March 7, 201510 yr Great news that BT Sport are currently showing Bradford v Reading for free-to-air.
March 7, 201510 yr Currently goalless at Bradford City v Reading. Currently live and free on BT Sport 1 and HD.
March 7, 201510 yr So it's a replay then for Bradford City and Reading. I have to say now that I fancy Reading to win the replay. Although you never know with Bradford City. However you have to say that Bradford's best chance has probably gone.
March 7, 201510 yr Everybody underestimated Reading, but they've been a good Cup team for a number of years now. The pitch was dreadful, but the worst I remember was Stamford Bridge for Chelsea against Charlton in 2003 http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2013/06/05/...638_634x402.jpg That was considered acceptable for a Premier League match :lol:
March 7, 201510 yr How even is this pitch considered acceptable? When I started watching football, that pitch would have been considered excellent for early March :lol:
March 7, 201510 yr Reading will be favourites, but Bradford will do OK you would expect, but they've been in pretty poor form lately so I would back Reading all the way.
March 7, 201510 yr Turning into an utterly hopeless day for FA Cup football... This is the downside of cup upsets! Great at the time, but when you get to the latter stages, there is a real lack of quality on show, at least in the first two ties.
March 7, 201510 yr Those fans at the end, ruined the flow of the game in the last few minutes, not really warranted.
March 7, 201510 yr Those fans at the end, ruined the flow of the game in the last few minutes, not really warranted. Killjoy! Its not like Villa fans have had a lot to celebrate in the last few years.
March 7, 201510 yr Killjoy! Its not like Villa fans have had a lot to celebrate in the last few years. Granted, but it was like something from 25 years ago. I don't mind fans running on to the pitch and celebrating, but swinging from the goalposts topless.. just a little bit too much. Poor policing.
March 8, 201510 yr The rule of not invading the pitch seems pretty lax to say the least mind. It's more understandable at the end of the game (although the opposition players are still put in great risk) but during the game? Unacceptable, ban them all.

Ridiculously small time though, fair enough if it's a League 1/2 side.. but Villa won the European Cup back in the day. Guess it shows how far they've fallen that they're celebrating going to the semi-finals of the FA Cup :lol: I don't think it's right for fans to invade the pitch at all, I mean from a safety perspective it's ridiculous.

Tbf, they haven't won the Cup since the 50's and apart from that spell of success in the early 1980's, they've been mediocre for decades. There wasn't exactly much malice in the invasion, but stupidity in doing it while the game was still on. Look at Birmingham v Villa from 2010, or local to me, Bristol City v Bristol Rovers from 2013 for actual violent pitch invasions that deserved heavy punishment.
March 8, 201510 yr Good draw for Blackburn Rovers holding Liverpool to a goalless draw. If the BBC are showing a quarter-final replay then it could be this.
