FA Cup Draw Balls-Up

[playuppompey01]

PLAY UP POMPEY POMPEY PLAY UP

[coxey1000]

What a cock up lol hahahahahaha

[sky332]

It clearly says 24

[rcmanization]

i wonder what wud've happened if the other guy had got the 2nd ball..wud he have been intelligent enough to cover it up like that?

[adams83413]

He covers the second number with his finger they know they made a mistake and tried to cover it up

[andrewlawrence2209]

On both occasions I thought it read 21 to begin with.

[DCFilms27]

Look at his eyes everytime he said the wrong number

[smilerboyboy]

His eyes look so shady.

[abhudson14]

at least itv have got right with the fa cup having the draws on a sunday instead of monday

[20cFilmWannabe]

why would the fa want Man U to play Aston Villa ?

[transitny]

I don't like the regime at the FA, but that does look like 24 to me.

[davidbcfc93]

definatley 24

[weatherallc05]

wow the fa shows their love for man united once again. fuck off you corrupt cunts

[johnsagoatboy]

@weatherallc05 how is that showing love to man united? they gave them a harder draw u retard

[aarongallagher21]

Quite clearly was a correct draw. And why would there even be a cover up

[aarongallagher21]

Quite clearly a pile of balls

[imnotafukinyido]

it looks like a 4 but the other drawing of the number 4 a little bit

[geohat185]

your all saying it looks like 25, thats defiantly 24, its got a curved upwards part, it's the line at the bottom that makes it look like a 5

[pkells100]

cheatin bastrdsssssssss

[suineggninnips]

@morrisgetsowned Of course its still in there, the ball in question gets drawn out at 0.42

[JCGproductionFiles]

perhaps that guy just has shit eye sight and no one bothered to check.

[exeterrobbo1]

i never new this happened .what a load of bollocks,all these dinosaur f.a.reps should of be shot,but maybe theres a few gone now any way.another cover up.who did russia play?

[ronaldinhollew]

That looks like 24 on the close-up!

No cover-up!

[anil2]

@ronaldinhollew you work for the fa or your blind?

[morrisgetsowned]

look at 40 seconds you can see 24

[morrisgetsowned]

if you look in the dish you can see 24 in there

[DAJAZDJ1]

thats a funny score arsenal 1 chelsea 12 liverpool 22 man utd 24 a bit like australia wiining 36-0 v american samoa my local village team who play in div 4 out of 5 wouldn't lose 36-0 why can a team like that play internatinals san marino would beat them around 10-0 probaly

[TedLUFC]

Definitaly number 24

[kisbie]

Come on people, do you actually think Daily Star readers have any numerical knowledge whatsoever? That's clearly 24 first time round, unless the FA briefly experimented with a 2012 Olympic logo-type font.

[xStoodleyySFCx]

notice how the team annoncer almost chuckled , or something , i cant explain it.l

[aronandben]

if you pause it on 1:07 , you see that 25 is still in the pot and 25 could not have been drawn out! what a scandal!

[suineggninnips]

@aronandben that looks like an upside down 52 to me - there would have been 64 teams at this stage of the competition

[aronandben]

@suineggninnips yeah that could be possible, or like an upside down 42. still very odd!

[Hugh903]

I'm sorry, but the Daily Star were on another money-making scam.

THE FIRST BALL CLEARLY READS 24 AND THE SECOND CLEARLY READS 25.

It's all good and proper, unlike the Daily Star - our national newspaper for CHAVS, dole-seekers, and those who think it's interesting reading about Kerry Katona and Katie Price's tits.

[silverfuck77jpm]

Corrupt Cunts.

[Jarren202]

I was going to give him the benefit of doubt and accept the excuse about light glare...

...until I saw him hide the number on the ball when he called out 25.

SO dodgy.

[irishdan2007]

lol at the shifty eyes

[BlackburnRavers]

dodgy bastard, that was definitely 25 first out,

[noahtavlin]

i can see how its a 4. i think its right.

[simondo24]

it shoulda been aston villa vs middlesborough

[cardiffcity122]

Nah, it's correct. The ball was definitely 24 when he said it was 24, and 25 when he said 25.

[Gamerpigeon]

it is correct , manchester united was a 24 and middlesborough was a 25

[jaradoref]

I am a Bristol City fan, (and Arsenal, but City is my local professional team) and if there was a balls up between 24 and 25, City (and I) won't be happy cos we could have played an United at home and it would have been a packed Ashton gate guarenteed

[jimmy17900]

clearly 25 when he says 24

[weatherallc05]

@jimmy17900 man united aswell, the twats

[JensonsBeard]

I'm pretty sure it is number 24.

