What a pisser.

Big smile 
As red cards go, they don't come any stranger - but sometimes nature calls.

In what might be an FA Cup first, a goalkeeper was sent off for "urinating in a hedge" during a match.

The keeper in question is Connor Maseko of Hampshire side Blackfield & Langley FC, who play in the ninth-tier Wessex League.

The incident occurred in the 76th minute of their 0-0 draw with Somerset side Shepton Mallet FC in Saturday's FA Cup first qualifying round tie.

"The ball went out for a goal kick," Blackfield & Langley FC co-manager Conor McCarthy told BBC Sport.

"He needed to go to the toilet so he went up against a hedge and their players started shouting saying 'what's he doing?' to the ref. The ref went up to him and decided to send him off.

"He (Maseko) protected himself. He was inside the hedge. Sometimes when you have to go you have to go.

"I was gobsmacked. I didn't expect that [sending-off].

"We're all pretty shocked by the decision."

At the time, a post on Shepton's Twitter account said: "Blackfield keeper is sent off for urinating in the hedge! Never seen it before."

The game will be replayed and Blackfield tweeted: "See you Tuesday evening (hopefully get plenty of toilet breaks en route)."

Shepton, tweeting about the the replay of 'urinate gate', added: "After an unusual red card in the first tie (possibly a first), we are looking for a match sponsor. Plumbers or portaloo companies, take advantage!"

6 changes in the Arsenal team, although Holding is the only one you’d say significantly weakens it. Being 5 point clear with a game in hand, I can see why the cup would be sacrificed, but beating a strong City would have been a big confidence booster.

City upped it after half time and got the goal but overall weren’t anywhere near their best
Hard to see a style of play at times with City this season

Wouldn’t be too confident about the league game at the Emirates after that

Everything looks rosy with Arsenal, a few first teamers rested and they were still as good as City. Sub goal keeper played well. Trossard settled in very quickly. Their recruitment of players has been excellent too.

You’d imagine Arsenal will be confident of taking at least 3 points off City. Certainly a lot closer than they have been in many years. City controlled the game well in the 2nd half though and Arsenal created nothing in the 2nd half.

Tierney’s a great defender and someone I thought should have been made captain during the Aubameyang debacle. But he lack quality on the ball, especially in comparison to Zinchenko. And with the aim of Artetams teams being domination of the ball, it’s hard to push for Tierney’s inclusion in the starting XI.

He's desperate. You see how much United struggled while he was on the pitch today. They were playing with 10 men until he went off.

As for Fulham. Madness. Pure madness. Mitrovic is a disgrace. Fair enough if the ref made a mistake but it was a stone wall penalty. Even after Silva was absolutely deluded in his interview as if they'd been hard done by with the decision. Hard to fathom.

Despite their high league position this season, imo a cup was their only real hope of getting into Europe this season.

For the stats/xG etc indicate that their results have been "better" than trheir actual performances have merited, especially early on. It is very difficult to maintain that for a whole season, meaning I think they'll do well to finish top half of the table - maybe 10th?

As per above, Mitro scored 9 goals in his first 13 PL appearances, but only 2 in the 16 games since. Tbf, he's had injuries and suspensions as the season has worn on, but it may also be the case that PL defences have worked him out by now?

While his squad back-up, Vinicius (2 goals in 18 PL appearances) simply isn't good enough for a PL team with serious ambitions, as was seen durinhg his previous loan spell at Spurs.

Quintessential flat-track bully. His two goals against Ireland in March 2021 are an encapsulation of what he does. Our defence was ropey that night, and our keeper had a bit of a mare. To the naked eye, the goals themselves looked pretty good, but against a robust defence he scores neither of those goals. I was surprised he was as prolific as he was this season, and his career has revolved around scoring a handful of PL goals, before dropping to the Championship and tearing it up, and coming back up.

When he's fit and used correctly, he's more than enough quality for the premier league.

Fair enough. But I never said he wasn't quality enough for the PL. My point is he is good enough against average opposition, but there is a reason a 'Top Six' club have never really come after him.

Some say the two keepers are still there trying to save a penalty

Last season's final between Liverpool and Chelsea started at 16:45.

London's Metropolitan Police has categorised the derby match as high risk and objected to a later kick-off time on security grounds.

Three fairly major VAR decisions there. I think United have kept pace well, but without the penalty, I don’t think they were scoring in that half.

Grealish is some fanny. Don't know how the ref can book Bissaka and not book Silva kicking out at Shaw.

Some goal though from Gundogan. Poor defending from Varane I think it was to let the ball bounce before going for it.

Tone was set a bit when Casemiro was given a free kick for that tackle on Akanji.

Missed that but saw people saying it could have been a red and a joke that the free went his way.

Gundogan again and United are gonna hand De Gea a new contract

My view on the contentious decisions 

Casemiro foul - borderline red, seen them given

United penalty - can’t complain those are the rules 

Fred on de Bruyne - also a penalty, he trips him. Amazed the pundits said he was simply “taking his ground”

Fred could have been booked 3 times before he was also 

Wasn’t a classic, scrappy game but nice to get over the line

A united fan got arrested for wearing a shirt with “97 wasn’t enough” on the back to todays game

You’d wonder at what point did he think any of that was a good idea

Maybe he was talking about 1997 season when they won just the league

Embarrassing to think someone thought that was a good idea. As a united fan was disgusted when seen the photos no doubt was done for the "banter"

6 changes in the Arsenal team, although Holding is the only one you’d say significantly weakens it. Being 5 point clear with a game in hand, I can see why the cup would be sacrificed, but beating a strong City would have been a big confidence booster.

Everything looks rosy with Arsenal, a few first teamers rested and they were still as good as City. Sub goal keeper played well. Trossard settled in very quickly. Their recruitment of players has been excellent too. 


Remember Arsenal lost 1-0 at the Etihad and everyone loved it as they “played better than city” and it’ll be one less competition for them to worry about in the run in 

Ah bless LOL
