Yes. Unless you were one of those miserable types that stopped in on the 31st of December, 1999.

Whether it was a handball or not doesn't really matter, there were 5-6 decisions he got wrong during the game, spread across both teams.

If only there'd been VAR...

I'd have thought we were a bit lucky if we were given a penalty for that. That said, I reckon it's one of those where if it was given VAR would have agreed as I don't think it's clear enough either way.

Yep.

I think on that decision it would have gone with the ref either way.

Seems someone wants to make a few more appearances for Liverpool this season.

Seems somebody has too many tabs open! ;)

How can it be hand ball when he has his back to the ball as it is blasted point blank at him.

Var checked it and gave no pen. Simples

The first professional club in the world to play in a major domestic cup final in fourteen different decades.




Good stats!

We're not actually in the 20s yet thought are we. This is the final year of the 2010s.

How is 2020 not in the 20s?! I wasn’t a teenager when I was 20!

Because a decade is completed at the end of the tenth year in it, not at the start of it.  It's like when we all celebrated the new millennium a year too early. 

A decade starts with a year with a 0 and ends with a year with a 9.
So the first decade was only of 9 years duration, then?

The "first" decade doesn't really matter too much, seeing as nobody invented Anno Domini until half a millennium later.

Since people have actually started caring about decades, the cultural convention is always to use the ten year period from zero to nine. Nobody says "the Swinging 61-70".

That said, the initial point seems to be wrong anyway.

We have made major cup finals in the 1880s and 90s, the 1900s, 10s, 20s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s and the 2000s, 10s and 20s.

That's thirteen different decades, not fourteen.

Unless we are counting the War Cup?
