Seaneh

I actually shouted at the telly just now!

Get ****ing in there!

RikkFlair

Great header, great goal....mad celebrations!

Melion

Why are the AFC players wearing armbands with their nicknames on it?

Captain Havoc

Great header. Great to see the Wimbledon fans going mad, FA will probably whip out a fine though, killjoys.

Mr.Crinklewood

Thought the booking was harsh.

Very harsh but it could be seen as inciting the crowd, absolutely ridiculous considering the conditions behind this match.

It would be more ridiculous not to book him due to the conditions behind the match though.

We've had players booked (and sent off) for celebrating with the fans without actually leaving the pitch before (small grounds). It's the rule that needs to be changed.

Ah, the joys of FA Cup traditions. We even got a good, old-fashioned back-pass!

Turtyturd

Jesus, Alan Smith's looking rough.

Alan smith, jaysus!

It's not a great game really, apart from the 2 goals. They were the only real highlights so far.

Boooommmmm, justice.

Melion

Ugh, sickening. I liked him at underage for Liverpool too

Sgt Pepper 64

Yessssssssssssssssssssss
You could see that coming

Turtyturd

Should have been a free out.

Sgt Pepper 64

what a cheeky back heel

Seaneh

Gutted. He hadn't a clue what he was doing. Total fluke.

BhoscaCapall

Hope they smash the place up tbh

Why are people shouting for MK dons? Just curious

Those getting beat by a franchise chants are cringeworthy.

Exactly this tbh. Whenever things like this happen you get attention seekers who will cheer on the overwhelmingly unpopular choice. I imagine most of these people are angsty 15 year olds.

I can't believe any real football fan would cheer for that franchise of a club.

Indeed, shame on all those Yanks and Australians.

BhoscaCapall

In fairness if you were an actual MK fan you would be f***ing loving it right now. Last minute goal, back-heel chip over the keeper.

I'm going to save all the "sad day for real football fans" stuff because the teams are a division apart and MK were heavy favourites really, so to almost force a replay is commendable for Wimbledon.

Remember yer a Womble

Captain Havoc

That goal was total jam.

Hilarious all the barstoolers who were cheering for AFC today.

So people should have no interest in games that don't involve their team?

Jog on ya numpty.

No its the irony of the situation. The majority of the Irish footballing public represent exactly what is wrong with modern football.

Their support of British franchise brands like Man Utd and Celtic is the antithesis of what AFC represent. AFC represent their locality. Irish football fans don't.

No actually. If you bothered to read.
I actually used to live there and went to many matches, even before Milton Keynes came into existence.
Another guy's dad has been following them for years.
I find it strange that irish fans have such strong opinions for AFC, just because they are an underdog it seems, but then I find it strange that many irish fans follow cross channel teams they have no connection with other than they won something like Utd

Their support of Celtic and Man Utd is as plastic as that of any MK Dons fans.

lol, you're too late really. Would have got a much better reaction if you got your speak in before the game was played today...

Wanting a team to win one match =/= being a supporter of that team.

The real Wimbledon can stand tall and proud dispite the loss. Just a shame they just missed the chance of a second go at Kingsmeadow.

In Kingston On Thames, when are they ever going to get back to Merton? I would hold that horrible council as liable as the League and MK in the decision to move.

Well a move back to Plough Lane is out considering its now all flats. I wouldn't totally blame Merton council. Didn't they press MK to change there crest as it bared bits of Merton Boroughs crest, as did the original Wimbledon FC crest.

As a move back to Merton its self, Wimbledon have never hid their desire to make the move some day, although cant think of many already built structures bar the Greyhound track down the road from the old Plough Lane, which has already been ruled out, and would still need aditional work to bring it up to a football stadium. As for a new build, unless the club comes into some serious cash, or the council contributes. They will be at Kingsmeadow for a while yet.

Dozen Wicked Words

They may have objected to part of the borough crest featuring on MKs badge but they were definitely anti football and I would think the objection was an attempt to rewrite their part in it all.

As someone who lived in Milton Keynes and attended a number of games, I think its past time they dropped the Dons part of the name now, theres really no connection left, I think all the original players have long left as well.

Should Arsenal drop the "Arsenal" part of their name? Since they have little connection left to the team that started in Woolwich Arsenal.
