BLOODY.HELL.WHAT.AM.I.SEEING.?

OMG. VAR.

Pens at least.

VAR is killing football

What a game. Probably the last with the magic of the Cup. Now for a dramatic shoot-out.

VAR sucks balls. I don't know why it's not the players torso that is measured, not their feet or hands. It should be like the 100metre sprint, where it's the chest that crosses the line, otherwise sprinters would finish off a race with their arms out-stretched like Frankenstein. Ok, rant over. Put VAR in the fucking bin.

Definitely not. His big toe was clearly in an offside position, thus giving him an unfair advantage.

Saved!!

Darn and blast.

Definitely how the Coventry goal wasn't given???

My nan, who has no connection to Manchester whatsoever, is messaging me all like, "Man U won on a penalty goal omggg wow"

I don’t care, Nan. I'm not a Manchester United fan.

If you are going to have technology then you can't fuck around saying it's this or that part of the body. It has to be black and white. You either do it as it is being done now, or go back to linesman's decision. The problem is, VAR has proved they get it wrong on many occasions.

The bigger problem is the shit we have with the hand ball law. Need to go back to deliberate or unintentional. At the moment it is so inconsistent. I was rooting for Cov, but the Coventry equaliser was never a pen imo. Where the fuck are you supposed to keep your arms.

May as well get players to play in straight jackets. Either that or once they sign professional terms, amputate their arms.

Football is in an absolutely farcical state, rotten to the core.

Thank fuck for that.
