United (N) | FA Cup Final | Post-Match Thread

[JASR]

Heard reports of people wearing half & half scarfs in the City end yesterday. In a derby?? Unthinkable, this. Did they get told to take the bloody things off, or even take themselves off?

There were about 3 wandering around the boxpark. I think someone said 2 of them were Americans. The other one 1 saw was by themselves looking a little overwhelmed with it all.
I’m sure I saw a few on the walk into Wembley as well.

As you say, no chance for a longtime blue…but heyho on anyone else… as it’s unlikely they know the history …unbelievable as that sounds to longterm blues.
It’s a bit like twosips tearing that Egyptian (?) Liverpool fan to pieces on the podcast, about their littlewoods past financial doping. Unless people venture out of their echo chambers, they’ll never learn more.

Surely them first six aren't right we only came into existence in 2008.

 

[BrianW]

I'm trying to figure out what's different today, and I think I've put my finger on it.

Unlike during the match, I can't hear my heart beating.

 

[adr2.8i]

Fucking brilliant. You couldn’t ask for better timing

BRILLIANTLY timed :-) and listen to those blues!! Fuck me!!

 

[Manchester_lalala]

You think your bucket hats are trendy
You think your zebra pants are too
Green and gold scarves on after a defeat
City doing a 3peat
You wish you were a fucking blue

I’ll get my coat.

 

[Bald fraud]

Probably already posted, but Jack and Laura.

She couldn’t keep her hands off him!

 

[remember arthur mann]

All over Anthony Joshua when she interviewed him. Got extremely close shall we say.

Not as close as Elton.

'City two, Rags one!'

It's crazy that we've never had a manchester final in all these years!! United must have been really shit in the past! :-)

 

[DTKOAG]

Now Fook Off..

 

[remember arthur mann]

Regardless of the result, City need to write to the FA/Pigmol demanding an explanation of the different standards of refereeing for both clubs.

They're waiting.

Noticed the cogs turning when City lifted the trophy, whatever next?

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

Honestly for me this was more important than next weekend.

Yeah, nothing tops sticking it to the Rags.

 

[The perfect fumble]

Fucking brilliant. You couldn’t ask for better timing

I love that it was scored at their end.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

'City two, Rags one!'

Yeah! He was a fan of the team Zaba used to play for, so he was always gonna be blue!

 

[Dribble]

You've answered your own question.

Jack's arm was in an entirely natural position for someone attempting to jump as high as possible at an angle on the turn, it would be bizarrely unnatural if his arms somehow remained stuck to his side whilst he attempted it.

And yet the ref and VAR somehow interpreted his arm to be in an unnatural position.

I agree. However if they deem your arms being away from the body without caveats, we get yesterday's scenario so what do PiGMOL do to rectify the situation?

 

[Chi-town blues]

It's crazy that we've never had a manchester final in all these years!! United must have been really shit in the past! :-)

Remember this season was their “united is back” year . Lol

 

[Dribble]

If a defender has spread himself as wide as possible with outstretched arms, it’s deliberate handball, as it’s a premeditated action.

That’s why players hold their hands behind their backs nowadays.

If you're sliding in for a block, one arm will probably be on the grass with the other extended from the body for balance. What if the ball hits the outstretched arm for balance?
