Where is he? Not seen him in the celebrations

I would imagine he was being assessed by the medics. He looked unsteady after the ball but him.

Hopefully he is well enough to enjoy the celebrations.

[Trinidad Rover]

Wonderful for Adam and our academy.

Imagine this will be the first of many trophies in his career.

[bigbrandjohn]

So sad not to see him in the celebrations. So proud of him. One of a kind talent. 

[Bohinen1983]

Wonder if he's gone to a&e due to the knock to the head?

Yeah, confirmed concussion checks.

i hope this palace victory brings an end to the mania that possesion is everything,hopefully a new era of tactics has risen with the main focus being scoring goals despite not having much of the ball,palace played a retro game of long balls down the flanks and mateta running the channels,like football used to be

Delighted for Wharton and Palace winning the FA cup and they deserved it. Dean Henderson was outstanding 

[sharpysharps86]

Gutted for Adam that he didn't get to take part in the celebrations on the pitch, but huge congratulations to him and Palace.

Always good to see someone different lift a trophy, and Palace have never won anything major. They deserve it.

[Ferrit]

One of our own, pleased for the lad.

I was surprised when I heard this.

Probably take success for granted, seeing Rovers' rich history across the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
But blew my mind a little than a fairly prominent club like Palace had never won a proper trophy in their history until today.

They won the Full Members Cup

I'd say that was Major

Nah, surely that'd be on par with winning the Auto Windscreens Trophy, or whatever it's called now?

A major domestic trophy would be the top division, FA Cup or League Cup, in my opinion.

Think you're missing the point

Cryptic, but even so, makes absolutely no difference to us unfortunately. 

Might be used to further justify us getting a poor fee though.

[Wheelton Blue]

Any Rovers fan - certainly those of us who were there that day - being 'delighted' for Crystal Bloody Palace winning anything, needs to give their head a wobble.

[K-Hod]

If there’s a bonus, it’ll be good for Venky’s, but not our first team.

I mean, I wasn't there, it was maybe 3 years before I got into football. But from what I infer from the moaning I see, a lot of people are holding a grudge against them for more than 30 years because a referee handled the game poorly and cost us promotion. Which doesn't sound like good reasoning. I'm sure someone can tell me what I'm missing about it.

I just don't give a fuck about them because they're a complete nothing club.

Maybe it's a bit of envy also, Wharton should be celebrating winning the FA Cup with Rovers but thanks to the chicken overlords any opportunities for anything like that have been extinguished. Deliberately.

Agreed. Not even sure why this thread still gets much action.

He left. 

Yes, he was pushed towards the door, but he left. He signed the contract (and his agent was doing a very good job of raising his profile in the 6 months prior to the exit). 

Good luck to him. I even hope to see him back at Rovers at some point in the future, but so long as he isn't here then I have no reason to hope that his clubs do well. 

I was hoping City smashed them. Find Palace fans insufferable.
