No.....the indigo rule. If someone doesn't reach the 75% participation mark they don't count. Ask RD.

Yup, agree 100%. Sold it down the river years ago. + money/europe.


As a kid in the 70s this was THE sporting highlight of the year for millions and I used to watch from first thing in the morning until the cup had been paraded round Wembley then a mass game of football afterwards, all my mates,family, all supporters, even old grannies used to watch it. Sound like an old git but I'm not sure many under say 35 really understand what it used to be like. I think someone famous from the great early 70s Liverpool team once said, "I've a bunch of Championship medals, i've a European cup medal but I'd trade them all in for an FA Cup winners medal"...can't imagine that now!

the FA just get better, don't they? Brilliantly and effortlessly devaluing their own crown jewel. I want to be sat in front of the telly, a mix of rancheros and ringos to hand, watching the coaches go to Wemberlee but no. Another part of my sporting love given over to idiocy.


I'm all about Wigan today. Just sorry that it just isn't quite what it should be.

Having lost the 78 final to Ipswich I could barely keep still for the 79 final


2 nil up at half time I vividly remember walking down to the beach for a breather an basking in likely glory


Second half... 5 mins left. And then they scored two. I felt physically ill. Genuinely not metaphorically. Then Sunderland not only score the winner but visibly swore on TV. The release...


Then we go and lose the next one in 1980. Can't remember who to

    • Disagree. Where are the police when you need them? People want a police presence, they want to feel reassured by seeing them do what the word suggests, policing, so go catch some bad guys, arrest, charge and get the CPS to prosecute with the evidence to enable this to happen. Stabbing and shootings are so common place they no longer even get reported in the public domain. How many crimes don't get solved? Rather case closed and forgotten. The number of low to high level crimes which remain unsolved is staggering.  The criminal fraternity know this, they know they won't get caught so they just carry on.  Biggest crimes which affect most people, probably are phone and car theft, both are prolific and what do the police do, diddly squat. zilch, nothing, provide a crime reference number and the case is closed. Not good enough, not by a country mile.   Met Engage? I don't think so.
    • https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/violent-crime-plunges-london-homicide-rate-b1247078.html Worth doing a little checking before making assumptions about violent crimes. Recent data suggests a drop in violent crime. Gang violence will make a significant contribution to the numbers. You are unlikely to be attacked by a stranger   
    • Unfortunately there are plenty of shops which don't care and will sell vapes, alcohol and weed to minors, I'm sure they won't care about selling them fireworks. Or the kids nick them.
    • It’s getting a bit annoying. We’ve a nervous dog who trembles when they go off. I know to expect it around Halloween and Diwali but it seems to be happening more through the year.
