While most eyes were on the Capital One Cup this evening, there was also a few FA Cup ties taking place featuring the teams in the lower echelons of the football league.
This JOE is still hopelessly romantic when it comes to the FA Cup despite the competitions importance being somewhat downgraded in recent years but this footage from tonight's meeting between Chester and Barnsley is proof that there's still some magic in the cup.
Take a look as Chester manager Steve Burr gives a packet of biscuits to his defender Gareth Roberts who then shares them out with some of the Barnsley players.
Chester lost the game 3-0 but they may have just won a few more admirers after this.
The least that Barnsley could do after the match is make them a cup of tea to go along with the biscuits.
Gaffer cakes! Chester players eat Jaffa Cakes thrown on by the boss - and share them with FA Cup opponents Barnsley. https://t.co/FsNReugQ0Z
