What a cupset that is

It is....and yet for at least 30 years I've believed the only real cup upsets are when a lower league club beat one of the 'Sky 5/6". Imo Ipswich (22nd) winning away at Liverpool would be a bigger shock than Ipswich losing at home to Maidstone.

Disagree with that. Maidstone aren't even professional footballers, they're semi-professional

What was the disaprity between Newcastle and Hereford?

Hereford were elected to the 4th division at the end of the season (having finished 2nd in the 5th tier Southerm League), replacing an unfortunate Barrow who had finished several points ahead of Crewe and Stockport. 

There had been about 3 postponements leading up to the game at Hereford. It had been a one-sided game on a hideously muddy pitch until Radford equalised a couple of minutes from the end of the game. They scored a second in extra time.

Perhaps I exaggerated slightly. However, Maidstone beating Ipswich changes the destination of the Cup not one iota while Ipswich defeating Liverpool very much could.

Cracking cup match that. Our lass wasn't impressed like but good choice for live TV. Thought elokobi spoke really well before and after the game. Seems a great bloke, actually thought he was at Ipswich for some reason and their fans clapping him pre match reinforced it. Turns out it was forest he went to ha
