Slaaaab

 

[Dazzmondo]

Horrible decision by linesman. Clearly off. No idea why no VAR but anyway. Lucky us

 

[bringbackbebe]

Poor Leicester didn't deserve this after our first half

 

[Waynne]

Thru on an offside goal

 

[joedirt87]

Lucky and bad, I guess it beats being unlucky and bad.

 

[Jazz]

Slightly makes up for some of the nonsense we've had go against us this season.

Agreed!

 

[Florida Man]

Had a look at the replay and determined it was inconclusive.

 

[BuzzKillington]

That’ll teach the ref for overruling the linesman on the throw in a minute earlier.

 

[ElDiabloRojo]

Casemiro on to laugh at Leicester

 

[Denis' cuff]

Probably play another 6 minutes now

 

[Fortitude]

So the player we were trying to get rid of bails us out with a MotM performance. Figures.

Slightly makes up for some of the nonsense we've had go against us this season.

Yup. I’ll take it. The usual suspects will have a tantrum over it and honestly it is harsh on Leicester but right now I couldn’t give a rat’s arse. Get in!

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

An excellent Bruno set piece delivery and a Maguire header on target. The stars have truly aligned!

 

[Shark]

Slightly makes up for some of the nonsense we've had go against us this season.

One hundred percent.

 

[Adz_99]

Don't worry, referees will make us suffer for that bit of good fortune for the rest of the season

 

[SalfordRed18]

Offside goal

 

[2 man midfield]

4 United players including Maguire offside.

From a free kick the ref wasn’t even going to give until he heard the crowd

 

[kouroux]

@kouroux called it!

I sort of did

 

[Steve Bruce]

How could the linesman miss that.

He missed an obvious Leicester throw in minutes before and the referee overturned it.

 

[Jezpeza]

Job done. Any wins a good win for us at present. Was offside for sure. Oh well. Theres no VAR. the cups are the only real source of anything to look forward to for the rest of the season so i’ll take scraping through round by round

 

[Wilt]

YEEEES!!!

Bless

 

[The Irish Connection]

That should confirm once and for all that var is the better of two evils, but we'll take it of course

 

[Dazzmondo]

Garnacho changed the game

 

[United Hobbit]

Bet they will go on and on about it being offside yet if it was Liverpool it would be swept under the rug

 

[Withnail]

Undeserved. We're trash

Piss off

 

[kouroux]

How could the linesman miss that.

Man wanted to go home

 

[CannibalSpectre]

Calm your tits and enjoy a win

Glad for the win but that was a poor game of football. We watch for entertainment and excitement as well as results

 

[MrBrightside1989]

Linesman clearly didn't fancy watching NJ us for another 30 mins. Lad!

 

[cj_sparky]

From a free kick the ref wasn’t even going to give until he heard the crowd

Yeah that was a weird one, I don't think he even saw it.

 

[2 man midfield]

Horrible decision by linesman. Clearly off. No idea why no VAR but anyway. Lucky us

He missed a clear touch by ugarte about 3 foot in front of him just before it. It’s like his contacts fell out after zirkzees goal

 

[thisisnottaken1]

Bet they will go on and on about it being offside yet if it was Liverpool it would be swept under the rug

Yup. The weekend’s football coverage will be dominated by pundits moaning about this.

 

[ErikElevenHag]

Well that was god awful, zero credit to amorim for that

You're right. He only made multiple changes which got us back into the game.

 

[Sandikan]

You absolutely need VAR in these games. Shocking tbh but at least we have won,

Not sure of the reasoning it's 5th round on, as surely some peewee team could get a home tie in that round and it'd still need to work?

 

[WouterWeghorst]

Like losing, winning also seems to have lost some of the emotion with me. Such a shame.

 

[CannibalSpectre]

Piss off

Make me. Glad for the win, trash football though.

 

[Gandalf]

No, we look more balanced with Z on the pitch. Nothing to do with Hojlund.

Harry!!!!

I know your opinion on this but when Zirkzee starts up top alone he is unable to get on the ball and it doesn’t work. Playing him behind allows Hojlund to stretch the defence and make room for Zirkzee to get on the ball and play a little. The equalizer doesn’t happen if they are not both on the pitch.

 

[Oscar Bonavena]

That boy isn't going to change

His decision making had improved in recent weeks and stopped doing that as much but I think tonight he was playing on adrenaline, which makes him play better and helps the team, but I also think it f**ks up his decision-making!

 

[mitchmouse]

I almost didn't celebrate because I'd been so bored by the previous 88 mins...they've almost sucked the joy out of winning. but been saying for a while that zirkzee should play midfield

 

[PaulScholes99]

Great goal but shows how stupid our players are, no effort made by anyone to get onside when the ball is kicked. simple stuff but ill take it.

To be fair this was a sign of intelligence, this linesman was clearly drunk, which got clear when he got overruled by the ref for the throw-in. It was directly in front of him and so clearly touched Ugarte before going out, he still gave it to us.

 

[NZT-One]

How could the linesman miss that.

I am completely stunned. Also that there wasn't more acting up on Leicesters side?! I mean, it was a dead ball. How can two linos not see that 3 or 4 players are offside?
Do we really need VAR to not do something so obvious!
