These are the guys that are going to do the job tonight and put us in the quarter finals.

l

approved. as aggressive and attacking as it could be, I reckon. strong bench. IHWT, UTM!

Yes, can’t fault that, pleased Hunt kept his place

Are Southampton playing a strong team? There are a few names I recognise but I don’t know if they are still first team players

Good coverage on itv.

Have just backed Town to win  3 - 2  -  got 100 - 1     My confidence is growing by the minute.

Quoted from Marinerdan

Are Southampton playing a strong team? There are a few names I recognise but I don’t know if they are still first team players

Nope, 9 changes👍

Did not know that if we win we make FAC history.  Only club to beat 5 teams from higher leagues in the same cup- run.  According to ITV4 anyway.

(Plus beating 3 higher-placed teams in the playoffs).

Quoted from Marinerdan

Are Southampton playing a strong team? There are a few names I recognise but I don’t know if they are still first team players

There isn’t that much difference between their first team and squad players. Apart from Ward-Prowse and Bella-Kotchap are key and on the bench. Bazunu ‘rested’ but probably dropped in reality. The two new forwards aren’t in the squad but they’re not definitely first choice (Sulemana & Onuachu). Maitland-Niles on the bench but again, not a definite first choice.

Quoted from supertown

Nope, 9 changes👍

They should still be good enough to beat us.

BUT

This is the FA.Cup and we can be winning this .

Come on you Mariners !!!

(groupwave)(groupwave1)(groupwave)

Let’s make FA Ducking Cup history flipping COME ON TOWN UTFM

Ruben Selles looks like he should be running a cash-only tapas joint in Lincoln. Definitely keeps the tips for himself.
Troncmaster.

UTFM Offshore so taking over the TV lounge....

BBC Sports news bulletin earlier sensationalising that Town haven’t been this far in the Cup this century. Whilst true, it would have been more kind to say since 1996.

It’s basically the lazy equivalent of saying I haven’t nibbled on my Mum’s nipple this century!!

This is arguably a stronger team than they’ve been playing in the league. I wouldn’t read too much into the ‘9’ changes.

Any team without Ward-Prowse in it is good for us.  The number of freekicks we give away in dangerous areas.

Interesting stat about James Ward-Prowse on ITV; if he’d have been born 20 years earlier he’d have over 100 England caps, be married to Emma Bunton and have a history of tax avoidance second only to Wesley Snipes.

Looking at the shots of our fans on the TV, all I can say is they look bloody fantastic. A credit to the club, the town and mostly themselves.

flipping come on!

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

Perraud ain’t bad from set pieces. Obviously no JWP but a decent deputy.

C'mon Town!!

Nice from Waterfall. He knew Mara was offside so thought he’d give Max an early save for extra confidence. Big man hunks.

We sound ace on the TV come on town

Adam Armstrong runs like a butt-plugged centaur.

10 mins gone and were holding our own on the pitch. I the stands we've sung the saints out of sight.

Here we come. Got through the first ten now we’ve morphed into Denmark ‘86.

Efete the Michael Laudrup maestro.

Decent phase of play for us there.

We're looking good at the moment, their defence if definitely iffy.

Oh my god you travelling fans. Please don’t stop that atmosphere, it’s coming through the speakers so intimidating . A thing of beauty!

20 minutes gone and Southampton definitely ahead on daft haircuts.

For me personally, it feels absolutely luxurious to have Ally McCoist commenting on a Town match.

Not doing too bad so far.

Commentators really impressed with our away support.

Town starting to look composed

Quoted from Mayaman

Town starting to look composed

More composed than me. Feel sick.

The longer the game goes on I can see a Town win. We're catching them and their defence is definitely suspect.

McAtee focus focus

Commentary really gushing over long throws like it's something never seen since Rory Delap.

Woah Hunty😛

That Hunt tackle looked bad but in slo mo, it wasn't so bad.  Studs up a bit but he got the ball.

Ave it premier league boy!

Good physicality from Maher.

Over a third of the game gone and we're holding our own.

Diving cûnt Djenepo.

Dje-nepo baby.

That was handball by Lyanco.

We’ll miss it though!!

This is ridiculous. Emmanuel was a good yard onside - at least.

Must be a pen. Obvious.

What on earth is he looking at. It’s blatant.

Now, I am nervous

Isn't VAR good. Peno to us

Yesssssssss

Quoted from denni266

Yesssssssss

I love you denni. I’ve never told you that until now.

Hows it going   8)

Goal Holohan

Goal Holohan

I fuckingloveVAR

;)

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

I love you denni. I’ve never told you that until now.

HT...Southampton 0-1 Town

Get in

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

I love you denni. I’ve never told you that until now.

;)

The VAR ref must have sneaked off for an early half time todd and had to sprint back with his pants around his ankles. Can’t see any other way it took that long to make the decision!

Doing is proud whatever happens

"Great scenes. There's inflatable haddock everywhere." Ally McCoist.

When you have to turn the commentators up because the away crowd is drowning them out its already a good game.

Easy decision for the pen how it took VAR and the ref that long I don't know.

