Beat me to it CT but then again I've been asleep! I know you've waited as long as me for.that result so you must be 'buzzing'. Think that's the correct term.

I don't think buzzing quite cuts it. I haven't had too much sleep and I feel like an emotional wreck. Can't begin to tell you how I felt when that final whistle blew.

I was 14 at Old Trafford in 1966. Clarets took the lead but we went on to lose 4-1. Law scored a worldy bicycle kick which I can still see in my minds eye. I think that will be replaced now with a goal scored by one of our own. What a moment in his career.

How did you feel when they “scored”? I was really worried. I was following the game on FotMob. It just came up “Goal, VAR check” I thought here we go again.

There wasn't a VAR check though was there? Hadn't Moss already given the free kick? To be honest though, when he pointed I did think he was pointing to the centre circle but he was indicating a free kick.

Yes definitely a VAR Check and they announced it over the tannoy and on the board.

I was there that day and I remember that by about 1-30pm the ground was packed and that kids, a bit younger than me, were being passed, on shoulders, down to the front and over the wall. Also, it was often the practice to lift small children over the turnstile,so there may have been a few more on.

Needed a few brandies to send me off to sleep. Then woke up and watched the goals on my tablet again. :D

Whatever they announced over the tannoy and showed on the board, Moss had blown and was pointing for the free kick so no idea how there could be a VAR check.

It said they were doing a VAR check on tv but if they did one it was very quick. Clear push anyway

Moss blew for a free kick after the ball hit the back of the net, and then VAR checked it.

You could see him mouthing it before Nick took the free kick.
