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 ?

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I thought we showed them too much respect in the first half, I get that we didn't want to go behind early and get thumped, but that was exactly what was on the cards!

Once we took the game to them, they shit themselves, they couldn't handle Tavares's pace and trickery, and that outlet (along with a timely tactical change) gave us a foothold in the game.

Sheaf was fantastic, and Torp showed some real quality, and Dasilva had a great cameo, all in all a brilliant come back which should of seen us go through at the death.
Fuck VAR!

Usually shit all over Maguire but he was Man Utd’s best player by a million miles today and showed complete class after the pen shootout.

Antony on the other hand is a fucking rat faced weasel.

Mainoo and Garnacho were their best players and it’s baffling they both went off.

I like VAR, but it can't come down to a toenail.

They should have looked at that and said "no clear and obvious error."

And I would have said exactly the same if that had been Man U and not us. 100%.

You can't bring It down to that level of microscopic judgement. It's ridiculous.

If it's that close, stick with the on-field decision.

Thats four from four penalty tosses we've lost now. Someone up there doesnt tlike us. I still think it would be fairer doing it from the half way line, not that there were any United supporters left to put ours off. O'Hare looked far to cocky and confident when he stepped up and didn't look bothered at the end.

Didn’t celebrate much when he scored either. Shouldn’t have taken a pen really.

Feel absolutely gutted.
Fuck VAR.
JDS and Tavares did well when they came on.
Hopefully we’ll be 3rd time lucky for a Wembley penalty shootout next season.
