I don't think many on here can even kick a ball. He was likely pretty nervous to start with and coming back from an injury is hard. Even when they tell you that it has healed, the mental aspect is very difficult. You worry about it happening again, you are just back and don't want to face time away from the game. It sucks to be injured and worry you will never be right. Then you get the odd phantom pain or twinge and that plays with your mind a bit. All the while you are trying to concentrate ion the game, anticipate and get in position. He'll need quite a few more minutes on the pitch before he'll be able to just settle in and play. Give the lad a chance!

He is utterly diabolical. It's like his footballing brain is powered by hamsters.

Good. Stupid foul was what lead to Derby's first goal. He's utter ****, can't pass, can't cross, can't shoot, can't head, **** at defending and attacking. Nice haircut though...

Probably at one of his crosses disappearing into the crowd.

Another cross bites the dust...

What is that chump still doing on the field. Eff off Ely.

****ing chokers!

So how's Murphy dealing with that? I'm watching a Eurosport stream.

Credit where credit is due, peach of a dinked cross by Ely, but then LOng contrives to not score, but then luckily this time Armstrong didn't miss the bigger sitter. EDIT: REdderds!@@@

That was a triple whipping boy special!!! LOL

Finally, someone takes a pop. Unlucky Redmond.

But then it gets a bit subjective rather than objective. That kind of latitude allows refs to get away with favoring the big boys with a shrug and "it wasn't a howler".

So if they had VAR at the league cup final and saw that Gabbi was just onside would that be a "horrible" or enough of a "shocking error" to look at it?

Well obviously some would be complaining.

So who decides what constitutes a "shocking error"?

Of course. We'd be disappointed about it being really close but a fair cop and nothing to complain about.

WTF? On the replay I saw i was clearly offside. Close but still offside.

He showed great pace and swung in a couple of very good crosses, one of which Long conspired to miss from 3 yards out. He got booed for diving in to a challenge rather recklessly so that might have curtailed him a bit.

Dunno what people are carping about. Other way around and I'd be fine with it. It was offside. So what's the deal? Determined to hate VAR no matter what? or trolls frothing at the mouth to see us lose and go on a wind up?

He started really well to be fair.

Utter utter gash that player. Hopefully last chance saloon for him tonight.

Probably tried to kick the ball, missed and kicked himself...

Stream iu'm watching he was clearly offside. Close but his foot was ahead.

That's how to ****ing finish though... talking to Ely, Long, Armstrong!
