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

[South Stand Bonfire]

Was that the actually wording?

Something along the lines of it wasn't an “obvious” goal scoring opportunity

 

[dazzer6666]

He handled it outside the box. It’s a red card.

It doesn’t matter where his feet are, it matters where his hand touches the ball.

It’s not the handling outside the box that would be a red, it’s denying a clear goalscoring opportunity - which apparently he didn’t because the ball was going away from goal (…………..because he punched it that way, obvs)

Fair enough, not something I was aware of

 

[Eeyore]

Can someone knock out lineker please

He went out the fourth round against Ally Mcoist

Sorry. Thought you meant they said "for the sake of the game" as the reason not to give it

 

[Triggaaar]

Referee/VAR will give a big decision in favour of City in this second half to try and minimise the shit storm that's going to kick off after the game about Henderson not being sent off.

No chance

 

[dazzer6666]

It's about the hands not the feet. Denying goal scoring opportunity and last man and he's Palace.

It’s about the ball……

 

[AmexRuislip]

Is Shearer on something, bouncing around like he's on something

 

[Flounce]

If Palace win this, it's going to put a MASSIVE downer on the whole of next season.

Wrong, massive downer on this season imo. Next season we’ll just get on with it

 

[BRIGHT ON Q]

Next up....city goal ruled out by VAR

 

[Right Back]

Why is the worst PL referee doing the FA cup final?

 

[WhingForPresident]

Crazy decision not to send Henderson. Surely the ref is going to have to 'make amends'.

 

[Flounce]

Glenn showing his Palace bias…again imo

 

[Steve in Japan]

It's quite disturbing. I thought VAR was going to catch the absolute howlers, the Thierry handball for France etc.

And here we have clear evidence that it's not going to.

I'm with Rooney. Get rid.

 

[Birdie Boy]

It’s about the ball……

No hands on the ball and no handball.

 

[Mustafa II]

Var, huh, what is it good for?

 

[John1066]

Wayne Rooney looks like Glenn Murray’s fat little brother. Are they going to remake The Blues Brothers ?

 

[South Stand Bonfire]

Sorry. Thought you meant they said "for the sake of the game" as the reason not to give it

That was the pundits speaking and my post was a bit misleading in that respect. Apologies.

 

[Scappa]

Var, huh, what is it good for?

Raising the profile of everybody's favorite PGMOL superstars

 

[Hugo Rune]

Rooney:

"If City get the next goal, Palace could cave....."



Come on City. Time for all that big game experience to win out!
