So do we think the FA will try to reduce our allocation for the final?
They’ll probably move it to Sunday neet with a 19:00pm KO, cancel all rail movement in and out of London, close the motorways; especially if it turns out to be a home game for Chelses and because we insited crowd violence by simply having the front to be there in the first instance !!!
Good Video; let’s hope there will be an even better sequel !Come on Frank – We are waiting !
You never know; you might getr chance to do a Trilogy !!!!!!!!!!!
… great to get one back on this lot as thought we were robbed up at their place[/quote]
Spot on Fella; robbed more than once, I may add. Remember Boycey getting sent off at Newcastle and he was 2 yards away from any tackle ! Think lee MCCulloch was sent off for now’t the year before. The crowd at St James park constantly hassle the the officials. Maybe for once we got a homer of a ref; makes a nice change !
Anyone else hear him say (when being interviewed) about the possibility of latics reaching the challenge cup final. I didn’t know whether or not to laugh or :angry:Err, wasn’t that what they called it in’th owden days ?
Today was a real throwback to the good old days of being a Latics fan.When nobody gave us a chance and we then went and stunned the football world with a breathtaking performance.The whole team today were sensational and it really brought back home to me what being a Wigan fan has always been about.The bigger diversity we face the more this incredible club thrives.40 yrs ago Wigan Athletic lost to Scarborough 2-1 in extra time in the F A Trophy final at Wembley and as a youngster I was heartbroken.They have more than made it up to me since and out of the 40 odd years ive been a fan I can honestly say that not that many times have they let us the fans down.We may be struggling and we may go down but for what this wonderful club has given me in all those years means that I would have to be a complete and utter moron to start bellyaching and slagging them off.Today we went back to being the old Wigan Athletic and boy do I feel good tonight.Like galac has said so proud of the lads today.Well put Ste !
Ah the FA Trophy Final – I was a youngster too. Cried with joy when my hero Johnny Rogers got the equaliser. But we were still being cheated then; we were denied a clear penalty when Mickey Worwick ( I think ) beat the monstrous fat Bert Garrow in nets, only for his shot to be saved on the line by their winger ( Dick somebody or other ) who dived and stopped a certain goal with his hand. Still got the picture from behind the nets in my scrapbook in the attic. Those were the days. PS how many times have the Latics appeared at Wembley ?Scharner will probably be doing Tequila Slammers at the bar with Jefferson Montero, this very moment !
