The initial pass by Aboubakar was far too late.
VAR also took far too long to deal with it.
I thought he was onside on the pass but Aboubakar was offside when the guy took the shot, which I think is why it took VAR centuries but they eventually got it right, as did the linesman.
I'm just tuning in. What were the penalty decisions like? I see they were awarded to the host nation after they went a goal down.
That's 3-1 if Aboubakar passes there.
Tavares subbed off after 35 minutes of shockers
Forest could easily win this.
Brennan Johnson looks like some player.
In what world is that not a backpass?
Beautiful stuff.
All the second stringers looked absolutely terrible, the first team stars not much better. The silver lining is surely we will sign some midfielders ASAP.
Lewis Grabban has the shittest beard I've ever seen.
Deserved for dressing up like Spurs.
Getting murdered in their bent little knife crime kit lmao.
And there's the first red of the tournament.
Roy Keane's punditry is so lol. 'They didn't turn up here and say: we're Arsenal Football Club'. No wonder that lot all failed as managers.
VAR will ruin that tournament.
This game is complete dogshit. Where is the Asian Cup?
This game is much like Turkmenistan v India would be at a similar stage, the difference between the two is about 4 nations can win the Asian Cup whereas about 12 can win this.
Hugo Sanchez would be proud.
Arsenal must have been too tired after their midweek game.
Doing some pretty creative accounting there to count Israel and lean on randomers winning it 40 years ago. Last 6 Afcons, 6 different winners, 10 finalists.
I just find it fascinating how riled up you get about me putting a couple of posts in indicating my enjoyment of a particular game. Proper tears rolling down cheeks stuff.
3 of the last 4 AC winners (including the last 2) were first-time winners. Not a single one in the last 4 AFCONs. Telling.
I was watching the game and posting about it as well. I tickle some balls and next thing I know you're blasting out full racism so potent it had Giggles PM-ing Phonics.
He was PMing me earlier for 'Paki jokes' he could use on you. I told him you were white now and he went off in a strop.
The Asian Cup ranks on a par with women's football.
You’ve definitely found that button @Don. I was beginning to think he was the only one here that didn’t have one.
Is this the magic of the cup?
The Pongo (now in an old people's home retweeting SNP propaganda between injections) used to give me the same stuff when I posted about Afcons getting on for 15 years ago, there's obviously something about me enjoying it that people find frustrating.
The Pongo was STAUNCH as fuck. No chance.
I’m shocked
Yeah but Trent was positive so completely justified imo.
Once again, what do you think was our thinking? That we might be able to delay it enough to have Salah, Mane and Keita back for the 2nd leg? That Nat Phillips and Harvey Elliot might be back? That we'd be well rested for Shrewsbury and instead be in worse shape for Palace away?
That you wanted a week off and could beat Shrewsbury with children.
Covid has conveniently ceased to be an issue during FA Cup weekend. And we have Wigan's owner claiming we should extend the season to allow them to catch up.
It's because the FA told everyone to get on with it.
I'm yet to see the highlights, but I'm presuming Jose has exploded?
I played cricket against Milner when we were 16 so I've always been right with his age, but I thought Grabban was getting on when he played for us in the Championship which must be four years ago now.
If you want to feel old, Shaun Wright-Phillips' son made his debut for Stoke today.
Kind of annoyed his surname's not triple-barrelled. D'Margio, though. Wow.
