Re: The FA Cup Final

What an emotional day for all related to Leicester. Great second half and fantastic to see with the fans. I haven’t enjoyed a game of football like that for a long time.

I like Chelsea’s new kit!

Re: The FA Cup Final

Didn't watch the game (which says a lot in itself about me and the way the game's going) so don't know about any injustice but my point is about VAR never allowing fans to really celebtate a goal in the same way ever again. if football loises these raw emotions then it's stuffed as a live event for fans in grounds in my view.

I liked the kit aswell. Shame its spoilt by the massive sponsors logo on the front.

Re: The FA Cup Final

What joy would there have been in seeing Leicester scuppered by an injustice?

Why would it have been an injustice?

I thought VAR was to stop clear and obvious mistakes by the officials, although I may be wrong there.

If I'm not then being three mil offside isn't an injustice.

There was a surfeit of emotion in today's game and an offside goal was ruled out. The worse scenario would have been for the game to incorrectly go into extra time.

Re: The FA Cup Final

It sounds to me like manufactured emotion for armchair supporters.

Didn't watch the game.....

Evidently, or you wouldn’t be saying what you are about today’s goal celebrations.

I’m strongly opposed to VAR, but it didn’t diminish the celebrations today. Both fans celebrated their goals in the normal fashion. The difference was there was an additional celebration from the Leicester fans when Chelsea’s ‘goal’ was correctly ruled out.

Re: The FA Cup Final

Watched it for about 20 minutes in the 1st half and then fast-forward in the 2nd. Watching PL sides is so boring. Up and down, back and fore, going nowhere against a wall of 'defenders' closing down every opportunity.
There's no denying these are great footballers, it's just that great footballers don't necessarily make great football..

Great win for Leicester they feel like a real fans club , I was taken by the moment for those fans , marvellous stuff. Great goal

Never mind. I suspect you won’t have to worry about City playing any for quite some time, so you’ll be able to content yourself with lots of long throws and players belting the ball towards the corner flag for a good while longer.

It would have been if it had been allowed.

Re: The FA Cup Final

Pleased for Leicester and for me Brendan Rodgers is one of the best manager the UK has ever produced

I know its difficult to guage against different eras but in the days of globalisation I think he shines like a a beacon in the modern game

surely he'll get a crack at the England job before he retires ?

So is VAR to stop clear and obvious mistakes by officials?

If it is then I don't think the officials made an obvious mistake.

I bet any Chelsea fan who make's it to Porto won't be celebrating any goals they score the same way as before VAR. Whatever the cameras portray there's still an element of doubt in any celebration and the irreplaceable immediate sense of joy is diminished bit by bit the longer the VAR prevails.

I was surprised to learn that after Sir Alex hes only the 2nd manager to win both the Scottish Cup and FA Cup.