I don't think I can watch another 45min with us in the lead, my heart can't take it.

We've got this. We have!

Gulp!

Town are holding and doing well, Southampton are good at going forward but not clinical enough.

C,Mon Town!

Hunt would never have got a red.  He looks like a choir boy.

Or a smiling assassin.

Southampton will be throwing the big guns on soon enough, James Ward-Prowse, Theo Walcott, Matt Le Tissier.

Great atmosphere here, non stop chanting. Wonder what the Saint fans think of our support?
Looked like it was a bit effortless for Southamptonn in the first 20 mins, then we got into the game and haven't looked back!!

McAtee nearly on to a very good chance for another goal.  

At the game. Took an age to give it but got there at the end. Couldn't see what happened from the other end but when it came up on the screen, OMG. Queue pandemonium, ended tup five rows forward!

We are coping with them so far, looking composed. Max hasn't got had that much to deal with.

Atmosphere in the away end mental, as it was in the city centre.  20 walk to the stadium never saw a red scarf.

Come on Town

Must say I thought the penalty decision looked a bit harsh but we have had plenty of harsh decisions given against us.

HT.  1- 0 would you dream it ?

Come on Town we can do this just don't do any silly tackles on the edge of the box because you know who is bound to come on and take it.

We did it in the playoffs, we can do it in the fifth round of the FA Cup never say die! UTM

I expect 45 minutes of shithousery now. Going down clutching heads, niggles and Crocombe getting the physio on for cramp.

Should be a red card.

You can’t just hit someone. Orsi’s made a meal of it but…

Yesssssss again

8)

What is the Southampton player doing? The idiot

Why hasn’t Gav been on pens all season!!

HOLOHAN!!!!

2-0  going through well done Holohan again

Great penalty that was

It's gonna me a long half

We can Dream, we can Dream but it's coming true.

I don’t think I’ve been this much of a sweaty, nervous mess since I last tried to get to the bar in Baton Rouge.

Anyone feeling really, really sick?

Please Hurst don't bring on Morris. Drop Harry deeper if Hunt has to come off and bring on Khan or Taylor instead please

Quoted from mariner91

Anyone feeling really, really sick?

I’d almost…almost…rather be 5-0 down!!

Nearly got a third.

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

I’d almost…almost…rather be 5-0 down!!

Would be better for my blood pressure for sure.

Terrible defending fs

Sh!t 2-1

Unmarked man again.

Jesus.  So much time. An even longer second half.

Do we have to be braver?

Squeaky bum time

Awful marking, We'll lose this 3-2, too much time left and they're bringing on all their better players.

Quoted from Mayaman

It's gonna be a long half

Even longer now.

The clock is getting slower and slower.

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

The clock is getting slower and slower.

But our fans are getting louder and louder.

Quoted from Knut Anders Fosters Voles

The clock is getting slower and slower.

Put a new battery in.

immense challenge from Waterfall!

We haven't had a corner yet.

Has to score there

McAtee had to score the ln

What was McAtee doing, a shot at least? Should be 3 -1

Theo’s offside.

Offside

VAR is a wonderful thing

I’m going to have to turn the tv off. It’s either that or a massive aneurysm.

Yeessss.   There's only one VAR!

Yes is'nt VAR brilliant.

VAR is our friend today, how greatful we should be for having it this game, still don't agree with it in general though.

We need to relieve the pressure.  

8 mins of agony

Our fans are just brilliant

Is it time for max to get cramp?

I can't handle ET.  BP thru the roof.

Quoted from bobbyturtle

Is it time for max to get cramp?

Effete right on cue!

Hahahahaba fs

Quoted from bobbyturtle

Is it time for max to get cramp?

Yes   8)

6 minutes added time

6 minutes?

Come on Max, take your time here. And a double legged cramp would help.

Mariners mariners

Hahaha come on max

6 minutes is fair, but the 4th official can intercourse off  ;D

So proud of the lads come on town hold on

Crocombe excrement housery 🐟👌

Khouri having a decent want

God I love Max

MOM Holohan, a deserved case

Omg yesssss

What a result that is 😎

Quoted from Mayaman

Khouri having a decent want

I can't type

Brilliant win

What a result, get in

Easy.

Rested Clifton for Carlisle too it was that simple.

Wow just wow

Just let it sink in - we are in the quarter finals of the FA cup 😎

YESS next round, please.

Get in!!!!!

Does anybody know the gate and away

Man Poo was 1-0 down

Thats the biggest win in my 31 year lifetime, quarter finals??????? Wow.

I love this team. Absolutely sensational

What's all the fuss about? It's only been 84 years.

Seriously, well done my fishy friends. I was kicking every ball with you for the final minutes. You've been through a rough few years but nights like tonight make it all worth while.

Now 84 years ago you made the semi-final; you couldn't could you?

Yessss yes yes yes yes yes yes

YEsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss well done Town Wemberleeeee Wemberleeeee

Fantastic, I've followed Town for over 40 years and this stands out as one of the top moments.

