Swansea City at home in the FA Cup match thread

Excuse my ignorance, but how can they get a free kick, and a yellow card?

Retaliation?

RB saying the whistle went before the push. How did it restart?

Free kick to them as Scott made the original foul. The foul on him in retaliation was in essence before play resumed and fouls aren’t overturned like rugby. 

[Numero Uno]

Over an hour played and no shot on target. Have you achieved that in bigger stadiums Nige?

That’s what it was. I’m not sure of the rules here, even if it’s off the ball is it not a free kick, penalty in this case to us? That’s at least three pens, we should have had today.

On the stream I'm on all I can hear is the Swansea fans, our fans sound like they've gone to sleep. 

[Fordy62]

We have a bit more urgency. So this is probably when they score their second…

[Midred]

Are we relying on a Joe Allen sending off now?

I suppose the ball was dead though.

[Ziderarmy]

We’re trying to walk the ball into the next rather than getting a shot of as usual. So frustrating to watch.

Exactly. Basic football rules really.

Must have been waiting for VAR to make any decisions in the box for him,

Doing nothing here

They are only following the teams example?

[miketh2nd]

I feel like the more it gets scrappy the better chance we have but we have to string more than 2/3 passes together!

[Red Army 75]

Those ******* rugby lines piss me off. Stick your Bristol sport up your ass

did the ref signal for advantage? If not then there was no original foul.

and still no more subs, since the enforced one when Conway had to of off. 

[Carey 6]

Whole teams been poor, bad touches all over the pitch, it’s basics and they’re getting it very wrong.

I don’t see what other subs can be done to improve us tbh. Squad is so thin and weak

[2015]

Waste of a corner

how often do we say that, p1ss poor as usual

[RedorDead BCFC]

I hate short corners, complete waste of time

[Negan]

No way we just took a quick corner at 1-0 down with 2 players in the box…. 

[siuk101]

2 chances

[sephjnr]

Williams for Naismith, Sykes for Tanner.

Not unusual to have a smaller and quieter attendance for a cup game in fairness.

Surprised their fans are so excitable today. Almost as though they've forgotten it's just an FA Cup 3rd round game. Maybe they see it as more of a derby than we do?

 

[old_eastender]

Two chances!   Ball-n for Scott but just over his head, return cross finds AW, but heads wide.

[cityexile]

Andi close. We are just starting to create a few half chances.

Williams and Sykes on for Kam and Tanner.