[macphersonleedsunite]

Did they realise they had a couple of wrong fixtures and did they manage to put the right teams playing the opponent they were supposed to play?.

[spurs8991]

wow his face looks shifty when he says 24....

[delly66]

it looks like 25 but when it zooms in its clearly 24 !

[Busher50]

well im a middlesbrough fan im glad

[Moss235]

@Busher50 Yeah but tbh we'd already had that mammoth tie the year before and this one was never going to be exciting, mind you the two matches we had the previous season were two of the best that year I remember being there at the Riverside for the penalty shootout game and not getting home til 4 am on the weds

[skaincz]

I think the drawn ball was 24. I think, it's correct.

[HolteDuffyEnder]

Im a villa fan and i usually complain but for fukk sake it was 3 years ago just leave it anyway were gunna win the carling cup :D

[7891matt7891]

why did he say 24 when it was 25?

[CoolBoysBackYard]

I'm a Villa supporter this does not surprise me because we are the most hated team in the country for no reason. Villa fan were a bit supsious about this draw as we keep drawing Man Utd. Inorder so we can be knocked out.

[nickthefox72]

haha dont flatter urselves.yes dodgy draw but villa are unimportant . nobody except blue noses give a flying fuck about a team littered over the years with leicester rejects! mon da foxes

[sheepscape90]

shut it!!!!!

[mland83]

Not true Leeds are!!

[wewonit5timeslfc]

@CoolBoysBackYard ur not hated by many people i dont think. i dont know any liverpool fans that hate aston villa

[lethaby9989]

i reckon sounessis a boro fan

[MrTvfreak2008]

The FA later stated that it was 'a trick of the light'. The only magic trick here is the cover up of the FA.

His shifty looks and the fact that he covers up the real number later says it all.

I hate people that take us for fools.

[zKa0sz]

@MrTvfreak2008 That's presumably why you read the Daily Star

[Daynefc18]

defo a 4

[mattieivory1994]

im a blues fan and that was so funny shame we lost to huddersfield though

[jameswestham]

the line under neath the number to show which round it goes makes the four look like a five, but theres definitely no foul play there.

[sheepscape90]

why would there be a line under a number 4, eh? not like it says anything the other way up

[BillyMysterio]

I would agree that a line under the 24 would be pointless but stop the video at 39 seconds and look just above Plymouth Argyle's name and 24 is clearly there with a line underneath it. BTW it's on it's side butit's still clear

[tempa1994]

@BillyMysterio every number has a line under it

[nikobellic9876]

so your telling me it should have been aston villa vs boro, and bristol city vs manu, it dosen't make much a difference for me

[goffmeister78]

ha ha. fucking shifty eyes !

[markyw]

this is what a 24 looks like: 0.36

[markyw]

cheating cunts

[fatuglypug]

at 1.09 time can be clearly seen in the drum still - even though it's meant to be in his hand

[MrHSingh]

why was the guy covering the second ball and looking all shifty? i think he just messed up and didnt know what to do...

[Visonu]

My team Huddersfield were drawn at home to Birmingham City and won 2-1

[eveniskey]

24, so obvious. When you first see it, it does look like a 25 but after about a second you can see it is a 24... and the close up confirms it to clearly be 24.

[0saintclark0]

Definitely a 24. If it was 25 then the top part of the 5 would not be slanted.

[SiBarton14]

Its 24. Just a different font from what your used to seeing. Nothing wrong with it.

[lfcJT07]

never trust the bbc....

[mikester845]

woa! wat a mistake

[septic77]

its all a big con fix bollocks

[nufcdazzla]

What??? THAT IS 24

[strangebling]

it is 24

[Boroyouth]

boro always get shit teams in the fa cup we just need to win them

[snowdogg8]

thats fuckin bull shit

[Petersbcfc]

ah city could of played united.

[facuppredictions]

Thats an absolute discrace

[samo5750]

i know your serious its just it wasnt a funny joke

im an arsenal fan too

[Daynefc18]

the draws fixed ah well we will end the red shites title and fa cup hopes murdering twats

[conkerchip]

Nah he didn't cheat. There both right.

[kanenkitten]

Arsenal number 1! Just like in real life!

[jamiep7]

good one that!

[samo5750]

your a top joker kanenkitten

[kanenkitten]

That wasn't a joke, I was serious

[alkalinemuse]

It's 26. Villa should be playing 26, whoever that is.

[joeprosserla]

Which should be Newcastle I think.

[cheshiretrader]

After a second look it was 24. Anyway, let's face it the FA wouldn't deliberately give Man Utd a tough away draw.

