FA Cup 22/23

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

i remember when Lee Dixon started on MOTD2 more than a decade back he was really good, insightful, a really good voice to have – now he's going on as some Lawro tribute act who probably thinks coloured boots are for "jessies" while Sam Matterface reels off his puns with about 100 degrees of separation. So shit.

What was the first FA Cup Final you remember?

Chelsea vs Middlesbrough in 1997. The Di Matteo goal in off the bar after about a minute?

42 seconds I think. Was the quickest FA Cup final goal until Saha scored for Everton in 2009 after 25 seconds.

I do like Mowbray. Good manager, very Inoffensive. And for an “old boy” plays fantastic football. 
 

Great fit for Sunderland really!

100% this. He went from very insightful to complete shit instantly, dont think there was even an inbetween stage.

[The Bear]

The worst thing with Lee Dixon is he says "tattle" instead of "tackle". Once you hear it you'll never un-hear it!

[trabuch]

This match is reminding me that football can be entertaining.

[SkidsFox]

Enjoying this so far. 

Now Elliott's gone and spoilt it by scoring

Blatant handball. What's the point in VAR???

Has to be by the scorer doesn’t it ?

One back.

In an era where players like Conor Coady and Tyrone Mings have been regulars in the squad, Lewis Dunk can consider himself very unlucky to have just the one England cap imo

Liverpool getting away with it (again).

Why are VAR not looking at that? I thought they looked at potential red cards, regardless if it’s in the box or not?

[filbertway]

Thats a red. Don't see how VAR can watch that Fabinho challenge and not give a red.

If the MacAllister one is a possible red card offence, why does VAR not review it? (I know why but it makes no sense). The rules are a shambles regarding VAR. Refs made an error, but because a foul isn’t given, it’s not reviewed. 
 

VAR could be a fantastic asset to football if it was implemented properly.

[Brainy]

Absolute and utter LiVARpool on show here

Two red cards in 5 minutes!!!

 

**** off you scouse *****!!

[Fox forever]

Red all day 

[reporterpenguin]

Do Liverpool fans still genuinely think VAR is against them?

[Raj]

If it wasnt the darlings of football that' should have been a red card for forbinho.

Its liverpool...move on...

[Soar Fox]

Imagine the outrage from Klopp if it was a Brighton player going in like that on Salah

[Guest kristianity77]

If that was a Brighton player doing that then that's a red.  It's just big team bias yes again, and it's not even hidden any more.
