A goal goes in, the crowd go wild, players are jubilant and then 2 minutes later as the game is restarted the goal is ruled out ....that just ruins everything that this game is about.  That adrenaline that we all turn up for....

VAR has to go.

Once the game has restarted they can't go back on the decision but I get your point. The emotion of your team scoring is the best feeling in football. Them emotions may have to be held in check whilst someone is reviewing the incident in a studio miles away. The powers that be and suits probably won't have had that feeling.

It happened the weekend gone, one team was just about to take a centre....its a joke VAR and not needed in our game.

I get facts based stuff like goal line technology but I'm not having this carry on when it's just a persons view....

So the game had not restarted

I did say "as the game restarted".....irrelevant anyway to the point I'm making....

Aye, can you imagine them ruling Charlie's goal out at Donny last season when the ball was back on the centre.......there would have been a riot

United get Chelsea away. Lovely jubbly. That's another London team and cup holders to boot knocked out.

I must admit I'm rooting for Utd at present. Never thought I would have said this.

[Mattyblue]

Not bothered which one of them goes out. 

But it means that only 2 of the top 6 will be in the quarter finals (at the most). Great for the competition.

Now that's an interesting stance.

How so?

I mean Ole is a likable fella. 

Is it the comeback story?  Phoenix from the ashes and all that.

Or is it just like most of rest of country? You hate Mourinho?

I enjoyed watching them kill-off Arsenal with simple football. I shall enjoy them doing the same to Chelsea. Perhaps it's because I've fallen in love with Rashford ?.

However, after the Chelsea tie I shall revert to semi hatred (probably).

Barnet have come back from 0-1 to lead Brentford 2-1.

Brentford have a few players who can really smack it from distance so will need closing down from 30 yards out on Saturday.

[philipl]

2-2 now with a penalty

[Husky]

Where is Barnet's VAR?

Disgraceful dive!

Awful decision especially as Barnet should have had a penalty just before Brentford went 1-0.

[JHRover]

Looking at that draw with no Liverpool, Arsenal or Spurs or even West Ham, Everton or Leicester and either United or Chelsea going out in the next round there is a glorious opportunity for an unexpected club to reach the final, perhaps even win it. Wouldn't be surprised now to see Wolves or Watford get to the final, though looks to be City's to lose.

[Tom]

Stunning game between Barnet and Brentford now 3-3

[Husky]

Give me Barnet Brentford over Chelski Man Ure any day.

[Tom]

Some of these Brentford lads can’t half welly a ball

Yes, and another missed opportunity by us.

What? Jesus, forget the cup, we have a play off push to concentrate on. Leave all the other Championship clubs to play extra Cup games. 

[SBlue]

Shameful from that Brentford player. Barnet 100% cheated out of the win.

We should beat this lot on Saturday. Assombalonga will have a field day against their defence.

We at least gave it a go v Toon, no feelings of what might have been here.

I predict a City v United final, just the luck of the draw.....

The red ball will be slightly lighter than the blue ball when the pickers pick, it’s written in the FA stars.

A wild rumour appears!

 

New poster, wrong thread... it’s not very effective!
