The Semi Final Draw

[superjam]

OK in a nutshell...

Last nights draw...

Square "balls" that were placed in the hat off screen and were all set before the draw.
As they were drawn no effort was made to give them a mix.

You could clearly see them drawn from the left, right front and back of the barrel on TV, (Watch your replay)

At the time of the draw it kept Chelsea and Scum apart - setting up the "perfect final"

Manchester Derby is the perfect big profile Semi (and the only way there was a chance of scum playing their first team players).

I am more than happy with the draw but the way it was conducted was dodgy to say the least.
Anyone else notice this... I mean why square balls???

 

[meeesh]

I smelt a rat when it said ball no4 Man City or Arsenal.I thought fuck off you tossers,what you on about,I believe the draw was pre recorded with various scenarios filmed...just my opinion,but probably correct none the less

must admit... I did wonder why they were using square balls.....bit odd!!!

So Tim Flowers, Nigel Winterburn and the TV production staff were all party to this conspiracy and not one of them has spilled the beans?

Beats me why you're all so suprised ...... i told you all on here BEFORE the quarter finals were played what the semi-final games would be (see Bluemoon post below) .......

i only got Chelsea wrong because they can't take penalties properly!

Of course the draw was 'fixed' , although you won't prove it ...... the authorities WON'T have City and United playing together at Wembley ..... it just wouldn't be 'cricket'!

It's not exactly predicting the lottery is it. One in three chance of being right :)

I would need to have been bodily present at the draw to be 100% content that it was a random draw made at the time it was transmitted.

Would you also need to check that Derren Brown wasn't within five miles at any point either?
