    I'm ****ing fuming. It's just so unfair to have put in such an amazing effort by everyone to have it nullified by pathetic refereeing decisions.

    It's just wrong.

    We have been robbed of an amazing victory and a place in the SemiFinal of the FA Cup.

    Something has to be done.

    How can Man City claim to be still on for the quadruple when they know full well they lost that game ?

    What compounded the insult to us was during the Wolves - Utd game VAR overruled the ref's decision to send off a Utd player

    At least that didn’t turn out too badly for Wolves... unlike the impact on the Swans!

    Too true Taff - That was a million pounds game - £720,000 for the win and if Milwall get knocked out we would get the £250,000 for the last Championship club in the competition

    Plus, you never know, we could have won at Wembley to get to the FA Cup Final....

    Disappointing we missed out on a million pound in the Yank account, oops I meant Bank account<laugh>

    I was dreading going to this game but it turned out to be a cracker. We were never going to keep it going for 90 minutes against a world class side, but we gave them one hell of a game and Pep left the stadium lucky to still be in the competition.

    An outstanding effort from our players, manager and coaching staff:emoticon-0165-muscl

    I’m surprised at how little fuss is being made in the media about how appalling those decisions were ?

    I mean, the result is a mockery - totally pointless game.

    As I wrote earlier, we are probably viewed by the London media as little ol’ Swansea.....

    If it had been the other way around, there would have been hell to play..... but then again, it would Never have been the other way round..... <cheers>

    I’ve not seen any replays,was stood behind the goal so it’s not possible to make a judgement. Presumed Stirling had dived from the defenders reaction,didn’t see anyone up in arms about Agueros so presume that was a close call?
    Ridiculous decision not to use VAR,always seems to be the big teams who get away with murder whenever there’s a controversy

    Think the FA would’ve been banking on city v Utd at Wembley for the overseas revenue
    Same as UEFA keeping Ronaldo & Messi apart in the draws

    Our penalty taker for the rest of the season has now been officially sorted. Step up Matt Grimes and take a bow ….sorry Ollie, but you're history when it comes to taking pens <laugh>

    I've just seen the highlights <doh> Celina's goal was a worthy winner, stunning.

    Stirling's an absolute disgrace and it's exactly why I rarely watch "top level" football any more. It's all farcical really.

    Well, they didn't actually lose the game. They won 3-2.
    Now, whether they deserved to have won, that's up for debate. Official's decisions notwithstanding, Man. City had many more scoring opportunities than did The Swans'.

    Man City's penalty looked iffy, and Aguero was offside, but they had so many other opportunities to score that it is puerile to complain about losing.
    Had The Swans' won under similar circumstances, would you be hopping up and down complaining that Man City had been robbed?
    Of course not. Such is the hypocrisy of the average football fan.
    Time to grow up.

    The Swans' lost the game, but a world wide audience saw them put up a powerful performance against the big money outfit from Manchester. They have won many new admirer's, and you cannot put a value on that.

    Celina's goal was a thing of great beauty, very Michu-esque, and that's high praise, indeed.

    Stop judging people! If we'd have won the game through terrible refereeing decisions I'd have been gutted. I only want to win a game fair and square.
    How dare you accuse me of such hypocrisy when you know nothing about me !

    ...and they didn't win the game. I know we beat them 2-1. Just because the 'official' result of something claims one thing, it doesn't mean it's the truth. OJ Simpson was found not guilty.

    Last time I checked games aren't decided on how many chances were created.
