Blades-Rovers 1st up, I'd like a Blades for 2 reasons, firstly it might distract them in the league, secondly I for one don't want Rovers at Wembley.

The game I will enjoy. The result itself, not bothered either way. Just want Brighton to get to the final for personal financial reasons.

Blades will be up for it, the million pound they make from the semi could stop admin.

That's the truth, especially with automatic promotion beginning to look less certain; without a cash injection from somewhere, they could be in deep dodah.

Given by Tierney on VAR, I don't think the on field ref was going to award it.

1-1 with a stunner.

Only put the game on now as Sheff Utd equalised, so missed the penalty. Is VAR in operation? I thought it was only at Premier League grounds?

usually it is only PL grounds, however it's in operation at all grounds from the quarter-finals onwards.

Not wanting any favours for the Horse fans, but surely that should be a 2nd yellow for Robinson?

Sheff lucky to have 10 men on the field.

Sheffield are a real dirty team, they should of had 3 player's sent off over the past 3 games before this one

It is.
Looks like great stuff for the neutral, would be great for me if i desperately didn't want one side to get absolutely battered.

Shouldn't be allowed to play in my opinion, not just today but any game.

1-1 at the break, and as tight and fiercely contested as you'd expect between 2 of the better Championship sides.

Probably be totally wrong but it would surprise me if this finishes 11 a side, and every chance it will go to extra time judging by that first half.

VAR is used from this stage of the competition onwards. I'm sure there's an obvious answer but what would happen if Grimsby were at home and don't have the VAR facilities/equipment? What if a team from non-league made it this far?

Easy they only draw the top clubs at home in 6th round

Would have been harsh for Robinson imo, got the ball obviously, got the man with follow through but would have been harsh.

8 players on a yellow card. Get another and they miss the semi but if they get a red they can play on semi but miss next league games !!!

Only just started watching.
If VAR is there to correct clear and obvious errors, then that penalty decision was appalling.
Blackburn didn't even appeal for a penalty and were happy with the corner awarded.
We'd be absolutely fuming if VAR gave that against us.

I'm not doubting what you've said, but that makes absolutely no sense at all.
