    FA Cup VAR

    Yeah, but this is all analysed AFTER the game or at half time in the studio. If it can be identified during the game, as is the way with rugby, that would kill it stone dead very quickly. Someone spits, or punches or kicks etc. could be picked up by the VAR and the game could continue. As soon...

    Ben Stephens (Stratford Town) on trial this week

    Rather an odd one. You would think there would have to be a reason. You wouldn't just not turn up surely. Maybe there is a valid reason somewhere.

    draw on the radio / draw thread

    Am guessing it will be on 5Live. There's already a football programme scheduled for 7pm talking about the 4th round games on there.

    FA Cup VAR

    The more eyes on the pitch though the more cheating can be identified. It's just whether they have the will to stamp it out. It was a great sport. I remember the 70's and 80's and 90's and there was hardly any diving and feigning injury etc. It's gradually crept into the game. Needs to be the...

    which teams are now considered a big draw for round 5

    Norwich smashed us too didn't they and both Chelsea and Spurs hardly broke sweat.

    FA Cup VAR

    Yeah. As odd as it sounds, I don't see why the ref can't give the penalty (cos it WAS a foul), but then send Salah off for deception.

    FA Cup VAR

    You wouldn't be saying that if the incorrect decision was made that cost the City promotion this season. One single decision can be massive. They have the technology in tennis, in rugby, in cricket, in American Football. We should be doing all we can to make decisions be the correct ones. As...

    FA Cup VAR

    Agree. Definitely a foul and penalty, but the dive to the floor was pathetic. That's two of the worst aspects of football right there encapsulated. Diving and the deliberately pulling of players back in the penalty box. Maybe the fairest outcome there should have been a penalty to Liverpool, a...

    Why were they so bad? I had their album (only album?). It was pretty good.

    FA Cup VAR

    As I have said, it is really early days and we need to give it time to work. I am convinced within 2 years we will all be pretty much totally behind it. I don't buy Alan Pardew's argument either, that a couple of his players did their hamstrings because they were waiting too long. What happens...

    which teams are now considered a big draw for round 5

    When was that? And in 2007 we were in the Championship. I am talking about about League One and lower exploits.

    Thank God on Reid. Beavon may be just because he will be on the bench tomorrow.

    Well done Biamou

    I kind of didn't want him dropped, but that was more to do with us having no-one to replace him. He's the only target man we have. I have always liked his all round play, but have always maintained that he has to either score or provide chances for others to score. Despite what some have said...

    which teams are now considered a big draw for round 5

    I can't quite fathom it out, but pretty much every time we are drawn against a top side we are totally annihilated and swept aside, yet other lower division teams seem to be able to give it a real go. Really nice for us to match a Premier side in Stoke, so I hope the tide has turned, but we...

    Remember though, the Luton game will have to be rearranged. It's the FA Cup weekend.

    So no Ben Stevens then? Interesting to see Maguire-Drew in there too.

    News on CWR Tuesday 8.15 ?

    Did she give any hint at all that it was even sporting related? If not it could be absolutely anything. City or Culture, development plans, PM visit, major store announced for Friargate. Could be anything. If she didn't mention the City or sport in general I wouldn't read anything into it at all.
