FA Cup Final

[Big Mac]

Arsenal 3 Hull 2. At last some silverware again!

And from 0-2 down. The ref denied Arsenal at least 3 penalties. Class came through in the end & Ramsey scored a great winner.

Ref also gave you the corner that wasn't, which Koscielny scored from.

More arse than class.

Another case of Arsenal envy from a Spuds supporter.

Yeah, saw that NOC. But balanced out by the blatant penalty incidents (especially the Hull hand-ball one) that were not given.

Arsenal conceding that soft early goal from a corner put them under a lot of unnecessary anxiety. Many teams at high levels keep conceding at corners like Arsenal did by not having a man on that far post. Dunno what to make of their persistence with not having men on both posts when defending corners.

Wasn't a bad game really but really, get rid of those pinkish/orangish footballs - just doesn't look right.

The game itself at least was allowed to flow and the Referee was, in my opinion, superb throughout.

None of the Arses' penalty appeals were deserved to be given as the players involved were overacting to the nth degree.

I believe that this match should be used as a "How to Referee a Big Match for the Players and Fans" standard for All Australian Referees.

The Referee is ther to ensure the flow of the game not turn into a personal "Look At Me Ruining the game" fest that the usual A League Referees use in big games.

I realize the FA Cup is yesterweek's news, but IMO it was a superbly entertaining game, even for those not liking Arsenal. The Gunners played superbly after falling 2 goals behind.

I differ about the penalty claims - Hull's Jake Livermore appeared to reach up intentionally when it hit him on the arm for a dead-set penalty. OK, big Giroud's felling was never going to get a penalty with this ref, but what about Cazorla's claim? Cazorla cut back inside and had his feet clearly caught underneath him by Hull's Davies.

I'm hoping this team which displays so much fluid movement & creativity wins the title next year as well as the Cup.
