Blythe vs Blackburn

I watched it on Setanta last night, very scrappy game, but I thought Blyth played very well to say they had Premiership opposition.

I wouldn't call Blackburn's reserve side Premiership opposition, but yes, Blyth haven't shamed themselves.

Pity their cup run isn't showing in the league, they're second bottom in Blue Square North.

What cup run?
They've beaten mostly teams that are in the same league, or lower.

So getting to the 3rd round proper as a team from the 6th tier of English football, going through about 5 rounds, isn't a cup run? Beating Shrewsbury and Bournemouth from League 2 isn't a cup run? Fair enough.
