FA Cup match, Rochdale vs. Tottenham Hotspur

This started as a rough copy, but the signal has been gaining strength as the broadcast progresses, and is S5-S6 on the meter with local QRN affecting my reception of 16m SWBC band. Rochdale 1-0 Spurs at the half.

Had it very good on 17640 and fair on 17830.  Now good on 15400.

1707z - "Now at the edge of the 6 yard box."

Funniest line I read about FA Cup yesterday on BBC webpage; "Dear Man City, Please beat Wiggan and then Southampton.  Southampton needs to concentrate on the Premier League, no distractions. - A Saints Fan"

LOL. I'm sure City was (or will be) happy to oblige.

Ugh.....I can't believe a red card and then loss to Wigan.  Oh well, League Cup Final on Sunday :)!
