24 25 English Cup Thread

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

    In the meantime, feel free to join our Discord Server
Definitely a foul out of frustration, but I don't know that it was yellow card worthy. Bruno backed his butt into it
 
another ball on the pitch is reason to stop the play? really? huh my experience is otherwise

I think the yellow was for the foul and the confrontational attitude after the foul as opposed to just the foul.

If he just gets up and jogs off, he likely doesn't get carded.

If it wasn't already over (it was), bringing Sterling on is waving the white flag

And here come the mocking posts





I’m sure the reactions will be completely normal

I expect PGMOL to arrest Gordon and relegate Newcastle to the conference league for this - there's no mocking allowed in this sport.
 
Hasn’t this always been an auto whistle?
Technically referees have discretion if they feel the second ball is not going to interfere with play. Realistically it's only ever used if there's a clear scoring chance for one team and the second ball is way away from everything.

I don't recall the circumstances from the game yesterday to comment on how it fits in with that.

Arsenal bring it on themselves.

If you want to talk big you have to back it up. Not get utterly trounced on.
Havertz best opportunities were crumbling to the ground hoping for a call.
Really awful stuff...

FYI - my post was sarcasm, because the FA has decided to start cracking down on mocking celebrations after MLS did the Haaland celebration over the weekend, even though they were completely fine with it before Arsenal did it.

I am fine with Newcastle mocking us. They deservingly beat us in both legs.

How can they crack down on celebrations?
Foden mimicks firing a gun which is bizarre to me (sniper inference ?)
I can see that or those types of celebrations with violence... (throat slicing, etc) getting phased out...
But copying haaland? who can claim those as theirs anyway?
Granit Xaha (spelling) was always good at mocking celebrations.... some are funny....
 
Less than three minutes in and Richarlison faking a head injury. Going to be one of them
 
This is so soothing to watch not really caring who wins, it's been too long

Gotta be honest, Liverpool's touches are so dang smooth
