FA Cup SF Draw | Nott'm Forest | Sun 27 April 16:30 | ITV1

I think that is misinformation originating from Forest’s own official website.

The slate is wiped after the QFs, as it is in most tournaments. The intention being that a yellow in the semi, can’t get you banned from the final.

But two yellows up to and including the QF will still result in a ban for the SF.
If that's the case, apologies, I stand corrected. The rule itself seems to have sloppy wording. I did think it was a bit odd as if that were the case, any yellow in the quarter final given to a player already with a yellow would be redundant. Good news for us anyway!
 
It's arguably the toughest fixture in the country right now, Forest have been that impressive, they work like trojans, and seem hell bent on Champions League qualification and an FA Cup win ..... having said that I don't think they were actually any better than us in the game at the City ground a few weeks back, even though they managed a late win, and, if we can actually deliver better finishing this time around, then we CAN knock them out .... but we WILL have to at least match their work rate, and keep that Gibbs White quiet, as he appears to pull most of their strings!
 
It says date TBC, then states Saturday 12pm-2pm?

I think for them to add it to calendars they have to put a time, so they’ve just put a random 12-2.

It still shows the Villa game on the Monday night, so I wouldn’t pay much attention to the calendar until it’s officially announced.
 
all of this but….It’s City in an fa cup semi final. Thats all you need to know, it’s not being played in Saudi or the US yet so I’ll be going. You don’t get to 50 having lived in Manchester all your life & been going to Maine rd from 4 year old to start making excuses about Wembley is shit, the kick off times are shit, the trains are shit. It’s our club and if the die hards let semi finals turn into charity shield type crowds we really are fucked.
To be fair I don’t think the ‘die hards’ are letting semi finals turn into charity shield type games. The cost involved is ridiculous and you can’t really blame someone not wanting to attend

Great post. This is the attititude of all proper City fans. We have followed them everywhere over land and sea. I started going away in the 70s, jibbing the trains, begging, stealing, or borrowing to make sure I could get to games. Sometimes even hitchhiking, sleeping at bus stations etc. I will never willingly miss a trip to Wembley to watch our team. These times don't last for ever so, as someone once said, "drink it in."

Oi fingy lend me 10p
 
Just come home after the game like the 2000 who went to Bournemouth did yesterday a much more difficult journey, but a brilliant away end with fans desperate for City to succeed and to be there regardless of the hurdles

Mate, I've been there countless times all over the country, the majority of the times when we were totally shit and lucky to win a fucking point never mind the chance of a trophy, so I've no idea what point you're trying to make with that reply.
You asked why a lot of our fans weren't buzzing like other clubs fans at the prospect of a semi final at Wembley and I gave you a number of very valid reasons as to why. That's it.

I thought they were shit to be honest. Our performance that day was Rank.

I fancy us to beat these.

23/24 FAC SF & Final [2] 20 in total plus this FAC SF this season and 7 Community Shields [28 total in 14 years..amazing)
one of community shields v chelsea was at villa park due to olympics 2012, also 2 matches v spurs played at wembley
 
Hard to imagine that in the previous three decades, we had a grand total of zero Wembley appearances. From the Spurs replay in May 1981 up to the rags s/f in April 2011. Unless I've forgotten one, of course.




Not counting the Full Members' Cup in '86, by the way!
forgot the league 2 playoff final v gillingham with 60,000 blues
