Accrington Stanley

[boulevardofbrokendreamss]

I don't ready like football but I've become suddenly invested in this fa cup game. It's the advert for me and how those players must be feeling. What an opportunity! No real point to this but good luck to them!

Over 70 mins in and only let two goals through. They can be really proud of their performance 👏

Ah shame. Third goal...

Nice to see a lot of the kids getting a run out. I'm sure a lot of the commentary will be about Liverpool being 'bad' because they only scored three, but this is a really rotated team and they're taking it easy

There would be no glory for them absolutely thrashing a lower league team. 3-0 is OK for both sides. AS aren't giving up

Well done both teams!

Hope so, I've got him in my FPL team.

Well done AS, I loved the advert too

Ah well. They gave a good match.👏👏👏

Accrington played really well.

They're really not!!!!

They're really not!!!!.

They are!
My DS and DH have been saying this on repeat all day 😂😂

Must be true then!!!

Must be true then!!!

You know it's in reference to an old advert yeah?

I don't think they do 😂

I was visiting the Somme battlefield some years ago and happened to be in the area where the Accrington Pals served. Someone had left an Accrington Stanley scarf in tribute. I do remember the milk ad, but it's the Pals I think of when I hear the team mentioned.

Apparently, Kevin Spaine, who delivered the 'exactly' line is in jail for murder.

Mad, the twists some people's lives take.

Do you understand the reference?

Goodness!

Liverpool Echo says he delivered "Accrington Stanley? Who are they?" and the other lad replied "Exactly!".
