Fully fit team with a weeks rest and we should be beating them comfortably.

They’re incredibly lucky though so you just never know.

Lucky? They had a pen against them in the last few minutes. And won on pens. They’re SHIT!!!!

It’s an absolute wank rule. If a keeper has a yellow in the game it should be relevant for the pens or it gives the keeper a free hit to cheat in the pens

No referee is ever going to give a goalkeeper a second yellow for a bit of minor gamesmanship if it meant a red card though, so doesn’t really make any difference.
 
coventry just kept ten hag in a job probably.

Unlucky - coventry were the best team on th pitch from the moment the third for the rags went in...and in patches in the first half...they had the chances to win it in normal time as well especially in the second half

Nothing to see here apart from them drawing the blue line over the rag players foot.

how can this cheating be allowed ? The rag player has his toes missing. It stinks to high heaven. VAR was meant to stop this instead they just cheats openly

How the Fuck does that prove he is offside?

At the other end it is not ruled out.

Just heard about the keeper too and his bookings!

Different rules so he doesn't miss the Cup Final.

Thay are the jammiest team by a fucking mile and are still shit, been like this for 10 years.
Without the luck they would have been relegated during this period without a doubt.
 
Good, much as I hate them, all they have achieved today is an opportunity to be humiliated in another final.
And I'm sure I saw Roy Keane trying to down blouse that bird sat next to him while moaning about team spirit.
He's a ****, his team are fucking bellend curtain wipingly bad and he knows it.
Bring them on the twats, we'll destroy these fuckers.

That is an actual photo (though slightly distorted by someone taking a photo of their TV) of the VAR decision line.

As I said in the VAR thread, he was at most an inch offside via that assessment, if they actually selected the correct frame for reference. Even that is probably in the margin of error for the system.

That is not in line with the spirit of the offside rule or really what any reasonable football fan wants to see, even if it sometimes benefits their own club.

Those decisions are why people see VAR as detracting from the enjoyment of watching football.

Absolutely right. IFAB themselves have said many times that VAR should only be used for offside where there is a clear and obvious error. Yet, here we are. FIFA and UEFA have gone in the opposite direction.

even if that happened it would be an immediate sub and a new keeper would be brought on for an outfield player......no real advantage at all.

What they could do to stop the gamesmanship (if you want it stopped)..is create an area to the side of the pitch (off the pitch) where the keeper has to stand until the player taking the penalty is ready.

However that would be shit so hope it stays as it is

Sure look at last years final. Casimero should have got a straight red yet the ref gave them a free kick!..then the Grealish penalty. There were other things but can’t be arsed with the favouritism they get anymore. It’s a joke.

I struggle to be sympathetic when utd get the odd poor decision,but that pen given against them was extremely harsh,the grealish pen in the final was an even worse decision.
The simple answer is ,Var,the way it's run,and the clowns operating it at times,is utter shite.

Don’t talk shite. It was offside. Other end it’s offside. If they wanted them though, Coventry wouldn’t have been given a pen in the dying minutes.

As for jammy, what have they won in that decade? They’re shit.

There is always an error as the frame rate of the cameras is not real time. It can be as much as several inches depending on how fast players are moving and how hard the ball is struck

Its offside if you dont put the line in the right place and/or dont measure from the end of the defenders foot but the middle instead
