Don’t think my stance is incorrect. Was it offside via the rules and VAR? Yes Was this the intention of the offside rule? No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just hate that part of someone’s body being ahead of another classes that as offside. It’s not what the rule was meant for. The rule was meant to stop goal hanging VAR, we were told, was bright to clear up clear and obvious errors. We should never be disallowing goals when they have to draw lines - ruins the emotions of scoring etc. A really poor day for VAR again - wish that and Covid would go away! Take me back to 2017 please... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rule was meant to stop goal hanging I agree. It has become a joke. There are few enough goals to celebrate. We shouldn't be ruling them out for marginal decisions like this one. Although I did enjoy Leicester winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Fantastic goal, two fantastic saves, VAR drama at the end. Best cup final for a long time. if the Jock Stein quote that football is nothing without the fans ever needed valediction it got it today. Wonderful stuff.

Obviously, at the moment I only care about the result, but I couldn’t celebrate Leicester’s goal straight away because I knew VAR would be checked; and whilst I’m f...ing overjoyed at the result, I don’t want football matches to be determined by the fact that someone’s left ear is in an offside position in a freeze-frame.

Midlands Robin Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 Really enjoyed that. The scenes at the end were superb and what a hell of a goal that was from Leicester. If you look at where our two clubs were almost 30 years ago when we took them apart in the FA Cup at Filbert Street, arguably we were on level terms with them at the time. One club have certainly got it right since then. Having said that, it shows what can be done and gives hope to so many clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steviestevieneville Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 @Ostrich congratulations . Historically you’ve always been a bigger club than us . However , in the last 10-15 years you’ve been relegated to league one , won the championship , stayed up in the prem by the skin of your teeth , won the top flight the year after and now a rightful seat at the top table in the champions league & F.A cup winners . Especially after what’s happened with the ESL , you’ve shown what English football & football in general means to us the fans . You’ve achieved what we all dream & continue to do so . never give up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeneys Penalties Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 there really doesnt seem to be a disconnect at Leicester. Cracking result and a joy to see....but hell. The FA Cup Final should be at 3.00 on a Saturday afternoon after the season is over, and not a 5.15 Kick Off during the season to suit TV. On a positive note, it was good to see fans back where they belong (albeit a very reduced capacity) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Offside Posted May 15, 2021 Report Share Posted May 15, 2021 First FA Cup final I’ve watched for ages. I’m glad that Leicester won. What a goal, and what a save by Schmeichel. It was great to see fans back in attendance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
