    • 2-0 Jacobson scores for Rovers.
    • 1-0 Bullard for Fulham - miss!!! A good height for the keeper.
    • 1-0 Rovers score. Lines
    • PEN Penalties at the Fulham end!
    • 120 THERE IS THE FINAL WHISTLE - we will have penalties.
    • 118' Red card for Stefanovic for a second bookable offence and Rovers will have a free around 30-yards out. Free curled over the bar.
    • 117' The clock is ticking on now - but still no goal - Rovers have a corner now though - can they nick it - NEARLY but a Coles header is cleared off the line !!
    • 110' Jimmy Bullard is nearly played in but he can't get a proper foot on a flicked header and we move closer still to penalties.
    • 105' And there is the half-time whistle in extra-time - still no breakthrough.
    • 101' Great save by Phillips to deny Dempsey and Healy then puts another chance over - a bit more open the game now.
    • 97' Williams now makes way as Rigg comes on.
    • 95' A long ball over the top and it looked as if Williams was going to be clear through for Rovers but he was just so tired and Fulham were able to get back and clear.
    • 91' And we are underway here in the extra-time period.
    • FT And there is the full-time whistle - a poor match but we will have another half-an-hour of action. Extra-time coming up.
    • 88' Cramp effecting some players in these closing moments but there may well be another half and hour for the players to worry about.
    • 82' Bristol pressing late here in this match - from a corner the ball fell to Lines at the back post he got a shot on target but Bullard was there to clear off the line.
    • 75' It is hard to know whether to commend or condemn Fulham for passing the ball around - another good move has quite literally come unstuck as Dempsey's lay off gets stuck in the mud.
    • 68' We would love to tell you about lots of action here but there really is nothing of note happening. Do Fulham really want to run the risk of having to go through a penalty shoot-out.
    • 59' Very good save by Phillips as he saves a decent volley from Healy - best moment of the half so far.
    • 53' Rovers have a couple of shots as the ball bounces around the area but they are both blocked before reacing Warner.
    • 50' This game really needs a goal - Volz has just fired over from 30 yards but it goes well over. Poor stuff.
    • 46' And we are back underway here in Bristol.
    • HT There is the half-time whistle - still very even and up for grabs.
    • 40' Rovers have just missed the best chance of the match so far - Warner with a great save to deny Pipe who was set up by a Lines cross - he should have done better but a really good save.
    • 36' Bristol have just a free kick in a decent area - they maybe should have gone for a shot but Lines decides to cross instead and Fulham defend with ease.
    • 35' Still very few chances at either end - Fulham looking the better side but there isn't a big gap and it is still very much up for grabs.
    • 31' Rovers are just enjoying a little spell of pressure now as they start to peg Fulham back.
    • 25' Fulham have a spell of passing which can't be easy to do in these conditions - unfortunatly for them they can't do anything in the final third. Rovers look happy to sit back and try and catch the visitors on the break.
    • 22' Meanwhile Bristol have been forced to make a change - a serious injury to Steve Elliott who was down for a long time and Craig Disley comes on.
    • 18' Jimmy Bullard gets his head on a corner and it is really well saved by Phillips.
    • 10' Scrappy start to this match but Rovers are giving as good as they are getting at the moment.
    • 4' Fulham are passing the ball around early on despite the awful conditions.
    • 1' Welcome to Memorial Stadium for this FA Cup replay - we have just got underway and I can tell you the pitch is VERY muddy.
