Can’t say I’m too upset but VAR is destroying football.

Destroying is too hard a word,i'd go for disrupting rather than Destroying football to the point where you need to check replays before you can really celebrate a goal where it's used,the thing thats destroying football is the money difference between the Premiership and the rest of football.

Actually offside is the easiest for VAR.

It is the offside law that needs attention.

The IT is fine but the interpretations arrived at are sometimes questionable but not with offsides.

VAR needs scraping. It is not consistently referred to.

Some club Leicester.

Genuine respect and love between the owner, players; manager and fans

Delighted for Leicester and their owners. Taking note Venkys? Nah thought not.

That's what I said to the missus. 

"They get these owners and we got sodding Venkys."

Offside and VAR really need looking at but not too gutted in this instance given I would much rather Chelsea lost.

Indeed. Under Jack we had that. Now...

delighted that Leicester won the final. Pleased for the Srivaddhanaprabha's family, Rodgers, the players and the fans. What the Srivaddhanaprabha family has done since becoming the Leicester owners in terms of investment in the club, investing in the area of Leicester and building such an impressive training ground plus an owner who is in touch with the fans and listen to them. 

Tielemans's goal was fantastic and deserved to win any final. 

Schmeichel made 2 great saves and shows why he is top quality keeper. 

VAR was used correctly to disallowed the Chelsea whilst I am no fan of the VAR system in Football it was spot on today but would the Linesman have given it offside if they had been no VAR in the game

and its was great to see fans inside the stadium and enjoying the game

Chilwell WAS offside.

VAR got it right.

How long has being level been off-side ?
Having said that I’m glad there wasn’t extra time, I’ve got a fence that needs another coat of creosote.

I called it offside from first replay. You could tell from the line at the edge of the box. The offside rule obviously needs altered but in its current state it was offside. 

I think that was the result every neutral wanted. I really like Leicester as a club. 

Premier league 5 years ago, FA Cup today. That puts them above Tottenham, level with arsenal (although I'd rank 2 fa cups lower) and just a europa league behind Chelsea. Cant think man utd have done much in that time? Big 6? Load of bollocks!

It all depends on when the ball was played. The Chelsea lad was really motoring onto that ball. I’d be gutted if that was a Rovers goal disallowed.

Fair point. I remember reading an article last season which basically said you can't tell exactly when the ball is played. You can narrow it down to two frames and the ball was played at some point between the two frames. With frame rate of the cameras and say raheem sterling running at full speed the player could have moved just under 1.5 feet so to be analysing millimetres is pointless. 

 

Based on where the froze it I thought it was offside and I've seen tighter decisions given off on many occasions so although the rule is stupid, inconsistency in decisions is worse so don't think they couldn't have disallowed it.

Just a reminder to Tony Mowbray that Leicester need another five wins of the fa cup to reach our level.

We are 5 years behind Brentford (apparentl), so around 200 behind Leicester!

I called it offside in live play.

Overall I prefer the game without VAR.

It is the human involvement that messes the IT.

Wenger's ideas for a new offside interpretation are hopeful.

It is staying though, that's for sure.

Seeing the Leicester fans and the Thai owners post match was a joy to see.

Not enough people pointing out the parallels between Leicester City 2016-21 and us between the Premier League and League Cup win. Both underdog teams with owners who gave a shit who bested the supposed superior teams against the odds.

That makes very sobering reading 😞

Oh, for a club set up like Leicester City... who if memory serves me correctly, we 'bested' to gain our own entry into the Premier League. Watch it if you dare!

Thank you. I think😎

[arbitro]

There was a handball by Perez in the build up to Leicester's goal which, apparently wasn't seen by the VAR and yet a player literally millimetres offside is penalised, correctly I might add. VAR for matters of fact should be an exact science but the inconsistencies are alarming.

I dislike VAR but it's here to stay but VAR itself isn't the problem, it's the people operating it.

Been a real credit to Vichai since his death haven't they? Nice to see such a decent family particularly Vichai's son.

The Srivaddhanaprabha family since buying Leicester have been credit to the club, fans and the community
