Defo handball and pen looking at replay

Is there no VAR today? 

Nope. All the money in the game at the top level but no VAR when little old rovers roll into town

[CambridgeRover]

Clear penalty imo

[GaryC]

Thought with them being a Premier League side VAR would be in place

Fuck me. No VAR I take it? 

Linesman is on that side of the field, no need for VAR that was pathetic.

Stop trying to defend the indefensible. 

I’m not sure I follow, how is that defending it? 
 

Poor mistake, I still think he’s probably better than Pears 

[rock steady]

Ref probably waiting for VAR to give the pen.

[simongarnerisgod]

will the master of the goalkeeping craft benson sort out leo?????

[New Jeru]

Time to start naming 11 outfield players and having them take turns in goal like we did as kids.

[GaryC]

Seen penaltys given for worse things, if it was against us would think it was harsh in my opinion

It was. Chelsea hand away from body stopped cross. 

[ItsRoverZ]

Is siggy on the bench? I'd bring him or dolan on for Markandy 

[moerpho]

So…who would take the penalty if given? Who in a yellow shirt out there would you be confident would score?

Only reason I can think him not giving it from his angle is cos Chelsea player turned his back. 

[GaryC]

Is anyone watching this anyway just keep.getting snippets off sky sports news

All I’m reading here is that Chelsea have two players on the pitch who are better keepers than Wahlstedt.

we ar`nt doing to bad,clanger from leo,chelsea are less the sum of their parts imo,despite all the money they`ve spent,they,like utd,are miles away from city,arsenal and liverpool

Gregg has been entrusted with the war chest and he's provided the German Chris Brown and the second coming of Alan Fettis.

Somoene said it earlier, Refs are probably used to letting things like that be decided by VAR so he didnt blow initially.

[garnersfags]

Really good performance again.

Sad that another mistake by Broughton has cost us. 

All to play for....

[roverblue]

It’s on Dazn if you have access to it. Played ok, usual lack of cutting edge up front after working it in good positions and a clanger from Leo 

[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

Still very much in this. The only player looking out of his depth for me so far is Moran. 

You need your keeper to play a blinder in these ties and that wasn’t it.

Is it still a war chest if it barely buys you a pack of water bombs and half a dozen off-brand super soakers?

[BankEnd Rover]

Looks like this is the season for keeping errors, how many goals have we gifted the opposition? 

[Tugayisgod]

A good first half performance marred by another poor goal conceded.

You accept that keepers will make mistakes from time to time but it's happened a bit too often this season
