[marky No.1]

Having to rely on BBC text, that's the best we can get, EFL don't have their fingers in the FA Cup pie.

Who are Hafilax?

[Keith]

No live video today? Presume it's an FA Cup issue

Aspers???

[Keith]

Oh you can't say that!!!

"A minute silence for Remembrance Day, where we remember FA Cup runs from the past".

(It was followed rapidly by a 'no, seriously...' comment before people get a lynching party together).

[Keith]

You know how much I love cricket...

Your Alistair Cook reference, I honestly thought 'Radio 4?' 'Letter From America?' 'Writer?'... nope, I don't get that reference at all... Then you mentioned cricket and I remembered there's more than one 'Alistair Cook/Cooke'

[Keith]

Bloody hell!!! They have the ball in the net in the last minute, but narrowly off-side! Even the commentary team are wondering if he was behind the ball when it was crossed.

Sounds like a trip to Yorkshire for a replay might be a good outcome!

[Andy D]

Strange subtitutions, taking off 2 of your most dangerous players early in the second half at 0-0.

I can see the logic at 2 nil up, saving them for the next game.

[Aspers]

Just what we need, a trip to Clackhuddersfax

[BerlinWaller]

Horrible substitutions that killed off any chance we had of winning after 54mins.

I think all the action was in the Hurley Flyer with the Radcliffe fans.

[cyprus-shrimp]

A very average day for Morecambe football team today. They can still go through of course, but they should have won it today. However ....................
...................... a great day for Morecambe Football Club. The right guys at the top and just as important in my opinion, a very clear sign that the new owners want success.

[KenyonTime]

Should have beaten them over 90 minutes today. Hoping for an easy win in Halifax next time around.

[Ego Tripping]

Oates injured. That’s why he went off.

[jbc.shrimp]

Seemed to be holding his abs middle of second half.

[fulwoodshrimp]

Oates went straight down the tunnel with one of the staff suggesting he did have an injury.

[Westgate Wanderer]

Hope Mandy isn't injured as he is our only creative player! Lucky to still be in this poxy potential moneyspinner of a competition! Alao, nice to see a Dad picking mom awards!!

[P/T Indie]

We could have played until xmas and still wouldn't have scored. In the first half although we were dominating you could tell we were poor in the final third and I was thinking Halifax will nick this game 1v0.

We should have brought Oswell on at halftime and tried something different.

Tad unfair. Clearance off the line straight after half time, hit the bar and one or two other near do's. Not saying we deserved to win and it was a generally stodgy performance but we didn't quite get the run of the ball second half. Halifax are limited and came to frustrate. In the end they were unlucky not to nick it.

What was going on in the Hurley Flyer? Looking out from the ground I could see a mass exodus during the game and what appeared from a distance to be handbags. Shortly afterwards Ambulances and Police arrived. What on earth were 'Radcliffe fans' doing in there?

Their game at Kendal was postponed so they came to our game. They then went to Hurley Flyer and started drinking and fighting. Not sure if we kicked them out of our ground second half. They were all coached up and sent there way by police just as the game finished. I cannot understand why certain fans want to fight, intoxicated or not.

They left after about 30 mins. They had all the footy lad gear on and looked pretty well oiled. 4 arrested i believe.

Saw 2 arrested during half time when it started kicking off as it was our stewards trying to break up the fighting (only a handful of police at that stage before backup had been called for). One of those arrested had been in a group of them kicking one of our stewards on the ground. Apparently, a load of them had been causing trouble in Lancaster city centre pubs on their way to Kendal around lunchtime.

[CityShrimp]

I agree that the game was generally pretty average. It sparked to life a bit in the second half as the space opened up, and you could say we were unlucky with numerous decent chances, but it did look at times like Halifax would nick it.

Let’s hope we can just get the job finished at the replay.

Our football this season has been good - we’ve avoided playing hoofball which is very refreshing but I think we’ve gone too far the other way and we now fanny around with the ball too much. Too often in the first half, our attacks fizzled out when we could have taken a shot or put a ball into the box much earlier. This has been a theme for most of this season.

[MFC-Manc]

Game was poor.... we had a few chances and so did Halifax...

The Radcliffe fans got on a coach and got a police escort back to Lancaster

[redrobo]

As I predicted this was n o easy game and we can be thankful to have another crack at it in a replay. They did a job on Mandy who was largely muscled out of the game. Thought Oswell should have come on earlier but surprised that Kevin was brought on who for me continued in his questionable ineffective season to date. Can't comment on their late goal but let's be thankful we've got another crack at it.

Tuesday v Sunderland should give us a look at the new lad who may just provide something a wee bit different in terms of creative play as it would appear he's good at running at defenders with the ball.

[Posh]

17 shots to 3. We easily had the best of the game but played in second gear until last 15 minutes.

Thought Liam Mandeville looked off his game today and the service from midfield only improved when Tutte came on. When service is poor AJ starts to drop deep to get the ball, which pulls us out of shape and gives us less options.

Hopefully in the replay they will come out and attack, which will give us greater space to play into.
