Topic: The FA Cup.

[Funky_Gibbons]

Wow, that's what football is all about. 

[zimmie'5555]

Boss that, for the first time in decades it felt like an actual proper FA Cup final.

[Fabulous_aurelio]

Fucking amazing scenes there. That was lovely. I'm so, so happy they won. Fucking brilliant.

[Oskar]

Nice to see their owner involved in the celebrations, has to be very emotional for him and his family.

[Ray K]

That's great, really.

Hope Leicester celebrate hard for the next two weeks, they deserve it.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

Aye, that's a nice one too.

It's no Vanarama Trophy

[Hazell]

So it was handball for the goal? Don't want to see it ruled out but I thought that if you score after a handball it won't count?

[Fabulous_aurelio]

Also, just seen Cengiz Under in the background. What's happened to him? He was suppose to be a big up and coming player. Has he been injured?

[Son of Spion]

That's a disgusting decision for a disgusting football club.

For me, it's onside. But with the rules as they are, and how they have been enforced this season, he's well off.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Funny as feck seeing the BBC camera moving at light speed from the 2 Leicester players celebrating holding a Palestinian flag:

Has to be be handball either by the goalscorer or player who assists it as far as I'm aware for that rule

 A couple of years ago it was City V Watford final. It meant little to City but everything to Watford who got smashed. Even if Chelsea won, it's basically a warm up game for the CL final.

Football needs different winners.

Incidentally that's a PL title, an FA Cup, two League Cups (and won The Championship and League One titles) since the other lot in blue won shit.

[Jshooters]

It was the late great Jock Stein who coined the phrase “football without fans is nothing”.

How right he was, and how this evening reinforced what we all knew.

Mancs claim it was Busby...

[meady1981]

Glad Chelsea lost. I just can’t believe I’m going to hoping they win the Champions league in a couple weeks. Sickening.

[Cu Chulainn]

Get in Leicester. That's what football's all about.

[Andy @ Allerton!]

The player that hit it didn't handball it

[Fruity]

Would be a non event - just like when they win the prem

the nice thing is as long as we get 4th I would be more than happy to laugh at either losing the CL (especially if Chelsea miss out on a CL place)

[Pistolero]

Pisto mate, are you really being serious

100% JC  ....cos of the fucked up circs I felt we had to play the percentages this year....but this year only....next year..as you were, FA, Europa...even the fuckin Worthingtons would do me 

[Hazell]

Salah's got ruled out against Tottenham for the ball hitting Firmino's hand 3 or 4 passes before, that's why I'm confused.

[WhereAngelsPlay]

Only if it's Bobby Firmino

[Eeyore]

Bobby had one ruled out where it was the pass before the assist.

[Macphisto80]

In football terms, yeah, he's well on.

[Jshooters]

Salah's got ruled out against Tottenham for the ball hitting Firmino's hand 3 or 4 passes before, that's why I'm confused.

They’ve updated the rules since then...for the 4th or fifth time this season 

[Ray K]

He was wearing a Liverpool shirt when he scored.

[Robinred]

Busby was a true great, and he played for LFC too.

But as usual, Utd. fans are wrong.

They changed the rule because that ruling made everyone realise how fucking stupid it was

[Caligula?]

I think it's because the Leicester player, Perez(?), was defending the situation and didn't handle it in the build up to an attack

[sinnermichael]

Some proper weirdos in our fanbase who hate Rodgers and literally can't give him any credit for anything.

Move on with your lives ffs.

Of course. Seems like something the footballing authorities would do without batting an eyelid.

Cheers, hadn't realized it was changed again 

[Libertine]

"What does it mean to you Brendan?"

"Well, it's my 7th final and I've win them all"

 

[Jshooters]

No probs mate. Madness that they can just change the rules mid season

[Funky_Gibbons]

Yup, as I said earlier, he's cemented his position as the best of the rest now.

Did his best, gave me some of the best memories I've got of watching us play, fell short in the end, has moved on and improved, and been nothing but respectful to us since being sacked.


Personally delighted to see him do well.

Beautiful, that.

Real shot in the arm for football today

I liked him when he was at Anfield and I still like him now. Your post pretty much covers how I perceive him too.

I'm chuffed he's won this today.
