Another Cov top related story;

Wearing my Cov top round the pool and a Liverpool fan clocked it. He mentioned this game and said we were robbed. Never offside etc.

I know we all know that, but a) I think it’s universally recognised we were and b) made me realise I’m still disappointed we missed out on another Wembley trip!!

Also goes to show it helped the profile of the club.

The ice breaker back in the day to a non-Cov fan was always 'Yeah I remember you lot in the Premier League' or 'What's going on with your ground?'

It's now shifted to 'You lot were robbed in that semi'

I get that often when I bring up I'm a Cov fan, it doesn't make it any easier! I don't want to be reminded of it.

I don't think i will ever get over this
We won that game fair and square and watching Man City in the final we'd have given them a good game too

Didn’t extend ten Haag’s job by long either. Surely would have been sacked at full time but for VAR

I had same in summer from a Plymouth and a Chelsea fan.
the Chelsea fan was even impressed when I said I was at the game.

It’s the best Cov football match I’ve ever been to I think. Hopefully it won’t be like that forever.

Do people really still think it was onside?

It was off, the argument you should be having is was it off be enough to justify VAR involvement but in the current system where the question is a binary onside or offside the call was right.

Curse you for reminding me of this. I've just had go rewatch the highlights for the hundredth time, and now I've got steam coming out of my ears yet again about the offside call.

The line going straight through Wan-Bissaka's boot has never been explained has it?

The naivety in thinking that the lines are drawn in the right place at the right time
Not saying it was corrupt but if it had been given the other way no one would have known the difference

Yes, you can argue that the rules should be changed to give more leeway to the attacking team, but that's a different matter. I confirmed in a series of photos I posted at the time that it was offside under the rules as they stand. I don't get why people are carrying this lifelong burden that we were robbed. Frustrating and incredibly unlucky, but no robbery involved.

I revisit the highlights on you tube every now and again , and I still can’t believe it was given as offside.

The idea that we were the victims of some sort of corruption falls down a bit when you consider we were given a pen in the 90th minute that was hardly nailed on. Surely the shadowy cabal who were intent on United making it to the final would have simply not given us the pen?

One last try on this.
Here's the pictures I posted back in April. At the crucial moment (pics 3 &4), Haji stuck his leg out and under the inflexible rules (that give zero leeway to the attacker) he was offside. If you want to spend the rest of your life disbelieving it, that's up to you.

Not a very good angle for you to conclude on

Edit: you've got to move them a hell of a lot to get the answer you'd like

Your argument cannot be conclusive without a lot more frames between 2 onside and 3 offside unless you get an offside in advance of o hare touching it

I remember someone somewhere saying that it was only illustrative and not the actual image used by VAR, though that has never made sense to me. If it's not what the decision is being made on why show it? May as well get one of those court artists in.

yes it has, that was a thickened line used only for TV pictures. It's not the line used for the decision.
