  1. i dont understand how you can get a ban in premier league to be transfered to a cup. Each competition should be isolated.

  2. No. Nick Pope was a complete idiot for charging out like that and it’s a clear handball. Correct decision of a Red Card. Yet…we have idiots like Gary Lineker wanting Pope to play in the Final.

  3. So here's the scenario.

    Man United bombard the Newcastle goal, but Nick Pope is having the game of a lifetime, nothing will beat him. Game finishes 0-0.

    Match goes to penalties and Nick Pope saves all those penalties taken by United.

    Newcastle win the Cup, because of that player that was suspended, but the rules got bent to allow him to play…🤔

  4. It is a clear and obvious red card, if a suspension is obtained in a competition then the suspension should be served in that competition, far too many rules

  5. What happens if a player gets a red card in the last Premier League game, and then they end up going to another league in the summer? Would they have to miss the first 3 games of the season in their new league?

  6. he can appeal it, but if they lose the appeal he must be suspended for the next season… seems about fair for how obvious the card was

  7. He slides to deflect the ball then grabs the ball towards his body, probably muscle memory impulse. No way it just touched his hand by accident!!

  8. Pope was a red. End of. Bruno accidentally stood on a foot and sent off via VAR. Sabitzer getting no card is a f*****g disgrace. Coote is reffing the final and has screwed Nufc three times already this season. Badly. If it IS close, it's game over…

  9. Adjusting his collar lol, as I have said before, it has nothing to do with intent, it has to do with the hands around the throat! it may not be aggressive but its not allowed, its that simple.

  10. He handled the ball like 40 yards out, easiest red card all day. Why are we even questioning this? Just because we want the newest Saudi darlings to win a trophy?

  11. Crazy to appeal, Pope illegally stopped a clear goal scoring opportunity. Will not be fair to others that served 3 games out. Go change the rule

  12. As red I should be happy Pope will. Miss the final. But as a football fan I m not.
    I think a red card was too much. It was an instinctive reaction from Pope not a cynical preplanned action. Yellow at most.
