Captain Hilts 12,819 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Wigan play in the FA Cup Final on the Saturday, then play Arsenal away on the Tuesday. modern football is horrible. don't give a shit about the Scottish Cup Final this year as it's the 2 most horrible teams in the country that are playing. hope it's back to Saturday next season though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ger_onimo 20,488 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Remember years ago , you could watch the English final on one side and the Scottish final on the otherWatched the Lovenkrands cup final in a pub down here, the FA Cup (Chelsea-Arsenal I think) was on 2 tellys with our game on one. There were enough of us (and them) to make it worth them having it on. Anyway, the entire pub ended up watching our game, mainly due to the racket coming from our end of the pub. Great day.But yeah, 3pm Saturday is when cup finals should be played, and after the league is finished. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkiBunny 441 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 I watched that final in a Celtc Pub in Madrid. They had curtained off the back end of the bar for the rangers supporters. I didn't realise this til we scored our first goal, when I realised I was the only one cheering this side of the curtain I moved through.

There were busloads of Bears there that day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sdunsmb 43 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Think its to do with broadcasting it round the world at a relevant time e.g. in USASeemed to start when ESPN bought a share of the rights. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
