The FA cup show BBC 1

[perseus]

Watched for about 30 secs and switched over, watching Scottish Cup Final and it's actually quite an enjoyable game. Aberdeen certainly had their chances. 1-1 at the moment.

Cracking game just how a cup final should be

Game up watching both BBC and ITV pre game coverage years ago, as both are just dire. Will also probably watch the game with the commentary muted.

Offside rule should changed back. Arsenal

There's a red card in this game, I can feel it

Not entirely sure what you're expecting for several hours of pre match build up. Back in the day it would have been Cup Final It's a knockout'. Do you really want to go back to those days. A few years ago the cup final wasn't even the last domestic game and the Premier League would have games the same day. Not saying they have got it right but they are making a better effort than they used to. For the record, I didn't watch the pre match build up as I think it is more aimed at the younger element rather than seasoned football supporters!!!

Arsenal superb at the moment

Gone are the days when it was on ITV with wrestling with big nmes taking part pre game. It was a ritual to watch from about 12 noon until the presentation of the cup at about 5.30pm

You watched it on ITV ?

That is how I remember it but I am sure my memory tells me that on occassions they went to the hotels and met the players at breakfast.

Pre-recorded. It went live when the players left the hotels.

Do you remember when the TV channel got someone to make up a song for Chelsea (who didn't have one).
It started something like:
Blue is the colour, Chelsea is the name ........

 

[patchamalbion]

what a game this is!

 

[perseus]

Arsenal are all over Chelsea like we were over Wednesday in the play-offs. Could be 1-1.

Or like Arsenal were all over us in the second match when Arsenal could not keep it up for the whole game.

It seems worse now than it did at the time.

Not watched the final for years but finding myself enjoying this. Also thinking many of these players will be at The Amex some point next season- I really can't wait.

Wonderful scenes as the Palace reject is sent off off for diving. LOL!

Like a lot of the more mature football fans on here I remember the times when FA Cup final days were a special occasion.

It used to occupy broadcast coverage from 9am to kick off time at 3pm. It was probably one of the few live games that were broadcast and necessitated getting in food and beer and hours of sitting on the couch watching with mates.

The special nature of this match has been consigned to history.

F a cup its a knockout
Cameras on the trains to Wembley with the fans...the Everton Liverpool final comes to mind.

Learnt at the masters of diving

Didn't jimmy hill and the big match fa cup game get Tottenham fans to sing the Ozzie song that chas and dave had written for them?
