Derby County v Chelsea, FA Cup third round: live 90+2 min Steve McClaren and Jose Mourinho chatting about the game like a couple of dads on the touchline at a youth match. All handshakes and hugs with time still to play. Wait... I think they're going to kiss... 90 min We're going to have three extra minutes. Will Hughes is fouled by Luiz on the corner of the box but Marriner waves play on. Derby come again, Cole heads behind at the back post. Creditable finish from the home side. 89 min Chance for Chelsea to add a third with a late corner, taken by Willian... Torres almost brings it down at the back post but is robbed of the ball, then Ramires crosses straight to Grant. 87 min Oscar, after a great shift, goes off for young Lewis Baker to come on and make his debut. 86 min Late rally here from the home team. Mason Bennett, off the bench, pokes an improvised shot wide after Wisdom's cross deflects to him on the edge of the area. 84 min As close as Derby have come. Sammon's reverse ball gets Martin running away from goal in the area - he still gets a shot away which seems to surprise Schwarzer somewhat and the veteran Australian goalkeeper just about manages to scramble it behind. 79 min Ramires stays on his feet long enough to get a shot away that deflects over Grant and onto the top of the bar. The corner is worked short to Luiz who shoots first time and hits Martin with the ball. 77 min Cue the Fernando Torres circus music... The Spanish striker waltzes around Grant but when faced with an open goal he somehow contrives to bundle into Buxton and lose the shooting chance. Moments later he's in again and although the low shot is much crisper and more purposeful Grant is equal to it. 76 min Sunderland 3 Carlisle 1 (Ba 90 min) The Mackems also through it would seem. Kidderminster or Peterborough await in round four. 75 min Steve McClaren has finally abandoned his animated telephone conversation at the back of the stand and come down to the touchline. He's also thrown on striker Connor Sammon. Sadly the horse from this now-closed stable has not only bolted, it's enjoyed a long and successful jump racing career, a stud retirement, and been turned into glue. Derby County 0 CHELSEA 2 (Oscar 71 min) Game over. Oscar gets reward for his afternoon of physical punishment by lashing in at the near post after picking the ball up from a throw in. Goalkeeper Lee Grant won't want to see it again. 68 min Andre Marriner shows Ramires a yellow card for diving in the penalty area. He has as well, pathetic attempt to con a spot kick from the official. It's Chelsea's second booking for 'simulation' in as many games following Oscar's Oscar nominated attempt at Southampton. Marriner is, of course, the same referee who Ramires conned into awarding a last second penalty at Stamford Bridge against West Brom earlier this season. 67 min Chelsea fans sing "he scores when he wants" - which isn't very often as it turns out. That's Mikel's fourth goal for the club on his 300th appearance - three of them have come in the FA Cup. Derby County 0 CHELSEA 1 (John Obi Mikel 65 min) Well, Derby didn't learn did they? Another free kick, conceded by Jamie Ward, and this time the delivery is absolutely spot on from Willian. Mikel flicks the inswinging cross at the near post and the ball flies into the far corner. Undefendable once delivered, but County would do well to stop conceding so many set pieces in dangerous areas. 64 min Another Chelsea free kick, Buxton's turn to batter Oscar this time. They work it shot and Martin bravely blocks Willian's shot from the edge of the area. 63 min Eto'o heads for the bath having contributed nothing. Torres arrives to a chorus of "what a waste of money." Not clear which set of fans are doing the singing there. 60 min Derby now not helping their cause by conceding a series of free kicks. Luiz is certainly looking for the latest one, collapsing to earth as if hit by a sniper in the crowd as Chris Martin - the big hairy Derby striker, not the little hairy Coldplay singer - flails around under a high ball. Derby fans restless with referee Marriner. 55 min 32,110 in attendance. Fernando Torres now getting dressed. Oscar's luck isn't improving much - Hughes hacks him down with a late tackle and accepts an obvious yellow card. 54 min Jose Mourinho has had quite enough of this - it's big guns time. Eden Hazard is wheeled out and parked on the Derby lawn. Michael Essien the man replaced. 