The FA Cup 2018-19

[Rorschach]

How did that not go in

 

[Jordinho]

Swansea with some Liverpoolesque luck here.

 

[the dza]

This is just the football gods conspiring to give us false hope before our tie against them. Phuckers.

 

[the dza]

Ref could barely wait to give that penalty, qunt.

 

[the dza]

OMG what a lucky phucking penalty as well! Gutted Swansea.

 

[Rorschach]

That wasn't a pen.

 

[Kandi1977]

fudging sterling with a fudging disgusting dive! Gets the pen. fudging cheat! Should get banned at least 10 games for that!

To be fair, I don't think it was a dive. They are running at full-pelt, players tend to tumble when there's a tackle in that scenario. But CCV got the ball in the tackle. Was not a penalty.

Not seeing that myself

 

[ricky2tricky4city]

Some of the saves and blocks from Swansea (Inc CCV) have been immense.

 

[Kandi1977]

If sterling doesn't get a ban for that, the FA can fudge right off. That's not something we want to see in football

Ccv didn't touch him. It's a blatant dive. Sterling sees the tackle, and just collapses because he thinks he will be caught. Blatant cheating, and well worthy of a lengthy ban!

Whatever it was it was not a penalty. Refereeing ?


Well played Swansea!

 

[Jordinho]

Bad enough when the ref didn't book Laporte for a cynical foul in the first half, but someone obviously had a word with him at HT.

Why's VAR not available today?

Now a second goal that wouldn't stand.

 

[Rorschach]

offside goal

You are allowed to go over on a soaking wet pitch when running quickly and being tackled imo. Players always end up on their arse when attacking the by-line and getting tackled. Wasn't a pen, wasn't a dive imo.

And now City go and get an offside goal...

kin hell.

 

[Rorschach]

Why's VAR not available today?

Just the second goal that wouldn't stand.

or the third

 

[Kandi1977]

1 undeserved pen, and 1 clear offside goal. fudge off lucky cheats! Hope we destroy them in the CL!

 

[Jordinho]

This is much better than having those pesky VAR delays though.
