FA Cup FA Cup Final 22/23

[OX14]

The cup final is played on Saturdays so no reason why you can't do both!

I opted to sit in the garden and drink beer while watching the wildlife and listening to some good music. Can't be watching premier league Prima Donna's and commentators trying to say the game is a classic when watching paint dry would be a better watch.

I'm no fan of Man United but if you can't celebrate a cup final goal without fear of getting hit by something from the crowd then there's something very wrong.

There's only one person to blame and that's the dick that threw the item.

The person that threw it is a dick, that’s not in question, but to celebrate like that, in front of the City fans is asking for trouble, that’s patently obvious, but they never learn. Just don’t do it and the problem won’t occur, it’s simple,

 

[Steve Gilbert]

I can't stand Man United and it's always nice to see them lose a final but then I feel Man City winning is nothing special given the amount of financial fair play rules they have broken.
Given the amount of money they have thrown at that team then they should be winning every trophy available to them.

Give it 4 years and Newcastle will be the same. I'm now at the stage where I don't care if they get their European super league, leaving everyone else to play on a more even playing field.

The Championship looks like it will be the most exciting league to watch next season over the Premier League.

I have no idea why players feel the need to wildly celebrate in front of the opposition supporters.
It happens at the Kassam sometimes- ridiculous

And it’ll continue to happen at every level until the FA make it stop, or a player gets seriously injured or worse.

 

[IsleofWightYellow]

As far as I'm concerned there is only one United and one City. Neither of them are based in Greater Manchester.

As far as I’m concerned there are multiple Cities and Uniteds, based all over the country

Of fans act responsibly!

Of course there is but I couldn't give a rat's a**e about them.

Or both?

 

[Oxford57]

I got bored after awhile, clear evidence that there is too much football on tv, the FA cup final and the home internationals were something to be cherished

So you’re saying the players aren’t to blame in any way for provoking the fans? It’s ok for a player to run directly to opposition fans and celebrate in front of them without expecting any response? That’s ok?! Of course the fans need to act responsibly but the players have a part to play.

 

[Grumpy Git]

Although under the law as it stands it is a penalty. The decision wasn't poor, the law is.

There was no intent to touch the ball. Ridiculous decisio.

Intent sadly seems to be irrelevant nowadays.

Apparently someone wearing a shirt with 97 not enough at Wembley today. Now that’s what gives the vast vast majority a bad name.

 

[SteMerritt]

I sat down the end of the garden in the sun watching the final on my phone (modern technology is marvellous). When the team in red equalised both neighbours left and right let out almighty shouts of joy. After the game I had a few beers and a BBQ, but it was nicely quiet. Lovely.

What a start for City, 13 SECONDS in

How Grealish could have avoided the "handball" when jumping like that I don't know

Half time 1 all

No skin in this game so I can say I couldn't agree less. Watch it back in real time and see Grealish raise his hand at the end of his mid-air turn

They've been arrested, thankfully.

I’d say watch it again, his hand moves in a natural position for someone who has just tried to flick the ball away with his head.

It's Grealish.

Not particularly bothered about the football . I don't support either of the two Manchester sides my team play in Division 1 and will be in a new sports complex in 2026 !
