Once upon a time people went to football to escape the petty rules, the finger-wagging, the workplace boredom and bullshit, the humdrum world of officialdom and clipboards, the everyday life of suffocating killjoys and things run by bosses/the government.

Fast forward....they've found our hiding place ffs and are filling it full of their nonsense again.

Where to now?

You'll be OK if you ever play for an FA Cup winning team then. But don't win any Formula 1 races.

sound advice. i'll bear it in mind. i'm afraid the yorkshire in me is winning out over the boy racer part of me, or what's left of him. i'd set a few records if i did play in an fa cup final, that's for sure!

If you do anything with champagne other than drink it, you're a ****.


Spraying it around, all over your peers, identifies you within a homo-erotic symbolic sub-set, parading repressed sexual tension, which although outwardly displaying an outpouring of effervescent posturing, is ultimately an emasculation of the will to power within a stereotypical male role model.


Or for those of you with limited vocabularies; it's a little bit ****ing gay.

Spot on Ernie, Champagne is for drinking not wasting it by spraying it all over the place. However, having said that, the FA reasons for changing to non-alcoholic stuff really is twattery of the first order. What is the country coming to, when the reason they give is for religious grounds. We are a Christian country and we drink wine in church FFS.
 
Not a champagne bottle in sight. What it was like before all this politically correct bollocks. When football was football and not some circus for the benefit of Sky

They never had the champagne on the pitch, Obi. And never gave it out at World Cups. And the tradition at Cup Finals has nothing to do with SKY. But you can bet with the likes of Moore, Charlton etc plenty of something alcoholic will have been downed after the match.
 
The FA Cup Final one year later, still no champagne. Jimmy Greaves would have drank plenty of alcohol after both matches but isn't that irrelevant?

Any clips of a Champagne free dressing room, the dressing room being where they left the champagne, not on the pitch?

Your point is? If the players get covered in fizzy water on the pitch what do you think they'll be drinking in the dressing room? I hope it would be a nice cup of tea, sadly I'm no longer that naïve.

Why on earth would you hope someone would celebrate winning a cup by drinking a cup of tea?
And what about people who prefer coffee?
 
If you are genuinely annoyed about this, then you really need to take a look at yourself in the mirror. I mean honestly, who gives a **** if it is alcohol free champagne? None of us on here will ever be in that position anyway so it won't impact us. They've taken a decision that respects the religion of a handful of players who will be playing or in the match day squads so that they can take part in what has become a traditional post match winners celebration. What the **** could possibly be wrong with that?

Whilst I would never condone pandering to the snowflakes and their perceived sensibilities, chucking the stuff around like confetti does seem like a waste of expensive wine. I'm sure Evian or Shloer would do just as well.
