United (N) | FA Cup Final | Post-Match Thread

As for Kev, the only thing I can assume is the ManUre player's leg was planted as KDB was going for the ball, so it was interpreted that the defender got their first,
But it wasn't, fred clearly moves across and blocks Kev's run with an outstretched leg, taking him down, not Kev running into a stationery planted leg...

At least they won the fashion contest!

I would love if this was done on purpose by us. They don't respect us(referees, allegations, etc) so we answer them with that way. Next time please wear swim shorts please!

Haha. I didn’t know this but I’m going to guess this was done on purpose to keep the players relaxed and in “just another game” mood. Well done City. The little things can matter.
 
Thanks for the good wishes everyone. Sat with mum now showing her the movies we took, though she's mostly asleep and the quick visit from the carers is soon. She stood up briefly with the home physio team today which is brilliant, her first time out of bed since rushed to hospital February 15th. It's still a few days at a time, but there's hope there will be more months left, and it's still two fingers to that hospital who moved her to end of life care telling us she had days to live - in March. Lay in bed on oxygen in a hospital bed in her own lounge is better than being in that place.. 5 weeks in that place and condemed by them to "hours, days a week left at most" after 4, but now had 10 weeks at home with her. Though me and my sister never expected to be live in carers... But here we are.. So time with my boy and my "normal" life is precious, as is being with mum.. I wish there were two of me.. And I'm trapped between looking to the future for my son and seeing the past all the time as my mum fades, whilst trying to be in the now without having a breakdown.. And so desperately trying to get into the "treble" feeling as city have been my life, this is huge huge, it matters so much to me.. But cos of it being right now, it's just spinning my head. And I know I'm mentioning it in many of my posts, but we're deeply traumatised really.

Anyway, enough doom. Just wanted to say thanks. My son says he didn't "repeat any bad words" at school today so that's good! He enjoyed the final and I was so proud to take him, so proud, I missed mum with me, but cried for many reasons when it sunk in we were going to win. I was his age for the 81 final (no one took me but I remember the day clearly) and here I was with my longed for much loved son at the fa cup final (my 16th trip, his 1st). Wish it was him WITH my mum rather than instead of her, wish they were either side of me, but mum was in my head and heart. We had a brilliant day though, I felt truly happy.

Long shot I kniw, but does anyone have one of the official all blue city cup final scarves they were selling in wembkey, they were £20. I got one for my 6 yr old but mum wants one and I messed up by not bringing one home. She could have his, but having it in bed it will get stained with food and probable wee, so even when washed he doesn't want it back, so I think I've failed as a daughter AND as a Mum in one go there! :(

What a way to win though. And that goal, that start - fuck me! And laughing at the rags will never get old :)

This post brings back a lot of memories of the last few months with my Mum before she passed away. Very hard to manage things and the football is often a nice break from the hard reality where you can be in this bubble. Unlike most, it was my Mum who took me to Maine Road for the first time and not my Dad! I don't have a scarf but hopefully someone can sort you out one, or you can get a similar one online. Keep plugging away and try to have those conversations with your Mum that you need to. I miss mine everyday, despite it being so horrific for her in the end I still wish she was here. You're doing an amazing job both as a child and a parent.

Just means we where relaxed about the occasion, and getting in & out of a suit on a hot day is a load of faff, we definitely did do it on purpose but that’s down to our meticulous planning & probably not two fingers to the established, sliders & swim gear would cause an uproar, I’d like to see it!

They should have piled all those nice suits in the back of the net. Might have done a better job of keeping the hall out of the net than their sorry excuse for a keeper.
