon, Steve DRAW (3) Andy, Ian, Vick CRD (3) Brian, Dave, Graham Youth Cup neutrals tend to expose the teams who've actually invested in their development structure.... ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 16 (Coventry City) ...Halpin rotating his youth in deliberately is either clever or convenient — Cardiff's inconsistency suggests Wilkes may not notice the difference either way. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 16 (Coventry City) This is my favorite match of the session. ~ Brian ~ Jun 16 (Brighton & Hove Albion)  The Bluebirds are daunting opponents. ~ Jason ~ Jun 20 (Bristol City FC) hard to call so i have plumped for a draw. ~ Vick ~ Jun 20 (Weston-super-Mare AFC) Severnside derby it’s gonna be mayhem only 4 draws in 48 matches someone will taste blood I feel ~ Graham ~ Jun 20 (Cardiff City FC) Cardiff have only won 3 of the last 14 ~ Graham ~ Jun 20 (Cardiff City FC) Four-two. Halpin's youngsters did what they needed to do, efficiently enough. Cardiff never quite looked like a team that knew where they wanted to be — which, to be fair, appears to be something of a tradition. ~ Olmec Head Marcus ~ Jun 20 (Coventry City) We,l done Bristol ~ Graham ~ Jun 25 (Cardiff City FC) |
