Correct Tim,


BBC


With a crowd of only 6,378 at the 33,000-capacity Cardiff City Stadium, the hosts had the better chances in a scrappy first half.

Mansfield had a golden chance to score after the break when Lee Angol's close-range shot was saved by Brian Murphy.

The Stags, who last reached the fourth round in 2008, will host Cardiff in a replay in the week starting 15 January.

It is safe to say Cardiff - FA Cup runners-up in 2008 and winners in 1927 - have not been charmed by the old romance of this competition in recent seasons.

This was the fourth year in succession they had been drawn at home in the third round and the previous attendances were dire: 5,199 against Fulham in 2017, 4,782 against Shrewsbury in 2016 and 4,194 against Colchester in 2015 - a record low for football games at the Cardiff City Stadium.

They didn’t stop from start to finish, where as our fans weren’t particularly interested in singing. I sang a few song songs on my own, but it was pretty pointless. Well done Mansfield!

Looking at their forum, it was s big day out for a parochial club that most of the UK couldn't point to on a map. I imagine their comedy Babs mini-bus mob are now back up there, claiming a scalp and then back on the Spice to forget their real worlds.
