FAC Q/F v Sheffield United (a) - 19/3/23, 12pm K/O

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Take that.  Average half.  Think Sheffield probably playing better than they have recently.  Hopefully we can step it up a bit second half.  Next goal wins it.

Dolan

[Ricky]

Jobie Mcanuff talking sense. It’s a second yellow for Robinson. Makes no difference if the ref is showing ‘kindness’ ffs Aluko!

[BankEnd Rover]

We’re holding our own but can see United getting on top second half. 
 

Hope I’m wrong.

This is set up for a bit of Dolan Magic..

Both Diaz and Gallagher have been equally as bad

Both on the arse more than their feet, surreal the lack of balance.

The Ref is as bad as fucking Gavin Ward. Crock of shit.

[Tugay-is-God]

Would like to see Wharton in the second half.

Why have a rule book at all - just let the ref base his decisions on ‘feelings’…

Similar to the game at Ewood. They graudally got on top. 

They have some very good players. - Anel, Berge, McAtee and the lad up front.

Show some kindness to us. Simple decision that.

I’m surprised that McCoist wasn’t clear on it being a pen. Also Robinson should have had a second yellow tbf. At least in the studio they are saying clear pen.

I like McCoist as a commentator. 

Penalty all day long. The lad had his hand away from his body and the ball hit his hand. Nothing more to be said.

Why didn't he show Gallagher any kindness? 

"That's unlucky there mate, you know what, I'm feeling kind. Let's chalk that equaliser off shall we?"

[matt83]

Eni has been wrong with just about all of her summary there.

Adam Wharton for morton. Dolan for Gallagher.  Neither player has been good enough 

I'd be tempted to put Brereton in the middle and Dolan in his place on the left. I think we're missing his pace down that side.

Morton's been poor for me. He does good things at times, but I don't think they outweigh his mistakes.

One of the pundits said he was trying to get his hand into a natural position - I think that means it wasn’t in one…

Ndiaye never had a kick at Ewood but he’s a danger man today. We need to quieten him.

Apart from the law saying it has to be deliberate. It wasn’t IMO.

She was wrong in the pre-game too. I had it on in the background and didn't see who the pundits were, but I said "whoever that female pundit is, she's talking nonsense.

Not surprised to find out it's her.

He deliberately had his hand where it was. Nobody was working him.

[Tugay-is-God]

Have we played shame with VAR before?

If we continue to get fouled at the rate we are doing, Morton's dead ball skills are our best hope of a goal through a set piece so not just yet...

Thought the goals were both pretty similar. Just unintended bad fortune but thats life.

Decent game. Enjoyed it. Wouldnt change much about how we're playing.
