The FA Cup 2014/15 thread

He didn't 'get a hand to it'. His hands were in the right position to save the initial shot. The ball was then deflected and it struck his arms.

Getting 80k a week doesn't change anything. Anyone who has played in goal will have had stuff like that happen and know that there really isn't anything you can do, it's all luck.

I thought United were going to start running away with it, but the other team have Preston and now have the lead.

Wasn't exactly a great deal of pace on the ball, and yeah I've played in goal plenty. Someone of De Gea's class should be saving that. I'm not saying he's at main fault for the goal, but I'd expect someone of his calibre to be making those important saves.

[Baddar]

Young on for Falcao. I kinda get it, as he's been poor, but again, there hasn't been a whole lot for him to feed off.

I don't see what anyone actually thinks he could have done. De Gea goes for the original flight of the ball, there's no fault in that.

Herrera! Let's stop fucking about now.

Rooney looked offside to me.

Please tell Martin Keown that it doesn't matter if he doesn't touch it. That's not the rule.

Wait, that isn't the rule, right? You don't have to touch it to be offside?

[Baddar]

I don't think he was interfering with the keeper at all then though, to be fair.

The ball is coming towards goal and he has a clear view of it. Rooney was stood to the right as the keeper looked and moved away from it as it was going past.

[MJB]

He causes the keeper slight hesitation before his dive. Personally, I think he's interfering.

Don't let little things like facts get in the way of commentating.

To be fair, I don't Shrek is offside there. The ball goes across him and thus he not obstructing the keeper's view. Tough one to call though.

[MJB]

Martin Keown on the Gallagher free-kick.

"It's a tough angle."

[ZJ Penn]

It's all interpretation but for me you can't be that close to the ball/keeper and not be interfering with play.

[Baddar]

He could have easily sent Davies off then.

[MJB]

And how is that not a second yellow?

[Liam]

Pretty much. If the ball almost hits you, you must be in some way interfering with play.

[Baddar]

FELLAINI!

[Asuka's Gonna Kill You]

[MJB]

It's probably a foul by Fellaini but nevermind

[Matt]

Fuck. When does the cricket start?
