No special on Stevie G? It's his birthday and the nation will want to know what he's up to.

I'm pretty sure he'll be mentioned somewhere, other than in the Semi-Final, as the Beeb can't help themselves, esp. in all that "build up coverage" which is a bit of an overkill.

Born in 1961 so this is the one I haven't been there in the flesh to see us win. Its on my bucket list and I have got this sneaky feeling we will pull it off.

Both teams to score 21/20 best price also evens offered in places. Great shout.
Expecting goals like last years final and a dramatic day. For me I truly believe players want it so much that will mean AVFC will outscore and win the FA cup. :-)

Lets hope they want it more than did on Saturday.

Do any France-based posters know who is broadcasting the game over here? Bein Sports have been doing so but they make no mention of it at all on their website.

Bein will be showing it but they only release their schedule for a week in advance.

Wankers. I thought they would be but they're not making a point of advertising it. Cheers pw.

[peter w]

they usually put everything and everything on and just about any game possible. In a a bar last week and whilst the Sunday games were being shown one small telly in the corner had Rangers v Queen of the South.  it'll be on.

If any kindly soul can help me out to a ticket that would be great please.

Sorry to appear too mercenary, but are there any long distance fans who can't make it to VP on Friday, who meet the criteria, who'd be kind enough to use their ref?. Me and one son have got one, but need one for the other son. Thanks in advance.

Where have these 800 extra tickets magically appeared from?

[mortimer1982]

Does a semi final ticket count towards the required 5 game booking history? Thanks

[lennythekad]

Or, if you've got more than one ref that fits the bill, I'll queue up overnight for you, in exchange for buying one of the tickets off you.
