FA Cup 21/22

[surreybrowncap]

Actually, Boro are something like my 5th favourite team, largely because I live there. Behind a lingering attachment to Man U, a growing one to FC United, a wee bit of Liverpool and then whichever non-league team is up for a bit giant killing. Fickle, me?

Blimey - hedging your bets there...

Let's hope it's an enjoyable game whatever.
Nice seeing memories of Bryan Robson and Juninho...

Thanks for the heads up otherwise I'd be watching curling hilights from the Winter Olympics...

I hear the curling was good

 

[tommers]

Tee hee.

 

[tommers]

The outrage is deeply nourishing.

 

[tommers]

Hahaha. This is amazing.

Man Utd should have been three goals up at half time but once that equaliser went in they’ve looked ragged tbh . They still got enough quality players to win this but they are making very hard work of a game but limited Boro side .

 

[two sheds]

Yep well done Boro.

That Fernandes? miss earlier was sublime

Tell us about the rule change again.

The bloke up front for Boro is doing a great job chasing anything that goes in United's half.

 

[The39thStep]

Been very good Boro in extra time and have come nearest to scoring .

 

[tommers]

Hahahaha. Up the boro.

I keep hearing this "he waited for the goalkeeper to move before deciding which side to hit it". Really? I'm not sure you can do that.

 

[The39thStep]

The joy of the cup

 

[Badgers]

Utd put up a good fight tbf

 

[two sheds]

Well I was 5 minutes behind you lot again - I had to avoid looking at the thread

 

[tommers]

Ronaldo missing a penalty. Fernandes missing an open goal. Controversial winner.

Great night

I keep hearing this "he waited for the goalkeeper to move before deciding which side to hit it". Really? I'm not sure you can do that.

How do you mean? It happens often.

Ah does it? I'd have thought you'd have to stop with your foot poised to watch.

Jorgino does it .He momentarily pauses in his run up

I thought this: "Penalty-takers will not be allowed to stop at the last second. Penalty-takers will no longer be allowed to halt at the end of their run-ups to try to fool the goalkeeper."

And if Jorgino does it often you'd have thought the goalkeeper would wait until Jorgino decides to kick, so you'd have the two of them stood motionless for several minutes.

Despite the 'interesting' handball rule, I've no complaints. Prem League team, at home and we couldn't hit a barn door.

Bit sick for Elanga though. He's 19 I think, hope it doesn't do his head in. It was shades of Bukayo Saka last Summer (well, hopefully minus the racism this time).

 

[two sheds]

yeh I don't like penalties for that reason, and as you say 19

Matches like that should be decided by a golden goal; it's much fairer on lalyers and goalkeepers and less of a lottery.

Come on you Palace.
