Never a pen and that is a laughable offside decision so probably evened itself out. Harsh on Coventry but a day to remember for the fans

Offside was laughable.......he must not have cut his toenails this morning.
I suppose the VAR decision played into the hands of the FA who would have been horrified at a Championship club getting all the way to the final.

With those very close VAR decisions for offside, the very act of kicking the ball for a pass takes a split second, and in that time a player can move many centimetres, so to disallow any goal for that closeness, shouldn’t happen.
Do they take the lines from when the forward pass starts or when the ball leaves the players foot? I don’t know, or whether this is even considered.

Talking of VAR. Forest have released an incendiary statement about 3 decisions that went against them today, no doubt after having spoken with their in-house special Mr Clattenberg.
Can’t see the Premier League letting that go without response .

I thought the penalty decision against Wan Bissaka was ridiculous. Where are players meant to put their arms? Surely having them behind your back when you’re running is an ‘unnatural position’?
Then Ashley Young is similarly hit on the arm, but not a penalty.

The reason being is if the big clubs don't take the cup seriously then they are considered disrespectful, however if they take it seriously and get to the final then people complain about it being a run of the mill Premier League game

We all know who the true cup heroes are this season.

Then Ashley Young is similarly hit on the arm, but not a penalty. Yes, lots banging on about the offside decision, with some softheads even claiming it was corrupt, but very little said about the penalty award that the game to extra time in the first place. If the system was corrupt Coventry wouldn't have been awarded a ridiculous penalty, would they? As you say, the comparison with the Young incident yesterday is telling. Neither should have been a penalty but one was, the other wasn't. That's the inconsistent refereeing and use of VAR that's plagued the top level all season, and longer. Another comparison - clear handball from Jack Grealish standing 10 metres away in the City wall (unlike the 1-2 metres away in open play that Wan Bissaka and Young were). He had time to move his arm away but clearly moved towards the ball. No Chelsea penalty though, not even a corner. Confused rules, poor referees, VAR referees not sure of their roles = an inconsistent mess.

Just down to who can win all their games now, lose and you can probably forget it. Like it to be Arsenal but think it's still Citys to lose.

I'm desperate for Man Utd to win the FA Cup so Ten Hag keeps his job for another year or two. Agent Hag taking down The Brand disguised as a football club from the inside 🤣 he's almost surpassing Mourinho's demolition job!

Oh, I believe in yesterday. 😝👍😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝 Good that you quote lines from that top Liverpool group, yes I know that you are genuinely a fan.....but "All our Yezterdays" was a 1960s TV show and nothing to do with The Beatles song. Thats Liverpool out of it now. Probably City's to loose, but as they've got a certain win in the FA Cup final it would be good if Arsenal won the league
