FA Cup semi-final - vs Liverpool Sunday 3pm

[exigo]

When do they decide which game will be when ?

When they've worked out which day is Steve Gee's cat's birthday/lucky number/...

The Blackburn-Liverpool replay isn't until 7th April. We don't have to wait until after that to buy tickets do we?

Not a bad draw at all. We've beaten Liverpool with a shite manager in charge we can certainly do it now. They've gotta beat Blackburn away first, tough tie.

[LTA]

Realisticly it will be Liverpool, so the whole country wants Stevie G to win the cup and playing against currently the most hated team in the country in the semi......

Urggggh , scouse wankers at Wembley then.
Will be like the Alamo outside .

Dream scenario 1: Blackburn in the semis and Bradford in the final. And lifting the Holy Grail.

Dream scenario 2: Liverpool in the semis and ruining the Stevie G wankfest. Arsenal in the final and showing the world Villa are back as we lift the Holy Grail.

Have to wait for the TV companies to decide

1st two teams drawn out have the first semi, so we're the Sunday game.

I'm almost certain it doesn't work that way.

Bring it on.  I'm beginning to believe it is written in the stars...

We avoided Arsenal so that's good. Who knows could still play Blackburn yet.

At least they won't have Fowler  in this semi  final this time

So, Liverpool and Blackburn wont replay until around 7th April. Just over a week before the semi.
What happens if we draw the winner of that game?
I guess the date of the match can be finalised (saturday or Sunday), but does it mean tickets wont go on sale for either of semi finalists until the outcome of that game?

That draw looked very dodgy. Seriously. He bloody well looked and picked the Arsenal ball after the Bradford pick.

The FA are foolish to allow the integrity of the draw to be seen to be compromised - I always preferred it when the draw was made by officials.
