FA Cup 2023/24

Post festive blues in these FA Cup matches. Quality is dire, expect the rest of weekend’s games to follow suit.
 
That was worth waiting for
 
Hopefully the Sunderland - Newcastle game is a fun watch.
 
How the feck is Craig Pawson allowed to referee this weekend?
 
Feel like this is a bit of an awkward kit combination. Or maybe I'm just getting old.
 
is there a reason Newcastle couldn’t wear their away kit? This is too similar for my brain to comprehend
 
Cheers.

I think I may become a ref, seems a piss easy job, just do what you want and never get fired. Literally just repeatedly feck up and your job is safe as houses.
You wonder if something will happen with Pawson once the DCL appeal is heard. If they dropped him now it is an admission he got it wrong before they appeal happens.

It’s impossible to see who’s who when scrambling in the penalty box for a corner etc. Why have Newcastle been allowed to wear their home kit when it’s indistinguishable from Sunderland’s from a distance?!
 
He was on VAR and recommended the red for DCL.

That should have warranted him either a suspension or a severe demotion.

Seriously, I thought they would be wearing the kit with the Saudi colors. The kit combination for the 2 teams is just terrible, even on a clear day.

It's red, white and black vs black, white and red. I'm constantly doing double checking who's who. :(
 
Nice, stop the flow of the game for the officials to piss about.

Just gives us a minute to highlight that Pawson has been rewarded for his supreme VAR work with one of the highest profile cup ties.
 
I've been watching on projector but just checked by switching on the TV in the bar instead, kit clash isn't half as bad.
 
Hope the kits don't clash as bad on the pitch, this is difficult to watch.
