How is Mark Robin's celebration of the winner the story now

It isn’t

[Colin Steins Smile]

For all those posters that say "Robins" doesn't have a plan B. Think again!

Tactical masterclass by MR today, who adapted our formations specifically for the game. Wolves were expecting a back 5 set up.

Has VAR ever followed the ‘clear and obvious’ instructions ?! 30 seconds max and if you can’t judge stays with onfield decision. 5+ mins is crazy

Just watching the 30 second spell of wright save (after being put through by a lovely palmer ball), Eccles save and then palmer dinking it just wide. So unlucky

Thankfully it went in our favour today, both staying with the onfield decision and also in giving us the added on time that we needed in the end. Just imagine if that goal was ruled out, would not be responsible for my actions!

 

[hamertime]

Incredible result, belief will get you anywhere. It’s about time we had an owner who actually wants a cup run, today and the semi will be memories forever whatever the result. Honestly wouldn’t want to support any other club.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Loads of amazing performances, but Bidwell was outstanding for me. Can't remember him putting a foot wrong defensively, and his crossing was absolutely on the money.

Such a good feeling, I was entirely convinced we'd thrown it away...

The winning goal was a thing of genuine beauty. Get in!!!

Agree about Bidwell, where has that left foot been all season.

That is going down as one of the best City games ever, and will be talked about on our forums for years. OK, Wolves were missing several of their best players, but you can only play what is in front of you. I know our run has been fairly easy, but we are the top scorers in the FA Cup. We've been to Wembley a few times already so wont be overawed. Bidders has already been there three times with three different clubs, which is no coincidence when the chips are down.
MOM, their goalkeeper who kept them in it. Thomas awesome plus an assist, Sheaf very good and Simms and Hadji Wright brilliant. Everyone else great including Palmer who should have scored at least one. MR out thought O'Neil. Special mention to Lawrence. What a send off.

I've been wondering why we don't try MvE in Tats role. He looked great to me, constant threat. Wright was a bit quiet but just shows how dangerous he is drifting in from wide. Simms hold up and link up play is so underrated. We looked so solid

Bloody love this team

 

[HadjiChippo]

Might need some serious consideration about the playoff final and FA cup final clashing with each other now haha

 

[blunted]

Oh and the pitch helped as well

 

[hamertime]

Having VAR was a game changer for us as our opponents couldn’t elbow our players in the face and man handle us in the penalty box.

 

[The Reverend Skyblue]

Itv a disgrace apart from Ally McCoist, no interviews and lescotts miserable mug, Fook you all amateurish tv!!
PUSB We’ll fight till the game is won!!

McCoist and the main commentator, loved the game, but Joey Barton’s best friend, who should never be on tele, looked like they had just attended a wake for their best friend.
disgraceful and unemotional punditory from those two in the studio, get them off our screens now.

 

[Sky Blue 1987]

Very good video that is, they saw the game without fully tinted glasses and gave us our deserved credit

 

[Houchens Head]

Don't know if it's been mentioned yet, but, didn't we beat Spurs by the same scoreline in the 87 Final? Omen??

It’s basically the same wolves second half team against Fulham that won 2-1 and a massively expensive team at that.

Our lads made them look ordinary today.

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Diagnosed with cancer back in November and it’s been a bit tough at times, but that’s the best cancer treatment I will ever have. A real pick me up.

thanks Skyblues, immensely proud of each and every part, of our mighty club

Hope everything goes well

Not forgetting the Semi final, we like a 3-2.

 

[ProfessorbyGrace]

What a great day, unbelievable finish to the game.

That ‘Robins Clutch’ is back! ⚽️

 

[COVKIDSNEVERQUIT]

Wrights - 15 goals/6 assists
Simms - 14 goals/3 assists

Who needs Gyokeres.

 

[Saddlebrains]

@Saddlebrains

Still think Simms is stealing a living as a footballer?

Hang your head in shame.

Imagine that being your first thought after such a day. Strange


But he was absolutely phenomenal today. Won everything. To a man they were fantastic

Pisses on my vasectomy post from earlier on!

Hope you're doing OK Rev

 

[Matt smith]

Haji wright and Ellis Simms have been superb recently

Really glad to be eating humble pie after the start of the season

the football we played today was superb

Norwich etc are winning but who cares today

PUSB

Ha you brought it on yourself. People love a bit of schadenfreude. Take your medicine

I’ve had to deal with that sort of comeback lots of times, you are right mate, have to accept it

 

[mmttww]

Palmer in the 10 role against decent opposition has been poor - which is why O Hare is in demand and Palmer isn’t

You and Me probably are probably closer than you might think re: Palmer, but I enjoy what we brings even if he's not the whole package. He did plenty well today, though. I'd hope you'd be balanced enough to accept that.

Palmer was good. He frustrates me as he sometimes gives possession away too easy, but everything positive came through him today, so you have to forgive when he does give it away

 

[Matt smith]

Milan can definitely definitely do a job on the right wing against tougher opposition

Yep your acceptance of being wrong has been noted.

Keep the faith as our management, coaches, support staff and new owner are yet to make mistakes with the big decisions

I overreact in the heat of the moment but I am really proud of the team today and robins deserves massive praise. Big summer needed to assert ourselves as a top 6 team, that’s the expectation imo

Good! Every 5 minutes in the game we saw him and his iPad. He has no issues telling the keeper to fake an injury either.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Oh...my neighbour is a staunch Wolves fan. He's had a delivery but wasn't in to collect it so I need to take it round to his house.

Gotta put a Cov top on for it

 

[Skyblue in Baku]

"We'll fight 'til the game is won" has never been truer. What a great finish to a game. Perhaps now the TV broadcasters will take this great team seriously and not just assume that we are there to make up the numbers.

Sorry!!!

Big test for Robins and the team to get the players focused back on the league. I don't get the feeling we have shirkers in our squad but there is a risk people will have half a mind on injury and suspension costing them a day at Wembley.

Hoping Robins says anyone not putting in 100% in the league games gets dropped for Wembley. Shown today that he will drop who he likes so nobody should feel safe
