Are people genuinely arguing that wasn't a pen? Like after the heat of the moment you've seen that back and think it isn't?

Fascinated if so.

Yeah, him and anyone with eyes. He got the ball, so stop Vardying
More like anyone with bad eyesight. People here are protesting more than the SU players, it was a daft challenge and it's a pen. You'd be fuming if it happened to your team and you didn't get the pen.

Id always say this should be a penalty, despite slowing down, and trying to see if the ball was brushed etc.
I can see why the ref gave the penalty.

Given what weve seen with VAR, im surprised the ref wasnt told to review it.

I am watching an international broadcast but wondered at the multiple replays, so I immediately went on here to check what the English commentary said as they must have seen something obviously having it replayed so often. I still don't get it though, he just smashed Bernardo.

If Silva doesn't do his Salah style cheating then it wouldn't be a debate. He has conned the ref. A man's game my arse.

Ah well hopefully Brighton will beat us tomorrow and we won't have to show up to get embarrassed by City in the final

Some amount of patronising in the ITV studio. At least Roy Keane gave some credit to Sheffield United's defening.

Wtf is this dreadful camera angle? Looks like some amateur game with a random volunteer holding the camera.

You sound like a great supporter, United so lucky to have such "support"

Sheff U have frustrated City quite well. Watching this I'm thinking arsenal should set up similar in mid week especially as they have better talent up front to hurt city on counters

It’ll be a long while before we can cheer if they win the treble. We have to make the final and give ourselves a shot at silverware and stopping them.
Would be amazing if we make it past Brighton with a convincing display and then beat City in the final. Over one game, anything can happen. I'm hoping that Bruno playing will make a huge, huge difference.

I know Spurs are shit but really ? To this degree ?

These guys can't even pass the ball properly to save their lives.
I think that's a little unfair. They're doing well to stop City from having any meaningful chances.

That was actually more or less Sheff Utd’s B team, I believe they changed something like 8 players from their prior league game.

They were worried about Alvarez and haaland that's why.

Sunday league defending. I see this kind of defense in charity games played by 50 years old retired players.
