"Mark Mason: This ref is a joke. Read rules. Player allowed to feint in run up. Ball went into net, should be a retake at least. Must be an Arsenal fanny I reckon"

this has just slayed me :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Partly because I genuinely feel it to be true, and partly because I hope my words will make me look like a dick at full time if I'm wrong, I have to say that Llorente doesn't look fit to lace either Janssen or Soldado's boots right now, and I had MAJOR problems with Soldado.

Commentator: The whole nation is loving this

What? The game being brought into disrepute?

Every neutral I know who is watching has been whatsapping me saying it’s an absolute joke

Those enjoying it aren’t real football fans and just want controversy, no more.

It’s absolutely ruined this game as a proper sporting spectacle. It’s mkaing a mockery of the game

If I had action on this game, I'd be fucking infuriated and demand the FA pay me back if I lost. Thats how much of a shambles this has been. Ruining the game and really seems like a fix is in its so bad.

Haven't been this angry watching us since Foy officiated us against Stoke in 'that' game.

First goal completely legitimate. Understand why he chalked off Son's but if you're doing that then their players were infringing in the box so should have been retaken with no yellow card.

Farcical stuff. Someone's on the take here...

Irony of irony BT Sport have Chris Foy defending this shitshow.

Get the fucking big guns on and put this to bed for good I say. We need to go through no matter what the circumstances.
Not sure the big guns will help. Once again, we are struggling to control the midfield. Maybe bring Sanchez on and move Dier or Foyth to CM

If each and every decision is being reviewd by var, then the football game is going to be longer than test cricket

Nutty old FA cup tie. VAR's just adding to it. But, it's what often happens in the cup. Crazy stuff; that's why City and Liverpool ain't in it. We need to match their desire out there; we have the ability and cool heads etc., but we need some drive. Match their grit, and get Dele on in place of Sissoko.

This referee is such an idiot. VAR is horrible. We'll end up with a red by the end of the game.

First goal legit.
Penalty should have been a free kick.
Son stopped and so penalty was illegal.
Players encroaching on penalty..?..

I think VAR is the right thing but only at the right time. This ref is now using it to justify all decisions which is wrong....

To be honest I still don’t think it’s a penalty. Unless they changed the rule, it’s always been where the foul started that counts.
Pretty sure it's been if the foul continues into the box it's a penalty for a while.

It's been a farce but hope Poch is telling them to draw a line under it stop wasting energy whining to the officials and just put this game to bed. Kane and Dembele on please.

Unreal this VAR shit. The game is finished if they don't iron this out. Why can't the fucking ref make the decision. Diabolical. That said all the controversy aside, we haven't turned up again against MUCH weaker opposition, mind you we looked totally disjointed after the VAR crap...

Not sure what I have just watched and it’s not football. The ref is loving being the star of the show

He won’t be loving it when his face is plastered on the back page of every paper tomorrow with the headline labelling him as a complete bellend.

Fucking bizarre. Reminds me of a snowy game when we lost to Notts forest in the fa cup to two Ian woman free kicks. Or did we draw and get a replay?

What has happened to winks? Every time they break and attack out defence we look vulnerable as there is no protection.
