Pearl Ram Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Didn't want to make a new thread about this but just had a news update from the BBC and it says United will appoint Mourinho as the new manager. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant blame the hibees a bit of over exuberance after 114 years. Last minute winner against Rangers at Hampden....thats the reason we all follow our clubs through the crap times. Glasgow will be a bit interesting tonight.....I hear there was a bit of trouble around the gallowgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be surprised at all. Probably some Rangers fans went up there looking for trouble and it's be natural enough for Hibs fans to all go drinking in the Celtic pubs.

eddie Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 What a cracking goal by Lingard to win any game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brammie Steve Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 Lingard scored an excellent goal, but MOTM? Had to be Rooney if anyone deserved it! Might as well give it to Pardew for his fancy footwork! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glasgow will be a bit interesting tonight.....I hear there was a bit of trouble around the gallowgate. Yeh I get the pitch invasion but not the goal post stuff. I met some Hibs fans when on holiday once. They were really clued up on the championship and spoke about Derby all the time. I felt embarrassed that I hadn't got a clue about Hibernian apart from they came from Edinburgh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

United thoroughly deserved to win the game and we're unlucky not to win it in 90 minutes. But they were fortunate in their route to the final. Never seen it so easy before.

Palace had Spurs and Southampton away, much tougher games. All about the luck of the draw though. 1 hour ago, Ghost of Clough said: Changing the goal posts once again? 2015 - Villa - Blackpool, Bournemouth, Leicester, West Brom, Liverpool 2014 - Hull - Boro, Southend, Brighton, Sunderland, Sheff Utd 2013 - Wigan - Bournemouth, Macclesfield, Huddersfield, Everton, Millwall 2011 - Stoke - Cardiff, Wolves, Brighton, West Ham, Bolton 2010 - Chelsea - Watford, Preston, Cardiff, Stoke, Villa 2010 - Portsmouth - Coventry, Sunderland, Southampton, Birmingham, Spurs 2008 - Cardiff - Chasetown, Hereford, Wolves, Boro, Barnsley 2007 - Man Utd - Villa, Portsmouth, Reading, Boro, Watford 2006 - West Ham - Norwich, Blackburn, Bolton, Man City, Boro 2005 - Arsenal - Stoke, Wolves, Sheff Utd, Bolton, Blackburn 2005 - Man Utd - Exeter, Boro, Everton, Southampton, Newcastle 2004 - Man Utd - Villa, Northampton, Man City, Fulham 2004 - Millwall - Walsall, Telford, Burnley, Tranmere, Sunderland 2003 - Southampton - Spurs, Milwall, Norwich, Wolves, Watford 2001 - Liverpool - Rotherham, Leeds, Man City, Tranmere, Wycombe 2000 - Chelsea - Hull, Forest, Leicester, Gillingham, Newcastle 2000 - Villa - Darlington, Southampton, Leeds, Everton, Bolton My original quote said Crystal Palace. I wasn't trying to change any goal posts. Of the list you've provided, I see none as easy as what United had. Their toughest fixture was against 7th in the Premier League, and even that was at Old Trafford. Actually just seen Cardiff's run to the final. I may have to take my original statement back. Jesus how the hell did they manage to pull all those teams out of the bag? Plus they had Pompey in the final. Yeh I'd say Cardiff had the easiest, then United.

Might as well give it to Pardew for his fancy footwork! Was a fine goal by Lingard (who was by far our worst player when here) but the best Man U performer on the day was Clattenburg. As the underdog you need a fair deal from the officials. Not allowed to capitalize on 2 gilt-edged chances, a possible pen (& sending off for Rooney) &, ignoring that, no other ref would have fought so hard to keep Rooney on the pitch. Had Wayne played for Palace he'd have headed down the tunnel long before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
