After Newport v Middlesbrough and West Brom v Brighton were picked by BBC and BT Sport, fans took to Twitter to give their reaction…
Every single other tie is more appealing than that!

Wolves v Shrewsbury instead of West Brom v Brighton? That would be a better tie to watch for the neutral imo.

The reaction on those tv picks continued…
Worst game you could of picked especially with 2 non league teams having replays boring

TV Exec meeting
So one game was a drab goalless affair and the other was a rollrcoaster six goal thriller.
And which one should we choose for the replay to show live?
No-one else would have made the choice they have made#FACup

The TV companies have chosen their live #FACup 4th Rd replays@btsport – @NewportCounty v @Boro @BBCMOTD – @WBA v @OfficialBHAFC
Neither have chosen @BarnetFC after last night's game … you have to wonder what goes through their minds?
It's the FA Cup, they keep telling us

@BBCSport you had a choice of showing the replay of the tie of the round, or the replay of the game so poor you didn't even include it on your running order graphic on #MOTD. Having seen your choice I can only conclude @prodnose is spot on re your #FACup coverage.
