Lovely piece at half-time about Peter Rodriguez collecting the cup from the Queen and scenes of the Civic reception

That choked me up

If the taters could at least just realise that Perraud is not pronounced "Peru", that would be an instant improvement.

Swans have a player called Peru (not spelt that way)

Not all bad this BBC Wales.   Nice bit on Peter Rodrigues at half time and us winning the 76 cup.  Great memories.

Commentary has been awful but really enjoyed that.

I said as soon as he was booked that he needs pulling off. He’s just not got the right mentality to change the way he plays.

It’s ironic that Obefami showed the type of nouse that we seem to lack so often.

Maybe that’s what he was thinking about for half time, when the ball sailed over his noggin’.

We might need him at RB on Tuesday with no Valery, Tino or KWP.

Hes on a free and we have space in the squad....

Yep, but as we’re down to 10 men I’m just not sure he’ll be effective.

Having looked at that challenge again, Valery was so silly to put a hand on his shoulder, think that is what gave it away.

I think you’re right….. if he doesn’t it his hand on his shoulder I think it isn’t a foul….

Even if we win the FA Cup in my lifetime, and I'm there to see it, I think I'll always wonder what it was like to be there in 76. With it being our first major trophy, winning it the way we did, against such huge odds... a proper fairytale cup run, while in a lower division as well...

We can put a face and a name to the moron on the commentary team now, Iwan Roberts. Talking about the new owners and starts with "you always worry new owners will want to bring their own man in". Christ, have they paid any attention at all? 

 

The bird at pitchside is alright though.

I think I’ve just shed a tear watching the Peter Rodrigues segment. 

Had the pleasure of his (and his sons) company one night about 10 years ago in The Grapes. Just said hello and he spent the next 3 or 4 hours reeling off all his said to stories. Fantastic bloke.

Yeah but she said we were overtaken during the week.

Yeah, maybe.

Ralph can't win can he.  Take him off early and it proves he has no confidence.  He may well have pulled him at half time or early second half, but that's academic now.  Totally different game on our hands now.

You’d have thought if it’s your actual job you could come out with more than boring obvious platitudes. But Roberts managed it. Added absolutely nothing.

Swansea have a player called Piroe, I think that's what you're hearing.

How many people have got at this game? More commentators, summarisers and guests than there are football players!

At least now we know where the TV licence money is going

To this day I have a clear memory of meeting up with my 71 year-old Dad after the game (he was in the seats, we were in the Saints end) and his words were "You can take me now, Lord, you can take me now". And with Cambridge doing Newcastle, perhaps the magic of the FA Cup is coming back.

It was stupid, but it also wasn’t a yellow card. I don’t know when the rules changed so that every foul is a yellow. 
Brain fats from both Yan and the ref.

They were running along together and there was no attempt at any sort of challenge. Their feet touched and Obefami went down. A foul at worst but not a yellow. The game is f***ed with decisions like these!

He put his hand on his shoulder and pulled him back. It's a foul.

Armstrong looks well off the pace. 

Sure does. Not at the races at all.

We have five subs. With ten men we really have to use them. Ralph always seems slow to act on substitutions. Armstrong on for Broja would take the game back to them

What is this ‘Premiership’ place this commentator keeps going on about? 

It's almost as if she hasn't got a clue what she's talking about

Being Welsh they obviously get confused when commentating on anything other than rugby.
