Yesterday, I published a whinging post about the blog being ruined due to the women's FA Cup being cancelled, and the GKA not being able to travel to the games.
Today, I received this 'ironic' email from the FA:-
'The Football Association is pleased to confirm that it has received approval to conclude the last three rounds of the 2019/20 Women’s FA Cup in the early part of the 2020/21 season, with the Final to be played at Wembley Stadium on Saturday 31 October.
With government guidelines still uncertain as to the level of fans permissible in stadiums, The FA will refund all ticket holders for the postponed final in May.'
Is this email ironic? I'm not quite sure as Alanis Morrissette's definition is much different to mine. I decided to look for a dictionary definition:-
'Happening in a way contrary to what is expected, and typically causing wry amusement because of this.'
According to that definition, the email was ironic as I wasn't expecting it and it caused me wry amusement because of my previous blog post.

The Women's FA Cup is back on, and at last, the FA has committed to refunding the cost of the ticket that I'd bought to the final that was supposed to happen back in May. I'd already been refunded for my quarter final ticket between Everton and Chelsea.
Win, win, win...
