Dodgy VAR decision for their second, all hinged on that travesty of a penalty midweek though.

Perhaps Hearts need to get in touch with Steve Gibson.

The 'cheats' are winning in the FA Cup, nothing but praise from the media.  Strange that.

I'm old enough to remember the days when the cup final marked the end of the season. The Beeb kept telling me that it was a great game and that the fans of the same old clubs really did care about it too. Well I suppose they have to try.

A Glasgow club win the SP title and Manchester City win another trophy.  How ordinary.

A pair of disappointing results although I didn’t want Cheating Chelsea to win either with their constant whinging on the field of play , how many penalty shouts did they have today 😀

Celtic would have got them all

No it wasn’t. The only thing dodgy about that was the Lino flagging when the bloke was yards onside. 

Yep, re-watched it properly. That's what I get for watching on a tiny phone screen at a kids birthday party.

What a drab, colourless affair the FA Cup Final was with zero intensity or excitement. Just two of the usual suspects strolling around the pitch and the commentators desperately trying to make it sound exciting whilst being careful not to mention that the cheating done by this pair over a period dwarfs anything we may or may not have done.

No mention of the charges hanging over City during the build up or post match.

Why was that?

Probably because the charges will still be hanging over them when the play in the cup final next season. And the season after that.

Not only was the Cup Final dull but there were empty seats and I suspect it was not a sell out.

Was in the car listening on our way back from seeing family in Southampton, they mentioned lots of red, empty seats in the upper tier for both teams, we all (family) said uniformly "Saints v Leeds would've been full".

Having just seen Utd’s second goal against Forest I have to say that it is yet another fine example of how the whole VAR/reffing process is absolutely not biased towards big sides whatsoever. So that’s reassuring.

Good job this is just another EPL exhibition match with nothing play for otherwise someone might accuse the ref of cheating.

I don’t see any way that any sane rational person could not see that was a very clear handball. So he either isn’t that and shouldn’t be in his job or he has cheated. Fucking ridiculous.

Was a shocking decision but the sort that would happen way more often without VAR. The VAR obviously thought it was a handball, it was the guy on the pitch surrounded by 70,000 Man U fans that decided it wasn’t.

"After review, the decision of goal stands because the handball offence is accidental, therefore the final decision is goal.”

Err...what? Most of the decisions given are accidental.

If the defender did it, it's a penalty.

IF Forest lose Gibbs-White and Anderson they are in a world of pain next season.

Agreed, two excellent players

I was at my local football, so missed the second half of the Celtic v Hearts game.

From what I'm told the Celtic fans invaded the pitch before the game was finished.

That it was a 2 goal advantage makes no difference. There was at least 30 seconds, plus whatever time for the goal celebration, p,us whatever else during added time the ref saw fit to add on.

We've just seen the York v Rochdale game that turned on the added time.

Looking at headlines, it's all about crowd trouble in Glasgow city centre and them picking up the trophy. I'd heard Beards left as quickly as they could, with rumours of assault and safety concerns.

Not a peep about potential sanctions, that considering the game was still on, should include points deductions.

 

Edit: SFA state that the game was over, and not abandoned.

Edit2: Except the ref blew the whistle due to the pitch invasion. So, it's poor after all, with the SFA washing their hands of that, as the whistle was blown.

Somewhat amazed that Luke Shaw has made it to 12 years with United.

Yeah. I remember Mourinho subbing him, for not listening to instructions. It didn't look as though he had much of a future.

Just on the other points above, it was clearly controlled by the hand, and a terrible call.

Let’s just accept that Spurs were never going to go down, as per the Everton rule, and just enjoy West Ham being garbage.

Silver lining, any sell on fee with have for Fernandes will sort out The EFL fine 😉
