Comments

  1. Unbelievable how Bayern was able to salvage a point at the death. It was literally the last play of the game. And what was Hertha’s GK doing playing in the middle of the box instead of in front of goal?Never seen that before in that kind of situation.

      • I personally thought the stoppage time was fair, with all the cramping that happened before the 90′ and the ~30 seconds of delay afterwards (leading to the free kick that had to be taken before the final whistle).

      • Fair enough, the free kick did have to be taken at that point. we will just have to disagree on the Initial 5. It shouldn’t have gotten to that free kick.

  2. “What a cup tie! One of the greatest shocks – one of the greatest matches – in the entire history of the oldest major competition in world football! Lincoln City have become the first non-league side to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup since Queens Park Rangers managed it in 1914. (That was the year Burnley lifted the trophy, a lovely additional historical quirk.) Their victory was hugely deserved; the Imps were magnificent from front to back. Burnley weren’t at their best, but they simply weren’t allowed to be, as the comical rolling spat between an irate Joey Barton and the uncowed Matt Rhead illustrated. So Lincoln’s hero, the goalscorer Sean Raggett, has become an instant FA Cup legend, not least because of that post-match interview. “No time for celebrations, it’s North Ferriby on Tuesday.” The unique glamour of the FA Cup right there. What a goal! What a quote! What a cup tie!”
