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

[Grizz]

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

But it was picked up by VAR, the Ref hadn't even seen it or blown for it, so he can't retrospectively give a free kick. They were just ruling on whether it was a red card. Or that's how I understand it.

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.

Sadly it’s Attwell and Gillett so DOGSHIT is more appropriate.

Palace luck their way to the final and then face an out of form City. Ffs

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

But that's why VAR is crap.

 

[dolphins]

Ooo - a pen for Man City. Fingers crossed.

Trying to park the bus to the cup.

Hope the pen stands

 

[METALMICKY]

That's a penalty!

 

[trueblue]

Gillett desperately scrambling to find a reason to overrule.

 

[pasty]

City pen!

 

[Si Gull]

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

You really have to wonder what goes through VAR's minds sometimes. Couldn't have been a clearer dogso and red card.

 

[jonny.rainbow]

Don’t rule this out Gillett you wassock

 

[Hendrax]

Pen!

 

[LamieRobertson]

Wasn’t that a dive?

 

[clapham_gull]

Please City, I'm near enough to hear the groans.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Very soft in my opinion but I'll take that every day.

Hopefully there isn't a Palace sympathiser in VAR.

 

[Zeberdi]

Penalty - surely !!

 

[Washie]

Very soft in my opinion but I'll take that every day.

Hopefully there isn't a Palace sympathiser in VAR.

Did you not just see the Henderson debacle?

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Blimey. A penalty decision that Atwell gets right.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

And Henderson in goal when he shouldn't be. Guess what will happen.

Wasn’t that a dive?

Exactly that.
