You understand that the FA Cup and the Europa Conference League are competitions overseen by completely differently organisations that have their separate rules agreed and published at the start of the season, yeah? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepyvillian Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 I blame the "Illuminati". Or the Lizards controlling VAR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do. Thanks for checking. Now please go ahead - make your reasoned defence for a player receiving 2 yellow cards in the same round of a knock-out tournament and not being suspended in the next round. I'll wait.

Are you arguing that the rules weren't correctly applied, or that the rule is a poor one which should be rewritten? Because neither are really what you originally said.

Davkaus Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 FWIW, I think the rule is quite a poor one and 2 bookings in a game should probably get you banned even if one was in the shootout, but the rule does seem to have been correctly applied And the application is irrelevant to our similar suspension for Martinez, not only because it's a different organisation's tournament, but because he wasn't banned for 2 yellows, he was banned for 3 yellows before the amnesty. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To have completely different rulings really does make no sense. Yes different governing bodies but the rules should be the same for suspensions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just phrased it differently to how you did Now care to answer my question or will you just respond with further questions because you know the FA resolution is indefensible? 2 minutes ago, Davkaus said: FWIW, I think the rule is quite a poor one and 2 bookings in a game should probably get you banned even if one was in the shootout, but the rule does seem to have been correctly applied And the application is irrelevant to our similar suspension for Martinez, not only because it's a different organisation's tournament, but because he wasn't banned for 2 yellows, he was banned for 3 yellows before the amnesty. I was replying as you replied Think it's silly, but correct. It does seem like some glitch in the matrix that we've got these little known penalty shootout specific rules around yellow cards that nobody has ever heard of, then we get two similar cases in 3 days. I'd literally never heard of this happening before Thursday Edited April 21 by Davkaus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Fair enough, you're probably right. Don't mind me. I'm just completely pissed off about the officials lately. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HKP90 Posted April 21 VT Supporter Share Posted April 21 And these guys, with their 1.2 billion pound squad, finishing bottom of their CL group, and finishing out of European places in the league, will still be allowed to spend more than us this summer by, like, a factor of 5. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobzy Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Man Utd rightly embarrassed and look woeful - confidence will have taken a right hit. Meanwhile, Coventry get to experience Wembley heartache on penalties for the second season in a row. That’s a win/win pals. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complete guess here... Because the next round is the final, a few competitions have scrapped the 2 yellow cards means a suspension for the final, you only get suspended for a red card, I'm sure that's a thing in the CL and world cup now Edited April 21 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again. Is the truth of it They can **** about with replays, days it's played on, kick off times, when they do they draw etc etc but when the final is 2 teams that it's hard to give a **** about it all falls apart anyway And for me personally that's the FA Cup 9 years out of 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyClarke Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 Just seen Forest highlights, three blatant penalties. Won't get them anywhere but can't blame them for that statement, to not get any of those is mind boggling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leemond2008 Posted April 21 Share Posted April 21 So today alone we have had: Villa win their second game in hand taking 6 points from them and really putting the pressure on Spuds Man Utd 3-0 up and blowing it in the last 20 minutes Coventry scoring in stoppage time of extra time and having it ruled out because the Cov player forgot to cut his toenails before the match Nottingham Forest going nuclear against VAR The ghost of Enckleman returns to Blackburn to concede a farcical goal which could lead to being one of the final nails in the coffin for the blues Its been a pretty eventful day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
