[The Crab]

Fucks sake. Was a pen though

 

[Liverpool_blade]

Panicked. Real shame, we've looked really well organised

 

[forte]

Most obvious penalty I have ever seen. Very sloppy.

 

[Klaatu Barada Nikto]

Until that it's been an incredibly disciplined defensive performance. Mountain to climb now though.

 

[BritishSteel]

Does anyone think if that was at the other end we would have had a penalty?

I think we would have had 14 minutes of review by the referee to find the smallest reason say no.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Hang that cunt of a referee.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Does anyone think if that was at the other end we would have had a penalty?

I think we wouldnt.

Of course we fucking wouldn't.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Looked as if Jebbo got a touch on the ball

 

[Alex Cheeseright]

Why is there loads of seats empty? Not said on Finnish tv commentary here, is it due to them protesters?

It is to pay for the new Wembley. F the fans and bend over to the corporate hangers on

 

[Inter_blade83]

He gets a touch on the ball.

 

[jono_t2000]

Annoying we gave them such a gift after defending so well.

Not going to slate anyone tho. Well done to the lads to keeping the game so close.

Keep enjoying the day out Blades fans!!

 

[shrubbery]

What is the fucking point in VAR?

 

[Headshrinker]

Great first half, a shame about the penalty.

Obviously really tough now but still, as long as there is only one goal, all it could take is a corner or great counter attack.

 

[Jon Bon II]

What is the fucking point in VAR?

As a fail safe for the top clubs.

 

[JayGreen17]

He touched the ball, the touch took it into another direction.

With the miss in the first couple of minutes we’re so u lucky to be behind.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

ITV commentary team said " and VAR showing there actually has been a handball in the buildup.. But the ref doesn't seem to have been told.." What the actual fuck...?..?.

 

[cooperblade]

To be fair, there were only 3 City players offisde when the free kick was taken. Assume ref would say it's 2nd phase but what's the point of keeping a line?

 

[JJBlade]

You could see a penalty was coming from the second the Man City player mishit his shot, you could see Jebbison was going to do it before he did

 

[jono_t2000]

Stop stressing. Penalty, not a penalty who cares. Enjoy the game and applaud the boys for giving it such a good go. End of.

There is someone sat in Abu Dhabi on the phone bidding for VAR decisions.

In my head it`s like the scene in Taken where they bid on virgins.

Didn't we campaign to play the semi-final at Wembley when we played Wednesday, after it was originally planned to be at Elland Road?

I fucking care! We need to take out chances and hope some of the decisions go our way.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Just watched it back on phone they are saying Jebbo got a touch

Only because the other semi final had been scheduled there. It was in the interests of fairness and parity, primarily.

 

[BritishSteel]

All penalty decisions should be reviewed pitchside by the ref.

 

[Greystones Blade]

Just watched it back on phone they are saying Jebbo got a touch

They’re saying silva touched the ball just before Jebbo touched his leg.

 

[unchosen]

I knew going in that the commentary would be heavily biased but ugh … Alexis Nunes (ESPN) has no clue.

She expected Citeh to be 4 or 5 goals up at half-time and then said they go into halftime with a comfortable lead.

Old wembley...new when needs new shoes

Yeh but only coz Arse v Spurs semi had already been put at Wembley

 

[HD8 Blades]

It was a penalty every day of the week. Unfortunate but Jebbo took 99% player and 1% ball. Good show overall
