Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final (4 Viewers)

Honestly, if Tavares doesn’t get injured, I think we win that at a canter in Extra Time 2nd half. They absolutely couldn’t handle him.

Absolutely perfect super sub performance.

Thorp looks like a great replacement at 10 as well. Need 2 more center mids and a lb

Between Torp and Eriksen, you’d have thought Torp was the danish international on 100k per week. His best performance by a mile for us and was unlucky not score that absolute missile.

Also you can say penalties are a lottery, but you can’t tell me that going second in front of the other fans isn’t a big disadvantage

Of all the stupid modern rules having two coin tosses for pens must be the dumbest. What’s even the rationale for it?

How unlucky have we got to be to lose all 4 coin tosses, 1/16 chance

Didn't get the result they wanted again. Can't have the fragile united players taking pens against the opposing team

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

Maybe we should, but I'm not having that as offside.

Just Grendel always siding against City in the name of balance. How you can look at those lines, with one going over the defenders foot, and claim it’s a clear and obvious error I dont know.

Simms with a goal and assist in an fa cup semi final against Man Utd. £25 million pound striker and I’m not taking the piss.

Spent 5 minutes at Molineux trying to disallow Simms’ goal

Spent much less time chalking off a winner for us over a hair’s shadow of an offside

They just don’t want the smaller clubs to win

Can we not do the whole penalty debate again ?

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

The penalty comments are irrelevant really. We lost the first 60 minutes badly and dominated the last 60. I am really disappointed as I think we deserved to win from coming back from nowhere.

It was a great effort in the end

We did win and VAR took it away.

So so unfair. One day we're gonna get that glory though. One day

I called offside but from sounds of it it's a bs decision. Ruining the game.

Proud of them. Let's go beat hull and get that glory next month back here

oh grow up. It was a terrible moment when they gave it having thought we’d won but that’s VAR

When are refs going to get the balls to give keepers second yellows for time wasting. Onana’s shithousery even after the first yellow bordered on deserving another and you knew it was never coming, and he did too.

Thought it could be offside when it first went in, when I saw the first still replay thought it was good and the goal would stand.

He looked level to me ,ironically next season offside has been changed to clear day light. Like many absolutely gutted , like many proud of the team the manager and the fans..

I've been staring at stills of that "offside", and I cannot see it. That would have been the greatest comeback of all time in the history of the game in this country. What a performance.

Actually not anonymous. MR said the 4th official told him there was nothing wrong with it either.

Send the ref to the monitor to look at it and overrule the idiot with a computer

This really is the issue with VAR. It doesn’t stop fans moaning about contentious decisions, it just moves who they are moaning about. Get rid. Between this and the Wolves goal wait I’ve done a total 180 on it. Ruins the sport.

The rules need looking at, how can Onana have a second booking in the Pens and be allowed to stay in goal for rh last 2 pens

It has taken away probably the best sporting moment in my life and it’s not even the correct decision.

His histrionics through the game were ridiculous

Pleased for Fabio. Helped turn the game.
The guy never hides, gets stuck in and tries to make things happen.
He needs game time and if it’s not with us his recent performances might just get him an offer somewhere half decent.
Good luck to the lad.

Got to be worth starting him out wide for the last 4 games.

I actually agree with Grendel, it’s done and it was shit but move on. How can you not be gutted yet proud at the same time, and full of hope for the future.

PUSB

I'm gutted but equally very proud of the club, the players and the fans.

A magnificent performance today and the whole world knows we deserved to win.

Simms has had one of craziest turnarounds this season.
To the point he’s now almost treated like a seasoned pro handful.
Ran his socks off today and put it about all game.

With how down I was at 0-3, I can’t believe that 3 hours later I’m sat here bewildered how we didn’t win 4-3

The FA cup is a different animal when it comes to competitions. It really is unexplainable, basically magic.
