Villa's first should have been given.
Not acceptable that VAR is working in some games but not others.
Not acceptable that VAR took 3.5 mins to find a reason to disallow the goal. Var has its place, but if it takes that long to find a problem, it is not a "clear and obvious error.
VAR is a good thing. It just needs reining in, or it leads to "suspicions" of favouritism towards the Big Clubs.

Not sure the draw isn't fixed either. Chelsea v Chesterfield in 3rd round and next they meet the mighty Kidderminster.

and, the other two lower league teams, Cambridge and Luton play each other, so there's one lower league left for a bit of "the magic of the Cup" left in the next round.Not sure the draw isn't fixed either. Chelsea v Chesterfield in 3rd round and next they meet the mighty Kidderminster.

Luton are in the Championship - hardly a lower league team!
Chelsea have got Plymouth in the next round, not Kidderminster.

Could have sworn it said Kidderminster on the TV the other day.

Well when you said 'the other two lower league teams', I figured you didn't realise Luton are in the Championship.
Plymouth, Hartlepool, Boreham Wood and Wigan are all in a lower league than them.

Yeah, I'm not sure it should have been used to disallow the goal on any of the grounds they were using. As Shearer put it after the match, the thing about obstructing Cavani should have only come in if he'd been near enough to influence the goal.
United were just awful tonight, though they actually managed the game out okay for the last 15 mins or so (big deal...). What the fuck was going on with Rashford?? Fernandes was awful and Greenwood looked like he'd lost his confidence.
Anyway, it was a cracking weekend of FA cup before that.

Watch almost any corner you get players holding on to others, pulling them back. Half of them should be penalties but aren't given.

Did anyone notice that ITV didnt tell us what the numbers were for the teams in the draw, and how they were decided I really dint know as they were all over the place alphabetically. Im nt saying that wa a sign that it was fixed, but it certainly spoiled the enjoyment of the draw for me, and would make it much easier to fix the draw if no one knew what the numbers were!Not sure the draw isn't fixed either. Chelsea v Chesterfield in 3rd round and next they meet the mighty Kidderminster.

The numbers are decided based on the order the ties were drawn in the previous round.
Boreham Wood vs Wimbledon was the first drawn in round three, which is why Boreham Wood were ball number one, and Nottingham Forest vs Arsenal were the last tie drawn, making them ball 32.
In rounds where new teams come in (e.g. in the third round), the new teams are listed in alphabetical order before the teams from the previous round are listed, which is why Arsenal are always ball number 1 in the third round draw.

I suspected that must be the case, but it still spoils it not putting the numbers up on the screen!

Thank you, I totally agree. It's a two tier competition with different rules accoring to where the tie is being played!
overpaid prima donnas who think they can walk it and who dont care so long as they get paid. It wasn't just Utd. Arsenal didn't even turn up either

Please keep the Pool out of this; I still have nightmares about my only visit there.
I am endeavoring to search for further facts n figures but I think this was when Palace why flying towards the top of the second and fast becoming THE team of the eighties
and Hartlepool where languishing down the bottom.....of the league. A big cup shock in it's day but not the biggest cup shock ever.

You're welcome. Andy Saville scored a complete non-penalty to shatter Palace. 1993. Hartlepool were struggling badly in what's now League One, and Palace were a Premier League team.
Richard Shaw almost in tears at the injustice

for that game we had a half decent squad with some of the greats out there and of course managed by the great Sir Stevie Coppell, his last season as boss.
He was nearly in tears at the end; his reaction to the penalty and Shaws says it all. You think that pitch was bad, you should have seen the '78 one
An interesting thing is the state of lower leagie pitches then to now; shows how much better they are today.
