There are plenty of instances that make VAR look silly but this wasn’t one of them.
I still hate it and would dispose of it yesterday. The singular best thing in football is the joy given in the 30 seconds after your team score a goal. If you cannot let yourself go with that because it might be wiped out by computer lines three minutes later, the game has lost its appeal imo.
officiating mistakes should be part of the game.
The word mistake is the big word in that sentence. That decision was not a mistake. It is so borderline it is probably impossible to get the accurate decision.
VAR potential spoiled an excellent cup final that should be remembered for two world class saves and a brilliant goal.
I was lucky enough to be at the final yesterday, a great experience and pleased Leicester won. It was brilliant to be at a ground and amongst fans... both sets of supporters made decent noise when I was expecting the reduced capacity to leave Wembley feeling a bit empty!
Only downside was that awful version of God Save the Queen, and Chelsea fans booing players taking the knee...

I still dont know who my favourite is in that video...
You've got the idiot posting the video The gormless one in the blue shirt who stands there open mouthed Or the one who looks like he has so much cocaine up his nose, he's still waiting to blink again - Really disappointed we dont get to see his reaction to the disallowed goal
That’s brilliant - and totally deserved for anyone whose first reaction to their team scoring a last minute equaliser in the FA Cup final is to get their phone out and start filming.
I go to see Leicester a few times a season, when allowed of course. When I 'enrolled' as a member I was sent the gift of a Parker pen and a nice diary/notebook. At games, before kick off and at half time, staff members patrol the ground and and throw and shoot gifts into the crowd, catch it if you can. The gifts vary from scarves to shirts, from sweets to diaries. The Leicester fans are terrific and adore their players and owners, Leicester must be the friendliest and most gracious FC in the Premier League. The billionaire Thai owning family have done great things for the club and the city. And Leicester as a city despite a few economic problems seems to be a place where all races and creeds just rub along very well. I like the place very much

I really like how the video is underlined by someone yelling “Fucking Wanker” right at the end. Pretty good description of everyone in the video, to be fair. 😂
A shame Rodgers isn’t English. Would be the 1st choice to be next England manager if the job ever became available.
Errrrrr. Didn't know this was a rule even if arguably it should be.
He genuinely might not want to manage England because he’s not English. Being a previous Celtic manager I would probably have a guess and think he wouldn’t be interested in it, if he was offered it.Sir Alex was offered the England job and refused it. It’s a shame as Rodgers is one of the best available managers in world football.

I agree but there were about a few smartphone videos of our goal celebrations two years ago. Perhaps in our case it was a friend of a fan 😉
I've had a soft spot for Leicester since the mid 90s when they beat Palace in the last minute of extra time in the play-off final at Wembley. A friend of a friend from uni was a Leicester fan and arranged for me to have a ticket for the game, but couldn't go himself as he had one of his finals that day. The Leicester fans around me were lovely when they clocked that my boyfriend and I weren't Foxes, and I explained why we were there and that I wanted Palace to lose nearly as much as they did

Not a fan of VAR but it got that one right.
