FA Cup 4/5/6/7 Jan

This chav game has got 1-0 Forest all over it. Chelsea must have 90% of the ball so far and done fuck all with it.

It’s relentless.

Forest are a bit fortunate that Odoi was honest and didn’t go down under that challenge earlier from the defender.

Edit: Forest just gave away a penalty, anyway.

Steele saved it! Not a great penalty from Fabregas. No farewell goal?

Was about to post the same about the penalty.



Saved! Serves Cesc right the stupid ****.

That miss has definitely bouyed Forest. Before it, it was 90% possession, as you said earlier.

Now, it’s 60/40 for Forest. Still, Chelsea had that counter just a few minutes ago which forced a save and then nearly scored from the ensuing corner, so Forest need to be careful.
 
They just went through the Chelsea bench... and they’ve only got Hazard as an attacking player (unless you count Moses, which would be charitable these days).

And I am fairly sure Sarri would rather he not have to put him on.

Chelsea are in it a bit right now.

If they lose Hazard to any sort of longer term injury in the next month, or he just goes off the boil for a decent period, they’ll likely finish mid-table.

My observation on the incident ...the referee (twatwell) didn't make the decision...it was made by the person reviewing the incident on var.
The ref should have gone over to where he could see it for his self and made the decision.
Whether the decision is correct or incorrect it seems wrong that somebody else made the decision rather than advising the ref to look at a screen and view it for himself.

Dodgy as fuck,the var ref is only there to advise as in tells ref you need to look at that coming together may be a pen,or a sending off etc,etc,it’s completely wrong if he didn’t refer back to tv screen to look at incident and is relying on what var ref is telling him,if that’s what’s happened then it’s just leaves it wide open to more favourable decisions for certain clubs and vice versa..

I wonder if they'll go balls out for the LC semi?

BEIN sports commentary team could only conclude Moss told the ref it was a penalty and had a post match debate about undermining the referees authority.

You’ve just described the worst fear of many of us, as VAR could easily be used to “legitimise” continued questionable officiating. This is one of the ways to do that.

The “clear and obvious error” requirement is another, as it gives them wiggle room to make an “unclear and not obvious error” with no change of outcome due to VAR.

Ref never left the pitch as far as I saw ..so the decision was made by the person viewing the var...extremely dodgy in my view.
If the ref went and looked at a screen and decided it's a pen then fair enough..but to let someone make his decisions for him is totally dodgy.

May be their only chance to get silverware this season, so perhaps.

Though, that is even a bit of a risk, as there tends to be a slightly higher risk of injury in cup “finals” (which every club coming up against them will treat the match as).
