If you watch the footage carefully, there was a small but definite lowering of the woodwork in the split second before Haaland's shot hit the bar this afternoon. One of the pitchside officials could be seen operating a suspicious app on his phone, and immediately afterwards the bar was back in its normal position.

People saying we could have done the same as United, forget we don't have martinez and verane at centre back

Yep. Not sure we’d have got near goal with those defenders in the semis.

Amrabat too, despite him being a bit wacky sometimes, all very good defenders.

Why does my tech always fuck up and raise my blood pressure???

VAR manipulating an "offside" decision is a bit different to a shot hitting the crossbar.

No one in that ground last month thought it was offside. Then they drew over Wan Bissakas foot to make it so.

Didn't Cov of 87 beat the "team of the time/FA Cup supremos" Spurs?

I'm not saying we'd of beaten City today, but I'd rather be given the chance than VAR conning us out of it.

I watched it back on YouTube the other day and the live commentator said it looked like it could be offside.

Let's be pragmatic about this. We would've been embarrassed by Man City. The talking points of the final would all be condescending and patronising from the pundits and the wider public would find the probable scoreline amusing.

I'll be watching though, as Man Utd are an absolute pleasure to watch. :ROFLMAO:

N people are hounding me lol...

I'd rather be there n ducked 5-0, than not given the chance.

Other than Yanited beating Liverpool, they didn't deserve a shout of that cup. Hopefully keeps Heisenberg in a job til next year.

Right? Probably ingrained with VAR finding a toe nail offside 3 minutes before?
So it was a football-wide conspiracy to stop us getting to the final, yet we were awarded a penalty in injury time that also went to var and could have been overturned to make it less obvious to the world that there was this conspiracy going on.

Right.

Stop being condescending. I was at Wembley and was more shocked the handball to make 3-3 was given, than not.

Maybe that was the "magic" of the FA Cup, then we'd overstayed our welcome.

It's not necessarily a conspiracy, but the "offside" seemed manipulated as per my picture of Wan-Bassakas foot. Simple really.

I’m just pointing out that the idea there was some kind of conspiracy going on makes no sense whatsoever with what happened.

Today I saw a bald figurehead leading his team to success against a much stronger and more fancied opponent.

Jean-Luc Picard against the Ferengi, what a performance.

Do you think it was offside? As in our winner vs United to be clear?

Also, take into account the line over Wan-Bisakkas boot?

Regardless of today's result, it was always gonna hit harder.

For everyone who can't remember/wasn't alive for 87, this was potentially one of the biggest games of our lives. Even if we lost 10-0 vs City, we would have been there. That's the point.

I think VAR should be sacked off. Regardless of it was on or off by a couple of CMs it wasn’t obvious and should have been given. If it was actually off though, it’s been human error rather than a conspiracy.

Christ you're fucking naive if you don't think corrupt shit goes on all the time to favour the rich and famous.
It wasnt a conspiracy but the decision was a farce and wrong and now glory glory Man Utd can march into Europe and add to their riches …..and the media and business will wank all over it !😡

Ÿes but their defence against us was far worse than their defence today.

We won 4 3, but we likely couldn't have held out as much

Kinell… it’s going to be a long fuckingsummer

Like I said, I could take being outplayed/beaten by united.

It's unjustice I can't stand for. That goes for life in general.

We should have won that game in normal time, not lost on pens to them. Then for them to win the Cup takes the piss.
