FA Cup 2nd round replay: Cardiff City 1 Bury 0 (aet)
BURY'S FA Cup hopes ground to a halt in the final minute of extra time at Ninian Park when Mike Ford headed home for the Bluebirds.
It was Ford's first goal in two years and yet again from a badly defended corner.
The financial implications of this defeat for Bury are terrible.
The game at Cardiff was devoid of any entertainment value, the only goal attempt of any merit being from a free kick when skipper Nicky Daws, surely now a sacrificial victim in the transfer market, hit the post.
A financial lifeline of a tie against arch enemies Bolton was lost, and the future of this Bury is under an enormous cloud.
