FA Cup 2023/24

[TheHoddleWaddle]

looks a red to me

Ha. Opposite view. In real time it's slight.

 

[mark87]

Is that really a red card???

 

[philll]

More contact there than Bissouma's red.

 

[Monkey boy]

Never a red card but in this day and age you can see why it’s been given

 

[k1cks77]

I think that’s ridiculous in slow motion… didnt see it in real time but not a red for me.

 

[nidge]

Wow, a red card for that?

 

[tommo84]

That’s not a red for me - no excessive force in that challenge. It is high and studs up so I get why it’s given, but I just don’t think it’s excessive force and I thought that was one of the requirements for it to be a red(?).

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Poor decision imo. Barely touched him. Barely a yellow.

 

[Monkey boy]

So if Everton go out here then I think that means that DCL would be suspended for our game.

 

[theShiznit]

This whole farce of pretending the referees have any option but to do what they're told when looking at the monitor has to stop.

You know that will be overturned on review but because some plum on VAR thinks that was a bit naughty they tell the ref to send him off.

And why were they showing the ref the replay at Benny hill speed?

First bit of excitement in this match

First bit of excitement in this match

Been a crap game

 

[k1cks77]

Does the red mean he misses the league games too right?

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

That's another example of refs being told how to apply the laws. Imo. As opposed to making a judgement.

I get it as we all moan about consistency. But you end up with a really soft red like that. Which is just a detrimental to the game. (In my opinion of course)

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

First bit of excitement in this match

It's not going to go down in the hall of FA cup fame for a classic cup tie.

 

[Robbiepope]

Not enough intent or contact for that matter whatever the rule book says. VAR actively looks for red cards which makes them much more likely.

 

[tommo84]

Does the red mean he misses the league games too right?

Yep. They’re due to face Villa next (of course).

 

[George94]

That might be the worse decision in the VAR era yet - never a red card, it's not even a foul

 

[theShiznit]

The magic of the FA cup...
I'd rather watch cloud atlas all the way through than this

I speak the true true...

 

[BorjeSpurs]

Yep. They’re due to face Villa next (of course).

If it's a three game ban it is our game as well, unless a potential replay of this game comes before it.
