Imagine this being your team's fanbase, no wonder they seem to attract nothing but trash since Fergie.

I definitely needed that hit of schadenfreude but imagine having to deal with this sort of fan every week when we get promoted, can we just take the parachute payments and stay in the Championship?

Almost worth losing to watch that.

Tbh, if a few on here were filmed during one of our matches, I expect we’d see similar

This hurts more than last year and I don't know why ..

What I will say now is this , there isn't a lot that we as fans haven't been through now .. lost a playoff final on pens , fa cup semi on pens , went to the bottom of the pyramid , ground shares etc

We're a pretty headstrong bunch

I agree - the nature of the comeback would have been the biggest story for years. To have it taken away in the manner it was is a bitter pill to swallow.

Look at this and tell me that was offside I'm not having it. Disgraceful.

That a long time after the ball has been played though

That’s not really a relevant image to be fair

Why weren't they at the game?

They are all fucking freaks, it's a shame that FA / Sky etc prefer these pricks compared to the proper fans.

Just knew that performance was coming allof it and especially from Tavares, except the VAR f**k up, ce le vie not utds second on the stroke HT though.

Had a on Field disagreement with Thomas again!

Thomas would have an on field disagreement if he was the only man on the pitch.

Just had an extended chat with my Utd supporting boss about the game. He thinks we were robbed, was saying how he’s sick of the side, feels no connection to them and often thinks about supporting Leyton Orient instead. I told him to go for it.

So Forest have asked for VAR audio from their game yesterday. We should do the same.

Right. I’ve had my ‘not quite over it’ review of the game.

Stand by my comments during game yesterday, they blew us out of the water first half. Yes we backed off but the difference in class was there for all to see.

Crying shame we didn’t go at them from the start as you could see that Casemiro really is no centre half! Wright was beating him every time second half. Probably a direct result of them taking Mainoo off - very silly.

Didn’t think I’d ever say it, but if Tavares stays on we win it in 120. Very well played. MvE MOTM though, his best game easily.

Just shit how the euphoria was snatched away by the cruel claws of VAR. For a call that close it was decided very quickly. He was onside and I’ll die on that hill.

And this is the mentality of your average top 6 sofa fan.

"I'll support someone else"

I wonder how many of our fans we when we were shite because they went and starting supporting Bedworth United. Zero.

Can we arrange a pre season friendly with Man City and call it the Unofficial Cup

I also think Tavares would've finished that chance that fell to Godden as Tavares pulls further away from Casemiro who Godden allowed to get back at him.

Not because they’re shit Because he’s sick of supporting a team he feels no connection to.

Well they weren't bang behind us. I remember 6k rattling around the bowl against Newport, FGR etc.

Let's not pretend that we had this amazing support when we were at our lowest.

Simms would have been in Godden’s position in this scenario

And look where the linesman is. Right in line with it.

Lino had a great view and didn't give offside. It's a really harsh call, given we were all able to celebrate a winner for at least a minute with no warning.

Maybe, I guess we will never know, could've left Tavares up top with pace on the counter-attack.

All ifs and buts now, frustratingly.

My emotions are still all over the place. Anyone else?

No, I'm fine. I didn't go though.

Mind, in saying that, I went to the Luton game and I was fine after that too. Sad, but just more of an "oh well" from me, because I felt Luton were the better side.

I may well have felt different had I have gone yesterday.

It's going to sit wrong with me for a couple of days, that's for sure.

What a bunch of bellends.
To be fair, the Man Utd fans I spoke to yesterday were actually pretty decent.

I’m over it. Ultimately it was a nice bonus to make it to the semi final and despite losing we embarrassed Utd yesterday with the three goal comeback.

I think we’d all be less gutted had we not had that VAR decision in the game at all, it really did rob us of the greatest comeback in FA Cup history

I felt a tiny bit of relief after the Luton game. It’s hard to compare the highs of this season to closing out a whole season of being battered every game. Even with Vic & Gus we just weren’t ready.

The money from going up would have sorted us out for years though and we’d have been able to strengthen further if we got relegated.

If? We would’ve got relegated and the worry would be becoming a yo-yo side

Luton have given it a very good go and will be well placed for an autos challenge next season if they don’t stay up.

The worry? If/when we go up it’s inevitable we’ll be a yo-yo side for a while without additional investment.
