The FA CUP Fifth Round ** Spoilers ** [16th - 19th February 2018] + Replays

[BaZ87]

Oh Anthony Taylor. You might as well let the Wigan players do your job for you.

 

[Jokester]

Thought that was a bit harsh until I seen the replay. Nasty.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Hmm it's wreckless, not sure if it's a red though.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Deserved red but WTF is the ref doing?

 

[BaZ87]

The decision could have gone either way but Taylor clearly changed his mind after the Wigan players surrounded him.

 

[McBain]

Ref is a clown, why get the yellow out then bottle it.

But then this is a guy who gives a foul when Sane's foot is knee high cleanly taking the ball, Wigan player virtually diving heading it and he calls a foul for a high foot.

 

[Psycho Ned]

Loving the tunnel cam

Loving the tunnel cam

Pep not happy! Lol

 

[Nate75]

Loving the tunnel cam

All very dramatic lol...

 

[Derek W]

Not a red card.......intelligence shown by ex 'professionals' .....idiots get jobs easily these days.

 

[McBain]

Virtually all Wigan's chances coming from Danilo, he's an absolutely shocking player.

 

[omnomnom]

The refs allowed to change his mind. Its irrelevant anyway, thats absolute filth from Delph and its a clear red.

 

[sigma]

City gonna steam roller them in 2nd half?

 

[BaZ87]

The refs allowed to change his mind. Its irrelevant anyway, thats absolute filth from Delph and its a clear red.

What reason did he have to change his mind and why did he though? He clearly took his yellow out and was going to book him, Wigan's players surrounded him and he changed his mind. Doesn't set a great precedent and he's going to get pressurised constantly as a result both in the second half and games moving forwards.

As for the tackle, it wasn't filth. It's probably a red but it wasn't malicious and his body weight was grounded so wasn't overly dangerous either.

 

[Combat Fighter]

City gonna steam roller them in 2nd half?

Not necessarily, they ain’t invincible?! Lol

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Martinez has never seen Lukaku play has he?

He's in for a world of hurt in the summer if he expects him to take every chance he gets.

 

[Pigeon_Killer]

Taylor's having a shocker. Wigan player booked for winning the ball fairly, getting his foot trod on and making Danilo cry like a girl.

 

[Sargatanas2511]

Just saw the Delph tackle. Absolutely a red in my opinion, his studs were up and it was not controlled at all. He easily could have injured someone.

 

[Maundie]

Watched it 3 or 4 times and each time I change my mind, to be honest I don't mind him giving red there but he clearly gets the yellow out and starts writing on the card, Wigan surround him and all of a sudden it's changed to red.

I think though City are stronger without Delph on the field as I'm not sure what he brings to the table.

 

[BaZ87]

I'm a better keeper than Bravo.
