[Football] FA Cup Final

[Deleted member 2719]

Hazards touch was sublime.

Phil Jones, crazy challenge.

What an astonishingly poor player he is.

Thank god he is not going to the World Cup in place of someone like Dunk.

Hang on..............

Hazard could do a job.

Does Olivier have a soft spot for United. That is a sending off no?

Looked like there was a defender who could have got back on the line

 

[maffew]

have the rules changed (I hear), that was a red was it not if it was a foul?

Nice penalty though and I like that camera angle from behind the player BT sport do, it looks CGI

Does Olivier have a soft spot for United. That is a sending off no?

No. Oliver 100% correct

 

[Icy Gull]

No. Oliver 100% correct

We’ll agree to differ as I saw him as the last defender, the other one was not going to get back

Not relevant. Not a red even if there was no keeper in the goal.

have the rules changed (I hear), that was a red was it not if it was a foul?

Yes they have. So long as the ref considers that he was at least trying to get the ball, then a pen and a yellow is the correct punishment.

Agree to differ all you like. You’re wrong!

No way was he in any position to challenge legally, it was a tackle from behind

 

[Weststander]

Was that an effort by Jones that to get the ball? Strange attempted tackle.

 

[maltaseagull]

Is it just me who finds Abide With Me a boring dirge , which evokes no feelings , other than a wish to get it over with?

Just you. Major part of the ceremony when I was a child and watched the cup finals in the early 60s.

Not for me - Jones only wanted Hazard's shirt

 

[sir_gullahad]

Who designed this stadium? Cameras are too low down and the sun is playing havoc down the Chelsea end. Awful viewing. Mind it's not that great when your there either

They designed the stadium with a 3pm KO in mind...

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

Has everybody on this thread been watching Game Of Moans.

Struggle to understand the neutral's interest personally. It's not as though you'd want either team to win.

 

[Weststander]

Expect to see hoofball tactics to giants Lukaku and Fellaini in a while.

That's the 'beautiful game' which £800m buys you.

 

[GoingUp]

Struggle to understand the neutral's interest personally. It's not as though you'd want either team to win.

Its not like its the oldest competition in football or anything.

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Crap game. Crap atmosphere.

 

[Weststander]

Phil Jones limping. Crikey, not another injury for the WC?

 

[Green Cross Code Man]

Struggle to understand the neutral's interest personally. It's not as though you'd want either team to win.

Absolutely. But which team represents the lesser of the two evils?

Its not like its the oldest competition in football or anything.

That argument would have held up 2 decades ago. But the FA, Man United and the changes to football in recent years have massively devalued the competition.