[gigey77]

its 24

[leeds0united]

first i thought it was 25 but then after realised it might have been 24

[hirox003]

ale lol

[Stan1885]

Apparently, there's going to be a mass boycott of this week's FA Cup games as a protest against the FA and, in particular, their despicable decision to expel Bury FC from the competition in the 2006/2007 season.

I'll certainly be staying away, to show my support. Down with the FA!

[MiniKittyKate]

Yes - Everybody in Bury seems to be talking about this at the moment. I won't be going either!

[graemegraemegraeme]

you probably couldnt afford to go anyway

[durden2001]

LOL how dodgy he even covers the second ball he draws and says it 24 to cover his first load of crap...

[darkwhitty]

Yes from a distance it looks like 25 BUT all the numbers are underlined and that is what makes it look like a 25.

I just wanted to add, stop at 0:40 and you actually see 24 sat right there facing the camera right as Sammy grabs it. His hand appears to go for it, just too add a little extra confirmation.

[Darkflame20]

so what happened with this then? nothing as usual eh

[raymcd2007]

look people, throw tradition out the fookin window. random is best. no sentiment involved, then maybe man utd might be drawn fookin away for once, oh and also to a team that hates the very blood that allegedly pores through the migty reds fixture, silly circumstance but no probbs

so astop worrying?

[1875HIBSFC]

it looked like 25 to me but then i looked closer and it was 24 underlined

[RichySKing]

aahh, well spotted.

[h33I0]

did you see him looking around after he called it out LOL

[englandvsa]

IT'S UNDERLINED LOOK EXTRA EXTRA CLOSE AND IT'S AN UNDERLINED 24

So put it to rest

You may have to squint to see that

[javaid86]

Thats well dodgy! Bloody F.A and there dodgy dealings.....

[StandardIdiots]

Its bound to happen again next year.

[Liverpool7Kiss]

Its 24

[wales76]

LIVERPOOL CARDIFF CITY ROCK

[PetrCechNo1]

He done that last season when he drew King's Lynn out twice in the first round

[lennyg57]

why did they not have a redraw ???????

[eggheadAKAspensley]

it obvs somthing doddgy.. look at the second clip when he pulls out the "24" he is holding he finger infron the the number.. there should be no qestion as to what went down here..

[Woolfey4]

It's 24 underlined you idiots. All the numbers are underlined but with the dodgy blurry zoom in it looks like a 5 and you can't see the gap between the number and underline.

[efcboi4eva]

exactly

[efcboi4eva]

i agree with wolfey he may look shifty but look closer its definately a 24 underlined

[pportvale]

True. Man U and their glory hunting scum im vale fan but FC united are a true footy club, not all prawn sandwich..

[briansully85]

there is no way man utd would get drawn against 19 premiership teams in the last 21 draws if it wasnt a fix

[zhd05]

HAHAHA, on EXACTLY 57 seconds, look at that face he pulls... dodgy or what!

[ddraiggochnewport]

0:57... look how shifty he looks

[badbusta4lyf]

chelsea fan ere. well done barnsley. we played crap deserved to lose.

[NJDevils1087]

That's a 4... look at 0:40 and see the font they put the numbers in. It looks exactly the same in the slow-mo and magnifying view.

[coolfooty124]

chelsea

[matbor33]

00:40 is probably the best evidence-24 is definately still in there!

[Johnovboro]

and the point is...that was when they pulled out the number 2 (aston villa)

[1877wwfclub]

it was obvious after Sammy Nelson called out da second which SHOULD of been Man U he looks at the person hu is calling out da teams names 2 to see if he has been caught

look at 1.15 and it is proved

[caheathy]

every1 shud know now the draw is fixed. united hav had 11 prem teams in a row now nd how many hav chelsea had?? no wonder they get 2 the finals.

[rechedelphar]

Bristol Rovers are in the quarters not City

[e130]

it should have been

aston villa v middlesborugh

bristil city vs man utd

[me3609]

i think bristol might like to have had middlesborough more than united, i mean who does want to draw united. but the call was wrong defo. still now Bristol are in the quater finals, they will be grateful. who do you support anyway, for me it's chelsea

[e130]

i support chelsea to

[me3609]

nice one, goodonya. i think it will be at least 2-0 to chelsea against olimpiacos tonight. and inter milan 3-0 winners against the reds

[MCnJay]

Thats rigged! The guy looks suspect. You see him covering the 25? And looking all over the place? While the other guy shows his number and is confident about it.