Emmanuel looked like a premier league player on the swap to give us a chance, what’s strange game football is

Be prepared for the media frenzy! We are town! Get in there you absolutely beautiful team

Wow. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

👏

Unbelievable Jeff

Well done lads,an excellent result and an enjoyable game to watch,thought that you had blew it when the second Southampton goal went in but a great result in the end,what a fantastic couple of seasons you are having

How much do we get for the win tonight?

Orsi’s moving quite freely given his fractured spine.

What a (minor) legend.

Going to remember that one for a long time. Real battling performance against a young but athletic and technically gifted side who had a ton of possession. After the second rather foolish penalty was given away the veteran players came on and they got back into it. Thank god we had VAR available for the tightest of offsides to deny and equaliser.

Dreamland

1 off Wembley

Europe beckons

Cup record over 150 years. 5 wins against higher league teams

In 9 months we won 9 matches and drew 1 against teams in higher league positions. Unmatched achievements

Just went to get another beer out of the fridge and went down with the Crocombe Cramp!

Brilliant result, but I don't think it was anywhere near our best Cup performance this season. Didn't need to be against a very uninspired Southampton team, despite the goals disallowed by VAR. If I was a betting man, I'd have my money on them going down this season.

Quoted from Chalky

Well done lads,an excellent result and an enjoyable game to watch,thought that you had blew it when the second Southampton goal went in but a great result in the end,what a fantastic couple of seasons you are having

Thank you Chalky hope we play you next year.

Well what an absolute idiot I feel for not going!!!!

What a game both players and fans were unbelievable !!!!!!

One game from Wembley  8)

We are the nation's favourite now  ;D

UN-flipping-BELIEVABLE Jeff!!!
#UTFMM!!!

Just fantastic, what a result!!
Brilliant from the whole team & those superb fans there tonight 👏👏👏

And how much more media coverage are we going to get on the back of that win, and before the next FA Cup match, wherever it may be.

May even get more interest from people wanting to invest in the club.

Who knows!

Absolutely marvelous. How I love VAR

Run out of Guinness, 2nd bottle of Red. Enjoy the good times, they're back with 1878 and HURSTY.

I'm sat in front of theTV in tears!

The new Southampton manager thought it would be a cake walk and, fatally, undersetimated Town. He clearly had no idea about the FA Cup and the shocks it produces. Saints were rubbish and desaeved to lose. My grandson is heartbroken, poor lad. He cannot believe what’s happened. Well done to the heroes of GTFC and how correct Jason’s article was in the Guardian this morning.

Ally McCoist gone up in my estimation, nothing but praise from him

I wish all of those magnificent 4000+ fans an ecstatic and safe journey home. God bless you all.

Taylors was immense when he came on.

His bulk set up the chance for McAtees.

Well done to each and every one of those fans there! You were incredible! Sounded immense

Two hours before I get up for work. How the hell can I sleep?  When's the draw?    Our Gav's gonna be all over the papers in Ireland tomorrow.

Gav should be taking all penalties now.

Backdated to last Sat!

Quoted from supertown

Ally McCoist gone up in my estimation, nothing but praise from him

Absolutely agree. He commentated the game as it was and gave Southampton no graces

I was pleased to hear what Gav said to the cameras that it was a community club for the fans. Well done Gav, as it shows the ethos of 1878 throughout the club.

We are Town, we are one.

Wow, wow, that's all I can say.  UTM!

Congratulations Mariners from Wales. Enjoy your success . Hope you oget a good draw

Quoted from supertown

Ally McCoist gone up in my estimation, nothing but praise from him

He’s always been wonderful, and I genuinely mean that. Particularly good tonight.

Town colours on Helvellyn tomorrow. How can I fail to mark the occasion when one of my old students played his heart out for my team.

Salute Craig Pawson!

En route to Carlisle.

Last eight of THE Cup wow just wow. Never thought to see it, the team was great tonight and the fans who went a different class wow wow wow !!!!!

Quoted from Heisenberg

He’s always been wonderful, and I genuinely mean that. Particularly good tonight.

Does Ally have any history with us? I heard on commentary about our fans loving him but not sure if there's any substance to it

Anyone know the attendance? Can’t find it anywhere

Quoted from Heisenberg

Well what an absolute idiot I feel for not going!!!!

Was that because of your uncertainty principle?

Last time we beat Southampton was 1962 (ohmy) >> https://www.11v11.com/teams/grimsby-town/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Southampton/

Probably looking at around 1m+ for the next game.
Tried my hardest for a swap today and couldn't get it even when I finished driving would of cut it short. Hate missing town games as it is but must admit sunk just under two crates watching the match, Thought we would of put 11 behind the ball after the 2nd but Hurst is a funny little sodomist. Please just get behind him. I was never his biggest fan the first spell but didn't realise what was going on behind the scenes. This man does love the club through and through and will be here through the good and the excrement.The League was a learning curve this year. Hurst will release 7 or 8 players and replace them. Hurst builds squads not 11's. Watch this comment a year from now when we are sitting in the playoffs.

Quoted from denni266

£225,000 plus tv money and gate money   Good night all round

My brother sent me a message saying 'Thank God for VAR.'

I replied 'Thank God for Gav!'

Total legend.
