Tavares is an unsung hero for that game he allowed MvE time and space to overlap and also put a good ball in for our first, if he’s not a winger he can most certainly become one

I thought he was fantastic when ge came on and really gave them problems.

That's not anaccurate picture though with the line going over the defenders foot, the whole thing stinks.

I think we were lucky to get the penalty, and unlucky to get the offside.

It hurts, but what a day, and the celebrations for the "winner" will live long in the memory regardless.

Season may be over but let's pack the stadium on Wednesday. Hopefully have my voice back by then..!

I’m sure it’s been said but Onana really is a wanker as well.

Loved the challenge on Fernandes from Binks, shame nobody got to go through Onana.

The blatant dissent after being booked for time wasting to then go behind his goal and drink from his water bottle is infuriating. No Ref anywhere will book a keeper twice in quick succession so they just get away it. Different rules for keepers as per.

If nothing else the players deserve a heroes welcome from a full house Wednesday.

I just want to say that chipped pass out of defence by Sheaf in the run up to the Torp goal was pure filth.

Oh, and I refuse to put inverted commas round the word goal. In my mind we won 4-3.

The difference for me is the offside is overturning the on field decision and the pen isn’t.

I’ve always said he’s not at the level and he’s not a winger but last few weeks he has been great

20 years ago those were lucky pens, but they are given every single time at every ground in every league now.

It's ironic that the 'offside' still frame generated by VAR officials actually proves that wright was onside.

Yeah I get that, I'm trying to be sanguine about it. Was gutted yesterday and probably would've preferred it ending at 3-2 which feels nuts. Today I'm just proud and feel like we won in a way, the man u fans I know are certainly more miserable about it than me!

I was there yesterday and the in 87.

The feel-good factor with our fans today is just incredible. Also great for attracting new fans.

That just wasn't the case in 1987 - before the middle classes took over football.

Chelsea would probably disagree with that after Saturday! But yes, inconsistency is and probably always will be a frustrating problem, at least for the foreseeable future

No he wasn’t. He was level. The VAR lines showed that. I know you’re the referees union Pete but it was a mistake. I have eyes.

A key point is that they keep showing just this picture of the defenders foot on the line.

What they don't show is his arm pointing towards the goal. Wright wasn't doing the same.

As such, at the nearest point to the goaline will definitely be ONSIDE!

I know you will defend refs as your lad is one but come on Pete you can see the mistake in the drawing of the the lines.

Arms don’t count. It’s only parts of the body you can play the ball with.

Maybe I’m old fashioned and the rules have changed, but doesn’t the attacker have to be beyond the defender? All the shots I’ve seen have a line over Wan-Bissaka’s boot, not from the front of it. Surely that would be the closest point nearest to the goal line and Haji would seem to be behind that point?
The only hope and consolation is that Citeh absolutely fucking smash the cunts, but I wish it was us they were smashing in the final.

Just want the level of investigation from the FA we get for big team VAR fuckups. Is that too much to ask?

Man United celebrations after FA Cup win spoke volumes about two players

Man United survived an almighty scare and a shambolic collapse to beat Coventry City on penalties after a 3-3 draw and secure their place in another FA Cup final.

Dont want to be pedantic but Chelsea never got one in their semi and Forest didn't get one yesterday. Both were virtually identical

I couldnt be more proud to be a Coventry City fan it makes going through the dark days a whole lot more worth it by the season, that was our moment of testing to see if we are worthy, we are on a long road now and we will make it right to the top we have the potential as a club to do so

For me the offside was given far too quick. As now shown my other angles they clearly rushed the check to chalk it off.

Lino thought it was onside

But his knee was bent towards the goal as well. This isn't shown in the line!
