The FA Cup 2014/15 thread

[LL!]

Jones? When did he come on?

Subbed in along with Carrick at the start of the half.

[Rainiac]

Hoo boy, that's a shocker by De Gea

Dreadful from Valencia. Knew there was a mistake coming but assumed it was coming from Smalling or Jones.

In fairness, when I commented (just after it happened) it looked like he'd missed it by a mile. On replay, I concede that there wasn't much else De Gea could have done

[Matt]

Ah yes Januzaj to save the day

[MJB]

He's just kept us in the FA Cup.

[Thrilla]

De Gea just kept United in this, cracking save.

[DavidMarrio]

He's just doing his job...

[MDK]

What a save

Hey yay yay yay yay, whats going on?

[Rainiac]

BBC pundits insisting that Di Maria had already been booked, when it was Herrera who was carded.

Wait, no, it's a red!

[DavidMarrio]

Wheyyyy Di Maria.

[LL!]

God damnit, Di Maria.

[MJB]

Di Maria sent off for basically being a cunt.

First the dive, then the reaction.

On the replay, even Rooney knows Di Maria's gone with the grab.

[Matt]

So Di Maria has been sent off and no one is sure why

[unitedツ]

Oh fuck off Oliver.

[Colly]

Div Maria.

[Matt]

Oh right, he put his hands on the referee. Should have been a straight red, not a second yellow.

[Rainiac]

So Di Maria has been sent off and no one is sure why

He pulled Oliver's shirt, so he's only got himself to blame

[Sam]

Oh fuck off is that a sending off. Pathetic ref. Bottles an actual red and then sends someone off for tapping on his back.

[MDK]

Oh fuck off Oliver.

While I agree with you that it was daft, but you can't do something like that without running the risk of getting sent off.

[Whisper]

Michael Oliver can't stop showing yellow cards - except when it means giving Bellerin a second yellow.

Ah well - good game spoiled (from our point of view) by two moments of stupidity from Valencia and Di Maria.

You can't touch the ref, glad the ref actually had a backbone and followed through with the ruling, might actually start to get players to show some respect to the refs if they start making strong decisions like that.
