No conspiracy thinking here from us S B, it was just an innocent 'what if' question.
We should not let this go, the game is corrupt to the core (1 Viewer)

- Start date
but just like with the goalkeeper timewasting - they never get sent off for 2 dissent type incidents - otherwise he would have been sent off straight after the yellow in the 1st half, when he proceeded to waste time - all keepers take it to the limit knowing they will be ok (even ours)
also as regards the offside- Without VAR any linesman with a perfect view would not give it offside . 98% of Wrights body was behind Wan Bissaka - and just a toe pointing out as he was leaning backwards with Wan bissaka running forwards - Looking along the line the linesman would in fact see wrights body behind wan bissaka . This is where VAR is in fact changing the rules or at least the spirit of the rules
I was wrong
Probably why he wouldn’t have recorded two yellows
Pete Griffiths A goalkeeper may be cautioned or sent off during penalties (penalty shoot-out). If the goalkeeper receives a red card:
➡ one of their team-mates, who is on the field of play and eligible to take kicks, must become the goalkeeper (the team cannot make a substitution and replace the sent-off goalkeeper or any other player with a substitute goalkeeper)
➡ the opposing team must withdraw one player (to equalise the number of players) and inform the referee which player is being removed

I mean Robins has said next to nothing about this and the club have said absolutely nothing.
VAR use needs reassessing but this is getting into Q levels of nonsense by people who spend far too much time in a Facebook alternative universe.

So the numbers are even for the shootout. Otherwise they are actually at a disadvantage as the opponents will get round to their better takers again quicker.
Garth Crooks the latest to say it was an injustice. We won 4-3. This season the second greatest in our history.
So. Next time we get to Wembley and it goes to pens here’s the plan:
- train 5 players to be outstanding pen takers
- everyone else gets sent off immediately
Win the coin toss!! Teams always win pen shootouts in front of their own fans Man City apart as their fans are so thick they put their own players off !
the team who go 1st win 60.5% . I would imagine shooting in front of your own fans is at least 60% also
so to go 2nd in front of opposition fans would be only around a 16% chance of winning
The 4 major penalty shoot outs i can remember - we always went 2nd in front of the opposition supporters (losing the toss 8 times or odds of 255/1)
Sheffield United/ Birmingham / Luton/ Man u
Such a simple situation to overcome, achieved by limiting it to one toss. It's infuriating!
Id actually have the penalties at both ends, each side takes their 5 in front of their own fans and i likes the tennis tie break experiment they tried, i.e one team starts, the next has 2, then the next as 2.
At Wembley fine. Otherwise every ground would just ensure they had their own fans behind both goals.
Would they? Just for one match? Also why are FA Cup semi finals and penalties? Every other round beforehand has replays, so that in of itself is utter bollocks. Had not paid much attention to VAR and later rounds of FA cup as i never thought it would all be relevant to us, but f@ck me, the game is in a bit of a mess to be fair!
We lost to Forest Green aswell… only pen wins I can remember were Sheff Utd, Burton, Swansea in the checkatrade and I think we beat Colchester in the FA Cup under Black
EDIT: we beat forest green - we lost to Yeovil.
here’s our record in the 2000s
