Whoever ‘We’ is, you got knocked out of the FA Cup because the opposition scored more goals than you. Games may be affected by refereeing decisions, but they are decided by goals.
So not having var saved Utd and having var got them to the final. The games only fit for banter now.
I am a little confused by this statement above. It gives the impression that Leicester City would have won the game if the Maguire goal had been disallowed, but the score at that time was 1-1, not Leicester City leading 1-0. There would still have been extra time to be played, then a penalty shoot out if the scores were still level at the end of extra time.
Yes exactly. United’s 93rd minute winner resulted from a bad refereeing decision, but the point stands that Leicester didn’t score more goals in the previous 92 minutes. That is what cost them the game.
A reference/reaction to Brighton 3 Chelsea 0, presumably?
And according to the same organisation they had 52,452 against Charlton this afternoon!
North West Counties Football League...Premier Division
According to Wikipedia, the seating capacity of Birmingham City's stadium is 29,409.
Yep, BBC had 52,452 when it should have read 25,542. (1,977 Charlton fans)
Around 200 aways boosted the gate @ Gigg, and noisy they were too! Quite a unique situation as most aways are barely a handful. But WD&C get gates at home of over 1000, to have two clubs in the NWCL getting that is remarkable when normally 200 is a good gate for all clubs.
Not sure I can see Leeds losing the title from here. It feels like Sheffield United haven't played well in 3 months and Burnley's only strategy is to bore their opponents to submission. As much as I'd like to see Sunderland promoted again, they really don't have enough experience to surmount a significant title charge.
Sheff Utd v Leeds next week will be a big indicator on the title. Personally, I’m not bothered about being top, it’s the gap to 3rd that matters to me.
Bury's regular attendances are remarkable, as are WD&C's. FC Isle of Man was getting similar crowds in their first season, at the step below, but the excitement of that first season has faded and FCIOM seems to have settled at about the 700 mark. Though it'll be interesting how many WD&C bring over.
The Bury and WD&C average attendances are higher than in the majority of the Premier League clubs of the higher level Northern Premier League.
Is that what used to be called the Freight Rover/LDV/Autoglass trophy/shield?
Or Johnstone’s Paint Trophy. Or Micky Mouse Cup!
See that the start was delayed by 11 minutes, not the first time that theis has happened at St Andrews.
