FA Cup

[Mr White]

Currently 1 nil to Newport County v Spurs. It would surely go down as one of the most famous cup shocks ever if it stays like this?

[greenlex]

Spurs look awful.

[hibsbollah]

Not a skeletal spurs cup team either. Kane and at least four or five regular starters playing.

[greenlex]

20 mins to go and Spurs don’t look like scoring despite having all the ball.

[J-C]

Spurs have been brutal, maybe the manager being linked to the Real job hasn't helped, still no excuse though, taken this game far too lightly.

[Mr White]

The pitch looks a wee bit gorgie-esque but even so Spurs shouldn't be in this position.

[Scouse Hibee]

Spurs will score

[hibsbollah]

I worked in Newport for a couple of years, a wonderfully mad place. Hope they hold on.

[Mr White]

Spurs will score

Boooo :greengrin

[Scouse Hibee]

1-1

[Scouse Hibee]

Another one to come for Spurs.

[Scouse Hibee]

Another one to come for Spurs.

Another game that is, just in case anyone thought I meant another goal.

[Mr White]

Another gane that is just in case anyone thought I meant another goal

Haha fair play to Newport, the replay is the least they deserve.

[BH Hibs]

If Spurs go on to the semis will their semi be played at Wembley? I can’t see them moving the final from there under any circumstances.

[Scouse Hibee]

Will still be at Wembley.

[Pretty Boy]

Newport are probably more delighted about that equaliser than Spurs are.

[Scouse Hibee]

Big pay day for tbem as well as a trip to Wembley

[CMurdoch]

The Newport chairman will be delirious.
A replay will run their club for a year and push them forward.

[Scouse Hibee]

Two cracking goals already in Liverpool game 1-1

[greenlex]

They are League 2 but will still get a few bob without the FA cup. I’m not so sure the Chairman will be that delighted. Pleased when he thinks about the extra cash but I doubt it will make or break them.

[Scouse Hibee]

2-1 wba ffs

[Mr White]

Turnover of £2m apparently. This should boost that a fair bit.

[hibs#1]

2-1 wba ffs

Liverpool still my favourite English team to watch just now sensational going forward at times. And a bit lax at the back shall we say makes for great viewing,for yourself probably makes you want to pull your hair out 😉

[Mr White]

Oooft.

[SteveHFC]

3-1 West Brom after 18mins.

A shambles at tbe back 1-3

[Mr White]

VAR could save the Scousers bacon here

[Scouse Hibee]

3-1 West Brom after 18mins.

Chalked off by VAR

[Mr White]

Good decision.

[hibs#1]

This ref loves his new toy. Penalty for me.

[greenlex]

Surprised it’s that low to be honest.

[hibs#1]

Penalty given.

[Scouse Hibee]

Penalty decision by VAR yaaaaas

[Mr White]

VAR is going to make the game a lot more stop/start but with more accuracy of refereeing. Maybe the 60 minutes of play idea with the clock stopping when the ball isn't in play could be a good plan.

[hibs#1]

Missed.

[Scouse Hibee]

FFS nearly from 3-1 down to 2-2 would have made a great quiz question.

Its good but that last decision took far too long.

[hibs#1]

FFS nearly from 3-1 down to 2-2 would have made a great quiz question.

Great entertainment though.

[cleanyman]

I hate VAR

Its a farce in Germany, a farce in Italy and total chaos there

Get rid of it

[easty]

Was never a pen.

[yonder1875]

Wasn't a pen imo and to stop the game for 3 minutes is ridiculous.

[Scouse Hibee]

Was never a pen.

No argument it was a penalty!

[greenlex]

Wasn't a pen imo and to stop the game for 3 minutes is ridiculous.

Didn’t see it but if it takes 3 minutes to decide then it isn’t a clear error. Why so long?

[Mantis Toboggan]

Right decision. But waiting for the ref to trott off to the sideline is a bit of a farce. Get the man a holographic mind implant for God's sake.

[Mr White]

Or at least a smartphone with a whatsapp chat with the VAR :greengrin

Finally! The Voice of Reason 👏

[Scouse Hibee]

Just waiting for tbe contentious VAR decision that goes against us later in the game.

[hibbytam]

I agree, they should have to trust the word of the video ref. Just like they would if one of the linesman gave a decision.

You wouldn't say that if Shaws goal had been given via Var.

Or indeed one of the other decisions given against us.

[Scouse Hibee]

3-1 down now anyway.

[Mr White]

Or is it?

[Mr White]

This needs to get slicker Scouse.

























VAR needs to to improve too mind :greengrin

Pish

Goal line technology is fine

This VAR nonsense is not.

[Mantis Toboggan]

Yep. They're both qualified refs. Change that and this could work.

[Scouse Hibee]

VAR really is not for me regardless of how the decisions have gone so far. Not how I want to watch football, if you are actually at tbe game you haven't got a clue what is happening with it.

[hibs#1]

Don't know why he had to use it there surely sometimes he's got to trust the linesman.

[greenlex]

4 minsto save it.

[greenlex]

Well done the Baggies.

[jakedance]

I think VAR can work but it’s been poorly implemented so far. As usual no one has thought about the supporter’s experience.

1. Should only be used in stadiums with big screens so supporters atin the ground and at home know what’s going on and can see the same video feed the VAR ref is looking at
2. The referee has to trust the VAR refs decision rather than looking at the wee monitor himself
3. Managers should be able to request x number of VAR reviews provided it’s an incident that meets the criteria
4. Players should be automatically booked for requesting VAR reviews
