Title: Cup Final or Royal Wedding?
Post by: Bentley Bullet on May 18, 2018, 02:11:14 pm
Will you be watching the joining together of two of the most fortunate and obscenely rich members of the elite, putting on another showcase and making a fortune out of us lesser mortals, or will you be watching the Royal wedding?

Watching Curtis Main score a hat trick at Hampden Park then stick the FA Cup on. Not arsed in the slightest about weddings, never mind one involving people I never have and almost certainly never will meet.

Never mentioned British at all, but if you want to go down that route, unless you're a a pure bred Celt, I think you'll find that we all have German blood, thanks to the Saxons that migrated here many centuries ago

Credit to you for making this happen for you and your lad. Enjoy your day!

Absolutely no interest in the wedding but will be rooting for Motherwell as I hate Celtic with a passion. Just hope Steven G can get the backing and work the miracle required to restore Rangers to the top (tough job I know) but any league where the bets are on who will be runners up is just pointless.

I went Fishing for the whole day when Charles and Diana got married and would do today if possible. I am currently watching Kevin Nolan on SSN for the 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th time complaining "that the Refs did us" - get used to it mate - rather than even watch BBC News because it will be wall to wall Royal Wedding.

Time for a Republic imo - but it wont happen in my lifetime

I will get to watch FA Cup Final hoping for a Chelsea win to deprive Man U of winning a Trophy they openly spurned and furthered its demise - but now are desparate to win - for some Silverware to crown a great Season

I expect Chelsea will blow it as they seem poor to me - so I will turn off the TV if it is going to go the wrong way - and ignore it tomorrow as well till the joyous coverage of both events begins to fade

Now back to researching my Family Tree to see if Victor Meldrew really was my Dad

If you really are researching your family tree, you can find some very interesting things, I discovered my Grandad had 21 siblings 😳

Didn’t watch the Royal Wedding, did watch the Cup final - there’s 90 minutes of my life I will not get back. More excitement in the Rev Curry’s speech than the whole of the cup final.

FA Cup finals are invariably cr*p when you get two big teams playing each other. Trouble is, outside the top six hardly anyone in the Premier League takes the Cup seriously.

It's a really sad fact, the Royal Wedding was more memorable
than the Cup Final.

Was at the Races yesterday courtesy of DRFC, and they had the Cup Final showing on a big screen and Alex Stepney in attendance with a replica FA Cup. He's looking well and spritely for his age!

We are in Greece and last night there were probably about six people watching it. I saw abou five minutes of it.
It was followed by the German cup final and there did look to be one or two more watching that one.

Sounds like it was a lot more exciting.

Bit of a dramatic finish as well, I hear Bayern were denied a penalty, then the following corner Frankfurt went down the other end to make it 3-1

Moving to Branton, eh, Michael? You lucky bu**er! The first 24 years of my life were spent in the village, before I moved away just over 50 years ago! Happy days!  :)

Watched both the Scottish and English cup finals ,only because I had a few bets on them, cards corners and goals etc. Didn’t win anything so that was about 5 hours of my life I won’t get back .

I was working so I'm a bit late to the wedding party. For what it's worth here are a few fashion observations.

The Groom wore full military garb.

The bride wore a Claire Waight Keller dress.

Elton John wore a wig and silly pink glasses.

Victoria Beckham wore a face like a slapped arse.
