    I agree. I think you could see that either way, thats why I am surprised the ref was overruled.

    Right decision for me, never a red card. Sky generation tarts would be in tears at some of the tackles that barely got a glance from a ref 30 years ago.

    Yeah never a red. As you have said before if you start handing out reds for stuff like that then it will stop slide tackles and another step closer to a non contact sport. Any slide tackle is going to look bad if you clean someone out in real time, slow mo replays gives you the opportunity to see how high the contact was, studs up etc

    Ref made the decision he should have walked, it took VAR long enough to decide, i was starting to think for one moment there the fans could fook off down the pub and come back later.

    Man City will get past them.

    With the help of some non VAR and stuff.

    I agree it was never a red just not sure it was a clear and obvious error, it's another subjective one these days.

    Still think it needs a time limit too.

    Just said that to my son.

    Anyway, awful by United, very impressive by Wolves. Maybe they can stop City. Probably not.

    Wolves deserve their place in the SF tbf, they’ve had tough fixtures and have been the better side in every tie.

    The game is getting ruined by the technology. It destroys all the excitement and emotions of what if...and we was robbed. It will become like F1 another sport ruined by the technology that wants to perfect everything. Now you see why i prefer lower league mate than this shhite and bunch of flag waving plastics.

    Shame to go out to Wolves, maybe Ole should have taken the game seriously and played a strong team...
