Bramall Lane, the home of Sheffield United (of the bleedin premiership!), was today host to 5000 traveling Jacks as we descended on the city of Sheffield for the FA Cup round 3 match against United.

The crowd were hoping for a draw at least to take this back to the Liberty, apart from the odd few (insane/overly optimistic) fans who felt this was ours for the taking... What was to follow however stunned even the most optimistic of fans...

Fallon helps out in his new midfield role

Austin traking back to beat Nade to the ball

Butler free kick - it clips the wall and then the crossbar before going out for a corner

Amankwa gets hacked to the ground, and it looks serious

After some physio attention to his ankle injury he re-enters the field of play to try and run it off...

Minutes later though he is replaced by Ezy...

Half time 0-0 half way to the promised land of a home replay...
