The 2008-09 FA Cup Thread

[IAceI]

Referee.

It's the way he does it though. He comes across totally smarmy about it. His comment was something like;

"Yeah well obviously we had a good goal disallowed. But the referee's only 23. People complain at people like him and Atwood, but they've never played the game before. They don't know what it's like."

Or something to that affect, I'm pulling from memory and it was a couple of hours ago. But he just said it with a massive grin on his face acting like a total cock. If I were a referee I'd go out of my way to piss him off even more - whatever you do he'll complain about it so you may as well make it miserable for him and his team at the same time. I'd hate to play for him, I'd hate to be near him altogether.

I must say, the one highlight of Kevin Blackwell's reign in charge of Leeds was the fact he'd do anything and everything to piss Colin off.

Why is ITV's coverage always crap? How have they managed to only have cameras at pitch level at Fratton Park today?

When can the BBC win the FA Cup rights back?

[Matt]

1. Because ITV is shit. I don't think I ever watch ITV for anything other than football.

2. Me and my dad were just on about this. The camerawork is fucking horrid on some games, I could have done better and there are probably people getting paid tens of thousands of pounds a year for it.

3. In about 4 years

[METALMAN]

Fabio is hurt apparently?

Fuck I thought that said Faldo was hurt there. But it's only Fabio...

What a relief.

Oh and ITV Scotland are regal knobjockeys for not showing FA Cup coverage in Scotland. Apparently they can't imagine there would be any interest in it which is a load of shite.

Of course, I probably wouldn't watch it much anyway but if there was nothing else on I'd take it over whatever exciting alternative ITV have thought up to put in its slot. Well my dad would watch it I suppose. I am angry on his behalf.

We are not getting the FA Cup or England matches anymore I am guessing because of ITV. Fuck them no FA Cup for 4 years

The heck is this all about? You mean the entire English television isn't going to broadcast the FA Cup or England matches anymore? Or you mean those silly cunts Sententa continue to ruin football television with their utter shite channel and unbearable commentary?

[therockbox]

He's in Bangladesh, so presumably he can only pick it up when it's on the BBC.

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

Oh then completely ignore my previous post, sorry Setanta

[therockbox]

Nah you're right, Setanta and ITV have somehow managed to make the BBC's football coverage look half decent.

[Dynamite]

What channel will be broadcasting the draw for the next round?

[alldaws1]

ITV. 6pm I think they said.

[Adam]

That is heartbreaking. I've ALWAYS wanted to go to Anfield or Goodison Park to watch Rovers, and we're gonna come so close, but no way we'll win that replay at Villa Park

Can MON do us a favour and say 'we're concentrating on the league & UEFA Cup, here's my youth side, have a nice day out in Round 5'?

Arsenal vs. Cardiff is... off.

Mickey Mouse football teams and their mickey mouse stadiums...

[Scott McFly]

The ground's fine, it's for the health and safety of supporters getting to the stadium.

[IAceI]

I was mocking a certain person.

I don't know if it was me..... so here's a pre-emptive

Just to be on the safe side.....

[Thrilla]

Whats with the socks being thrown onto the pitch at Goodison by the Liverpool fans?

[-A-]

Dunno. Maybe the referee's a wanker?
