FA Cup discussion thread.

[Mystic Mock]

As the third round will be starting next month of the FA Cup I wanted to have a thread dedicated to all of the matches that will be happening throughout the tournament.

And hopefully we cause an upset against the Hammers.:joker:

[Alf]

I'm tipping Tottenham for the cup, it's about time this group of players won some silverware and the cup is their best chance

[Mystic Mock]

Tottenham have a decent chance.

I think either them or Arsenal will take it.

[Mystic Mock]

West Ham - Birmingham City 1-2


:joker:

Well done to West Ham LT, your English Team faced tough opponents there and held us off so fair play.

Tbf I think that we'd need to massively invest in top class players to compete against teams like West Ham nowadays, I'm just happy that we made it a bit tricky.:joker:

[Mystic Mock]

What a game today, I feel like that will be a better game than the final.

Watford and Wolves fans should be proud of their teams achievements in this cup imo considering they don't normally get this far.

And good luck to Black Dagger with Man City as they've had another fantastic season in the FA Cup, but Watford could be more tricky than most people would think.

Good luck to both teams anyway.

[Tony Montana]

Hopefully Watford win

[Cherie]

Gutted for Wolves, but Watford staged some comeback

[James]

Rout.

[GiRTh]

Well done to player of the year Sterling :dance:

[Crimson Dynamo]

horrible


truly vile

[Tony Montana]

Well this match wasn't predictable at all

[AnnieK]

Total domination by City....hate big wins like that, always want them to let the other team score to give them something.

De Bruyne is another level of a game changer

[Denver]

Anyway they will be nothing when they are told they cant have 100 first team players, but you should expect nothing less then cheating when they are owned by scum from one of the scummiest countries

[Crimson Dynamo]

its a whole country that runs one regional team

its actually rather disgusting and anti-football

[Denver]

its a whole country that runs one regional team

I don't know why they allow people who disregard human rights to own clubs in a country that claims to have some of the best human rights

[Denver]

No strikers for most of the game and we still go through.:dance:

We get to face Leicester!:cheer2:

Well done to Coventry though who have essentially been away from home in both games.

[Beso]

Unlucky Oxford. .I don't care how good the goal was that beat you...I wanted penalties.

[Denver]

One less cup for City to win ha

[Swan]

This is why i stopped betting on football

[GiRTh]

:dance:

[Black Dagger]

One less cup for City to win ha

Is that how it's going to be. Win one of the most forgettable seasons ever and are more concerned that City might have won an FA Cup lol.

[Swan]

Predictions?

I literally have no idea which way this game will go, both sides inconsistent, Chelsea the better side on their day, but Arsenal always beating Chelsea in finals (ugh) and have a EL spot to play for. Will be interesting for sure.

I'll go for a Chelsea win after ET.

[GiRTh]

LAst time we needed to beat Chelsea to qualify for Europe was the Europa last year - we lost 4-1. Cant call this, two inconsistent teams. Would be sweet to win just to stop Spurs from qualifying for Europe.

[Swan]

Well there's the consolation prize for us if you guys win lol.

Are you 100% sure that's the case though?

[GiRTh]

Are you 100% sure that's the case though?My bad just checked, its Wolves who miss out if we win the cup.

That sucks...

[GiRTh]

Azpilicueta should have been sent off TBH

[Swan]

Azpilicueta should have been sent off TBH

Hmm i dunno, but i would say that :laugh:

In fairness, after the first 10 mins, Arsenal the much better side, we're lucky it's 1-1 at HT.

Dunno why we insist on playing out from the back every single time. More times than not we just put ourselves under pressure!

[Swan]

Oh well that's that, Chelsea are ****ed now.

[GiRTh]

:dance::dance:

[Swan]

Chelsea with all the possession, but doing nothing with it, Arsenal look more dangerous, and losing our best player to injury it'll be a miracle if we pull this back.

[GiRTh]

Kovacic off :laugh:

[Swan]

WOW lmao.

[Swan]

Yeah not Chelsea's day, when we get all our decent players back though we'll be challenging for the title.

[Swan]

Arsenal deserve the win, Chelsea turned up for about 10 mins. The sending off of Kovacic was bs, and losing Pulisic to injury was really unfortunate. But yeah best team on the day won.

A couple of defenders brought, and with our decent players coming back from injury, next season should mean a decent challenge at the PL title.

Happy with Lamps first season.

[Swan]

Dirty Arsenal wasting time as per though :laugh: Still, they need every edge they can get considering.

[GiRTh]

Never in doubt

[AnnieK]

Deserved win for Arsenal there....

[Swan]

Deserved win for Arsenal there....

They did, a bitter pill to swallow, but they were the much better team.

Luiz had a blinder keeping the, on fire, Giroud quiet. And as soon as Pulisic went off with that hamstring i knew the writing was on the wall.

[Cherie]

The sending off was very dubious and killed the game, whats the point in VAR if you are not going to use it for a game changer like that

Poor game for the ref overall

[Mystic Mock]

Congratulations to Oxford City last night on their win against Northampton.

With all due respect to any Oxford City fans on the Forum but they tend to live in Oxford United's shadow so it's nice to see that Oxford City are having a glorious moment.

Hopefully them and Solihull Moors will have a decent run in the FA Cup this year.

[Mystic Mock]

Oh yes! We've got one of the Big Six.:dance:

[Denver]

Super surprised Klopp put out the full first team against the Villa Toddlers, but maybe with 10 days till our next game he didn't want to keep them resting to long

[Alf]

Manchester City have players missing due to Covid, the game gets called off.

Aston Villa have players missing due to Covid, the game goes on.

[Mystic Mock]

The Villa kids are doing well here against Liverpool.

Begrudging respect.

[Mystic Mock]

Manchester City have players missing due to Covid, the game gets called off.

Aston Villa have players missing due to Covid, the game goes on.

I find that odd too.

[Black Dagger]

Aston Villa have players missing due to Covid, the game goes on.

Take it up with the FA then x

[Alf]

Take it up with the FA then xCan't be bothered to do that, I'd get nowhere. I'll just give respect to the Aston Villa club for fulfilling their fixtures.

[Mystic Mock]

Take it up with the FA then x

Are you looking forward to the 12-0 victory against us tomorrow?:laugh:

[Black Dagger]

Which we also would have done had the higher ups not made the decision to call it off.

so strange watching this Chorley v Derby build up, Chorley 4 divisions below them in reality but they are playing a team with an average age of 19 under normal circumstances Derby are clear favs but they are 16/5 here and Chorley 7/10 odds on

[Nicky91]

8th division team too, Marine tomorrow against Spurs

[GiRTh]

:dance:

[MTVN]

Great to see Leeds get a good spanking

[Novo]

Leeds 3-0 down at Crawley, pretty strong team out as well

[GiRTh]

Crawley look like they're gonna score again. Leeds are in tatters

[MTVN]

See Crawley have got Mark Wright on the bench lol, would be the ultimate piss take bringing him on at 3-0 up

[Novo]

**** sake i forgot he signed up to them, not even being paid either i don't think

[Mystic Mock]

More dark days for us I see.

It was great to see us playing against Premier League opposition again though (especially such a high quality team) but our players were disgraceful in the first half, it got better for us in the second half but it was hard to tell how much of it was down to Blues and how much of it was Man City taking the foot off the gas.

With how bad this team is playing I honestly don't believe that these players deserved the privilege of playing against such a top team, but it was a well deserved fixture for us supporters who get nothing but mediocrity season in and season out from the sleeping giants.

Will decent owners ever come along and realise that a team with great potential is right there for them to turn into a strong Premier League team, it's a Birmingham team with a big fanbase fgs how are businessmen/women not taking advantage of this.:joker:

[Denver]

People moaned about us playing a full team but nobody mentions Tottenham playing there full first team against a team like 500 divisions lower

[MTVN]

Ties like this are always 'a great occasion' and fun to build up but then the actual game starts and it's such a mismatch that it's just an awful spectacle

[MTVN]

Thank God the NFL starts soon, lockdown weekends without the Premier League are awful

[Mystic Mock]

People moaned about us playing a full team but nobody mentions Tottenham playing there full first team against a team like 500 divisions lower

Speaking for myself I honestly don't care what team Liverpool or Tottenham wants to put out, as long as they're trying their best to win the tie then I'm happy.

[bots]

i've always found the FA cup to be a completely over rated competition, never watch it

[Novo]

it is nothing without the fans anyway, especially in the big clubs v the minnows ties

[MTVN]

Cheltenham 1 Man City 0

This would be a surprise

[MTVN]

Bollocks to Cheltenham

[AnnieK]

Awww....cheltenham played well. As soon as the equaliser went in it was game over but they did themselves proud. Foden is a class player (as much as it pains me to say it)

[Black Dagger]

Bad luck BBC x

They played really well actually. Cancelo totally changed the game. Time for Mendy to go.

[Mystic Mock]

Are the Football world sure that Cheltenham's two Leagues below us.:laugh:

That's 2-2 for the ladies.

[Crimson Dynamo]

although however wins is out next round

It was a tedious game to watch definitely.
Sadly.
Because these 2 teams are capable of playing explosive matches.

[Cherie]

Terrible borefest, I went to bed after the goal, as I couldn't see another being scored

[Nicky91]

cup football players mentality is completely different than in the league

that is a fact, not just in england but in other countries too


today i'll say Man City hasn't just won that against Swansea, but they gotta fight for their place, and this is basically the place for lower level teams to show what they are capable of

good on Bournemouth beating Burnley last night :clap1:


tonights big game Everton - Spurs, considering what weak form Spurs are in atm and hopeless without Kane, i can see Everton win it, however again i also would say if a time to get back into form, this would be the nice place to do so, not ruling out a Spurs win either

[Brother Leon]

Chelsea knock out Man City.


Winning The Treble isn’t for everyone.

Yes I want Chelsea to beat Man City too in the Champions league.

I want Chelsea today too but what a tedious match it is so far.

[Swan]

It's been terrible so far

[Zizu]

Players are so drilled to claim every throw in or free kick that it’s getting ridiculous now ..

Azpulueta just smashed a cross into the Leicester youngster who automatically raised his arm claiming it ricocheted back into Azpulueta even though it was abundantly clear to everyone in the stadium that it was about three metre away from hitting the Chelsea guy .

I’m just sick of all the flaming cheating nowadays , feigning injury, shirt pulling and blocking off in the penalty box ...

BBC team are incredibly biased, the goal was milimeters offside anyone would think it was a mile they haven't mentioned it once yet. Very suspicious looking handball as well that never went to VAR what is all that about

The all wanted the story for Leicester I am afraid

[James]

From another thread.

I'd change VAR by either...

Stop drawing lines on the screen for off-sides (offside was never meant to be micro-analysed like that)

or

Only use it for penalty box decisions.

The offside decision.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/E1cpbHyXIAU9L50?format=jpg&name=4096x4096

It's not even clear when the ball leaves the player's foot. Unless you are going to use high-speed cameras it is useless for close offside decisions.

I've heard in Germany (or might have been Holland) that they deliberately make the lines a lot wider, then if there's any overlap they say its too close to call and its declared onside

Makes a lot more sense

[Zizu]

Weren’t the best final tbh but happy for Leicester nonetheless. Thought Werner was crap upfront today.

[James]

The only thing keeping VAR alive in its current form, is that half the fans are always going to be in favour of a decision.

Unlike something like the Super League where everyone was against it, and it went away as quickly as it started.

[bots]

players cheat, and with var, rather than sorting mistakes, it's changed the nature of the cheat.

I didn't watch the game, ive watched so many of these finals that have been dire

Could AI automated offside be the answer to VAR.

Automated offsides could be in use in Premier League by 2023 after success of secret trials

Fifa hopeful that ‘game-changing’ technology using artificial intelligence will also be in place for 2022 World Cup



Hawk-Eye has been testing its “skeletal player tracking system” at one Premier League club this season, with more trials planned at Liverpool, Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs next campaign

MIKE HEWITT/GETTY IMAGES

Martyn Ziegler, Chief Sports Reporter

Thursday May 27 2021, 5.00pm, The Times

New technology designed to instantly detect offsides by using artificial intelligence is on course to be introduced in the Premier League in two years’ time after “extremely promising” results from secret tests at one top-flight club and with more trials planned at four English stadiums next season.
The automated offside system would replace the controversial VAR offside lines and should provide match officials with an instant message sent to their watch when a player is offside, instead of what is now often a wait of a minute or longer — which has led to frustration among players, managers, pundits and fans. The referee and assistants would then have to judge only if the attacker deemed offside was interfering with play.

Sadly Pundits and Commentators are very biased.

I remember earlier on in the season when it was Blues vs Huddersfield, we had about 3 or 4 shots back to back that went narrowly wide, yet when Huddersfield skied one over the bar the Sky Sports Pundit said "best chance of the game so far."

[Mystic Mock]

The only thing keeping VAR alive in its current form, is that half the fans are always going to be in favour of a decision.

Unlike something like the Super League where everyone was against it, and it went away as quickly as it started.

I personally believe that VAR has a place in Football if handled properly, sadly Football has made two mistakes with VAR though.

1. A body part being in an offside position shouldn't actually count as offside. It should clearly be most of the body being in an offside position means your offside but the geniuses that run Football can't see that simple solution.

2. Is some of the terrible decisions that Referees have made around handball, again it should only be an offence if the player is deliberately stopping the ball from going in the net, or a player trying to pull off another Hand Of God moment.

Subjectively I'd like these VAR decisions to be decided quicker so the match doesn't lose it's flow.

But yes I don't get fans that get a kick out of the wrong decisions that VAR makes, even if it favours their team.
