FA Cup 5th Round Draw | Luton (A)

[ancoats]

I have a very big problem with the way the FAcup ties are drawn, Why have no clubs ever complained about the clear bottom bowl and the big hole you can see into the bowl, Just bring back the velvet bag if everybody loves the tradition of the most famous cup in the world.

Today I saw the ex-player looking into the bowl clearly picking one of the last 2 balls out to give Luton the home tie vs City, He clearly knew the numbers of the two teams, The luck of the draw my arse

Keeping the big guns apart, it's a fix

You reckon they’ll draw us away at Anfield in the quarters, a few days apart from a possible Champions League 1/4 final match?

So as Luton play Sat afterwards, assume we’ll be either the Tues or Wed? I can’t see a fixture listed for them the weekend before.

They have that weekend off, it's League cup final day they should have played dippers.

Total fix these days, the plastic bowl doesn't work and the way commentators keep milking this competition and Auntie Beeb doing special shows on "Cup Final Day" like Top Of The Pops 2 FA Cup and a Pointless Special, does not wash with me. The Cup will never gain back its "Breakfast from the teams hotels" / "Coaches to the stadium" from 9am status.

A rule has to be in place in which teams must always field the strongest team they have available. The Premier League has it, why not the "World's longest running domestic straight knock-out club tournament"?.

My brother is a TV lighting engineer, not recently but he’s done many draws . I can promise you you can’t see into the bowl from the top, nothing is fixed and no he isn’t one of the thousands needed to keep quiet that would have to be in on the ‘Fix’.

Would not surprise me.

just posted this on the FA website
"As a Man City fan it was very strange to hear us described in today's FA Cup draw not as 7 times winners and holders but as "second in the league & 5 times semi finalists." Scripted media bias disrespecting my club & the competition but in line with ITV low broadcasting standards."

5 times semi finalists? Yet we've won it 7 times?

Was it also in the 5th round that Law scored his 6 at Luton and none of them counted?

Fourth round I think mate.
