FA Youth Cup Final 25th April - Lost 5-3 on penalties

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Either one that bottles it, or one that cheats.

Or one who is destined in another five or ten seasons to be on the FIFA list and hailed as the best ref in the PL!!

I’ll give you a guess what my money is on.

Was injured It also meant that McDonald had to go in the back 4 so we lost some control in midfield

They need to review if the extra time is a good idea as most of the players were suffering from cramp, should just go straight to pens Felt for Cole Palmer, who missed the pen, as he look good when he came on

He did look good when he came on

Real shame, couldn't believe it when they scored in the last few mins, was gutted for Moulden.

Knight and Palmer looked good and for their age you can only be impressed.

Deserved to win it on the whole of the game, penalties always a lottery.

Just what kind of ref doesn't give that handball?

It's a disgrace. Plain as day cheating. Or cowardice.

Just had another look and there wasn't one player blocking the ref's view of what can only be called the clearest case of blatant handball. Wonder how the Dipper meedya have spun that one. That ref should be drummed out of the game!

My wife who really has no interest in football was watching it with me and she shouted handball!! Why that ref didnt give it......... oh wait he was told not to so the under 18s could inspire the 1st team to the title.

Away from the football, will questions be asked about the attendance later night ? Don't know how many where at the last youth final between City and Liverpool, but I would say about 3 or 4 times more than there last night , and that was for a 2nd leg being 3 nil down from the first leg !
It seems the organisation of these matches are horrible and need sorting out.

They got 20k in the 2008 final against chelsea. It is a pity they arent played at the Etihad anymore.
