Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final (7 Viewers)

[Sky Blue Pete]

I have never watched the highlights back and I never will, I have even muted it on twitter

The one football heartbreak I do not think I will ever get over

The reaction of the supporters at the end was one of the proudest moments of my life

The beautiful game robbed of a beautiful moment by some twat in a studio overruling the officials in the ground. And for what, to keep ten Haag in a job a few months more?

I knew they would win that final the minute the game finished, the sort of luck that they get

Just like how they will be an utter disgrace in the Prem this season but will sneak into the UCL through the back door by winning the Europa League - After their 'miraculous' come back vs Lyon the other week after the Lyon player should never have been sent off

Interesting that last season was the first time the two same teams had contested the cup final in consecutive seasons and it was the Manchester Derby

Should never be drawing lines on the pitch on the replays anyway. If it's clear and obviously offside then yes otherwise you go with the refs original desicion

Some of the claims on here that it was a conspiracy, and "we won" are frankly embarrassing.

However.... it was a poor decision, and i certainly question whether it would even have been looked at down the other end.

I have never thought they cheated as such, they awarded a very dubious penalty for the last kick of the game which they couldve overruled.
I just think, as in a lot of other cases, they were Incompetent , draw the lines in the right place and at the exact right split second , he's onside
I am lucky enough to have seen 1987 but the feeling I got when Torp scored was the best feeling ever supporting Cov.
I have not and may never get over it

It wasn’t cheating. It was shit rules and shit officiating. It wasn’t obvious so shouldn’t have even gone to VAR, the line was badly drawn, and the rule itself doesn’t account for the limitations of the tech.

Probably the best moment of my life

Man Utd fans will never experience 10% of that feeling

They won a champions league with 2 last minute goals mate

Tho i take all of your points every single goal goes to VAR. Once it does then the ref gives their decision.

We were still there when most of the Man Utd end had emptied, and we lost the game!
Embarrassing the videos of them running back in when the Torp goal was disallowed

They could still finish 17th this season. Now they have recruited some dross, but it’s appalling for a club that still spends big every year.

I think every goal in a game with VAR gets checked for offside as a matter of course.
