Re: FA Cup Finals

I wish they had abandoned this game to be honest .

That's 90 minutes of my life I won't be getting back

No, it's been 5.30 for a good few years now

Re: FA Cup Finals

The F.A. Cup final is, I think, starting to become lost in the myriad of football games now televised. Pre-Sky, the F.A. Cup final was one of a very few live games that could be seen on TV. Now it is one among hundreds, and I think it is losing its special place in the TV and football calendar, and that is a shame.

Re: FA Cup Finals

It is F.A. Cup final day and kick-off is at 5.30pm. I have no idea why the traditional 3pm kick-off time has been abandoned. Also, to be honest, although I shall watch the match, the excitement of the day in years gone by is, for me, now very diminished. I had actually forgotten it was the final today until my dad reminded me, plus I had to check who was playing. Sad, but it just isn't the same as it used to be.

I had to chuckle at part of the Beeb's build-up - they were in a VIP bar and all the (clearly visible) big screens were set to Sky Sports!

The poor girl singing the national anthem missed her cue she started half way through.

She could not hear her cue.
