Final Whistle (120 Mins )

I wouldn't have left early if I was having a heart attack

BUT I would have left IF one of the junior tigers didn't feel well no matter what stage of the game

We all would do if we had young uns with us

 

As a matter of interest, did your not feeling well necessitate you to leave early?

 

Wish I had been able to go in the first place, Mr Hat.

Only ever left one game early and that was in 1969.

 

x2 Clapped our players, watched them get their medals and left just before Arsenal were presented with the cup. Was very surprised to see a large number of Arsenal fans on Wembley way at the same time who must have left before the cup was presented.... shameful.

 

I stayed, first and foremost as a Hull City fan, to applaud the players and see them off the pitch. It was the least they deserved after that, couldn't leave them on their own to watch Arsenal lift the cup.

As a football supporter, I also stayed to watch Arsenal lift the cup. Seeing a team lift a major trophy in the flesh is one of those things that you can say you've seen, if I was there as a neutral I'd have stayed to watch it so don't see why I shouldn't have on Saturday.

Plus who could leave before getting the chance to applaud Stevie Bruce and show gratitude for the fantastic season he's delivered for us?

 

Think many of them don't know the rules or traditions of football and may well be tourist plastic types who don't even know about the presentation etc.

 

I stayed and saw Arsenal get the cup , I didn't applaud Arsenal though , why would I do that ?

 

A lot of their fans applauded our players when they collected their medals, and rightly so.

 

I'm still here.crap match on Sunday though..got my eye on a good seat for the Peru game

 

I stayed to see the lads pick up their medals I have to admit I missed where they were when they got the medals, I was looking at the shadowy bit underneath, didn't think it looked right. Stayed until Curtis left the pitch, I think he was the last one, he was talking to Simone in a suit, may have been Agnew, not too sure. Watched Arsenal pick up the trophy, gave them a slow applause just to be generous, I like to think that had it been the other way round there would have been some Arsenal fans who would have stuck around to see us lift it. I didn't wait for them to come to the pitch though. Don't need to see that!

 

I went for a piss on the final whistle then went back and stood in the exit and watched our players get our medals then decided to do one, there was no chance I was going to watch Arsenal celebrate, why would you?

Having watched the game I was amazed at how many City there was to see them lift the cup, usually the losing end is nearly empty when the winners go up, does it reflect well on City? if anything it shows that we are a sporting lot, not me though I hate losing and losing a cup final ranks number one in my list.

Losing ruined the whole experience for me, we stayed over but I would have gladly gone straight home and sulked.

 

What the hell are you talking about soft lad? I left just after the final whistle for a very good reason that I don't need to explain to you or anybody else. I supported the team vocally throughout the game in 511. So grow up and stop making such stupid statements.

 

It's Tickles, it's his purpose in life & to be fair, he does it well.

 

I too stayed to watch the players get their medals, I'm afraid I wasn't too bothered about seeing Arsenal lift the trophy. I was surprised how many of their fans were already streaming out while walking down Wembley Way though.

 

i turned and said to our lass - look at how many people are rubber necking , pointing at emptying seats , gesticulating at "lesser supporters" , pointing at people pointing at the thinning out of the stadium we were all in unison pointing at so called fans positions around the ground .

 

I stopped briefly to applaud the boys but had a train to catch also. Walking down Wembley Way nearly got myself into trouble when a group of 3 Arsenal fans seeing we were all absolutely gutted were continuously chanting 2 nil and u f**d it up! No class, I'm so glad I support my home team and a proper team! We should be so proud. Yes we have no trophies but at least we don't want our manager stringing up cos We haven't won a trophy in 9 years! Hope they have to wait another 99 years for another one!!

 

Stayed behind until the City players left the pitch, was hard to watch like, seeing the lads looking as distraught as they did.

 

Its called mutual respect, the same reason their players applauded ours and our players applauded theirs.

Although I understand that with so much at stake why some fans would be too disappointed to show some do this.

 

The irony there being they themselves weren't even in the stadium to see their team.
