    Utterly gobsmacked, Fergies gona go nuts at the ref for not giving Ronaldo a penalty, stil United only have themselves to blame.

    Chelsea have won the FA Cup

    Nothing God-like about Anderson in the last ten minutes. One shot from a stupid angle, another awful shot, a terrible pass that gave Pompey a chance to waste another 30 seconds and a poor tackle that wasted even more time.

    what exactly did they play? 10 men behind the ball and a poxy penatly that IMO was as dodgy as they come. as to how anybody can say that a man can foul somebody with his head is beyond belief. Kuz was wide open and baros ran into him.what a pathetic display from martin atkinson, he didnt give united a penalty, constantly got decisions wrong and then gets the biggest one wrong. It was not a penalty, barras ran in to his head and fell over. it was the most unbelieveable game of the season. it could have been 4 or 5 nil to united. it was one of the most one side games i have seen, as to how united didnt score, i will never never know.

    Ronaldo's dive against Derby and other silly dives cost him today and cost united imo

    Surely the smart money is on Pompy after today! Unbelievable result. It was a defo peno too, no way a red card though as the TK wasnt the last man.

    A penalty for Baros kneeing keeper in the face and taking a dive? ;)

    Well done Pompey and the Ref.

    Ah lads seriously, I agree the ref robbed United with not giving a penalty to Utd and Sending the keeper off but seriously how can anyone say that it wasn't a penalty for pompey

    thoroughly enjoyable game to watch.

    imo def pen anyway, he dived in for the ball, he didn't get it, he made contact with baros. Baros went down easy but the contact was there. doesn't matter in the slightest what part of Tom K made contact.

    Red card definately looked harsh though, with cover arriving behind him.

    Not a great performance by the ref, and United have every right to feel aggrieved for the pen he didn't give earlier

    so u almost kick a keeper in the head and its a penalty? watch the replay from behind the goal, it was a dive.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,745 ✭✭✭✭Villain


    LOL kick a kepper in the head lol, he was running away from the keeper the keeper dived at his feet and took him down, you'd swear Baros had jumped 5 foot in the air and kicked the keeper in the head, seriously your post is laughable.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,088 ✭✭✭Ruskie4Rent


    That was one of those games that we were never meant to win. After the 70 minute anslaught with no goal, i couldn't help but smile when the peno was given and rio went in goals.
    There was only gonna be one winner today.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,746 ✭✭✭Drag00n79


    Delighted with that. Well done Pompey!

    Go on the Pompey! Fantastic result

    I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one. Baros did go down too easy but it was a penalty.

    +1. It was a defo peno, TK didnt get the ball and he made contact with Baros, doesnt matter if it he made contact with his head, knee, shoulder or whatever.

    Jesus Christ will you just face up to losing the game?
    They defended well and yes got the luck that's needed to play United.
    However to say that is wasn't a penalty is madness. It's a stone wall penalty but it isn't a red card.

    Man just take the loss and move on to the other cups which are more important to yous than the FA Cup.

    no matter what angle you watch it from it wasnt a dive. "going down easy" is about the worst you can accuse baros of.

    homerjay, take off your united jersey for a mement and watch the replay again. tough luck on united but these things happen, thats why its the best game on the planet

    OH give it up will you. Sour grapes. They did a job and they got the result.
    Thats football!!

    I agree. I hope he learns from that. Dives like that don't help in the long run.

    I think if he stops Baros in any way, it's a straight penalty. Still not sure about the red card though, I don't know what the rules are exactly. There were 2 men behind him, does that count, or is it diff cause hes a keeper?

    Nonetheless, United brought it on themselves. I don't think anybody would claim that Pompey deserved to win that game, but United had plenty of chances to finish it off and shouldn't leave these things to luck. Nonetheless, the important thing was that this result was in the Cup and not the league. Still would rather to reverse the results we had with Spurs between the league and the Cup.

    Chelsea have pretty much won this cup, but the most interesting thing about this game, is that 6th place in the league now probably won't get a UEFA Cup spot!

    There's two rules really. It's last man but it can also be interpreted as stopping a direct goalscoring opportunity AFAIK.

    Yous were very unlucky to have him sent off for that and not have John O'Shea on the pitch either:p

    Well done Pompey.

    Nice.

    Congratulations Baros!

    Hmm, I distinctly remember Zinedine Zidane being giving his marching orders in a World Cup Final for something about fouling with his head, I can't quite remember...:p

    On the game; Pompey put in an excellent defensive display away from home today. Granted they rode their luck at times but in fairness they dug in and sneaked a goal. A legimate penalty too, Baros could definitely have stayed on his feet though. Harsh red card. United had a very good team out there today too. Possibly their best team.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,643 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    Disappointing result for United. Fair play to Pompey. They had a HUGE slice of luck but you need that to win at OT.

    I have to say I thought Nani was absolutely atrocious. I lost count of the amount of times he went to cross the ball and failed to beat the first man. It's all well and good having fancy touches but surely the golden rule for a winger is to get the ball into the box and he couldn't do that all day.

    Lots of style but very little substance.

    And you give out about Mr. Alan?! Lol


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,617 ✭✭✭✭PHB


    Nani's crossing was pretty bad today indeed.

    Not nice being on the receiving end of a poor decision, is it? I'm surprised at your outrage, given how often your team are the beneficaries of poor decisions and conned refs.
