Fulham (H) - FA Cup Round 4 Post-Match Thread

[Lovebitesandeveryfing]

Should have asked @oakiecokie or @gordondaviesmoustache — they have that down the back of their sofa!

And what about your good self, @SebastianBlue, living abroad on a tax dodge?

 

[Ban-jani]

I just saw a few saying “hope he’s ok” so assumed he went off injured.

He got clattered but think he recovered fine, just sore from the impact.

Well I’ve come away from that thinking “that’s 5 hours of my life I won’t get back”. It was utterly boring!

The good thing was García was great and looks the best young prospect at the club by a mile, and the best prospect we’ve had come into our team for a very long time!

Foden was poor today. Why is he playing as a winger? He’s a fucking midfielder!

The crowd was really poor but that’s what you get when we have a boardroom who don’t understand our support and that extra tickets on top of seasoncard payments for Fulham, United, Madrid, a possible FA Cup 5th round home tie and a possible trip to Wembley (as well as away Prem games and if anyone is going away to Madrid) will have an affect on attendances if some are priced too high. People will pick and choose because they can’t afford to go to them all and today was the bottom of the pile.

But we won and that’s the most important thing!

I shall neither confirm nor deny such unscrupulous allegations.

whilst I know some City fans have problems or can’t afford to go to watch anymore, I have to agree with Pep & ask why most of those posting on the match day thread weren’t at the game. It was cheap tickets today.

Because the ticket is only 1/2 the cost of attending a game for most, unless you have a magic carpet? Also plenty will have to buy food around the ground before KO because of yet more stupid KO times, all for the armchair fans. Pep is his own worst enemy when it comes to making friends with the fans, I've never known a manager have so many digs at his own fanbase.

I don't blame anyone for not going today, even moreso in retrospect, it was dull and neither team wanted to play, which made for a piss poor atmosphere.

 

[Blue Maverick]

No attempt to play ball. Right decision.

I know that but I thought the rule was double jeopardy unless it was violent it’s a yellow and penalty.

Has Pep had another pop at us? Ffs.

ah right. So we might as well disband the club & let Pep go. Why should anyone bother going

It's not. It's only a yellow if you are attempting to play the ball.

Only counts as double jeopardy if genuine attempt at playing ball is made, mate.

Stupid comment. Well done.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

If the player doesn’t make a genuine attempt to get the ball when impeding the goal scoring chance, it’s a sending off offence. David Luiz was sent off for a similar foul at the weekend.

Maybe Pep can hand out some cash so people can afford to go after paying for other matches plus all their bills etc

 

[deafmanstevo]

City would have won comfortably sending off or not, game was ok nothing special players did the job, hoping for a big game next round , utd liverpool or spurs at home , or maybe a good away trip to sheff weds or maybe west Brom

 

[citytill1die84]

As have I, as a languid DM, so I’ve had it done to me quite a few times, and have quite literally seen two players’ Achilles snap, and that’s a sore one every day of week and twice on Sundays.

Whether he’s rolled around before has absolutely no bearing on this incident.

Again, blues slagging players for being on the end of a bad challenge...

YCMIU

Stop crying mate ffs Cancelo always over reacts and has done again.

It wasn't a bad challenge either, they happen all the time.

I'll slag any player off for being soft and if that's 1 of our own I'll still do it I'm only telling the truth.

 

[bumbleblue]

No I don’t think so I think in the aftermath of a relatively routine win our press are trying to create a narrative prior to the rags game. Nowt in ..it load of bollocks.

bearing in mind we aren’t playing Madrid until March, I think they could have waited for payments on this one! May have been a nice gesture. Book your tickets now but we won’t take money until next month. Ticket prices for Fulham were ok but clearly not ok enough to fill the ground.

He probably has never paid to watch a match himself so expects it is free.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Did what we had to

Shit atmosphere again but game was over after the lad got sent off

Piece of piss getting away from the stadium today though

He deserves it. That snide ****y trip on the Oxford lad, a few dives in previous games, two dives today and rolling around worse than Eduardo when his leg was hanging off sideways at the end of the game today... someone at the club needs to have a word with this soft fucker because we don’t want this shit at City!
