"Scottish club Queen's Park were allowed a bye all the way to the semi-final stage, and were told that should they defeat their opposition, The Wanderers, they would be allowed to play the final the following day." - this isn't correct, QP did not receive a bye all the way to the semis. They were drawn against Harrow School in round 1, but as the two teams could not agree on match dates they were both (somewhat bizarrely) allowed to progress to round 2, where they were drawn together again. The school team then withdrew, sending QP into round 3 via a walk-over, and QP were then given a bye from round 3 into the semi. So while they did reach the semi without ever playing a match, it was not something that had been agreed from the start of the competition....... ChrisTheDude ( talk) 13:19, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Alfred Stair is listed as the "referee", but the position of "referee" was not introduced until 1881. Contemporary reports list Stair as "umpire". Should we make this change? Grover cleveland ( talk) 20:53, 30 January 2018 (UTC)
Moved as proposed. Discounting the struck sock, there is a close but definite policy-based consensus in favor of the proposed move. BD2412 T 00:24, 15 January 2023 (UTC)
– Per recent RMs at Talk:1930 FIFA World Cup final, Talk:UEFA Women's Euro 1995 final and Talk:1993_UEFA_Champions_League_final, there has been a consensus in recent weeks to render final articles in sentence case rather than in title case, to comply with MOS:CAPS. I've moved some others as uncontoversial, given that they follow the same pattern of having a majority for "final" rather than "Final", but I thought I'd put this one to RM just to be sure, given that ngrams record a slight majority for "Final". However, this clearly is nowhere near the "consistently capitalized in a substantial majority of sources" standard of MOS:CAPS, and between 2007 and 2015 "final" had the lead. So I do think it should be moved as well, also for WP:CONSISTENCY. Cheers — Amakuru ( talk) 17:58, 5 January 2023 (UTC)
Capitalise the first word of the title, and all words within the title except articles (a/ an/the), prepositions (to/on/for etc) and conjunctions (but/and/or etc).per [1] Govvy ( talk) 10:28, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
Liverpool beat Chelsea on penalties to win FA Cup final - recapWith recap after you would lowercase the F. With the Guardian,
That’s it for our FA Cup final blogbecause there is a word after, being blog, another example of when to lowercase. The Telegraph is the odd one out, it is however a full sentence and not using a direct title. However the top of the match summary is all caps again for FA CUP FINAL. This is more about the direct title of FA Cup Final. On its own, not in a sentence. There is a difference. Govvy ( talk) 16:08, 10 January 2023 (UTC)
