Blimey. Coventry come back from 3-0 down and take it into extra time. What a mad, mad ending.

Loving it! Very impressive sea of sky blue. Despite the embarrassing thrashing I liked the visit to Coventry, they seem a proper club.
Rashford injured by lightly kicking the defenders leg.
Pathetic.

That is the narrowest overturn of a goal I have ever seen. Offside by a tenth of a toenail?

VAR is a malignancy on the game
This is where VAR annoys me. No one appealed that. No one even noticed.
Yet he's a shoelace offside and the neutral is robbed of a great moment. I hate VAR.

That’s not truly offside- offside should be the whole player a foot or so ahead, not a margin too small for the human eye to detect, that gives no advantage to the attackers. The problem here isn’t really VAR itself, it’s the overly pedantic way it’s used.

Not sure, it looked more offside in real time, VAR seemed to make it look closer than it was.
Anyway, can't have teams like Coventry winning, time to scrap the FA Cup altogether

Saved!
Exactly, the FA would hate Coventry in the final
It is a cancer on the game the way it is applied
Has the person in charge of stopping the footage to judge the exact moment of the offside got it spot on? There has to be an element of doubt so how can we be sure he's not inside? It's too close to call, or it should be!

At least Baldy will be happy tonight
As a kid of the 90s, I still hate watching Man United win anything.
I hope Man City dick them in the final 5-0. Coventry deserved better.

Coventry deserved to win that man united were s**t as usual Coventry were robbed by a dodgy VAR decision ( i don't accept that as offside offside to me is when the player is ahead of the last defender not his bloody shoelace)
Hate man united I hope city thrash em

Drama to the end! It is offside though but in another life that’s a goal. Fine margins but, playing devils advocate, all of Coventry’s goals had a good slice of fortune about them. Well done Coventry though, great game for the neutrals and I imagine if you’re a United fan that was torture.

Yes, hope you're ok. Have a lie down.
More seriously, was interesting to see that the Man U players were too embarrassed to celebrate at the end.

Torture for United fans to watch? No, I think we were all pretty calm, it didn't involve our club.
