    Its not disrespectful to the 90 odd people who died if they played on the day,

    If they have to play on the 15th then they should especially when Chelsea have a mid week game v Barca and could have done with their FA cup semi being on the saturday.

    They should have had priority

    Now of course he's recieved dogs abuse and death threats on Twitter.

    Internet warriors.
    The annoying thing is - he seems to be affected by it. Issued apologies and keeps responding to the twats.

    You can expect the TC podcast to be very watered down now.

    It's not just about being respectful. It's not a case of the club just having a day off, we also have the memorial which we think should take precedence and which all of the players and staff attend.

    The idea that any sort of football game has priority over a club's wishes to remember dead fans is ridiculous.

    That's not to say I don't think the FA shouldn't have helped Chelsea out with the semi final etc, but not at our expense. The idea we'd play an Fa Cup semi final on the 15th is absurd as well.

    I can understand other peoples' puzzlement with our stance, I can also understand those who say we could play on the date and still honour them, but that along with whatever United or Bradford or whoever do on 6 Feb or 11 May is wholly irrelevant.

    As for Alan Davies, he said it in a crass way, he's apologised (and I understand made a donation to the HJC), move on. I'm far less bothered about things like that and far more interested in those who still spout the bile and hatred with regards to Hillsborough to this day. As for the keyboard warriors, they're no better.

    I like Alan Davies but he is a bit of a cock on The Tuesday Club.

    Nonsesne Chelsea should get priority what 4,its been known for ages pool don't play on that day and rightly so and chelsea and the fans knew that.

    Chelsea are at home anyway in the Cl so whats the big deal, even in the cup, its only down thw road.

    And what about all those pool fans who have paid for hotels what where they meant to do.

    If Liverpool don't want to play on the 15th, that is fine so long as no other team is disadvantaged. The authorities in question should try to move the fixture if it doesn't cause a pile-up for the opposition, but in this case, it just wasn't possible with Chelsea still in 3 competitions. So Liverpool should've been made to forfeit the game.

    IMO Alan Davies said nothing wrong at all. He wasn't mocking the event - he described it as the worst in his memory regarding football. Taking the piss a bit out of the other clubs and managers is fine too. But he wasn't taking the piss in this instance - he was annoyed that Chelsea were disadvantaged from it and had to accept it...and he's right. If we were in Chelsea's position, we'd be fuming. Or, at least, I would.

    True, Really did not see no need for both Everton and Pool to Travel all the way to London. Could have played this game at 6pm at old trafford on Sat, and Chelsea vs Spuds ar 12pm at Wembley on Sat.

    Well our game could easily have been rearranged.

    If it wasn't for the FA needing to pay off the Wembley bill our semi final could be played at a different ground so both semis are played on the same day.

    The fact two northern teams need to travel to London is nonsensical anyway.

    There's also a 2 day gap [for the record by that I mean, for example, playing on the 22nd and then 25th] between your game against Chelsea and the away leg of the Barca semi, why aren't they asking for that to change too? Surely that's an even more strenuous run with travel etc.
    Plenty of teams have had 2 day gaps between two important games, this is no different, and they won't be the last to have to do so either.

    Cos Chelsea are still in the CL and Liverpool arent?

    Being at home or away doesnt make a difference

    And wtf does your last line have to do with anything? If the FA hadnt bent over for Liverpool then the fans wouldnt have booked hotels etc for the saturday but would have for sunday
