Cup upset in Northern Ireland

Posted on 18th January 2011

This is a story from the FSF archive – the FSF and SD merged to become the FSA in 2019.

We don’t know about you but whenever a cup draw comes on TV there’s always part of us praying that someone will make a hash of it. Lo and behold over in Northern Ireland it’s only gone and happened, check out the first ball that gets drawn. The action takes place live from Windsor Park where the guy somehow gets ball #6 confused with #10. Matters are only made worse when #10 comes out (again). Embarrassing or what?
