Today's footie 19.3

[tiger76]

Blades-Rovers 1st up, I'd like a Blades for 2 reasons, firstly it might distract them in the league, secondly I for one don't want Rovers at Wembley.

[tarkys_ears]

...

[Darnhill Claret]

The game I will enjoy. The result itself, not bothered either way. Just want Brighton to get to the final for personal financial reasons.

[Quickenthetempo]

Blades will be up for it, the million pound they make from the semi could stop admin.

[AfloatinClaret]

Blades will be up for it, the million pound they make from the semi could stop admin.

That's the truth, especially with automatic promotion beginning to look less certain; without a cash injection from somewhere, they could be in deep dodah.

[Tricky Trevor]

Both sides full strength. The pull of Wembley?

[Bosscat]

Utd should be 1 up Rovers keeper made a good save

[tiger76]

2 big chances for Sheff Utd not taken.

[Bosscat]

A real "Thud and Blunder" cup tie

[tiger76]

Rovers ahead through a controversial handball penalty.

raggy bastardos

[AmbleClaret]

1.1 get in

Given by Tierney on VAR, I don't think the on field ref was going to award it.

1-1 with a stunner.

[Bosscat]

Cracker OG by Gallagher

[taio]

Good second goal by Rovers! Shot going well wide.

Only put the game on now as Sheff Utd equalised, so missed the penalty. Is VAR in operation? I thought it was only at Premier League grounds?

[tiger76]

Cracker OG by Gallagher

Yes not a stunner after all my bad.

[AGENT_CLARET]

Please please please draw city at Wembley B@stards if you get through

[4:20]

well, that was satisfyingly comical

usually it is only PL grounds, however it's in operation at all grounds from the quarter-finals onwards.

[claretburns]

Not wanting any favours for the Horse fans, but surely that should be a 2nd yellow for Robinson?

[4:20]

Sheff lucky to have 10 men on the field.

[Aclaret]

Can't bring myself to watch this one.
Come on Sheffield !

[AGENT_CLARET]

Sheffield are a real dirty team, they should of had 3 player's sent off over the past 3 games before this one

[ElectroClaret]

A real "Thud and Blunder" cup tie

It is.
Looks like great stuff for the neutral, would be great for me if i desperately didn't want one side to get absolutely battered.

[Bosscat]

Is just me or does anyone else chuckle when the comms mention Sheff U's Ahmedhodzic ... because it sounds like "I'm a Sausage" on my TV

Shouldn't be allowed to play in my opinion, not just today but any game.

[claretblue]

A real "Thud and Blunder" cup tie

I see what you thid dare Boss!

[tiger76]

1-1 at the break, and as tight and fiercely contested as you'd expect between 2 of the better Championship sides.

Probably be totally wrong but it would surprise me if this finishes 11 a side, and every chance it will go to extra time judging by that first half.

[Pickles]

VAR is used from this stage of the competition onwards. I'm sure there's an obvious answer but what would happen if Grimsby were at home and don't have the VAR facilities/equipment? What if a team from non-league made it this far?

[Clive 1960]

Really enjoying this game both teams want it and not much in it end to end proper cup tie.

[4:20]

I would've loved to have seen us compete in the quarters at this level. Alas, final boss battle it was. Cheers, Alan.

[Caballo]

It's exciting, but there's not much quality about it.

[FCBurnley]

Easy they only draw the top clubs at home in 6th round

[alwaysaclaret]

Would have been harsh for Robinson imo, got the ball obviously, got the man with follow through but would have been harsh.

[4:20]

Sheff start well, please please keep it up.

[Bosscat]

Wow what s save

[FCBurnley]

8 players on a yellow card. Get another and they miss the semi but if they get a red they can play on semi but miss next league games !!!

[4:20]

phew

[claretburns]

Swansea leading Bristol City 1-0

[nil_desperandum]

Only just started watching.
If VAR is there to correct clear and obvious errors, then that penalty decision was appalling.
Blackburn didn't even appeal for a penalty and were happy with the corner awarded.
We'd be absolutely fuming if VAR gave that against us.

[nil_desperandum]

I'm not doubting what you've said, but that makes absolutely no sense at all.

[Pickles]

Do Sheffield United fancy having a shot at some point?

[Swizzlestick]

Mildly irritating that we couldn’t play one of these for a place in the semis rather than Norwegian cyborg and friends.

[Bosscat]

McAtee should have scored there

[ElectroClaret]

Great chance wasted.

[ElectroClaret]

Shoite.

[Tricky Trevor]

Well thatwas30secsof the worst defending you’ll ever see.

[Tricky Trevor]

Blades overplay every time they get near the fiddlers penalty area.

[evensteadiereddie]

Come on, Rovers.
I want to see them absolutely battered in the SF.
