What a strange feeling it is, to have pegged Man Utd back to 3-3, and had a legitimate goal disallowed that would have decided the game…only to then lose on penalties.
It’s a peculiar mix of pride and outrage; bordering on total ambivalence.
On one hand, we have the earnest respect of the majority of football fans far and wide, but the image of that fourth goal going in and seeing Torp and the lads ecstatic for a minute or so, only for it to be snatched away, is almost heartbreaking.
I just literally cannot stop going over it in my head, fucking VAR.
The whole attitude of that Man Utd side just stinks and it starts with the manager. Mainoo especially needs to get out while he can.I don’t buy this excuse. Haji cupped his ear after scoring the biggest pen of his career in front of the entire Man Utd end trying to put him off. It’s a riposte.
Antony, rather than being graceful in a victory he played no meaningful part in, chose to goad not only our fans but his fellow professionals who’d put in the last hour of a lifetime and embarrassed his team of multimillionaires.
I really enjoy the Championship, more competitive games not just a select group of teams at the top. The only worry is one bad year we are in league one and the football league trophy watching u23 sides. At least in the premier league it would two bad seasons for league one1000 times this.
I'd dearly love us to get promotion back to the Premier League but I know that I enjoy being in the away ends at Home Park or the Riverside supporting this group of players with our current fanbase a lot more than I ever did trips to Stamford Bridge or Anfield back in the day.
Hoping it's really just the Mark Robins and Adi Viveash effect and it will still be this good regardless of whether we are playing in League Two, League One, Championship, Premier League, Champions League or the National League.
What a mess. Surely it wasn't the intention to use VAR in this manner.Would be interested to hear the VAR audio after watching this.

That's bonkers isn't it.Still don’t agree that’s a pen and a red
That's bonkers isn't it.
The slow mo video always looks so much worse doesn't it.
How else is the defender supposed to win the ball? Try and tackle, but not propel his leg forward at all?
That's one mess of a video clip.
They have never played footballJust shows that as all three (?) refs involved thought it was maybe the problem is we don’t agree with the rules not the refs.
Got a great view in tier one both times. Not sure if I could stomach losing on penalties at Wembley three years on the spin though!The mindset has changed, I sat in tier two for the last two Wembley visits and you get a good view but are a long way back so I was thinking “next time I will get block one at the front” then realised we are Coventry and never know when we will go again

I'd like to see the lines put on when the ball leaves O'Hares foot, as it's a scooped pass and his foot is still in contact with the ball until it's about a foot off the groundI've stewed on the offside ever since. The hardest thing to take is that nobody can argue that Hajis toe being off side gained him any advantage. I stand by the idea that VAR for off side decisions should be taken only if there is clear daylight between the last man and the attacker.
I know this just moves the line and they would still be marginal calls BUT at least it would mean the attacker is has definitely gained a slight advantage.

That really is a stupid rule .The law is it should be judged when the touch/pass 'starts'.
(Which could be open to interpretation and exploitation tbf)

It’s not the law but it is how var works as it is mostly advantageous to the attackerThat really is a stupid rule .
Many haveNo but they have trained as referees. They aren’t just three random accountants we found at Euston on a Friday.
It’s only touch not pass
You can read it that way and it’s certainly how var see itPass is covered under 'touch' though.
After seeing that I’m even more convinced that it should be got rid of.What a mess. Surely it wasn't the intention to use VAR in this manner.
That's like someone trying to teach linear algebra.
Painful. And absolutely nuts.
On their PlayStations they have.They have never played football
