FA Cup Final - Chelsea v ManU

[Jussi]

The worst part - it was all so predictable.

What was?

 

[hatterson]

Great decision by the assistant there. Very tight and hard to call, but looks like he was dead on.

 

[Havre]

Not sure if Chelsea lack energy, but giving away possession too easily.

 

[BKIslandersFan]

They could also just award them the CL trophy. That would make it semi intriguing.

You people are crazy. You don't think FA Cup winners should get a CL spot?

Oh right, you people all support top 6 sides and don't want the last CL spot going somewhere else, potentially.

Sheesh.

 

[Havre]

What was?

That it was going to be boring.

 

[Havre]

You people are crazy. You don't think FA Cup winners should get a CL spot?

Oh right, you people all support top 6 sides and don't want the last CL spot going somewhere else, potentially.

Sheesh.

Yeah. That is the reason.

 

[davemess]

United looking a little better, ball moving quicker and Pogba is further up the field.

 

[hatterson]

The CL spots should be given to the 4 teams that prove their the best over the course of the season, not to a team that had a weak draw and played a couple good games.

Sheesh.

What do you mean you people?

I won't be happy until I see all 20 EPL teams in the CL.

Btw manu/Chelsea are both top 6 teams soooo

 

[Havre]

The CL spots should be given to the 4 teams that prove their the best over the course of the season, not to a team that had a weak draw and played a couple good games.

Not to mention I think fans of teams like Swansea, Everton etc would find it quite intriguing just to play a FA cup final.

Chelsea fans as well I guess.

 

[davemess]

Alonso with zero trust in his right foot, trying to get it on his left and got his body shape way out of position.

 

[hatterson]

Can you imagine a Southampton team getting a CL spot while being relegated because they had a fairly weak draw and then a couple good games against Chelsea and United.

 

[Cassano]

Seems like a penalty for me.

 

[Power Man]

Lets not use VAR, lads

England should be the only country in Europe that gives it to the winners of cup competitions that teams big teams actually barely care about until the QF. If they did a smaller club would never win the thing.

 

[hatterson]

Yea that's a 50/50 call for me. He doesn't have a chance to react, but his arm is out.

 

[les Habs]

He actually could and should have taken that first time on his left and instead opted for his right. Was a nice play by Kante too.

 

[hatterson]

Great block there by Azpi

 

[davemess]

Young is so close, you aren't getting a Pen for that. Refs have been calling that as a non-pen pretty consistently this year.

 

[Jussi]

Seems like a penalty for me.

HANDLING THE BALL

Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with the hand or arm.

The following must be considered:
the movement of the hand towards the ball (not the ball towards the hand)
the distance between the opponent and the ball (unexpected ball)
the position of the hand does not necessarily mean that there is an offence
touching the ball with an object held in the hand (clothing, shinguard, etc.) is an offence
hitting the ball with a thrown object (boot, shinguard, etc.) is an offence
The goalkeeper has the same restrictions on handling the ball as any other player outside the penalty area. Inside their penalty area, the goalkeeper cannot be guilty of a handling offence incurring a direct free kick or any related sanction but can be guilty of handling offences that incur an indirect free kick.

Not a deliberate act.

 

[Gecklund]

Smalling has actually played pretty well today

 

[hatterson]

Martial has added a good bit of play since he came on. Super glad he's gonna be sold in the summer for far less than he's worth.

Wigan would have been in the Champions League whilst in the Championship I believe. Laughable.

 

[hatterson]

I completely forgot Sanchez was on the pitch until that shot. Completely invisible in the second half.

I'm not watching, but I read he had less pass attempts than De Gea in the first half.
