Ludicrous set of rules where a player can get carded twice and not sent off, sent off and not miss the next game, but get booked for celebrating a goal and miss the game.

Absolute shambles.
Agreed. Games corrupted.

What like scoring ?

wright being offside by a toe had zero bearing on whether torp scored. 99% of his body was onside, did they think that his toe made a difference?

If I was a Man Utd fan, I’d be seriously concerned. No mentality whatsoever, absolutely shat themselves when we pulled one back and we should’ve had at least 2 in ET alone. They’ll get mullered by Man City but everyone knows that
Man U fan? Never fucking heard them all game!

Looking at the offside with no lines on pitch, I absolutely cannot believe they’ve given that

What come back. To get that game and wolves win in one season was a unbelievable, albeit a cruel, sickening way to lose

What a second half and injury time though. Amazing game and the all did us proud

We should move away from the victim mentality on the offside. It was a huge come down when we thought we’d won but Wright should have scored earlier and Simms was unlucky - from 3 down we massively exceeded expectations and should have won

If we’d started the game as we did from the first goal we’d have won handsomely

What a shame.
We’re a joy to watch when the players are freed to surge forward as a pack. So dangerous.
We need to play at tempo more often.

The ball hasn't even left OHares foot when the lines are drawn.
AND the MU player is running back.

Also it doesnt matter how Hi def their screen is, pixels make a difference. Those Margins should be ignored. I mean next season theyre bringing back the daylight rule because of shite like that

Like a scripted FIFA (EA football) moment....
They wanted the all Manchester final and now they have it. The fa cup is supposed to be about upsets and passion......
Anyone else think that's the last time we see Callum tho....

VAR decided it really should be an all Manchester PL final.
It was also a massive confidence disadvantage going into pens. The surge of adrenaline the players would’ve had celebrating that goal, it gets disallowed and then focus is gone. All momentum shifted to Man Utd. Just a shit situation to end a classic cup tie.

Really wouldn’t have let him take one of the first 5 to be honest

Man Utd players assumed it was job done and we seemed to play with more freedom. Then they just fell apart under the pressure

Strangely Tavares made a difference and he and o hare started to create. Sakamoto and O hare combined well and it seemed it was similar. Torp did well in extra time. It’s disappointing but to get back from 3 down was incredible

When he walked up smiling/smirking I knew he’d missed. Seemed to masking lack of confidence.

Can’t fault any missed pens though, I was fucking exhausted watching, let alone playing 120 mins then all that pressure.

Can we not do the whole penalty debate again ?

Just hold our heads high and look forward to a bright future
