Rud van Nestaloro claimed that his Lyster City team was defeated “Offside Time” during the FA Cup fourth -round clash with Manchester United on Friday.
Bobby de Cordova-Rid led Fox half-time for his close range three minutes before the break, only to bring the equality back to Joshua Zirkji.
And with extra time and fines spread, Harry Magu’s second half of the second half of the stop -time was popped up with the winner, but his title was debated.
Bruuno Fernandes appeared in an offside position in Magu before connecting the free-kick, but VAR was not used at this stage of the competition, the goal was given.
Listeter has now lost three of them in the FA Cup (W1) United, but Van Nestlewi expressed disappointment at the official decision to give the winning goal.
Immediately after the defeat at Old Trafford, Van Nistaloro said, “We were not defeated in ‘Fergie Time’, we were defeated at offside.”

Talking about the lack of Ver, he added: “It was not necessary. See, Ver, you have a few centimeters, a few inches.
“It was half a meter, clean on the line. This is very difficult to take because the team deserves the draw in the end, extra time to be in the game. You never know what happens.
“It was a very good team performance, really started, pressing United on the ball, very, very stable, eligible to go up to 1-0 during half-time.
“Of course, we know that the second half will bring some pressure on us and some possibilities, but not so much.
“We deserve to go to war in extra time and possibly get fine. At our level it is hard to consume these national decisions. “
United boss Ruben Amorim said that his side was lucky to have this decision, and think that it supports the use of Ver, even if he benefits from his party’s absence.
Amorim further suggested that he had some fortune that Magu himself acknowledged a soft penalty to win their penalty shootout against Arsenal in the previous round.
“This is not a goal with VAR,” said Amorim. “I think it is important to keep VAR because it is fair to the game.
“It is hard to lose with offside game. However, we deserve a bit of luck. “
