Bump Just re-read this from about page 20. Cheered me up. Sorry to bump an old thread, but this is what footie is about
I think it is. But the constant reminders are not helping. Not a weekend has passed since without a glaring error from an official. This season the standards really are at there lowers ever. I don't know why, maybe the men in black are subliminally trying to get video tech involved.
Yeah but winning the cup multiple times since probably eased the pain. That was our chance, our day. Did we even get an apology for the glaring mistake? Err no we didn't. I don't mean to go on, but I feel I'm going to.
The most annoying thing was if the boot was on the other foot, we'd still be hearing about it now!!!!!!!!!!!
Good. One should feel aggrieved still. Crikey, it's only a couple of months since that awful incorrect decision. I had a feeling that there was a sense of 'whatever' on the forum, so I'm glad it hurts. If we had legitimately been beaten I would have forgotten it by now. But we weren't. We were the better team and we scored just as many goals. Under the scenario that we took the lead from the 10th minute, we may well have beaten ManU outright. Yep, I'm still really pissed off about it, because of the future implications it throws up, just as much as the score alone.
And Manolo had history stolen from him. A hat trick, in a cup final, dreams are made of that sort of thing. Outrageous.
It's a wrong that can never be righted, that's what is so sickening. Even when VAR's are at last brought into the beautiful game, they won't be applied retroactively. The ONLY good thing about it is that there is now very little argument against VAR's, just as Frank Lampard's disallowed goal in South Africa was the last straw that heralded goal line technology. After all, if even Jose Mourinho thinks his side were lucky, that says it all!
I think people should get it over it tbh. Impossible to say how the game would have gone when it's that early. We didn't lose the cup final because of that decision, we lost because we defended poorly.
This. The whole game would have been different so we wouldn't have drawn 3-3. We could have lost 4-0. No one knows what would have happened.
It really shouldn't to be honest. If it happened in the last minute then maybe but we may well have lost anyway if that goal had stood.
