The Round Ball Game - II

[johncorrigan]

Gutted for Coventry. Bloody VAR. What a performance! Great game. Man Utd not celebrating...just relieved.

Brilliant, cloughie.
Happy first half-hour for gurney's Eagles from the looks of things.

indeed well done cloughers

Blackburn 1 Owls 3

Not only 3 points but out of bottom 3 for the first time this season - just need to stay there now.

Excellent result. Momentum is always good at this stage of the season.

Also gutted for Cov.

Five good Eagles goals, I hear, and a comedy o.g. at the end. Worth catching on MotD.

The unfairness built in to the competition - either All rounds or none at all should have VAR!
Seems the FA Cup is played to Prem rules - from Round 3 onwards any match on Prem team ground has VAR applied - others don’t - how ca this be fair?
An absolute disgrace to the game.

Well heading into the playoffs in a complete mess is certainly new and original.

Very good evening for the Foxes, and another terrible one for us. But our record against the better teams is very telling.
Alison will be happy . At least I ***** hope so !!

A big ouch, ts, but believe me, anything can happen in the playoffs. Keep the faith!

Hope your mob can pick up before the play-offs, ts. Very disappointing to hear that Stuart Armstrong is out for the Euros piling more problems onto Stevie Clarke's woes...as if we needed them. Well done Foxes...nearly there, Alison.

The understanding down here was that Stuey might make the Euros, and that the injury is muscular rather than ligaments. Really hope so. Such a talented player.

We all need to keep the faith right now, Cloughie !!

Oh that's hopeful, ts. I really like him as a player...I feel he's a bit underrated at times.

Indeed.

What seems to be developing into a very good Palace side 2 Toon 0 …..

We know about Eze and Olise but it has been great to see Jean-Philippe Mateta come through, especially under Glasner, with 14 goals this season. (7 and 2 in the two previous seasons). Tall (6ft 4) and fast he can be v hard to handle. Midfielder Adam Wharton, only 20 years old, bought in Feb for £20m, has proved a great signing.

Big congrats to Leicester. They've stumbled over the line, but stumbled over it they have. Delighted.
