Weekend Football

[Royal Rother]

Absolutely ridiculous but it did amuse me somewhat that Bergvall was on the pitch and Tsimikas was not for that final pivotal moment. The word unjust doesn't do it justice.

Still, even if Liverpool are on a bit of a wobble at the moment, I suspect they'll be back on it in 4 weeks time and rip Spurs a new hole in their defence at Anfield.

(4 weeks! I don't like that.)

Whilst Liverpool were pretty poor, the decision not to send off Bergvall two minutes earlier was appalling. Standards of refereeing remain so low.

Agreed, peak little Stewie Atwell. i didn't even realise until the third replay or so that he'd made Tsimikas go off the pitch after receiving treatment

It's utterly clueless the level of refereeing in this country. You wonder why the standards at Reading's level are little better than a Sunday morning sometimes. Then you see dreadful standard of the PL and all becomes clear. Really doesn't help that VAR seems to add to the all round incompetence with even those sat reviewing countless slo mo replays from all angles still getting things blatantly wrong. And it's the second season running Liverpool have been "done over" by refereeing incompetence at Spurs - thankfully for them this time it's only a first leg in a second rate competition.

It's also a ******* stupid rule that players in receipt of treatment have to go off the field and can't come back on immediately. I get it's meant to cut out play acting but to be honest it has had zero effect and referees are quite capable of interpreting play acting as ungentlemanly conduct and booking offenders which is what the authorities should be pushing rather than penalising sides further for the temerity of having a player fouled.

Fantastic rule if you ask me!

Thing wot I did not know. Liverpool Sporting Director Richard Hughes - the part architect of their current contracts shambles - is a former Bournemouth and Portsmouth player, with over 100 Premier League games for the latter and winning the FA Cup, retiring in 2014.

Used to live in Italy, went to the British school in Milan, friend of the old skiing ex for those who like their deep-dive HNA knowledge.

Come on Tamworth!

That’s a reasonably strong Spurs line up too. How long until Son and Solanke are subbed on?

[Clyde1998]

Tamworth totally deserve extra-time, could've won it themselves!

Shame about the no replay rule change. Tamworth deserved a big replay by getting to 90 minutes at 0-0

[Brogue]

Which twat thought white numbers on the back of Arsenal white shirt was a good idea

Didn't the National League support the decision? If so, tough shit Tamworth.

Ridiculous penalty decision
A bit of justice with a superb save.
