Prefer Brighton's fans to Millwall's. Millwall fans cause trouble a lot. Hate that club.

Did that make sense to you when you wrote it?

More discussion about why VAR wasn't at all ties due to a bad decision. FA is once again not looking great from this

 

You can kinda understand they don't have the trained staff or resources to have it at 30 odd games simultaneously in the earlier rounds, but not to have it at ALL  1/4 finals and even round five matches where most games are staggered for TV anyhow is ludicrous and embarrassing to say the least. Round five onwards also most likely to involve championship and Premier league teams anyhow but even if there is a Newport im sure it can be done. Even more embarrassing is that Swansea has already hosted a VAR game last season when they had Premier league status. 

 

Reasons it's not? 

Money? Maybe 

Pandering to bigger sides/sponsors ? Maybe 

 

Resources? Maybe

 

No actual will or balls, to make it work only excuses ? Definitely. 

 

Who knows, with VAR we may have had Swansea playing Brighton. But as there is an ever increasing amount of people in the fa & media playing with themselves over a quadruple that obviously would never do.

Seeing the last four teams left makes it more annoying that City didn't have a go in the competition.  ManCity aside, the other three you can argue are of similar size /statue clubs to us.Comparable home gates with Wolves/Brighton. No "real" danger of being relegated midtable clubs aspiring to be the best of the rest . . And at least one of those other three will be in the final. And as Wigan showed, ManCity can be beaten, at Wembley. 

If not for bias / bad luck Swansea would be there too. 

Bookies make it a Wolves ManCity final, but Brighton v Watford as a final is still a lot less than 5000-1 so it could happen

Well, if the draw would have worked out the same with us in it (which I don't believe in, dynamics would have changed but let's assume it would have been the same), then we would have been knocked out by Man City anyway.

Man City already 1-0 up on Brighton inside 4 minutes.

[surrifox]

Brighton’s record signing , Jahanbaksh is almost as crap as ours 

[kingfox]

Kyle Walker, what a mardy arse cvnt.

[Kasey Keller]

Var and no red wtf?

[Goober]

Walker has to get sent off for that. Shocker

[TheUltimateWinner]

Still can’t believe Walker didn’t get a red, just shows VAR is useless if you still have an incompetent ref behind it.

[Carl the Llama]

The commentators were even defending Walker there, wtf.  A cynic would suggest that the VAR team are using the imprecise wording of a "clear and obvious error" by the ref and the fact a yellow was given on the spot to allow the bigger club some benefit of the doubt.  Plus ca change.

[TheUltimateWinner]

No one wants players rolling around but if the Brighton player fell backward holding his face walker would’ve been gone.

oh dear some watford fan said they're like a bag of revels. 

[Carl the Llama]

Anybody else think Yaya sounds a bit like the Moon from Mighty Boosh?

[reynard]

One of the dullest matches I've seen in ages. Brighton barely seem to want to even try and attack.

Hope the 2nd half is better. Man City look happy just to keep it at 1-0 and not expend too much energy.

Must have nicked it from Paul Merson as he always says that about us !

 

Not sure that segment went down well on Twitter .

 

Our fans never seem to come across well on TV.

Lots of empty seats. I hate FA Cup semi's being held at Wembley.

[Jaspa]

Man City really do get away with alot of tactical fouls right at the start of being broken upon with a counter attack, it never really punished by refs if the offence happens in the opposing half, one more ball through and it's just as dangerous as any other counter.

Man City fans saving themselves for the final and other big games?

 

Think Wolves have sold out - us not quire but still taking 30k or so which is 10k more than our average.
