Today's footie 19.3

[ElectroClaret]

Arsenal 3 Palace 1
VAR check.... Given.

[ClaretLoup]

Burnley FC Women are winning 3 - 0 vs Derby County just after the hour mark.

Unbeaten so far this season in the league, they could move in to second place, one point behind leaders Forest with a game in hand.

[Bosscat]

Weghorst just missed a sitter set up on a plate for him by Rashford ... more backpass than strike

[MancunianClaret]

Weggers not looking very hot today

[FCBurnley]

Cup semi final draw exactly as predicted pre 6th round. All set up for a Mancs final. What a scam

[Bosscat]

Not necessarily if Yoontid don't score now
Fulham score

[tiger76]

Cup semi final draw exactly as predicted pre 6th round. All set up for a Mancs final. What a scam

City should ease past Sheff Utd, however I wouldn't write off Brighton if indeed they do face Utd, which presently is by no means certain.

City however have incredibly fortunate to draw 3 Championship sides from the 5th round onwards, although admittedly they did play Chelsea and Arsenal in the early rounds both those ties were at the Etihad.

[FCBurnley]

Fulham bossing Manure atm

[Taffy on the wing]

Willian sent off .......

[Bordeauxclaret]

Season over for Mitrovic

[Darthlaw]

Fulham with three red cards in a minute has to be some sort of record.

[Taffy on the wing]

Mitrovic sent off........

[Bosscat]

Mitrovic too pushes ref and Marco Silva its all going off ...

Come on Fulham save it

[agreenwood]

Mitrovic is an absolute idiot. It’s not even a controversial penalty.

[RVclaret]

Never seen anything like it. Wtf were Fulham unhappy about? Most blatant red and pen you’ll see. What a joke.

[sjb]

What on earth was Mitrovic doing there? Absolute idiocy.

[Darthlaw]

William, Mitrovic and the Manager all sent off

[Darthlaw]

Bruno please sky it

[Stayingup]

The thumb sucker scores - sadly.

[Bordeauxclaret]

What a bizarre series of events.

[Vegas Claret]

that was hilarious

[ElectroClaret]

Goodnight Vienna.

[Darthlaw]

Fulham implosion

[tiger76]

Fulham losing the plot in a matter of seconds. and they'll almost certainly lose the match now.

[Claretincraven]

Not a penalty as his hand wasn’t in an unnatural position.
Suppose it’s one way for the FA to get it’s desired final.

[Vegas Claret]

not often you see a player push a ref, Mitrovic will get a lengthy ban for that

[RVclaret]

Not a penalty as his hand wasn’t in an unnatural position.
Suppose it’s one way for the FA to get it’s desired final.

Come on, he’s on the line blocking a goal with his arm, it’s a blatant penalty and red.

[BurnleyFC]

I’m not sure Willian deserved a red. It wasn’t intentional and his hand wasn’t in an unnatural position.

Penalty, yes, but a red for Willian is harsh.

[FCBurnley]

Like I said. Mancs final was decided pre 6 round draw

[expoultryboy]

Don't like utd but "not a penalty " ??? Blatant

[Vegas Claret]

Not a penalty as his hand wasn’t in an unnatural position.
Suppose it’s one way for the FA to get it’s desired final.

he literally punches the ball

[chekhov]

Correct peno and sendings off etc. but I don’t understand why the utd players are getting in the face of the ref when it’s obvious the decision goes to VAR.

[G0foste]

Disgusting by Fulham, when player behave like that, it is no wonder their is so little respect for referees in grassroots football.

[Claretincraven]

Come on, he’s on the line blocking a goal with his arm, it’s a blatant penalty and red.

What do you want him to do, chop his arm off?

Some might call it incredibly fortunate others might not.Stinks.

[Vegas Claret]

this is a major reason we have 10 mins added time in games, any player that goes up to a ref other than a captain should be booked

[KRBFC]

Scary that some supposed football fans think it's acceptable for an outfield player to punch the ball off the goal line

[Carwin261]

Not a penalty as his hand wasn’t in an unnatural position.

I think the biggest ABU would accept that it was handball,he had his arm bent at 90 degrees.

[RVclaret]

What do you want him to do, chop his arm off?

He moved it in the direction of the ball, he could tuck his arm behind his body

[Firthy]

Probably a penalty but not a red card. It was not deliberate and he was actually trying to get his arm out of the way.

[Stayingup]

He punched it off the line?? ? He wasn't even on the line.

[Claretincraven]

Down by his side.

[AGENT_CLARET]

What do you want him to do, chop his arm off?

????? He moved his arm towards the ball to bat it away penalty and a red card is correct and I can't stand Utd

[Darthlaw]

I think the biggest ABU would accept that it was handball,he had his arm bent at 90 degrees.

I think these ABU’s (who the term was tailor made for) are still claiming it isn’t.

[Woodleyclaret]

The ref delivered for Manure.Maguire and Fernades whined and winged at every decision.which he ignored
The draw was rigged for a money making final
But Brighton might spoil the party hopefully

[kentonclaret]

It seemed to me as though the Fulham player was bringing his arm down not stretching it out to block the ball and it hitting him on the elbow. If it hadn’t hit his hand surely the ball would have struck him in the chest?

Anyway, it’s Old Trafford.

Down by his side and in a natural position apparently

[FCBurnley]

Imagine a Brighton v Sheff U final. In front of about 40000. No money in that one. Willam and mitrovic both miss league game(s)

Agree and as said below its Old Trafford.
