All Our Own Work v Rendezvous Gold Dust v Fotheringay 2 Like an Old Fashioned Waltz v Sandy - What a draw - my two favourites meet up in the first round! This one went to penalties & Sandy wins thanks to the stronger selection of bonus tracks on the remastered CDs. However GubGub Quote The last one is a devil! I think John The Gun just taps in for a winner while the last one is, undoubtedly a devil, John the Gun shouldn't have been on the pitch as he can be found on the North Star Grassman.

All Our Own Work v Rendezvous Gold Dust v Fotheringay 2 Like an Old Fashioned Waltz v Sandy Match one would have made a cracking final. Gold Dust is irresistable having seen her on that last tour. Title: Re: Sandy FA Cup Post by: Andy Tuck on July 22, 2010, 07:13:09 PM One match gone to a recount, will post next round asap.
Also, last entry after final whistle went, but don't think it will make a difference. Title: Re: Sandy FA Cup Post by: PLW (Peter) on July 22, 2010, 07:15:48 PM One match gone to a recount, will post next round asap. Also, last entry after final whistle went, but don't think it will make a difference. No, it was an extended period of injury time due to excessive behaviour from the Welsh striker, John the Gun. Title: Re: Sandy FA Cup Post by: Andy Tuck on July 22, 2010, 07:22:40 PM As suspected what would have made a great final was very close. I counted draws as 0-0.

Rendezvous v North Star Grassman & The Ravens Title: Re: Sandy FA Cup Post by: Andy Tuck on July 23, 2010, 05:23:09 AM As the referee for this one I've decided to step in now to stop further punishment on two of the teams. When I drew the semis I thought it looked a bit pointless.
So the final is: North Star Grassman & The Ravens v Sandy Final whistle Saturday noon. Title: Re: Sandy FA Cup Post by: Nigel no longer of Lysander on July 23, 2010, 08:07:56 AM Sandy v Fotheringay 2

Two top teams - The Quiet Joys of Brotherhood nearly pulled it off for Sandy, but the consistency and overall firepower of North Star won the day. Title: Re: Sandy FA Cup Post by: Jules Gray on July 23, 2010, 01:42:29 PM I'm genuinely surprised by how many of you prefer North Star Grassman. I had always assumed most folks agreed Sandy was her solo masterpiece.

I've been thinking about this matchup since the first round. Every time I consider it, I come up with a different answer. Time to get off the fence ...

I had always assumed most folks agreed Sandy was her solo masterpiece. Jules It came down to how many songs from each would I put on my personal best of Sandy compilation. That turned out to be three in both cases so I had figure out which of those was my absolute favourite. JTG seems stirring and indestructible in any performance of it I have ever heard so that was the clincher for me.

It came down to NSGR (the song) having that 'shiver down the spine' factor which has made it a favourite of mine for over 20 years since I first heard it.

JTG seems stirring and indestructible in any performance of it I have ever heard so that was the clincher for me. With me that'd be 2 from North Star - Late November and Blackwaterside; and 4 from Sandy - It'll Take A Long Time, Sweet Rosemary, Listen Listen and It Suits Me Well.
