Am I being thick or have I missed something, but the BBC website has the FA Cup final down as a 17:15 kick-off. Whatever happened to the traditional 3pm start? When the fook did this change, and which t  t-hole made that decision? For fookety-fook's sake, is nothing sacred any more?

I believe it's a combination of a few things. - Date change due to Euros, bringing forward final. - Therefore clashes with Prem fixtures at 3pm on that day. - The FA are t ts.

But they've moved all but 1 game to the sunday? I feel it also has something to do with the sponsors being budweiser and want it shown later for the americans over the pond. Agree 100% with the FA being a set of t ts.

Very bizarre goal in Serie A last night. 93rd minute and someone in the crowd blows a whistle for full time. The Lazio players stop but the Udinese players don't and go on and score! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n2URk6SIdUU

Very strange and lucky it didn't change the result.

When the fook did this change, and which t t-hole made that decision? For fookety-fook's sake, is nothing sacred any more? Its b ks. The Cup Final has always been a 3pm kick off no matter what. A 5.15 kick off just ups the potential for trouble as it gives the 'fans' another 2 hours in the pub - & we all know that football & alcohol doesnt always mix well so the risk factor increases. Sadly the FA, along with most other organisations these days, have had their heads turned by the promise of a big cheque to f k about with someone sacred. What next? No singing of Abide With Me because some knob with a clipboard has decided it might offend a non-christian somewhere? FFS. Leave the kick off time alone - it should always be a 3.00pm kick off.

I have some friends in the force and they are furious about it, although one of them loves a good ruck so he is quite chuffed

Normally I'd be annoyed, but since I finish work at 4:30 on Saturday it actually suits me rather well.
