Wayne Rooney's Derby host Barrow - 2020-21 League Cup

[EIM]

Another disappointing semi. Getting more frequent since I turned 40.

VAR was always set to come in from the semis onward. In any previous round, then yes, the 'goal' would've stood - if that's what you're saying.

What if any logic or fairness is behind the decision to bring VAR in when only 3 games left in a competition?

Weyyyyyyyy.

Testosterone injections are available.

Testosterone injections are available.

Cavani wasn't available tonight.

There isn't much, no. But the point to which I was responding was that it was 'arbitrary': this had been decided by the wise owls some good while back.

Weyyyyyyyy.

(Wait until you hit 45.)

I dunno - I was at my peak at 45.

Now? Not so much.

(This lockdown's definitely getting to me, though. I read 'testosterone' as 'Toblerone' earlier...)

Apparently Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has now lost as many semi-finals as Man United manager as Alex Ferguson. And they said he'd never get close to his records.

Any findings gratefully received.

He doesn't have Fergie's magic watch and he has to coach in the VAR era. OTOH he only has one player who would get into one of Ferguson's peak sides.
