Typical chuffing Borehamwood

Does anyone think anything will come out of it?

I suppose it very much depends upon what the referee's report says, doesn't it?

Not a hope in hell of getting the result over turned or of a replay.

I watched the footage on Sky Sports News yesterday. The so called fan jumped on to the pitched, punched the K's captain in the head and then calmly walked of passed 3 or 4 stewards who stood and watched him disappear into the crowd.

Interesting article from the point of view of a Ks fan here - www.twohundredpercent.net/?p=5754

I agree with you that it seems unlikely Hatboy but this article uses an example of an FA Cup tie, also involving Kingstonian, where a replay was awarded in similar circumstances.

There is, after all, precedent for the ordering of a replay, and Kingstonian were involved when it happened. In 1992, Ks were losing an FA Cup first round replay at Peterborough every bit as heavily as the 3-0 scoreline after an hour suggests – Peterborough, then as now (well, until last week), were in English football’s second-tier, and they were showing it. Then a 50p coin landed from a considerable height on the head of our goalkeeper Adrian Blake, who was badly dazed and carried off to the dressing-rooms where his nausea and dizziness wrought havoc on dressing-room floor and glass door alike.

Kingstonian responded, in those pre-sub goalkeeper days, by putting Andy Parr in goal, the smallest player in the team by nearly a yard. Kingstonian got the best goal of the night. Peterborough, however, got the other… nine. So imagine my surprise when the words which greeted me as I got home were “so, you’ll get a replay, then.”

The FA resolved the difficulty by ordering a behind-closed-doors replay, even though Peterborough United’s team and management were at least as innocent as Wood’s last weekend, and the result of the original game was beyond reasonable doubt… 3-0 or 9-1 doesn’t matter in a cup.
