The FA Cup 2015

Good to see Bradford draw Reading; of the two lowest ranked teams left one definitely gets to Wembley.

 

Also glad that United will face Arse if they win tonight, so another "big" guy out.

 

Normally at this stage of the cup I'm hoping for big teams to contest the final so that the league gets an extra Europa place for us to fight for; but as we're nowhere near that fight I'm happily going to settle back into my default position of going for the underdog :).

Kilbane and Lineker talking sense against complete bollocks from Neville and Hodgson.

 

Neville says it's a "leg breaker" which it plainly isn't and the England manager suggests a penalty should be awarded because Rooney has to take avoiding action.

 

What planet do these people live on? That's a yellow for Rooney beyond doubt.

I dare someone to perform an academic research study of all controversial refereeing decisions to see whether they correlate with the annual turnover of the team getting the decision. Is the raw data available somewhere? I'd do it myself.

 

I doubt the raw data is anywhere, you'd probably have to just note all incidents yourself over a season and then do it all yourself!
