OK Willan got a hit on his hand, current rules (wrong) means a penalty, so fair do’s, (apart from they changed the rules that handball had to be deliberate). Then the rule used to be that a deliberate handball preventing a goal would result in a red card. This was no way deliberate..

It's 100% deliberate. He deliberately stoops and moves his arm towards the ball.
 
It will be interesting to see what happens with Mitrovic.

Ex-referees in the press are already calling for a 10 match ban, but if I were Fulham I'd have lawyers send the FA a letter saying we're going to fight it to the death, in courts if need be, because they set a precedent by not punishing Bruno Fernandes.

The ref didn’t see it, so it goes to VAR, and the handball is obvious, so is the lack of a chance for Willan to avoid the handball, so unless defenders wrap their hands behind their back with gaffa tape, how can they avoid being sent off? Also, if VAR is only available in Premier League grounds, how can this be seen as a valid competition? If this happened against a Championship side away, there would be no VAR. Football is corrupt, and I don’t mean that City have done anything better or worse than anyone else. The rules seem to favour the elite These days.
For me, I love watching my grandson play his under 12 football, it reminds me of how football used to be, crap decisions by the officials, but everyone moves on and enjoys it for what it is.

The handball was deliberate, surely?. willians lack of chance to handball was to not stick his hand at it. He was sent off because of that.

Only 1 way to solve it

Mitrovic in the Ring with Penandez, he would fuckin kill the snide shithouse :-)

City had faces out that day that I hadn’t seen for years and the rags were shitting it.

City were ‘ novices’ at the semi but aren’t now, we’ve got the lie of the land.

The organisation, segregation and policing of Wembley Way & the Coach parks will be better....the FA can’t have a repeat of the Euros security failure.

But in any case we’ll probably be playing Brighton

Blue Mist said:
There is one other problem. Their obnoxious, violent fans who, in numbers attack lone or outnumbered Blues. I remember the semi final and the cowardly attacks.

They’re a bunch of chicken shits....there’ll be no repeat of the semi.

Purely self inflicted today by a Fulham side that otherwise had the rags in their pocket. I'd much rather face the rags than Fulham in the final on today's showing. They had nothing, reduced to diving and mobbing the ref over every decision - a shithouse of a team, we'll fucking smash them on our current form

Playing this lot in a final is not a nice prospect.....

We know we are the better footballing team but in a one-off game all it takes is one turnover in possession.

They are perfectly set up to play against us...pace upfront just waiting for a breakaway and that is exactly how they will play it. They will sit deep, deny any space in behind and crowd out our creative players denying haaland any service...this is what happened at the swamp....

Brighton are a good team but they will buckle under the pressure at Wembley

I’m fucking glad you’re not giving the team speech, what a fucking attitude.

You mustn’t have gone to the two games.

Get a grip and grow some balls
 
But according to Ten Hag they were the best team on the pitch.
According to Craig Burley Fulham had it in the bag until they lost their cool.
