Offside goal looks to have won it for Citeh.

Citeh go ahead with an offside goal.
The FA - hang your heads in shame. 3-2 to the referee.

Absolute disgrace not a penalty and now an offside goal. Why is VAR not used in all cup games at this stage.
Not sure City’s penalty would have stood with var either

Absolutely gobsmacked by the incompetence of the referee and his team. He didn't give the Swansea pen, the lino did, even though he had a good view. The Man City pen was a nailed on corner, not a pen, the winner was offside. Big teams have the officials in their pockets? Totally.
Its the EFLs fault really as they have voted not to have it in the Championship next season so its not available at their grounds in the cups.
Ridiculous officiating.
I'd like to see officials questioned on camera like players and managers are - ask them to justify why they made their decisions. It's too easy for crap and biased officials to avoid accountability.

Isn't it a FA thing and not EFL ?

Absolute monkey tennis refereeing by andre mcmarriner and his unholy clan of officials. I was starting to believe the nasty little tom daley sterling was getting his act together, but that has put a dampener on the competition for me now

Tedious chump
So many inexplicable decisions in a sport full of money and general dodginess at the top. Don't know what the officials' basic pay is but wouldn't be a surprise if summat murky was going on.
I guess all those oh-so-important foreign TV markets don't want even the smallest risk of, say, a Swansea/Brighton final.

Whoever plays against Citeh in the Cup will have virtually the whole nation behind them now.
Beating them in the Final would put a club like us right up there with Wimbledon beating Liverpool, Southampton beating Man Utd or Coventry beating Spurs.

"You know what? Sergio Aguero was offside."
followed by Danny Gabbidon
"Swansea can scream injustice about the second goal but they can say nothing about that, it was absolute brilliance. The pick out to find Aguero and then the execution of the header is quite brilliant. It is just world class, you have to hold your hands up and say Manchester City are just too good."
Former Cardiff City Captain Danny Gabbidon there. Ridiculous.
Seems unlikely. Ian Darke is a Portsmouth fan and very tuned into what it's like to support a lower league club. And McManaman obviously would not be famed for his love for Manchester!
Nope premier league clubs are setting up for VAR next season so most of them if not all by now have the capability. EFL clubs dont have any reason to waste money on it when they wont be using it next year.
