FA Cup Semi Final | Coventry City v United

[cleavers]

Will Onana be suspended for the final? He got 2 yellows today.

How did he get 2 and no red ?

How did he get 2 and no red ?

First yellow for time wasting.
Second yellow for interfering in the penalty shootout.

Second yellows don’t count as a red in shootouts anymore.

We never get shown the frame from when the ball is played.

That’s because it doesn’t exist.
There’s a potential 38cm margin of error that it CANNOT get right.

There are flaws in VAR that mean not every offside decision will be correct

Is that official?

Someone on here explained it earlier

 

[Feed the Elk]

This is true but they should be able to calculate precisely what the margin of error is and make allowances for it. If the margin is say six inches then no decision should be given either way with any smaller distance than that. These toenail offsides are only as good as the equipment. Why do PMGOL not share this information with fans. What is the frame rate of their cameras. They must have the figures.

This is exactly the point.

What would happen if Onana had headbutted someone in the shoot-out? Would he stay on the pitch?

Coventry player booked for feigning injury.

What if he was to punch his opponent.. on the nose

 

[Stephen230]

Agreed. Getting two in the same game and not being sent off on a technicality seems less harsh to me though.

It’s a bit of a red herring really. No referee is ever going to book a ‘keeper who’s been booked in the game for a bit of gamesmanship, if he knew it meant a red.

He’d get a straight red card and be sent off, same as if it happened at any other time.

That’d be a red card.

It was introduced as a keeper got sent off in a shootout for coming off their line early and so they get 2 chances instead of one now.
