## Resource

Wow....caught your breath yet? An exhausted Tim and stunned Liam look back at Wrexham's glorious FA Cup defeat to Chelsea and why there are far more positives than negatives. We also dig deep into the main talking points, which all centred around Wrexham’s first taste of VAR. Was it or wasn't it a red card for George Dobson? Did Lewis Brunt's toenail really gain an unfair advantage? Plus: Was that the best Cae Ras atmosphere in a long time? Why is Garnacho so disliked? Karate Kid star in the owners' box PLUS Hull City preview. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enjoy this Fat Boar-sponsored episode?