[NJDevils1087]

It's not rigged, watch it again and freeze at 40 to see the font. You can clearly see 24 in the pot.  When you see the zoom, the confusion is because of the line they put under the 4, making people think it's a 5. Good catch from the person who also pointed out 24 at 0:40

[rechedelphar]

he looks shifty

[laurenlollie]

00:40 you can see the 24 ball. It is clearly 24 and not 25

[tdrdamr0d]

Everyone, that is clearly 24. The FA did it correctly.

Look close on the close-up. Imagine it's a 4 and you will realise for sure.

No doubt, done correctly.

[aalh004]

Actually it looks like 24 to me, look very carefully. The numbers all have a line drawn underneath aswell, that might be confusing some people.

[louisofdaboro]

thats clearly 25 kinda glad though wouldnt have fancied play aston villa lol (boro are 25)

[goonerboy93]

it must have been rigged

[FootballIsFake]

That is right! You are beginning to see.

[JO89HN]

Look when he reads out 25 which in fact is 24 he moves his eye balls towards Trevor Brooking as if to say did i get away with that HA what a muppet

[tdrdamr0d]

Nope, he does that every time.

Clearly it's done correctly.

[JO89HN]

What a fool Carn't count

[duke2189]

dirty bastards, can't even get a fucking simple draw right. No wonder we can't find a decent england manager.

[mikepoyner]

Chim Chimney Chim Chimney Chim Chim Cherooo, We hate the bastards in claret and blue. COME ON YOU BAGGIES!!

[jjsb1234]

you have my sympathy; you're a baggies supporter

[rich80wba]

ha ha villa smell

[franktb17]

its clear it is 25 and as a villa fan i am really annoyed how the fa have cocked this up!

[ronanscally]

retarded scotsman

[jjsb1234]

you fuckin prick! how is that 24? fuckin retard. how many more times r people gonna bum man u

[MartinDubzSet]

actually you retard, that was a more difficult draw for man united. surely if they were bumming united they would have preferred them to play BRISTOL CITY, a LEAGUE ONE team than away at ASTON VILLA, a current top 6 PREMIERSHIP TEAM!. the F.A. are infact AGAINST united because of the north south divide. please get your facts right!!!

[MartinDubzSet]

championship team bristol are sorry, my mistake, but still a much easier tie than away at villa!!!

[aberdeenfc1983]

AGAINST utd!?!

:S lmao, ha ha wise up mate , most favoured team in england, jst like rangers r up here

[MartinDubzSet]

not at all, plenty of decisions go against united, just like any other team, the F.A. favour nobody. and the draw balls up actually has made the F.A. cup more open, it meant either villa or united had to go out, where if they were drawn against championship or league teams, both would curely have gone through.

[goonerboy93]

still rigged though durr

[laurenlollie]

thats why utd are were against arsenal right..

[SusannaG74]

24? fuck off. back to school you stupid cunt!

[georgebow1996]

that 1 for man u is def 24 but thre is a line under the 4 so it looks like 5

[iloveORTONandCENA]

i think its 25.

[mikepoyner]

Was definatly 25 and he covered the ball up that was 24 to cover up his mistake, i feel most sorry for Bristol City in the draw because dispite them making such good progress in the championship i think that this would have provided them with a really good rare chance playing manchester united

[soulboy22]

well said m8

[GeordieSupporter2]

thats a 25 for me

[GeordieSupporter2]

stoke v newcastle was a hard game and weve got a hard replay

[jordcrew]

its a joke u even think thts u dont need to look at lines the 5 is soooooooooo clear how the hell u thhink tht looks like a 4 i will never no plus he covers the ball for middlesbrough for this his making it hard to see so if he u wanned to look at the other ball for a 2nd opion u cant cause he has coverd his very very sneaky and for ppl say this line under ball lets the fa off they never admitt to a mistake

[jordcrew]

it is clear 25 looks at the bottom of the balls wen villa are called out 24 is differnt

and it looks a clear 25 stop at 00:56 u get a clear picture

[trampolineman124]

u can tell by his face that he is like: o shit i just messed up i knew i should have brought ma reading glasses

[tomcurson]

doesnt matter now both middlesborough and man u went through

[colebrookman]

its wierd..sum times when i look at it the ball looks like 24..but other glances and it looks like 25..:s shame we cnt watch it agen in propre tv quality.

[Samthorley1991]

it is 24

[SignalHacker2k8]

The looks on that guys face is totally dodgy aswell lol definately looks like a 25 to me, and it's strange that the next ball, he's covering the number hmm

[JohnMyersJJM]

Thats definitely 25 how does that look like a four?

[jedlyish]

Better check your next gas and electric bill,

[zmh786]

It says 25
