19 years ago today: The Second Vauxhall Motors game. Amazing. In the cup, teams sometimes get a shock result (as QPR fans know). But usually when big clubs play the smaller club a second time, especially if at home, they don't mistake.

OK, but this happens in a cup. They grab a draw. But in the replay, QPR will crush them!

Vauxhall Motors held Second Division Queens Park Rangers to a goalless draw in the FA Cup first round, although they had the chances to produce a shock win.
The non-league outfit came close on several occasions but could not manage the all-important first goal.
Nicky Young drilled in a right-footed effort that flashed wide, while Carl Nesbitt had a shot blocked by Tommy Williams.
Marc Bircham squandered a decent opportunity for Rangers, but Andy Ralph made a good save in the home goal, while Dennis Oli shot over when well-placed.
Steve Aspinall fired over for Vauxhall just before the break, before Steve Palmer shot wide from just outside the area.
Rangers were forced into a change just before the hour when Oli was replaced by Kevin Gallen with what looked to be a serious injury.
Vauxhall Motors: Rolph, Collins, McDermott, Brazier, Haddrell, Lawton, Aspinall, Nesbitt, Young, Fearns, Cumiskey. Subs: Thompson, Hogg, Lynch, Derek Ward, Welton.

The two sides will meet again for a replay at Loftus Road on Tuesday November 26 after it ended goalless at the Deva Stadium.
With Rangers unable to break down the home side despite dominating possession and chances in the second half, the game heads to a replay. The positive news for Rangers is the return of Kevin Gallen who came through 30 minutes of second half action.
The big team news before this clash was the inclusion of Kevin Gallen on the substitute's bench following his spell out with a hamstring injury.
Rs boss Ian Holloway also put Terrell Forbes on the bench, opting for Ollie Burgess on the right hand side.
There were few clearcut chances in the first half. Andy Thomson twice broke clear of the last man in the opening minutes but his first effort flew wide and the second scrambled away for a corner. Karl Connolly also had an effort go just fractionally wide of the upright following a curling left-foot shot from the edge of the area.
Rangers didn't have it all their own way. Twice the home side looked to capitalise on confusion in the Rs area. Nicky Young drove a shot across Fraser Digby's goal and Clarke Carlisle stuck out a leg to deflect Carl Nesbitt's shot wide when it looked to be heading for the bottom corner.
After the break, Forbes came off the bench to replace Matthew Rose as Holloway juggled his pack. The move certainly prevented the home side from creating any clearcut chances in the opening 20 minutes of the second half, while at the other end the chances continued to come.
Althougth Rangers were having the better of the game in terms of possession and chances, they still didn't create many clear openings - more half chances. Dennis Oli saw a good appeal for a penalty turned down when he burst into the box and Steve Palmer saw a left-foot effort drift wide of the post.
Midway through the half Dennis Oli went down clutching his thigh and had to be stretchered from the field and that marked the arrival of Kevin Gallen and his first touch of the ball saw him drive low at keeper Andy Ralph.
As was the case with the first half, Rangers were't having it all their own way particularly during a frantic spell which saw the home side force six corners in a row.
Rangers threw everything forward in the final 15 minutes and three goalmouth scrambles saw chances for Thomson, Gallen and Dan shiteeeeeeetu but none could deflect the ball or toe-poke it goalwards.
With time running out, Vauxhall had one of the most clearcut chances of the game. A deep corner was only half dealt with by Rangers and the ball back in picked out Nicky Young, but he mishiteeeeeee his shot wide.
