Some incidents in the thread go as far back as 2014 as well as a key game this season, Chelsea's 2-0 defeat to Manchester United in February.
Frank Lampard's side were denied two goals via VAR while Harry Maguire was lucky to escape a red card for kicking out at Michy Batshuayi.

Mateo Kovacic Red Card.
For the 1st time in 120 Years of FA Cup's history, a referee has took charge of 2 finals.

Arsenal.
The Arsenal goalkeeper clearly caught the ball outside the area. It was obvious from the first glance. No replay on TV. Anthony Taylor obviously, says he caught it in the box. VAR did not check. Should have been a close free kick to chelsea and a red card for arsenal pic.twitter.com/PSb9MmOtIY

Lampard was quick to criticise the decision to send Kovacic off and questioned why VAR wasn't used.
"What kind of rule is that?" he vented. "There's always been this one that you couldn't challenge two yellows. Someone's sitting there really stubbornly sticking to their guns on that one.
"If we have VAR, that's great, let's use it as much as we can to get the right decision. That's nowhere near, it changes the game.
"We pushed them a bit at the end, I can't fault the lads' effort for pushing. But it was never a red card.
"Again, I always try and come back to us and we didn't do enough to win the final."
