Please. Get a grip. Seriously??? I'm all for not being arrogant n' all that. But, seriously???

Yes seriously. Takes one off day and we’re out. I fully expect us to go through, however it won’t be as easy as people think. The lower league sides are more often than not bang up for these ties. United won’t have it easy either.

Anyone catch who Arsenal got?

Love the draw but Newport have a famously shit pitch. Critical that we don't get injuries to key players on that surface.

Big dilemma for poch with united 3 days later and then Liverpool arsenal. Big guns on bench for me if needed.

Goldie Lookin' Chain, your boys are going to take one hell of a beating...

Anyone catch who Arsenal got?

Yeah...they got a "BYE".

 

[TheChosenOne]

I hardly think WBA for Pool is an easy draw to be honest.

West Brom v The Fab Four Three ?

 

[riggi]

They'll beat us.

 

[Gb160]

This game is turgid.

[tiger666]

Some goal that.

 

[mark87]

What a great goal that was.

 

[Gb160]

Screamer from Murray.

 

[mark87]

Screamer from Murray.

They kneeded it.

 

[mark87]

Bloody hell, BT trying their hardest to make sure the game ends in controversy saying the Murray goal was handball, it fucking well wasn't.

Get VAR in to end some controversy, make stuff up to generate some controversy.

 

[dirtyh]

Nothing beats...

It really is pathetic.

What I don't understand is, if the ref can refuse to view the VAR then what is the point in having it in the first place?

On the match report it reads "Referee Andre Marriner did not see the need to refer to VAR as Murray steered the ball in from close range despite Palace's calls for handball (87)"

Well, doesn't that kind of you know, defeat the whole purpose of VAR? If the ref can just outright refuse to use it then it's pretty fucking pointless lol.

I think each manager should have 3 challenges to refer to VAR throughout a match, even if the official disagrees, then after those 3 challenges VAR can only be used by the official at their discretion, I think that would make it fair.

The ref was obviously very sure it didn't hit Murray's arm and didn't allow himself to get swayed by the palace protests.