53 min Third time in the game that Oscar takes a ball or stray arm in the face. The boyish good looks he started the game with are slowly being moulded into a mush fit for a new Bo Selecta character. 51 min Respite for Derby who get a free kick right on the corner of the penalty area with their first attack of the half. Mikel trips Hughes and Jamie Ward fancies it. Despite looking like he might struggle to even reach the goal with a full size football from here, the diminutive striker is a bit of a specialist in such situations... Hmmm, but then Dr Nick on the Simpsons also calls himself a specialist doesn't he? Ball sails harmlessly over the bar. 49 min Chelsea looking very much like they've had enough romance for one day. Dominating early on and threatening through Mikel who sees a master-blaster from range blocked on the edge of the box. 47 min Chelsea just threatening to move up through the gears. Oscar is at the heart of everything good they do at the moment but he delays a shooting opportunity too long meaning the angle narrows into merely a crossing opportunity and Buxton hammers the ball away to safety. 46 min Second half underway. Chelsea going left to right, attacking their own fans (not literally) which I throw in for colour rather than it's any use to anybody reading a live text blog on a newspaper website. 15.19 Anyway, mercifully, more football appears to be on the cards. Sunderland 2 Carlisle 1 in the second half - a Sean O'Hanlon own goal giving the Premier League side the lead for the secon time in the game. Port Vale 1 Plymouth 0, Liverpool 0 Oldham 0 as well. 15.17 Personally I'm in favour of using more than one football in Third Round clashes. Throw three or four of them out there for the last ten minutes of both halves. QPR could certainly have done with another ball at Everton yesterday - although whether Harry Redknapp's rabble would have managed a shot on target even then is very doubtful indeed. And secondly we delve into the post bag looking for suggestions to spice up early round FA Cup games as Paul Lambert and friends continue to wage war against the world's oldest knockout competition. Charlie Cresswell has a serious suggestion: "Huge ticket discounts would mean fans can go to Chelsea, Arsenal and the elite clubs for incredibly low prices and will encourage the fans of big clubs to travel as the tickets are cheap. It also mean lower league fans can see their team play some of the country's top teams at a low price. 15.10 I shall use this half time break, firstly, to rail against the most evil of all modern football phenomena. Forget players wages, influence of agents, Sunday morning kick off times and the punditry of Steve Claridge. No, nothing comes close... to the half and half scarf. Now you may have bought one at some point, through alcohol consumption, or to remember being at an amazing match between Manchester United and Real Madrid, or Barcelona and Chelsea, or Wigan v MK Dons, but really there's no excuse for this. I propose an amnesty - one day to dispose of them at a series of organised burnings across the country. After that, anybody caught with one shall be refused entry to all grounds. Except Old Trafford, where there are just too many to police without calling in the armed forces. Half Time Derby County 0-0 Chelsea It's an attractive game of football, but lacks the blood and thunder of a typical third round cup tie. Derby have played their own game, and got on top for for a decent period in the middle of the first half with Jamie Ward impressing, but Chelsea started and finished the stronger and were an inch away from taking the lead in stoppage time when Ramires hit the post. 45+1 min Derby get a real let off in a minute of added time at the end of the half with Ramires striking the base of the post with a deflected shot. The Championship side do, ineed, reach the break level though. 44 min Heavy Chelsea pressure to end the half but Willian's final ball into the box is poor and too high for the onrushing mob of attackers. 42 min Half time fast approaching, Dawkins wins a late corner off Cahill. Can Derby go into the break in the lead? 40 min Great header from Ashley 'Marlboro Man' Cole gets Oscar in behind Wisdom and the Brazilian has good reason to ask why there weren't more team mates in the penalty area to attack his low cross. Do we still believe Mourinho isn't looking for a new striker in January? 38 min Mind you.... 37 min John Eustace hassles Ramires out of possession and advances to the edge of the area before shooting, but we're more likely to be conquered by an invading force from outer space than see a 25 yard goal from John Eustace in this match and it's straight at Schwarzer. 