all i can see now if the look on buckles ans the players faces when the number 1 ball was drawn. they have no one to blame but themselves, they lost the game not crawley.

You're right there, Crawley definitely didn't lose the game.
As said you could probably garentee if we went through we would of had Orient or Wednesday. Also proves cheats DO prosper.
The way I see it Crawley can show what a disgrace they are live on tele and be humilated. The actions they got away with down here they wont at Old Trafford.

Benyon should of been sent off and maybe Crawley should of had two penalties straight after each other to make up for such a thing to do. Imagine if he dived or feigned an injury? Oh wait thats not as bad.
At the end of the day, even if they get tonked 10-0 (which they won't) it really doesn't matter one bit, they will probably have banked c £1.5 million from this years FA Cup run and as a football club they have set themselves up nicely for perhaps the next 10 years. It just goes to show what a small club with some real ambition (albeit a massive gamble on the part of their investors) can achieve at this level, or in Crawley's case the one below. Perhaps if we had of allowed Bucks to spend a bit more in the summer, added one or two in key positions, then it might just have paid off for us in the way it has so spectacularly for Crawley.
The "atmosphere" on Tuesday night, never mind the attendance (c 1500?) is going to be very, very flat I fear. However the players (and the fans) have just got to pick themselves up as if we don't I can see this knocking the club big time. It wouldn't be the first tme that a clubs form has gone on the slide after a major disappointment and we must make sure it doesn't happen to us. We are not so far off the relegation spots to be comfortable just yet and for that reason alone the next two home games are vitally important as far as our season goes - two wins would be nice - and lets hope we can get to 50 points sooner rather than later.
we just have to move on now, we have had our rants our arguments we have to look on to hereford now on tuesday and not on crawley. if we dont do that and the players are still dis-heartened on tuesday then we will lose. we need to use this as an example that things need to change, 4-5-1 needs to change, benyon on his own up front need to change, and now concentrate on the league and push for the play-offs. COYY.

Those points will come from away games because we won't take any at home playing 4-5-1 / 4-4-1-1
