FA Cup 3rd round

[Simon's Church]

Great finish from Henry, if only he hadn't been forced out a few years ago...

[Svlad Cjelli]

For some decisions, yes of course. But for many others - no, because it'll then all depend on what camera angles were available etc and things like intent can't be properly judged on video.

Look at Goals on Sunday and see how many decisions are still being argued over 18 hours after the game - if you're going to have that level of uncertainty let's have it without stopping the game.

And once you have video replays, it's the inevitable slippery slope to having panels of experts )or even other referees) making the video decisions, and once that happens then we've got a compleetly different game.

Was such a class finish and it means I can ring my dad tomorrow telling him I told you so because he thought Henry might have lost it, but I said a player that good never loses it.

The best player I have ever seen at a live Reading game is Henry when Arsenal beat us 4-0.

True dat. Closely followed by Solskjaer when United beat us in the league cup...

Do you mean FA Cup? When they beat us 3-2 after scoring 3 in the first 6 minutes? OGS was good that night and his goal was insane!

Talking about that game I can still see Bryn hit the bar with Van der Sarr motionless, if only that went in

Yeah, that game. Was a great one that

[Maguire]

Just seen Henry's finish - bit undersold in the match reports I'd read ["Henry slid home from six yards out after a pass from Song"]. Was an excellent finish, great first touch and slotted away in typical Henry style.

Don't think he'll do much in the Prem though.

What a tedious w@nk-fest we have been subjected to when Henry - the self-insistent face of modern self-loving Arsenal - scores against a Championship team so dire that they contrive to lose to Reading

A quality finish is a quality finish. Although, I bet McCarthy would've saved it.

[No Fixed Abode]

Ramires scored a better goal against Pompey. Don't see anyone jizzing about that.

[YateleyRoyal]

Kompany's appeal dismissed.

[No Fixed Abode]

Kompany's appeal dismissed.

Mancini "Kompany will get red card recinded".

now he has a 4 match ban.

[Seal]

A snap from last night especially for Floyd & Spacey...

[M-U-R-T-Y]

Why is his face upside down?

[chilipepper91]

Also is that champers or a giant bottle of Budweiser?!

[Seal]

That is a giant bottle of Budweiser!

[chilipepper91]

Needs to get me some of them!

Although who said the FA Cup was being devalued, premium champagne being replaced with supermarket lager

[Seal]

We've got about a hundred lying round the office. Can sell you one for a fair price! There isn't a manufacturer in the country who can bottle Budweiser in such large bottles, so we have do do it manually every Friday before FA Cup matches!

And yes I take your point, it is rather crude, but so far the players have actually been very receptive, as it's a bit of a novelty, or they just don't really care.

[Compo's Hat]

I think the most exciting replay i'm looking forward to will be in Welsh!

[Silver Fox]

I feel we really should congratul8 Tredder's mob on last night's result. Do you know there are people in secondary education who had never known QPR to win an FA cup tie in their lifetime?

[Tredder]

For most of the game, i thought that was going to extend to adults.
