I wonder how the refs and var will conspire with the powers to be to avoid having to implement their alleged contingency plans vis a vis the clash with the championship play off final?

Just looked it up. Red cards apply across all competitions, yellow just in the cup. That is fucking ridiculous. Kasey should have got himself a red and he would have been able to play in the semi final. Which twat makes these rules.

Is taking a throw in from where the ball left the field of play not black and white?

Exactly. They make judgement calls every time they choose to play an advantage, or not. They ignore foul throws, players not taking throws from the correct place, goalkeepers holding on to the ball for longer than 6 seconds, shirt pulling. Either apply the laws at all times, or use some...

But he didn’t apply the rules, and neither did VAR, for the boot in the face.

As was the lay off from Simms.

If a ref was being assessed, would missing a red for a boot in the face not be a tad more important than not booking someone for celebrating a goal in the 10th minute of added time?

There are many, many times when members of football squads have encroached on to the pitch to join in celebrations without getting booked. So why this one? Is it because he hadn't got his shirt covered? Clearly not seeking an advantage by going on the pitch. Sa should have been booked for...

I agree. They won't be letting Palmer on the Wembley pitch.

It's not even possible.

Typical Grauniad, haven’t got the match stats right.

You didn’t need to look out for it, it was fucking obvious.

Could it be two if we end up playing on the Sunday? its the rearranged match against Hull which could be really important in 23 April.

Tough shit. He was trying to gain his side and advantage - cheating, you could see Bidwell was pissed off.

Good call.

Tye commentary said that in a goal scoring potential handball situation, it isn’t a case of looking for a clear and obvious error, it’s an absolute judgement - Was it hand ball or not? Hence taking a ridiculous length of time. The missed boot in O’Hare‘s face is damning and unforgivable.

I would say Simms. 2 goals and an assist, great hold up play and layoffs, winning headers. All round good play.

Careful, you have criticised a female pundit. It’s not allowed here.

24 shots, 12 on target. Well deserved victory. Wembley here we come. and the Wolves players crying in to the turf.