35 min Chelsea now well on top and Grant can only stand and watch Oscar's 25 yarder as the flourescent pink football moves in the air and dips an inch wide of the top corner. 33 min Luiz plays the ball left and continues his run into the area... Oscar wins a corner that Derby clear easily. 32 min Scout your January transfer window targets in secret to avoid sudden price rises... 30 min First yellow card of the game, for the first foul, as Eustace attempts to recover a lost ball from Grant by fouling Essien 25 yards out. No shortage of candidates for a shot here... Oscar whistles a fine strike fractionally wide. 29 min Ramires finds space on the edge of the area and bounces a strange sort of 20 yarder a foot wide of the post with Grant just about covering the angle. 27 min Chelsea's turn to launch a concerted period of pressure. Prolonged possession around the edge of the area, a decent cross from Oscar that's headed away, Derby hold firm. Rams break to the other end of the field and Ward draws a block from Cahill after poor play from David Luiz. 25 min Sunderland 1 Carlisle 1 (Matt Robson 42) 24 min Ward catches Cole also dallying in possession and delivers low into the area via a deflection off Gary Cahill and Schwarzer claims nervously in the six yard box. 21 min Usually I'd be writing something about the problem of dominating without scoring, or making mistakes in bad areas, against quality opposition - Derby a bit too confident on the halfway line, concede possession, and suddenly Eto'o is clean through into the area. On this occasion though the Cameroon striker takes an absolute age to get a shot away and that allows Wisdom to swoop in and rescue the situation. 20 min Dawkins the latest to have a go from silly distance and his volley flies well over the top. Great ten minutes for Derby though. 18 min Derby continuing to take the game to their visitors. Ward cracks a speculative effort in on goal from long range that poses little danger but just for the moment Chelsea can't get out of their own half. 15 min Sunderland 1 Carlisle 0 (Adam Johnson 36 mins) 12 min Chance of the game so far goes to Derby. Forsyth feigns right and goes left before whipping a low cross into the near post where Jamie Ward is a foot too short to get a toe to the ball and convert. No surprise really, Ward is three foot six inches tall in platform boots. Next attack sees Ward tackled in the area for an obvious corner that Marriner awards as a goal kick. Couple of early incidents for the Premier League referee-Premier League team conspiracy whingers. 10 min Intriguing game so far - and I don't mean that in the usual way i.e. as dull as an insurance seminar. Chelsea having a lot of possession in the Derby half, but struggling to break through a well formed white wall of eight. This is no backs-to-the-wall effort from the Rams though, who spring forward with good numbers and a decent passing game when they do receive possession. 6 min Derby will feel very aggrieved if anything comes of this Chelsea corner. Oscar crosses to the near post, Lee Grant catches, Eto'o physically bundles him over the line, referee Andre Marriner says corner rather than Derby free kick. The Rams clear the danger though. 4 min First Derby attack ends with a low cross from Tiny Jamie Ward into the near post where Chris Martin throws himself at the ball searching for a sixteenth goal of the season but can't make a decent connection. 3 min Oscar threatens early, skipping past two into the Derby area, but loaned Liverpool full back Andre Wisdom comes across and clears up. Big day for John Eustace, sitting in the Rams' deep-lying midfield destroyer role against Willian, Oscar et al. 1 min Derby, as is Steve McClaren's way, are going to play out from the back regardless of the quality of the opposition. Much-sought-after Will Hughes drops deep to collect possession, Chelsea pushing high up the field to combat this. 14.18 Slightly late but here we go with all the football. 