Match Thread Coventry City v Manchester United - FA Cup Semi-Final (20 Viewers)

He

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

He thought it was too tight to call on the pitch knowing his role is to let play continue

And if the thought it was off he can flag once the ball is in the net. He did not.

When you look at the shots from other side of the pitch Haji is on. VAR can get in the bin.

The later posts in this thread is kind of where I am . Torp scored with what was effectively the last kick of the game , so what was the rush to get an immediate decision ?
Surely if we've learnt nothing from VAR in the PL is that it's better to take the time to get the right decision.

 

[Flying Fokker]

What an experience. It was surreal.

So proud of everyone connected with City. with the 4th Goal we all have our anecdotes. One fan ran the width of the row to make his point to Man U fans. There we were, a totally manic tangle of supporters and this streak of Sky Blue whizzed past us all. Good on him!



Have to say, we need to hold on to these moments and celebrate every step of our journey.

The great games keep coming and we are on that journey.

That's horrible...

Stopped myself from posting last night as wouldn’t have been balanced considering the range of emotions we all went through!

I thought we started off too defensive and showed them far too much respect. I understand why we set up that way but all it did was allow them to recycle the ball which was our undoing for the first goal.

The second goal was a poor one. We all knew Maguire is really dangerous attacking corners so to allow him a free header was poor.

At half time we were saying let’s just not got hammered and if we get one back we are back in the game.

I thought we started the half well but they hit us on the counter attack for their third. At that point I thought the game was done and dusted.

How wrong was I. All of a sudden we started showing real attacking purpose and for the next half and hour we dominated. We got one back and I thought it was a mere consolation goal, something the fans could cheer.

Then we get the second and all of a sudden Utd’s arseholes fell out. They looked like rabbits in the headlights as we poured forward.

Haji Wright was the coolest man in the stadium for the equalising penalty. All of a sudden, we looked like the only team that was going to win.

In extra time we again pretty much dominated and for a few glorious seconds at the end we all thought we’d done it. I have my opinions on VAR and to be denied the greatest comeback in history because his toenail was offside is a bitter pill to swallow

On a side note, Harry Maguire is a class act. He was the first player to go over to ours. He’s a great player and I don’t understand the hate he gets

I bet he was embarrassed at the antics of his sex pest team mate.
Imagine being in a squad of players with Onnana and he's still not the biggest c**t?

I just said it on another thread but the way Onana was clowning around and celebrating the VAR decision was absolutely embarrassing.

The England national side always has to have a hate figure and he's drawn the short straw it seems. Antony and Onana were cringeworthy yesterday, i've no love for Utd but those two are a disgrace to what is a famous and historic club.

Not sure i could sum it up any better. Emotionally spent today, that will live with me forever and i couldn't be prouder of the team. I hope we can channel everything into a really rousing end to the season and a flying start to the next.

At half time, I was thinking 5 or 6-0. My ticket was in the Man U end, I was covered by United ‘ultras’ . I didn’t let them know I was Sky Blue and when we ‘scored’ the fourth goal even them said that United was rubbish and we deserved to won.

Our first half performance was very poor and the three subs in the second half changed the game for us. I’ve never been so proud of our team at the end, the fans were fantastic from minute one and MR should be rightly proud of the boys. We may not get to the play offs but we have a team who can challenge any team in the future

Well done, PUSB.

 

[messiahrobins]

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.

Its a close one, i only give it 87 as a final beats a semi final. Otherwise the euphoria is the same. We won as far as i am concerned.

Yes we lost, but doesn't it feel good to be a coventry city fan again, pusb

I will always believe that we won that game 4-3

 

[Mild-Mannered Janitor]

anyone got the clips of clive when the goals went in, including the disallowed one

If that's real then the desicion is fixed, how has Var not seen that

 

[wingy]

Another player I was impressed by was Binks, was a really calming presence at the back, settled the defence at a time when it looked like we might be heading towards a 4 or 5 shellacking, and ended up putting in an important performance.

Lati really disappointed me today, don’t know if it was nerves or the occasion got to him but he was all over the place, constant mistakes and cheaply giving the ball away.

In fact all of our subs seemed up for it today, especially Tavares who Bissaka is probably having nightmares about right now.

Had a on Field disagreement with Thomas again!

 

[Darth Robins]

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?

 

[wingy]

Depending on the quality of number 10's available a flat 3 could work well for us especially in certain games. Depends what MR can get in I guess

You'd have to say torp could be considered for that role on today's showing, bloody fantastic!

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

 

[Grendel]

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.

 

[Bugsy]

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

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.

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.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

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