have the rules changed (I hear), that was a red was it not if it was a foul?

Nice penalty though and I like that camera angle from behind the player BT sport do, it looks CGI

Looked like there was a defender who could have got back on the line

Not relevant. Not a red even if there was no keeper in the goal.

Yes they have. So long as the ref considers that he was at least trying to get the ball, then a pen and a yellow is the correct punishment.

No way was he in any position to challenge legally, it was a tackle from behind

Is it just me who finds Abide With Me a boring dirge , which evokes no feelings , other than a wish to get it over with?

Just you. Major part of the ceremony when I was a child and watched the cup finals in the early 60s.

Struggle to understand the neutral's interest personally. It's not as though you'd want either team to win.
Absolutely. But which team represents the lesser of the two evils?
Its not like its the oldest competition in football or anything.
That argument would have held up 2 decades ago. But the FA, Man United and the changes to football in recent years have massively devalued the competition.
