The Emirates FA Cup 2023-24

Chelsea at least get the corner they were owed

doku has made a massive difference

thats a shocking free by mudryk. but what walker did to concede the free is not as bad as the nick jackson peno shout

So corrupted. Sad state of football in England, it will all come out in years to come no doubt

and watch there be not a peep from the pundits. i think they have been told to go easy on ref criticism since the liverpool fiasco

It's amazing he was allowed to take it. Not exactly a technician is he.

well they are second in the net spend charts after Manchester United. PSG third and Arsenal fourth.

You can't tell me with a straight face that that handball against Grealish does not get given against any other team.

As a Liverpool fan, it's levels worse than the Doku one, which is saying something.

Again, it's amazing how rarely those decisions go against City.

To give the corner would be to confirm it hit the hand, they claimed AGAIN, that it didn't hit the hand, just like they claimed Doku won the ball against MacAllister, when again it was clear he didn't.

I didn't see the match, but why was MacAllister playing tonight?

Oliver has been referee when...

Doku kicked MacAllister. No pen.

Grealish blatant handball today. No pen.

Kovacic not given a red at the Emirates for a blatant 2nd yellow.

Was fourth official when the ref didn't give a penalty for Hojlund's 'pull' on Rodri at Old Trafford, but he overturned it.

Says the chap with such a clear axe to grind against another team over the course of years.

Personally I think it's a bit less about conspiracy's anyway, and more about repeated ineptitude to an extent that warrants retraining etc.

Though I think it's fair enough to say that refs should not be allowed to do paid outside work for organisations to which the people they are supposed to be reffing belong. Like, whether or not it leads to any bias (subconscious or otherwise), the mere possibility of it should make that such a clear cut and dried decision. At very least the veneer of impartiality has to be maintained as much as possible.

That's a shocking mistake from the Coventry keeper to gift Man United the lead.

Another fortunate goal for Man United and that's pretty much it. That should go down as an own goal.

They're giving it to Fernandes but I don't see how. It was going across the goal(wide) and instead deflects in at the near post.

The BBC can't help themselves, acting like it took the merest of flicks.

3-2. Coventry with a 2nd goal. They deserved that luck after "Fernandes'" goal. O'Hare given the goal as well.

Torp almost with an equaliser from a torpedo of a shot. Unfortunately it was to close to Onana. I thought the Coventry player was taken out in the box just before the shot.

Penalty to Coventry

Penalty for Coventry. Please go in. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

3-3. Brilliant! This is already a big story no matter what happens in the added time, extra-time or beyond.
