"Concentrating on the League" - the FA Cup 2019 and onwards

handball. was incidental but probably right call.

still...can we ever celebrate

would've been a pretty slapstick goal tbh

oh completely Three Stooges but it was kinda funny

it's possible AWB is the best slide tackler in history

not a lot of quality on show here

lotta pinball going on

Lol Derby are shit, so shit that the Champo's best right back can get a game

lol against the run of play

we've found our level

Pitch obviously not bad enough

pace the official Shrewsbury thread but this is a fun Wolves flashback

Lol i'd've give that

ah fuck

:(

Blinding free kick from this Oxford lad tho

Holy crap

Lolololol

ahahaha

two full strength newcastle teams

Cut to shot of Steve Bruce looking like Droopy

Serves them right I think they've had one shot in the second half

What a beauty!

well what do u expect after the joelinton injury xps

Fucking hell Shrewsbury had one disallowed by VAR, what a shocker

cov!

Yay, stick it to the Bluenoses

hearing mark robins has a giant flag souness-style ready for planting

ah, nevertheless

hmm scoring in the final seconds has been our thing this season :'(

ffs

Whatever your allegiances, you have to admit that Shrewsbury deserved to lose for electing very tall nazi sympathiser Daniel Kawczynski to represent them on multiple occasions

Referee's just stopped officiating here

Ah booooo

That's the cunt I wouldn't sign in FM cos his agent was taking the piss

dreams over for us
its not coming home
(circa 1987)

saint-maximum has a great celebration graphic on amazon when he scores tbf

Suddenly there's a topless Geordie, he was quiet 5 minutes ago

sorry to break yr heart blues but we're gonna have to move out

Bruce still looks like Droopy tbf

at what stage will allan s-m get his own thread

pls

tbf his twitter feed is as good a thread as you could hope for

https://theathletic.com/1541422/?amp#click=https://t.co/9E2qXu7MCy

feelin v confident about tonight, things are starting to click a bit imo

vmnic etc

it's a beautiful thing, optimism

stupid rb, stupid attackers

so grateful to be in this against the mighty southampton, ty spurs for rewarding my earlier utterances you bleak cunts

please dont

you hate to love to see it

wtf did antony just use his right foot?!

Wtf is Old Trafford...loud?

Marcus ffs

Lovely first touch and all

Be embarrassing for them if Liverpool lost this tbh, united have been so bad

Well this is entertaining.

Jesus, shite or not, Utd have missed so many chances.

Fuck yesssssss!

Red card jfc

What a way to get a red

What a game to have Matterface's confused daytripper mithering over it

best red card of all time tbf

Weird game, for the longest while they were drifting out of it like a balloon floating quietly into space

Well, they've burst Klopp's balloon, amirite?

Well that was a thoroughly unpleasant way to spend an hour, why do I watch something that makes me this anxious?

were the better team for the first 40 minutes, then lost the plot, ceded pretty much the entire second half, and then by far the better team in extra time

Just realized Diallo is the same Diallo who played for Rangers.

Yes, he had a brilliant loan to Sunderland last season but he's been injured most of this

I don't remember him being anything special at Rangers but he was in a shit team with shit players and a shit manager so I don't blame the lad.

So the FA want to ruin the FA Cup especially for non-league teams but basically for anyone that isn't in the premier league.

No replays, weekend only matches, no prem matches from R5 onwards on FA Cup weekends and several other pointless tweaks to keep the money at the top where it belongs.

It all seems so unnecessary.

when has the FA cared about necessity?

Hard to know what the FA does care about really.

respect to Tranmere

Club Statement: FA Cup replays

— Tranmere Rovers FC (@TranmereRovers) April 18, 2024

The decision, and the way it was taken, demonstrate a total lack of respect for the football pyramid and its fans. Football belongs to all of us and decisions should not be taken in back room deals in which only the very wealthiest clubs are allowed to participate. It is yet another eloquent example of the 19th-century governance that means that football simply cannot regulate itself and needs the Independent Football Regulator to have real teeth.
