Var Controversy

Jimbo has Daniel Storey, Duncan Alexander and Matt Davies-Adams for company after an FA Cup 5th round weekend that has a bit of everything. Holders Man United are knocked out on penalties at Old Trafford as their deficiencies are laid bare again. But for Fulham, could Marco Silva be about to earn some tangible reward for the phenomenal job he’s done? Earlier on Sunday, Brighton are victorious at Newcastle after extra-time. It’s a truly costly afternoon for the Magpies as they lose Anthony Gordon and perhaps more players ahead of the Carabao Cup final. Palace progress past Millwall but all the talk is dominated by the horror challenge on striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. Similarly, Bournemouth’s win over Wolves sees plenty of discussion about the 8 minute VAR delay and the extent to which Matheus Cunha has just let Wolves down. Plus Lampard’s Sky Blues, and IFAB’s new law on goalkeeper time-wasting. Produced by Charlie Jones. RUNNING ORDER: • PART 1: Fulham beat Man Utd on penalties, with Carl Anka and Elizabeth Barnard (06.00) • PART 2a: Newcastle 1-2 Brighton (16.00) • PART 2b: Crystal Palace 3-1 Millwall (23.00) • PART 2c: Wins for Villa and Preston (27.00) • PART 3a: Bournemouth beat Wolves on penalties (32.00) • PART 3b: Man City 3-1 Plymouth (40.00) • PART 3c: Lampard and Birmingham on fire in the EFL (45.00) • PART 3d: IFAB’s new 8 second rule (50.00) Hosted on Acast.

Chelsea’s season is under the spotlight as we question if they can still secure a Champions League spot, and we analyse Manchester City’s new signings—was Pep Guardiola unfair to start 20-year-old Khusanov at the weekend?

We're back with another episode of Glory Days of Gold, the East Fife and Scottish football podcast recorded across two continents.East Fife's fantastic unbeaten start to the year continued with an away win at Stranraer and a stunning four-goal late, late show this past weekend at home to Edinburgh City. Wins that see the Fife extend their lead at the top to five points, and with the return of a couple of key injured players, it's bad news for the rest of Scottish League 2 as the team are at full strength and firing on all cylinders.Michael, Doug, Andrew, and Aaron are back to chat about all of that and look at the recent key additions, rumours, the path ahead, and even vent about VAR.

Kelly Cates presents Super Sunday from Anfield alongside Jamie Redknapp, Jamie Carragher and Izzy Christiansen who watched Arne Slot’s first home match as Liverpool manager in their 2-0 win against Brentford. Goals from Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah secured the points for the hosts in what was a comfortable victory and Redknapp says it’s been a great start for the new boss but the transition from Jurgen Klopp to Arne Slot will take time and needs patience. There is also reaction from captain Virgil van Dijk who says he is calm about his future despite entering the final year of his contract. Arne Slot gives his postmatch thoughts and praised the defensive performance and felt Brentford could not cope with Liverpool as the game progressed. Thomas Frank also conceded that Liverpool were the better team and deserved the win. There was controversy in the earlier game between Bournemouth and Newcastle as Dango Ouattara’s injury-time winner was ruled out for handball and Carra labeled the decision as ‘terrible’ saying that there is no way the VAR can factually determine it comes off Ouattara’s arm.
