Description:
For Manchester United fans, it was the biggest of let-offs. For everybody else, it was yet more evidence VAR is sucking the joy out of football.<br/><br/>Coventry City denied one of the greatest moments in FA Cup history - and one of the most miraculous comebacks of all time - by mere inches.<br/><br/>In the days before technology, Victor Torp's winner in the dying seconds of extra time would have been heralded as yet more magic from the world's greatest cup competition.<br/><br/>It could well have also sealed Erik ten Hag's fate as United boss.<br/><br/>But the ruthless accuracy of VAR and its offside lines stopped wild Coventry celebrations in their tracks and ultimately allowed United passage to the final.<br/><br/>With Coventry the clear underdogs, and certainly at 3-0 down, it was another moment where VAR proved a killjoy for the wider football-watching public.<br/><br/>Whoever you support, there have been moments when VAR has spoilt the game we all love.

From the howling cockpit of a falling airplane to floating alone in the vast expanse of the ocean, Phil, a sweetly mysterious and childlike wanderer, adventures across a surreal multicultural landscape in order to escape the clutches of two bumbling pursuers – all without uttering a single word. <br/><br/>Through a comedic lens, The Passage, which has won six film festivals, explores the longing for human connection, the desire to immerse with immigrant cultures, and the tragedy of never being able to find peace.<br/><br/> “The Passage is an alluring showcase of humane comedic talent that pushes the boundary of what we laugh at,” raves Nerdist.<br/><br/>SUBSCRIBE: http://bit.ly/TBSSub <br/>Download the TBS App: http://bit.ly/1qBbkMW<br/><br/>About TBS:<br/>The home of Friends, AEW, American Dad, Young Sheldon, Friday Night Vibes, The Last O.G., Rat in the Kitchen, Go Big Show, The Cube, Miracle Workers, Chad, and Wipeout.<br/><br/>Get more TBS:<br/>Full Episodes: http://www.TBS.com/shows/<br/>YouTube: http://www.YouTube.com/TBS<br/>Twitter: https://Twitter.com/TBSNetwork<br/>Facebook: http://Facebook.com/TBSNetwork<br/>Instagram: https://Instagram.com/TBSNetwork<br/><br/>The Passage | TBS<br/>http://www.YouTube.com/user/TBS")

_fa-cup-erik-ten-hag-denies-victory-over-coventry-on-penalties-was-embarrassment.webp "Erik Ten Hag insisted he was not embarrassed but admitted Manchester United “got away with it” after edging past Championship Coventry on penalties in their FA Cup semi-final.The Premier League outfit were given an almighty scare at Wembley on Sunday as the second-tier side fought back from 3-0 down and then had a late extra-time winner disallowed for a marginal offside.A thrilling contest ended 3-3 after 120 minutes and it was United who ultimately prevailed, 4-2 on spot-kicks, to set up a repeat of last year’s final against rivals Manchester City.It was another highly unconvincing performance by United – which may have increased the pressure on under-fire manager Ten Hag – but the Dutchman tried to highlight the positives.Ten Hag said: “I can’t say that word (embarrassment) because, at the end of the day, it’s about the achievement.“I see the mistakes we make – we can’t look away from it – but it’s not an embarrassment. It’s a huge achievement.“Even the big team from United, a decade ago, only achieved the final three times. We now have two times in two years. So that’s a good performance.“I see we can play in very high levels but in the same match we can also go very low. That’s not explainable. It has to do with managing the game.SOURCE: PA")
