Why wouldn't it be?

 

Just seems an unfair advantage for them, basically playing at their home ground.

 

Another pen!

 

Shame that wasn't tomorrow. I'd be interested if VAR would overturn that.

 

I doubt it, replays inconclusive.

 

With VAR, does the ref have to give a 'soft signal' and then VAR is used to overturn? Or can a ref say 'I want to see the replay before I make a decision' ?

 

I'm hoping we get to the 1/4 finals and draw them away...

12.5% of 90k please Mr Levy

 

They wouldn't be treated as the home team though. Toss of coin for changing room, same number of fans as the opposition. Don't think they would have an advantage TBH.

 

And we'd then get to win 3 games in a row at Wembley

 

They'd have an advantage in the sense of playing on the pitch all season etc. but no more than that I agree.

 

So what's that?...

OUT - Arsenal, Everton, Stoke, Burnley, Brighton/Palace
Replay - Chelsea, West Ham, Swansea, Bmouth, Leicester

 

4-2 Good game....congratulations to Forest.

 

He will have to give a decision first, then it can be overruled if it's clearly wrong.

This would imply that they have to make a decision first. And then call for a relay afterwards.

 

Playing some 25 games on it this season I would still say is a significant advantage.
Sorry, this is my hatred of spurs coming out here.

Scum. Throw the book at him.

I saw recently another coach at Crewe has been arrested.

Cheers, been wondering when that was. Do you know if that is to enter a plea or has he done that already?
