FA Cup Final

Brother, goal for West Ham

FA Cup Final, shot or cross? No, I meant it, mate.

I don't score many, so I have to say that.

You made my day.

The actual roof almost took off the stadium when he scored that goal and the atmosphere was the best I can ever recall at at the stadium at that particular match.

Well, the FA Cup final, of course, is the highlight.

It's got to be one of the best, probably, moments in my life of anything, really.

It must be well up there.

But the way results went with Bowes winning in the league and then Drogheda winning and Galway winning, it wasn't a good week of results.

But I don't think they'll care because they're probably still partying for qualifying for the... for the FA Cup Final, which is against Derry, so it's going to be an interesting end to the season, I'd love to see Waterford win the Cup, but I'm not going against Derry, because anyone, Michael Duffy and their team, has always got a chance, but yeah, that has been it for this week in Irish Football, hasn't been a huge chunk, but there's going to be a big week ahead now, I think as well, and then we're going to build back up again into the international break as well so leave your thoughts leave your comments in there and i'll speak to you all soon thanks for watching

remember that yeah the British

public can't be trusted with that because people sent in all sorts of pictures and things in 2021 though you're in the FA Cup final I remember this because my dad's a big Leicester fan and we all watched it together and that had been the first time that fans had been I think allowed back to games which the occasion itself must have just felt absolutely unbelievable to walk out in a final but also in front of fans finally Yeah,

yeah, it did.

It was just obviously there was only, I think, 20,000, 25,000 there.

And again, I spoke about the Seville game earlier, having everything, this was the same.

The goal that Uri scored out of this world, the saves that Kasper made, like I've never, I'm yet to see two better saves live on a pitch.

So for him to do that at Wembley in an FA Cup final was amazing.

Then obviously Ben Chilwell, former Leicester player, teammate, has a goal disallowed in the last kick.

Brighton was found in nineteen one, but its journey to the top was anything but straightforward.

In the '80s, Brighton reached the First Division and even play in the 1983 FA Cup Final against Manchester United.

But the following years brought a, a dramatic decline.

By 1997, the club was facing financial turmoil, had lost its historic Goldstone Ground, and was fighting to avoid relegation out of the Football League.

we need to try and digitise that there's a tape in my mum's attic of the 1990 cup final where I've drawn on the two badges of the teams and written Ben's tape do not record over I really want to find that oh lovely

I thought for a little period in time probably three years in a row I thought I was going to have it over the companies that released the FA Cup final videos for mementos and I just recorded every minute of the FA Cup final on TV and I just Honestly, like, big old BASF.

Yeah.

Three-hour jobbies.

Do not tape over.

FA Cup Final 1991 Tottenham.

Rip the tab off, mate.

Rip the tab off.

... it's, you know, you can ...

I mean, Palace's run to the FA Cup final was easy b- basically.

Yeah.

Aston Villa, I don't call them that easy.

With the-

... women's-

With the women's FA Cup final-

Yeah

Uh, Sussex got a wicket, and I'm listening to T- Test Match Special while sitting in the Warner Stand, and, uh, I'm age 10, and, you know, this is Sussex.

This is the ep- the thing about them, as you and I know, the, the, the Gillette Cup Final, and that was sort of, it was like the FA Cup Final.

Yep.

It was the biggest day of the year.

Newly promoted, immediately champions of England.

Instead, the first major trophy of the Revie era disappeared by the narrowest of margins, and the season wasn't finished with Leeds yet because Revie's side also reached Wembley, the FA Cup final.

Liverpool against Leeds United.

After 90 minutes, nil-nil.

They had the possibility of achieving something astonishing, and then everything collapsed.

Everton took the League Championship.

Chelsea faced Leeds in the FA Cup Final.

The first game finished 2-2, so they had to play again.
