      FA Cup Semi Final - 15th April 2012
      Feb 29, 2012 11:15:54 pm
      Probably should be in the general football section as there's no certainty of us getting to the Cup semi final but even if we do, there's no chance we'll play on the 15th.

      I must admit though I find it quite shocking that the FA would play either of the semi finals on that date. There's really no need to it and shows a lot of disrespect towards the club and the 96 fans who lost their lives at Hillsborough in an FA Cup semi final tie on the 15th April 1989. The FA Cup dates are organised long before the season is so why not just shift it to a week either side and instead have Premiership matches around the 15th.

      We obviously won't play on that date and have made that clear to the FA and UEFA in previous years when they've had us scheduled to play on the 15th, but to have an FA Cup semi final is just totally wrong.

      Gotta agree with you. I can't believe that not one single person in the FA saw the proposed dates and didn't think of the relevance of the date and the anger and feelings that this would raise.

      I feel that this shows a level of contempt to the families and friends of the lost and LFC, as well as those connected with the club, that is quite beyond the pale. Seriously someone, hopefully the chairman, should come out and apologise for even making the suggestion that these games be played on this date.

      We should start getting our gears in motion and join up the FA fan ,because there is a very real danger that this could happen. Bombard them with Emails.

      If we get to the semi-finals, we will play on the Saturday, that's the 14th.

      There is no way on God's earth that we would play, or be asked to play on the 15th.

      There is no point in an e-mail campaign, e-petition, or anything similar, as we will not play on the 15th April 20xx

      They know the relevance of the 15th to us, so why don"t they scrap it completely instead of winding us up.

      It's the FA, tell me you weren't expecting it.

      After all they have already played a semi-final at Hillsborough and that was only three years after the disaster!!

      Even the FA wouldn't suggest we play on the 15th April... If they did we should pull out of their competition never to enter it again.

      But I can't believe that any FA cup semi is ever played on the 15th April ever.

      I think we all know we wouldn't play on the 15th but the point of this thread was to point the insensitive nature of the FA for having any FA Cup semi final on the 15th.

      As I said earlier the FA have already held an FA Cup semi-final at Hillsborough, so they won't give a F**k about not playing a semi on that date and it wouldn't surprise me if we did get to the semi, we'll end up with the FA saying we have to play on that date.

      Just remember it was the F***ing FA that was pushing us for an answer on when we would get back to playing in 89, them tw*ts are capable of anything.

      Why won't we be asked? We were expected to play on the 15th a few years back in the League, I think it was Blackburn we were meant to play until we told the FA to F**k off. Same as we did with UEFA when we were expected to play a European tie on the 15th, think that one was only a few years back in the Europa League.

      And as I've said, the thread is not to highlight the insensitive nature of the FA for holding any FA Cup semi finals on the 15th April.

      No, I dont work for the FA mate. I'm just not anti them like it seems some here are though. I'm not one for agenda's and the like, I just think everyone makes mistakes. I might be naive I guess, then again I might be right??? I'm more in support of the England team than the FA anyway. I don't think Steven Gerrard is made to play for example, he chooses. To blame England is daft, I also think the whole captains thing is something out of nothing. Anyway, we shouldnt go of topic in such a thread. Its about a very important subject & should be kept there. Sorry if I shouldn't have replied.

      BBC deffo won't as they didn't win the rights to show it.

      I know I've been banging on about this for a few weeks now (ever since the loss to Arsenal) but the FA Cup games are the only meaningful games we have left.  We need to get it right against the Blue sh*te for two reasons.

      1.  We should always be beating the Blue sh*te!!
      2.  We are 2 wins away from another piece of silverware, which will certainly shut some of the critics up who are calling for Kenny's head. 

      Come on lads, we need another trophy for the cabinet!!!  YNWA

      Game on 14th April, 2012 12.30pm with Blueshet & we must beat them, they are above us in the table right now. Must not give them the satisfaction of kicking us out of the FA Cup.

      It's called optimism. Try it sometimes, instead of all the negativity.

      I meant it as an incentive to win.

      Indeed, there was never a chance of the game being the 15th.

      April 14th. 12.30pm.
