Painful memories there the Everton and Portsmouth defeats particularly stick in my mind

Chelsea was the worst because of scoreline and who they are. Pompey was annoying but meh.

Not for me although losing to Chelsea and Arsenal was bad we weren’t favourites to win and not getting to the final was kind of expected. But the Everton and Pompey games we were big favourites

I'm a pessimistic bastard so I never expect us to do anything.

The VAR ref/pundit said something along the lines of it was hard to 100% confirm Son was onside. So if there was doubt they would rule it offside. He was then pressed whether he thought Son was on or off and he said on.

So VAR is obviously not fool proof as it still relies on human interpretation!

That's twice in a very short space of time, since its introduction that it's done is over. And Son both times, and both times afterward they say they got it wrong. Has any other teams been conned like we have? It's almost like they are doIng it on purpose so it doesn't come in properly full time. As it stands it clearly doesn't work, in particular for us and for son. It's a shame he would of been on 20 goals all comps if those 2 had counted and they both should have.

When's it's obvious like these 2 decisions that have cost us, is there any appeal, complaint or procedure in place? I mean imagine if those 2 decisions were in one game and we lost a final 1-0, but it was proven that we should of been credited 2 goals.. sensibly we should be awarded the game, though that would never happen. Replay? Possibly? Again but doubt it. The competence of those making these VAR decisions is ridiculously poor as it stands.

Son was offside.

Ive always thought we shit ourselves at Wembley in semis and finals. That shouldnt be a problem now, if anything we should be more relaxed than the likes of Chelsea/United etc...

Hopefully get Southampton in the Semi and then Leicester in the final to enact some sort of revenge for them beating us to the league.

In recent years that has been the case lack of belief in many cases but we will know the answer for sure to this question once the final whistle is blown on cup final day.
