Well done lads, into the draw for the next round.
Looked good passing the ball around nicely.

Who the hell is Ashmore?!

[oneedham]

Quality lads. Watched in Lisbon.

Hulme wasn't in the game. Peers caused them problems and got a well deserved goal.

James Jones and Hemmings both looked quality on TV.

Great saves by Thompson.

Keep playing in the red and white.

It was a case of being patient and wearing Halesowen down. Fair play to them though, their heads didn't drop. Ash and James Jones were superb and Sean Williams added some more urgency to the midfield when he came on. Come on you reds!

Solid performance against a decent Halesowen side.
I thought Willow was very good when he came on
Onwards and upwards

Who the hell is Ashmore?!

Ashmore was the Halesowen number 12 who apparently came on for Richman

Our CF was a bloke called Hullm apparently.

Very much a job done kind of day. It was Halesowen’s cup final so it was always going to be a tough day but we opened them up throughout whereas their best chances were set pieces and long rangers. 2-0 for me a fair reflection & now to see who we get on Monday. On a side note for that level that’s an excellent ground & the local pubs superb too. If only they had a train station in the town.

My MOM was "Jamie Jones". The BBC thanked Flynny for giving them background on our team - Flynn out !

[Toff Apple]

Thought Danny Whittaker was good though.

FYI....that wasn't part of the information that I supplied to the BBC.
I'm fairly sure that James Jones was referred to as  'Jamie' during his very early days with us, therefore it is possible that his real name is 'Jamie' i.e. what is on his birth certificate.

James Lawrie was also referred to as 'Jamie' during his early weeks at the club but that changed fairly quickly, therefore perhaps his real name is also 'Jamie'.

Brian,

At varying times during the match we had Jamie Johnson, Jamie Jones, Sean Williams was consistently referred to as Ashmore and Densmore was often called Jonhson even when JJ had swapped wings to the other side and was nowhere near the incident!  I don't think it was your info that was the issue or that the commentator did his own research on James' birth certificate - it is more likely he didn't do enough homework.  Commentary was also noticeably worse than almost all our Radio Robins guys.  He refused to interrupt his own anecdotes and stats about what the clubs have achieved decades ago to make any comment when chances were created mid-story.  I thought he was very poor.

Agreed. As ever the BBC came across 2nd rate as if the coverage was just tokenism.

[brisbane_alty]

Is there a link anywhere to watch the game? I was flying from LAX to Brisbane on Saturday hence was unable to watch live. I can’t get BBC iPlayer to work here, so looking for something on YouTube or similar. Such as Alty TV!

[Fairfield Alty]

Was at the game but recorded it and to be honest the commentary was dire.
Referring to Sean Williams as Ashmore was I presume confusing the two number
twelves but it wasn't corrected as the game went on. Probably not helped by the
fact that the commentary team were apparently not at the game but back at
headquarters at Salford Quays. Otherwise a good day out and a great result.
