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!

['bout 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.

[????]

Yup, Letting Man U skip it as winners,

Semi-Finals at Wembley (to pay the building bill)

5.45pm start

tossers

['bout now]

I'm looking at my FA cup ticket from Cardiff * wipes tear from eye*

[????]

Last year was Cathartic for me, I've still got mine somewhere but I have still never watched any of that game on TV...didn't watch much of the last 20 minutes of normal time in Cardiff either :(

[maxxi]

The demise of the Cup Winners Cup didn't help - entry into the Europa (chokes down bile) Cup is a poor substitute.

['bout now]

I've never been able to watch it either, I knew we'd lose when it came to penalties.

Dean Ashton, DEAN ASHTON, what could he have become?

*wails*

[maxxi]

stop it.

['bout now]

In fact, due to my hangover and the onrush of sentiment

[StraferJack]

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

['bout now]

And Willie Young stayed on the pitch. Today he would have been burnt at the stake.

Happy Dayz

The FA Cup has been crushed and devalued.
