More shit VAR there. They can only rule on the handball shout and give a penalty if it's 'deliberate'. It can't overturn the fact that it's absolutely clearly a corner.

Makes the ref / VAR ref look like muppets when they've applied the law perfectly.

Well it won’t be Nicholas Jackson! Barn door comes to mind. A modern day Emile Heskey?

I was thinking more Liverpool era Raheem Sterling. Loads of pace and gets into great shooting positions, then looks like a rabbit in the headlights once he’s in front if goal, like it’s the first time he’s ever been there

Its a great match this though. I’m sure I’ll enjoy it more than watching us inevitability lose to Cov tomorrow

Jackson is giving Nunez a run for his money, Chelsea have too many shot shy players, they bet on Nkunku to be the star up front this season and he got injured straight off the bat, so much money spent and they struggle to get goals.

First time I've really seen Chelsea this season live and their forward line are total pants. Ball control you'd expect at under 11s. If they had a deadly front man they'd be a force. It's a basic skill. Palmer excepted.

I think the most unforgivable was Mudryk. In extra time and looking for an equaliser he took a free kick from a really good position, to deliver into the box. Everyones waiting for it and it sails right over all their heads (by a mile!), straight out of play. That just summed Chelsea up.

Weirdly, thought that a Cole Palmer Raheem Sterling front line would have won the game for Chelsea, despite his reputation. Then again, they really should have won at a canter anyway. We looked utterly knackered.

Casemiro as a central defensive partner to Maguire?

Hmmmm. I’m saying red card and penalty waiting to happen. I’ve stuck a few quid on him getting carded. It’s 3/1 so essentially free money

Binners what bets has the missus put on? Still time for us to copy!

As a fully committed ABU she’s bet on Cov.

She vocally and enthusiastically supports whoever it is we’re playing, bless her

Oh god! The curse of the early goal! 😩

Our recent record for chucking away early leads is second to none

Utd are so slow and boring I've decided that I want Coventry to win.

I’m saying 97th minute equaliser, 30 pointless minutes extra time and us losing it on penalties

Hoping ETH is going to do enough to keep his job.

This Utd teams results keep me highly entertained.

There’s plenty of United fans want us to lose this so that Ten Hag is sacked

I’d say that they’re likely to get their wish

… and then the whole circus continues with the next mug to get the poisoned chalice.

We’re ****ing dire! This is just the latest in a season of absolutely woeful performances

They are hanging on for pens now, by the look of it. How on earth did that not go in?

Great game for the neutral

(yeh, like anyone's neutral when Utd are playing an underdog in the cup semi! Maybe there's an odd one or two Birmingham City fans mildly conflicted, but....)

There’s only one team deserve to win this and it’s certainly not us

Edit: right on cue 🙄

I really feel for Coventry. Such a great effort. Deserved more from the game.

And now we get to get battered by City in the final again

Crazy. Football robbed of a legendary fairytale - and justice - by VAR.

Really hate the way they show the VAR offside decisions now, from an angle with the lines barely differentiated, it just makes it look dodgy even though it isn't. I hope the way the semi automated system is implemented next year gives a much clearer graphic of the decision.

Sodding hell - drove up into the Peak to pick up LittleMissMC listening to the first half on the radio, Man U 2-0 up and sounded like they were all over Coventry, so when she got in the car I let her put her playlist on......

Got home just as VAR disallowed Coventry's fourth. WTF!

I suppose VAR ensured we got the right decision and that's all of us want isn't it?

Is it ****!

If they are going to use VAR this way for offside decisions then I think there needs to a +/- not they were 1mm offside, that if they were less 100mm offside then VAR doesn't flag it & it's in the margin for error.

I agree with that ^ but then of course you'll still have the argument of whether they were 102mm offside.

To which the answer is that it's beyond margin for error then - the margin for error is (say) 50mm and we already allow twice that so they should have been flagged anyway, the 2mm makes no odds really
