Ah, but I watched the 1991 FA Cup Final in Amsterdam in preference to isiting the red light district.
So if you say that you've been invited to bizarre sex show, but have decided to watch the football instead then you'll probably score brownie points with Mrs Darth.

I was at the 1991 FA Cup Final
Paul Gascoigne should have been sent off in the first minute for kicking Garry Parker in the FACE but wasn't even booked. A red card would have prevented him from horribly injuring himself when he tried to cut Gary Charles in half. Stuart Pearce scored one of the best FA Cup Final goals ever, Mark Crossley became only the second goalkeeper ever to save a penalty at Wembley, from Gary Lineker (the first, Dave Beasant, would later join Crossley on Forest's books) and then we went and fucking well lost in extra time when Des Walker, the best English centre-half since Bobby Moore, headed into his own fucking net.

Happy times

Don't exagerate Darth. Gascoine only kicked Parker in the chest.
& Pearce's goal should have been disallowed due to pushing in the wall.
Plus winning by Walker's own goal was karma for having lost to Coventry in '87 due the admirable Gary Mabbutt's own goal.
And, Spurs had to win to allow them to complete a remarkable record of cup wins when the year ended in a 1.(20th century only)

Oh yes, I feel much better now
A few points

a) a kick in the chest is still a red card offence unless you're Nigel de Jong, apparently
b) bollocks; also, pushing Spurs players is perfectly acceptable form on account of Spurs being cunts
c) Mabbutt's own goal was hilarious; Walker's was not

Of course, both of Gascoine fouls should have been red cards. The ref (I think it was Roger Milford)
has admitted that he should have sent him off.

Wasn't Gary Charles sent to prison a little while back?

I believe so
That's what you get for sodomising sheep outside of Derbyshire.

Impressive referee knowledge there
