The FA Cup Final taking place before the end of the domestic season remains an absolute travesty. Alongside..

- VAR
- Stopping play for a minutes applause
- 6 team playoffs in the Championship
- Half time/mid game interviews
- Increase of 12.30pm kick offs
- 2 inch shinpads

I preferred the old days,3 o'clock ko.players getting stuck in and proud to wear the badge,the FA cup a week after the season had finished.how do premier fans with all these late ko on a Saturday and Sunday,it must be a nightmare for away fans getting home,not that sky tv would care about the fans.

Agree with all of that but at least it's at 3pm today and there's no Premier League games on the same day.

Been reduced to a late kick off in recent years with Premier League games on the same day.

I think it was put back to its traditional time in case it went to extra time and penalties and bbc didn't want any interference with the Eurovision :lol:
