Tonight's Football

I'd take Connell back in a heartbeat. An improvement on every one of our midfielders

So long as you don’t ask him to hit a barn door with his left foot!

All his league goals were with his left foot! (Well there were only 2, but ya know)

I meant the absolute sitter he managed to shank wide at Wembley in extra time….

Ahh. Didn't see it.

Absolute beaut. Basically game on a plate. And he shanked it.

Real shame for 16-year-old Dylan Smith getting sent off in the SPFL play off.

He's a player a lot of English clubs are tracking.

Football is dead. Absolutely dead. Penalty for a ball striking the end of someone’s finger from point blank range.

No penalty for a clear foul in the box.

What is the point anymore?

You can throw in Casemiro getting a freekick after he nearly broke a lad's ankle.

Yeah as clear a red as you will ever see. VAR what a load of utter bollocks.

Mind suspect FA have given out the orders to ensure Man Utd win this.

I dunno. They were always giving thr pen. Don't think the one at the other end was a pen. Cashmere red for me and they got the FK...

The penalty decision against Grealish shows exactly why the game has gone. Anyone who thinks that rule is right has never played the game.

[BWFC_Insane]

Right result in the end though. Hard to believe how poor Man Utd were. City barely got out of third and still Utd were decidedly second best. Young lad who came on for them looks a talent though and does every time I see him.

[TANGODANCER]

Wasn't really bothered who won (although a lifetime anti United history is hard to shake). A decent game but two volleyed lashes which on another day could have gone anywhere, and a ridiculous penalty decision defined the result. Jack Grealish was M.O.T.M for me, and Fred looked like he wanted to be sent off. Was hoping for more from Haarland but United defence kept him quiet, and De Braune was his usual classy self. Lively last fifteen, but the right result I think.

p.s. United's young protege looks a real prospect. I've seen three T.V games with him in and been well impressed.

I'm with you mate, but they're taking subjective out of the gamer. So you end up with "did it objectively hit his hand" yadda, yadda. For me, no way was that a penalty. Bit I understand with the current laws why it was given, sadly.


I am absolutely baffled by the Casimero "rewatch" at least a yellow, possibly a red, free kick United.. just unfathomable.

They aren’t removing subjectivity though cos you’ve got ‘natural position’ bollocks. All these rules are there to suit VAR. It was an absolutely ridiculous penalty. As Grealish himself said he wasn’t even looking at the ball. The rules need changing.

[Prufrock]

That handball was ridiculous. Would've been bad enough if the ref had given it and they'd decided not to overrule but lord above

If it isn't largely removed there's no way that's a pen. About the only way that's given is because some folks used a checklist of rules with no common sense.

Just shows where football has gone to. It should never have gone to V.A.R.. What was he being penalised for; being in the way of the ball? Hand ball should be a deliberate act, not a mistake. Refereeing rules, like a lot of other things, needs "modernising." Even we dubbin and casey dinosaurs know the meaning of "penalty" and its death sentence effect on a game. Luckily, the final result favoured the righteous.

Yan Dhanda, formerly linked to us from Swansea, is tearing is up in the SPL play off for Ross County as their #10.

3-0 down on aggregate RC have it back at 3-3. Malky Mackay is a loathsome bigot and I was looking forward to him being relegated, but it's quite a game now.

Tonight I watched a K League Game Pohang Steelers won then I watched extra time win for Heidelberg United in Australia Cup Game pre National round on youtube

This week upgraded one of the Streaming Services here to get this Weekends Champions League Final as well

[Worthy4England]

Your certainly opening our eyes that there's a world out there that doesn't involve the Premier League and 5 day test cricket, Matty.

[MattySlug]

Thank you, I was going to come back here last night and say I came across more live game there was Singapore Premier League game last night but I went to bed.

I hope to wake up early 5am tomorrow for Fiorentina - West Ham Final!

[Worthy4England]

Penalty all day long that - he nearly threw it to the keeper...

They're making a bit of a fuss about winning the European equivalent of the Papa John's Trophy...
