FA Cup 3rd Round

[distortiondave]

I like how the BBC have missed our kick off time and just skipped straight to the score, saves me having to watch it.

[StayingDown4Ever]

Newcastle fans in for a treat if they are the scores

[ClaretsPadiham]

Why is there a game tonight ? Strange day

[Vincent'sCap]

I can't watch a game on TV when it's Palace at home the dick banging that drum constantly for 90 minutes does my head in.

[FCBurnley]

Like watching paint dry !!!

[Bordeauxclaret]

Palace’s shirt is far better than their normal home one.

[Aclaret]

Like watching paint dry !!!

....not even that good !

[Lu-tze]

Whose chuffing idea was it to televise hodgson v dyche?
Two well organised teams cancelling each other out.
Watch it finish 3-3 now..

It’s better than West Ham v Brighton was this week although that’s not saying much

[Vincent'sCap]

Palace and Everton are two very poor teams the problem is they are still better than us.

[boatshed bill]

VAR again.

[ClaretTony]

How on earth is that a red card?

[Cooclaret]

That’s a disgusting VAR decision.

It needs to go asap.

[JimmyRobbo]

Joke of a red.

[chekhov]

Oh dear.

[Cooclaret]

I can’t see how there isn’t a fall out from VAR and it’s biased use in years to come.

[Vincent'sCap]

VAR continuing to ruin football its really time to follow a new sport.

[Goody1975]

Thought this was the perfect opportunity for the referee to say no, I'm sticking with my decision.

Very rarely happens, it's a joke of a decision.

[DAVETHEVICAR]

Crazy
Everton should appeal it

[boatshed bill]

I can’t see how there isn’t a fall out from VAR and it’s biased use in years to come.

They've got to stop sending the ref to the screen. Take responsibility themselves, they have all the angles and stills.
I feel it puts too much pressure on the refs.

[JimmyRobbo]

Dwight stretchered off.

[Cooclaret]

McNeil broken leg?

[boatshed bill]

Did Palace bring Hughes on specifically to foul Everton players?

[boatshed bill]

McNeil broken leg?

I sincerely hope not.

[ClaretTony]

Dwight stretchered off.

Doesn’t look good does it?

[Elizabeth]

If you remember bill they didn't use the screen until there was a lot of criticism for not sending the ref to it. Now it's gone too far the other way and does seem to be a fait accompli.
I don't like to see studs up even if no malice is intended.

[JimmyRobbo]

Doesn’t look good does it?

How often have we seen Dwight stay down injured? I fear for him.

Edit: missed "for" out.

[FCBurnley]

Very bad night for Everton. Sure SD would prefer to lose but keep DM and ACL

A lot of decisions are about the referees opinion, but the VAR refs opinion seems to out rank the on field refs.

[alwaysaclaret]

Didn't look good for mcneil.

[bfcjg]

With how his girlfriend has been last thing he needs is more bad luck.

[Awayfromburnley]

To be fair he lunged in with studs up, that's dangerous play, that's a red.

Doesn't matter how much contact there was.

I agree with it, might appear soft but thems the rules!

[boatshed bill]

Aren't they telling him (or at least inferring) that he's got it wrong?
Also I feel it could put the ref in a rather hostile situation, obviously near the home fans.

Is that you Devils advocate?

Fishing for bites again?

Not one sticks to his original decision though, even when they are debatable.

[Awayfromburnley]

If you endanger and opponent it's a red. It's written in the rules!

[boatshed bill]

Not one sticks to his original decision though, even when they are debatable.

Yes, because the doubt has been put in his/her mind.

[distortiondave]

Can a VAR induced red card be rescinded? Has it ever happened?

[Mark the Claret]

Yes, because the doubt has been put in his/her mind.

So the VAR refs opinion counts for more it seems

[boatshed bill]

Isn't that the idea. Apparently they should only intervene in the event of "a clear and obvious error", says it all really.

[Quickenthetempo]

If you endanger and opponent it's a red. It's written in the rules!

When he slides to retrieve the ball, the opposition player isn't anywhere near.
He approaches from a right angle. How's it supposed to be deliberate?

It doesn't have to be deliberate!

[Vegas Claret]

the bonkers thing about it was the VAR was Craig Pawson, he's highly experienced and that is a huge problem for the PGMOL when their 'top' refs are getting the basics wrong

[NottsClaret]

No way any football authority is going to back down now but VAR has ruined top level football. It’s a much poorer ‘product’ and the decisions are no different.

[bumba]

If you endanger and opponent it's a red. It's written in the rules!

Every tackle and jump could be seen to endanger an opponent if any contact is made.
Do you really want a non contact game?
It's never a red it's not even a yellow or a foul for me, games gone soft

[bumba]

McNeil broken leg?

Looked like broken leg or ankle
