With Mrs Whistleblower as fourth official 😛

Mrs W would certainly carry the board with some style and she
would take absolutely no cr*p from the benches. However I worry
that her attention span might start to diminish somewhat after a
few minutes.

It has to be drawn again as they wont come up against Villa home
or away in this round unless var intervenes😂

Whilst I am not suggesting for one minute that any jiggery
pokery goes on, I am always amazed that they put the balls into
a transparent bowl and show the balls in it while the draw is
being made. With monitors scattered around the set, these
images could be visible to the people making the draw. It is
completely unnecessary and makes it so easy for anyone to
suggest that it's fixed. Leave them in the velvet bag!

The old conspiracy theory went that although those drawing the
balls couldn't see them, some of the balls were heated so as to
ensure a home draw. I give that about as much credence as I do
to most conspiracy theories, which is none !

What a weird conspiracy theory. The only people who think it's
fixed are the same sort of people who constantly go on about
corruption at PGMOL on social media.
I'm sure there are enough FA officials around at the draws to
ensure everything is fine and dandy.

I don't believe it's fixed and I'm not attempting to start a
conspiracy theory. I am merely puzzled as to why the FA would
design a process that is open to question when a better
alternative is easily implemented.

I tend to agree with Ref Watcher. I suspect most of us know
normally sensible people who hold the conspiracy theory, without
having any evidence. Perhaps, instead of having so called
celebrities drawing the balls, ordinary fans could be chosen at
random after vetting instead.
Oh for the good old days when we eagerly had our ears to the
radio on a Monday lunchtime to listen to the mystery of the cup
draw