14.14 Anyway, leave those balls alone now, it's time for some actual football. Here come Derby and Chelsea, capacity crowd inside Pride Park which is now called the iPro Stadium and is situated at the end of a retail park near a Frankie and Bennies. Quick bang from Ray Winstone and we're ready to go. The romance of the modern day FA Cup. 14.10 Pity the television companies trying to pick ties out of that. No doubt the Man Utd and Liverpool games will feature, if they both win through their games today, and maybe Premier League Hull going to League Two Southend might appeal. Everton at Stevenage perhaps? Not a classic though is it? 14.00 Ok, draw time.... Martin has indeed turned up in a rascal sweater. Sunderland or Carlisle v Kidderminster or Peterborough Jose Mourinho says: "Of course we want to try and win the competition but more important than that is to show respect for the competition. John (Terry) and Petr (Cech) have played four times 90 minutes in the last period of games but apart from that I've tried to select the best possible team. I try to play with a strong team because we know a good team from the Championship can give a hard time to a Premier League team and we want to win the match. 13.51 Martin Allen is in place for the fourth round draw. Will Rochdale get their money spinning reward for beating Leeds? Will anybody fancy going to Forest after that display? And what outrageous knitwear will Allen have chosen for his latest TV appearance? 13.47 5-0 to Forest against West Ham now - Andy Reid lashes in during stoppage time. "Sacked in the morning" sing the Forest fans to Sam Allardyce who is preparing a number of different reasons why this is absolutely everybody else's fault except his. The West Ham fans are singing Paolo Di Canio's name as the full time whistle is blown at the City Ground. 13.45 Draw coming up live at 14.00 by the way... 13.40 What of Chelsea then? On a weekend when the annual debate about teams disrespecting the world's oldest knock out cup competition by fielding second string teams, Mourinho leaves Hazard, Torres, Terry and Mata on the bench but picks a very strong looking team regardless. Only the selection of veteran keeper Mark Schwarzer ahead of Petr Cech really screams 'weakened team'. Derby make two changes with Johnny Russell missing out with a broken cheekbone and Craig Bryson missing with a goin complaint. Rams coach Paul Simpson says: "Russell is battered and bruised; he had surgery the day after the Wigan game and hopefully it won't be too long until he is back with us. But we have got someone like Jamie Ward who comes straight back into the side, and with Jamie and Simon Dawkins on the either side, we hope we will have enough in the attacking areas to cause Chelsea some problems. 13.35 The rout of West Ham is continuing apace - 4-0 now, Paterson hat trick. 13.30 The rehabilitation of Steve 'Schteve' McClaren continues apace. The man who got the England job and responded by having his teeth done, then infamously stood under an umbrella as Croatia knocked his team out of the 2008 European Championships at the qualifying stage, then won a title in Holland in a spell best remembered for a comedy Dutch accent he adopted for interviews, then spent all of 20 minutes in charge of Nottingham Forest, might not actually be that much of a fool after all. He quietly took a coaching role at Queens Park Rangers during the summer, filling in while Harry Redknapp underwent knee surgery, and played a huge role in turning the beleaguered R's from a dysfunctional mess - just four wins from 36 Premier League games played the previous year - into a cohesive unit capable of bouncing back at the first time of asking. That tempted Derby, where he originally built his coaching reputation assisting Jim Smith during the 1990s, to bring him in to replace Nigel Clough. QPR had won nine and drawn two of their first 12 games with McClaren in the dugout and have won only five of 15 since he left. Derby had won five of their first 12 before he arrived but have won ten and drawn two of 14 since. The Wally with the Brolly no longer. 13.27 Now 3-0 at Forest, with Paterson scoring a second via a heavy deflection. If anybody had "crying child" on their FA Cup Third Round bingo card you can tick that box as well. All too much for one young Hammer behind the goal. 13.20 In other news, just down the road it is now Forest 2 West Ham U18s 0, Jamie Paterson with a second goal for the Championship side. 13.15 Steve McClaren's Derby County side will line up like this... Derby: Grant; Wisdom, Buxton, Keane, Forsyth; Eustace, Hughes; Hendrick, Dawkins, Ward; Martin Subs: Legzdins (GK), Freeman, Sammon, Bennett, Whitbread, Bailey, Cisse And Chelsea.... Chelsea: Schwarzer; Azpilicueta, Cahill, D Luiz, Cole; Essien (c), Mikel; Ramires, Oscar, Willian; Eto'o. Subs: Cech, Kalas, Terry, Baker, Hazard, Mata, Torres Derby County (Championship, 4th) v Chelsea (Premier League, 3rd) Gap: 21 places. Kick-off: 2.15pm. Referee: Andre Marriner (Matches 20 R5 Y68).
