Carabao Cup 2022/23

[Colly]

Poetic justice if not actual justice.

[Twist]

Why is the commentator so confused why that was ruled out? It hits his hand and that leads to the goal, whoever it ultimately comes off.

In his defense I've no idea what the actual wording is, so hand onto player into goal might not be it. Don't know why he's sounding hard done by though, goal doesn't go in without the handball.

[Twist]

I’d expect the rule to be if a handball leads to a goal scoring action then the goal doesn’t stand. It wouldn’t stand if it came off Armstrong‘s knee following the handball, for example.

This is getting a bit testy now.

[Colly]

I've learned not to expect anything logical in the current over wordy Laws of the Game.

See, fucking madness:

I'm not convinced it comes off Armstrong's knee mind. I also have no faith that the refs remember all these little permutations. 

 

[Twist]

I don’t think it came off his knee. Silly really the rule is different for an own goal.

[Lineker]

That's Man Utd through to the final then.

[Baddar]

That'll do very nicely for a first leg score.

[TheGrandAvatar]

That's not very cupsety of United. 

[Colly]

The guy on SSN described Fernandes' goal as adding insult to injury. There's still 90 minutes to play, that's adding injury to injury. Amateurs.

[Colly]

I've never been his biggest fan, but love the fact they let Shelvey in the post match photo.

 

 

[Baddar]

Advantage Newcastle I guess. Two in one afternoon, cheers lads.

[Colly]

At least your fans could skip the Brentford game and not have to travel far. Or something.

Our Brighton game has already been knocked off of course, so we've got 3 games pre final, while Man Utd have 6. Depending on whether we try to squeeze Brighton or West Ham in somewhere as they don't have dates currently.

Waiting in utter anxiety for an email from the club on tickets today. Just had one, with an attachment. Season ticket payment details for next year. Fucking dickheads.

Did you get one?

[Colly]

Nope. The club in it's infinite wisdom decided that someone with 18 years as a season ticket holder who's been to countless cup, friendly, testimonial, women's etc games should be in the same pot as a non-member who's been to one cup game this season, so I missed out in the ballot.

I've got myself to blame to an extent, if I'd gone to Bournemouth I'd have been to 3 cup games this season and been guaranteed a seat, but I couldn't make the original date and couldn't get a ticket when they moved it for the ambulance strike. What this does mean though is that from now on season ticket holders will buy their seat for every cup game (which will hopefully include Europe of some description) going forward, so it'll be harder than ever for anyone else to get tickets. Under Keegan I only got to one PL game (the first one, a 1-0 loss to Spurs) due to it going all ST holder straight after, so I only got to cup games until the expansion, so many kids are going to miss out on that now.

Stupid club, Man Utd quite rightly just said "ST holders in a big pot, good luck".

[Twist]

Ahh that sucks, sorry to hear it.

In a way just really hope Loris has a good game and it doesn't go too badly for him. Not a fan of Newcastle. But kind of just want Loris to get his confidence back. 

[Baddar]

Nah I hope he has a fucking shocker.
