I was only 6 years old.

I was only 4 years and 7 months old but it doesn't stop me banging on about it as it's the biggest thing we have ever won

Oh and I don't think I had ever even heard of Swindon never mind Swindon Town at that point but again, it doesn't stop me...............

I can well understand it feeling special to beat The Arsenal.

As a Swindon fan it feels special to beat anyone! But being 2 divisions below the Arse when beating them has to be extra special

I think penalties is a terrible way to decide a result, why can't these matches go to a replay as they did years ago, I remember in the 1970's Chelsea V Leeds in the FA cup final, it was a draw after extra time at Wembley so they had a replay at Man U the following week when Chelsea won, far better than penalties, the other thing they could do is after extra time has been played go to another period of play and the first team to score wins and the match ends there.

Today a football match is a TV event and TV companies like their events to start/end at predicted times.

Yeah - but BBC didn't show it until 23.15hrs.
It's not Andy's fault I won't pay Sky a penny for their offerings but just think about folks like me before broadcasting the result please. Apart from that, with the thread all about footie (

) I was just surprised to see the cricket result.
