2018-19 FA CUP

Late equaliser for Newport and it’s full time there and at Shrewsbury. Two replays there.

Mr.Nice Guy

Would have been a great result for Shrewsbury but I'm pleased for Doherty that he saved his team.

Aiden O'Brien, Shaun Williams and Seamus Coleman all involved in Millwall's game with Everton coming up on BBC.

Harry Palmr

Jonathan Pearce in full jumpers for goalpost mode waxing lyrical about Millwall and their dog and duck values.

Mr.Crinklewood

'Keeper!!

facehugger99

Coleman’s legs have gone.

No pace anymore.

Mr.Nice Guy

Mad that Millwall goal is allowed to stand.

Harry Palmr

What the hell is Kilbane waffling about? The Millwall player was already moving forward when the ball ricochets off his arm.

blueser

Everton shafted there.

eagle eye

Referee has always been awful. A lot of stuff went on in the box there, it should have been handed to VAR.
The system is being used right everywhere I've seen it in use but not in England for some insane reason.

eigrod

Ita weird one. If it was a defender you would be saying 100% no penalty, but still to score a goal where the ball comes off the attacker’s arm is hard to argue as a legal goal.

It’s not in use here...Millwall not a PL ground

Mr.Nice Guy

Ha, the Millwall coach doesn't want it shown on screen.

Harry Palmr

I just replayed it at 1/8th speed, the arm is actually static when the balls hits it and then it swings slightly forward but the ball was already leaving his arm when this takes effect.

Turtyturd

Ha.

Mr.Nice Guy

Man, Everton have been robbed in this one.

Harry Palmr

Hilarious.

Say what you like Everton never got far enough ahead and were terrible on set-pieces.

The commentators said it was an option.

Everyone robbed by awful refereeing.

That result will not have come as much of a surprise to any Evertonian..

Not remotely 'shocking' or 'surprising'

Yep; I've got no great love for them, but they've been done there. To be fair, they probably didn't deserve much more, as it was a poor display by them. But the second Millwall goal should not have stood.

Meh.. doesn't excuse not being able to defend basic set pieces.

It's been the same story all season.

There is no Var in this game. Only games this round with VAR are Arsenal v Utd
Man City v Burnley, Newcastle v Watford, Palace v Spurs, Chelsea v Shef Wed

Only themselves to blame that they’re not going back to Goodison for a replay. No excuse to lose that 3rd goal. Absolutely woeful defending for the third.

Hammer Archer

Wimbledon doing well so far. Dylan Connolly is the best player on the pitch.

So surreal. They are my second team and up until this month he was a regular of the bar I work. Hoping he bangs one in

If the second goal was ruled out as it should have been then at worst they'd have a replay. They might have even held on to win.

Wimbledon are 2 up on West Ham.
That'll be a turn up for the cup.

Hammer Archer

3-0 is fully deserved.

LuckyGent88

Cracking well worked goal from Wimbledon. That should seal it

ShooterSF

Cmon the dons!!!

eigrod

Only Rnd 5 but already it’s hard to look beyond Manchester x 2 or Chelsea for the 2019 winners

Iused2likebusts

7 PL teams maximum in the last 16.

Harry Palmr

Amazing day and more still to come. FA Cupsets abound.

Mr.Nice Guy

West Ham knocked out by League One's bottom side in a game where a former LOI player gave the PL outfit a torrid time. Everton knocked out by Millwall. Wolves scraping a draw in stoppage time against Shrewsbury.

How good is the Premier League really?

Did those 3 prem sides have full strength teams out?

I can tell you as a wimbledon fan it wasn't our "first" team playing anyway.

No only Everton had a full team out. Jimenez, Jota and Moutinho weren't in the Wolves starting lineup. Fabianski, Rice, Arnautovic and Filipe Anderson didn't start for West Ham.

Should probably play that team every week so!

Sitting here 'watching' Hibs v St Mirren wondering the same thing...


edit: maybe the Chelsea game was originally scheduled for early afternoon but was moved to accommodate their Thursday night Carabao Cup game

The Talking Bread

6pm seems bizarre alright? I have never seen a 6pm FA cup game on a Sunday? There has to be a reason?

Cantona's Collars

Millwall being Millwall.

Any hope of Parrott being in the Spurs squad today?

The Fa cup for almost every club is now just an opportunity to rest lads and give squad players a game.

More or less has been for the last 15 years. I never get the outrage about this tbh. The whole fairytale FA Cup spiel has never washed with me. The era to which the media keep harking back to about this was a relatively short one in the 1970s and 1980s. Squads were smaller, there was f all money in the game.
Now you have squad players on 50-60 grand who can't get a run out in the league, and that is just for the mid to lower end of the PL, so perfecct opportunity to give them minutes and try prove themselves.

It is not as if the bigger clubs don't eventually dominate it anyway in the mid to late rounds, so even with their strongest teams out, the likes of West Ham etc would never win it anyway. Wigan was a freak result. City, Arsenal, Chelsea and united have still dominated the Cup for the last 20 years.

Harry Palmr

Palace go ahead.

Jimbob1977

I would love a Champions League place for the FA Cup winner. It would completely revitalise the competition.

Never going to happen though. Shame.

The death knell of the FA Cup was the launch of Champions League group stages in 1994/1995.
