The face of an owner who truly cares for his club put the bitterness surrounding the ESL in the darkest shade at the final whistle.

A memorable day for The Foxes :)

In this case VAR was right and quick. Happy for Leicester even though I was looking forward to some extra time for a few seconds. It was clear without the lines that he was offside.

Really pleased for Leicester. After that fantastic goal and Schmeichel's heroics, Chelsea would probably have gone on to win it in extra-time. Thankfully, VAR came in to give the correct decision and everyone outside of west London was relieved.

I think VAR is good for decisions that are black or white, e.g. the ball crosses the line or offside as there is no grey area for intrepretation. What I don't like is VAR used for penalties, etc, as it seems to vary from week-to-week.

That is the rules not VAR.

Just been told on Twatter that Cags’ elbow was clear playing him onside and that the bit of Chilwell that was offside (his shoulder) wouldn’t be allowed to play the ball.

Don’t get me wrong, if I was on the other side of that decision I’d be annoyed but it’s a pretty clear case isn’t it?

No it’s not clear, I haven’t seen the game or the incident and I’m glad you won Nellers. From your description above through its sounds similar to the horseshit thats been going on all season.

Enjoy the moment mate, seeing United win the cup in 1990 was an incredible moment, I genuinely didn’t think it could get any better than that.

You can play the ball with the upper part of your arm thought can't you? So shoulder counts so would be offside. Balotelli shouldered in a goal once didn't he?

That was exactly my point, Roberto. Two contradictory arguments against the decision that were both wrong.

Ah, the beautiful game, remember that? Let's put down some jumpers and have a socially-distanced kickabout. Long shots only, and no hugging and kissing.
