Two fingers of drink to be consumed -

* Any reference to sheepskin coats.
* "This their FA Cup final right here."
* "David v Goliath"
* ‘Potential banana skin’
* "Form books go out of window" (First person to produce an actual ‘form book’ and explain what the hell it actually is wins a bar of gold).
* Any reference to foreign players getting ‘a REAL taste of English football’.
* "Cup fever!"

Four fingers of drink to be consumed -

* Any reference to ‘minnows’ in a non-fishing context.
* "We’ve got a real cup-tie on our hands here." BONUS - free boozy prize to be handed to anyone who manages to spot a ‘fake cup-tie’ going on.
* Any reference to fans of a team that get absolutely pumped having a ‘great day out’ regardless.
* Any reference to Thierry Henry’s comeback at Leeds.
* John Motson works himself into an unintentionally smutty lather on commentary with some confused metaphors.

Five fingers of drink to be consumed -

* Shot of man watching a game with a dog in tow.
* Any reference to a part time players’ normal occupation. Extra finger to be drunk if player in question turns out to be a postman.
* "The FA Cup, the great leveller."
* Reference to ‘Ricky Villa’ (last one to shout Evita does a shot)
* Any reference to "both teams being winners."
* Footage of a child holding a homemade FA Cup covered in tin foil.
* Reference to the number of league places between two sides.
* Footage of people peering at a game out the window of a nearby house or perched in a handily placed tree.

Finish Drink -

* Match ball punted out of ground into car park/someone’s garden/nearby river.
* Footage of grown man holding a homemade FA Cup covered in tin foil.
* "The magic of the cup…" – Last one to shout Debbie McGee must finish their drink.
* Any reference to Roy Essandoh, Wycombe or Teletext – last one to shout out correct the Ceefax number for the football homepage on BBC Teletext must finish their drink.
* Reference to any obscure early winners of the FA Cup including: The Royal Engineers, Oxford University, Old Etonians, Old Carthusians and Clapham Rovers.
* Any jovial chat of a local food outlet creating an FA Cup related product - e.g. Garishly coloured sausages, Razor Ruddock themed pie and mash or a terrifying 2ft bust of Owen Coyle made entirely out of pies.

Damn...a 'Young Ones' gag....missed that

I did spot Chris Martin (the Coldplay one, not the Derby one) telling the world how Exeter City are his "soccer" club.

Urgh. "Soccer" :rolleyes:

Do you think he's ever been to St James's Park?

I think you should release this as a board game, with a picture of Emlyn Hughes or Ronnie Radford on the box, under the the legend, "A thrill every minute!"
