Yes and Carlisle’s is believed to be the biggest in the National League by a country mile. Gillingham might not be top of League Two but they’re pushing for a play off place. Listening between 5:05 and 5:45 Barrow didn’t get a mention, the Carlisle Manager and goalkeeper were interviewed at length as was the Workington boss. If the roles were reversed that would never have happened with two Barrow interviews before a Carlisle one.
It has happened before

Unfortunately logistics at Gillingham i had to go from the press box to pitch side to do my interviews which meant a climb of 4 floors

Murray came to me as Rob Elliot was being interviewed so I recorded 10mins with him

And I then did 5mins with Isaac Marriott

I’m good but not quite mastered the art of being in 3 places at once so apologies for that
It would be good if the guys in the studio just explained that so that those of us listening aren't exploding with frustration at the apparent bias. Great commentary to listen to, though, Adam, and your summariser, Bobby Bowry, was clearly impressed.
Don't let the old man in.

Need to borrow Hendonblue’s Time Machine AJ as he has mastered the 3 places at once bit.😉

It’s just not tennis is it, but keep creating the racket and hopefully the next round it will be game, set and match too :scarf: .

A home draw would certainly give us an advantage.

Anyone see York City's goal after 10 seconds against Northampton following what the Beeb calls "...a unique kick-off."? Er...copycat, I'd call it:

Keaton Ward esque from Ollie Banks! Was Marriotts goal against forest green faster than this one? Not that it counts now :(

It was Corey Edwards who took the kick off

Keaton Ward was on the bench

A home draw against a northern team will do in the 2nd round

I was meaning the Forest Green match sorry but just realised he was on the bench then too I had in my head it was Ward!
Must've been the Gloucester replay I saw him do it in

Dont worry. You won’t end up in court. With “Inis” as well it was a double fault.

Spotted by a Gillingham supporter. Gills were knocked out of the Cup last season after a defeat by Newport. The Newport goals were scored by CAMERON evans and CAMERON Antwi. No doubt next year they'll be hoping for somebody without a Cameron in their ranks.
