[Football] Men’s FA Cup Final Match Thread - KO 16.30***

[Triggaaar]

Should be red

But of course not given

 

[pasty]

Have I missed a rule change? Thought keeper deliberately handling outside the area was a straight red?

 

[Miximate]

Surely outside the area?

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Shearer is talking nonsense. The ball is going away from goal because Henderson thumps it just as Haaland was about to toe it forward.

Surely outside the area?

Ridiculous decision.
Should be free kick and sending off

It's almost like they're trying to f*** things up

 

[El Turi]

Of course it’s denying a goal scoring opportunity as if he got past Henderson, there was no goalkeeper.

 

[trueblue]

So the officials think Haaland can’t score that chance. If Henderson doesn’t handle it, he’d have had to clatter him or let him go. Can’t have seen Haaland play much!

Shocking decision.

I think they are saying it was outside the area but it wasn’t deemed DOGSO so nothing doing.

Surely it was DOGSO though. If Henderson doesn’t handle, Haaland is running right at goal.

That’s what I thought ….but it’s Shearer, so nonsense is guaranteed

 

[Birdie Boy]

Surely VAR involved in a red card incident?

 

[SeagullsoverLondon]

Ridiculous decision.
Should be free kick and sending off

Even if not Denial of Goalscoring opportunity, ref should have given a free kick and booking

 

[Solid at the back]

This is very depressing. They're gonna win this 3 nil

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Even if not Denial of Goalscoring opportunity, ref should have given a free kick and booking

I guess VAR thinks it is not a clear and obvious error,

Bizarre.

 

[macbeth]

So so incredibly lucky. It really is unbelievable

 

[hampshirebrightonboy]

Don’t think Henderson even got a yellow

 

[Bozza]

Even if not Denial of Goalscoring opportunity, ref should have given a free kick and booking

Ref can’t take it back unless it’s deemed red card.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Even if not Denial of Goalscoring opportunity, ref should have given a free kick and booking

Yes but I don't think he can if he didn't give it straight away. VAR can't award a free kick.

 

[Triggaaar]

Surely it was DOGSO though. If Henderson doesn’t handle, Haaland is running right at goal.

Exactly. As pointed out above, its only going away from goal because Dean handles it
