Billy’s been charged by the F.A  for “referee comments after Wrexham game.”

and I'm waiting for "lost the plot" Paul Heckingbottom  to be charged by the police for "criminal damage" for kicking the subs board 

why are footballers & managers above the law

"Sheffield United manager loses his mind smashing up sub board and gets sent off"

the BBC was certainly biased in their coverage of the first round.  I'm not a blades fan especially and nothing against Wrexham,  they played well. The BBC were willing a 'giant killing act ' fuelled by the Ryan Reynolds interest.  They showed far more interest in Wrexham knocking out Arsenal thean they did at the time ( about 5 minutes) , interviewed Mickey Thomas,  analysed his free kick equaliser to death. Interviewed Reynolds twice , filmed him for half the game and generally were pushing for a Wrexham win the whole game.

I jumped up and punched the air when Sheffield equaliser at the end.
Glad they spanked them in the replay as well.
