 * I was going by the BBC's broadcast for the formations, but I'll change the colours of the GK shirts. Looks like they used the wrong ones in the BBC graphics. – PeeJay 19:39, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * It's more important tactical line up of graphics of the tv with official broadcast of FA Cup as show the video of my link.--95.247.111.129 (talk) 19:45, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * What makes you think your broadcast was official? – PeeJay 19:56, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Nothing. I think this. I see the match accross my tv on Sky Sport. So I think the official broadcast line up it's to follow for the file image.--95.247.111.129 (talk) 20:27, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay, well I saw the match on the BBC here in the UK, where the match was played, so I'm inclined to go with their assessment than whatever you saw. – PeeJay 20:39, 19 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Ok.--95.247.111.129 (talk) 20:45, 19 May 2018 (UTC)

Petition to bring back match programme
Compared to most other smaller matches, the FA Cup Final is one of the more important ones, and several other FA Cup Finals which are good articles also have the match programme. In the GA Review, the reviewer mentions a discussion on non-free match programmes, however, that discussion was on random league and cup matches, not cup finals.

 * It doesn't matter whether the match is a random league game or a cup final, unless the design of the programme is mentioned specifically or it could be argued that the programme is the primary visual representation of the match, we can't justifiably claim Fair Use for including an image of the programme in the article. When it comes to Champions League finals where a visual identity is properly established for each one, we might be able to get away with it, but that's not the case for the FA Cup final. – PeeJay 14:51, 20 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Quite so. The significance or otherwise of the article is irrelevant to the correct application of fair use.  The use of programme images doesn't enhance the readers understanding of the subject in any sense.  Thus it clearly fails FUC8 which states Contextual significance. Non-free content is used only if its presence would significantly increase readers' understanding of the article topic, and its omission would be detrimental to that understanding.  Ask yourself, does omitting the programme front cover make it more difficult for our readers to understand the article?  The Rambling Man (Hands! Face!

Convert templates
Are these really needed? Although not all readers will be familiar with how far a yard is, those distances are usually just estimates, while a conversion template implies that the distance was properly measured. Maybe instead of saying "from 25 yards", we should say "just outside the penalty area" or something like that? – PeeJay 10:33, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I don't see a major problem with the use of convert templates here. I think "25 yards" is much clearer for our readers than "just outside the penalty area" as it's known in absolute terms.  We could add "around" in front of "25 yards" if the precise measurement issue is deemed too problematic. The Rambling Man (Hands! Face! Space!&#33;!&#33;) 10:38, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Doesn't bother me enough to change it, I just wanted to sound off about something I noticed. – PeeJay 11:11, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
