Oh yes of course the old 'you may have played for another team earlier on in the comp but you can play in the final rule' Number 172.36 Paragraph 13 of the FA rule book

Glad you brought that up lol

So he can't play then?
He'll be gutted!

....................no wait just checked it that rule states that baconface et al must be allowed to harass the ref to near suicide


He must be cuptied then.

Actually I think he's right - just checked out the FA's website. Apparently any player can play in the final regardless of whether they were cup tied.

Rule 15(2)(a) also states that they can temporarily sign up to three players for the final provided they pay an admin fee to the FA of £50 and a KFC bargain bucket. Apparently Everton have already agreed with Valencia to borrow Villa, Barca are loaning Messi and Liverpool are sending them Gerrard.

Yes, it's a rule many oversee, and many more don't know exists. Including the FA.

It'll be like having a little piece of City in the cup final.

The shape of things to come, can't wait for 30th May...
