    Cracking finish that.

    Knew City would be looking to kill this off early to rest players for the CL but blimey.

    That tackle by Casemiro was awful. VAR can’t correct it though because it’s not a red card offence. So no booking and Man U still get the free kick.
    Farcical.

    Since City have been going longer to Haaland they have got even better but he has stopped scoring.  Funny old game.

    City must want to keep Gundagan (sp) surely? Great goal!

    Ref’s had an iffy start. Casemiro’s tackle given the wrong way, blatant Man U corner given as goal kick and the foul given to Haaland when he slipped over.

    Hope he grows into the game, but not looking brilliant so far.

    Can't raise your hands like that. Has to be a pen.

    Can't be often both captains have scored in the first half of a cup final?

    Lol. What a shit decision. What a pile of shit the handball law has become. 

    Written by the blokes that like drawing lines on football pitches who have probably never kicked a ball in their lives.

    That Steve McClaren lookalike popping up every big game is hilarious.

    That ridiculous penalty is why I hate the handball rule and VAR. What the hell was Grealish meant to do with his arms when he jumps?

    If the ref gives that as a pen, VAR are not ruling it out. Stupid situation.

    You have to be joking? He's jumped in the air and is less than half a yard a way. What's he supposed to do with his arms, jump with them by his side like he's being fired out of cannon?

    It's a crazy rule and definitely needs to be looked at.

    Back to basics. The handball law was introduced at the very outset of Association Football to stop players deliberately using their hands guide the ball. The modern interpretation is absolute bollocks.

    Amen!

    Same with the offside law. Drawing lines and making calls when theres millimetres in it is just mental.

    Been an interesting one for VAR. Casemiro's challenge could have been a red, the handball might have been letter of the law but it didn't affect the flight of the ball at all, which was going nowhere. Then no pen for De Bruyne off what looked like a foul from Fred. Delighted that we will get to spend halftime discussing that instead of the actual football.

    Terrible dive from Grealish there, makes me happy he got the handball against him!
