Happy for them and happy for Wes Morgan.

So great to see players and fans interacting again. It’s been too long.

Great scenes!

Hard luck Chelsea. Bigger fish still to fry in a few weeks.

Yuh cyah blame VAR....although I could see why sour grapes Chelsea supporters would do that.

And by sour grapes, I mean after this match where Chelsea had much more of the run of play (for once) and had what seemed to be a legit goal ruled out by the slimmest of margins. I would have sour grapes too if it were my team in that position .

Ironically, Leicester “chelsead” Chelsea in today’s match.

The original intent for the introduction of VAR was to correct “howler decisions”. Example, ball clearly cross the goal line on replay but no goal given etc.

There were so many of those “bowlers” that it was appropriate to introduce technology to get the call right.

But there’s no perfect system.

VAR doing exactly what it’s suppose to do. Whether you offside by 1/2 a millimeter, or you offside by a yard. You still offside.

Is like being a little bit pregnant. Either you pregnant or you not.

What can be done is to review the use of VAR. But is either they use it and accept the consequences that go along with it.

Or they don’t use it and deal with those consequences like “howler decisions”.

Theres no in between.

Congrats Leicester. Once again they're getting glory ahead of a Big 6er. May their trophy win help inspire other 'lesser lights'.
