Missed it, was putting the dinner on. Was it as bad as you thought, without the Blue tints!

No. It was one footed and he got a deserved yellow.

Leicester piss me off. Game raising twats.


One ore two foot makes no fucking difference. He went straight in with studs showing, actually hitting the Leicester player full on.
Fernandinho, by comparison, only hit the opponent with the follow through. He actually got the ball first.

On NBCSN they said he's a very lucky boy.


That sounds almost Monty Pythonesque IWT.

I like your style. :P

Yes.
In fairness though, I think yellow is fair, but it's the inconsistency of what a red card challenge is and who gets them.

Granit Xhaka woulda got a red for that.

I hope Lester gets relegated. It'd be good for the moral fiber of the club.

This is where the inconsistency rears it's ugly head. Similar tackles and one man sees red, the other yellow. Of course the fella who gets a yellow then goes on to score in the same game.

The teams down there seem to be upping their game whereas Leicester seemed to up their game once and are back to being shite since they played us.

I do wonder, with all the talk of PEDs, if Leicester were under the pysche as well? They seem to have an uncanny way of playing against us.

I'm still living in hope. Still 4 behind though and they're talking about Dippers losing the spot now ;-)

Interesting that Vardy's challenge is a foul while a slap across Bravo is fare game.

5 subs and 1 minute extra time? Now we really know that the ref has the ultimate say. But who makes the decision, the ref or Sky, in order to get more time in adverts/sucking the Rag cock?

Any chance of a retrospective ban for Mata?

Agree with this. A lot of games these days seem to have a lot of incidents such as this that upon reflection would've changed the match completely. More and more games seem to be decided by the toss of a coin in regards to what decision you get.

The cynic in me thinks that the powers that be are happy with this as it keeps the premier league very unpredictable.

Good to see you onboard mate, sometimes you just can't argue.

The media in it's different guises are also complicit in this the way they report events.

It would be great if someone could make up a montage of clips where the pundits say our "fouls" are indeed worthy of a red card and then show the same pundit saying the same offence for a different player/team was either not a foul of only a yellow. Just this season there would be no shortage of footage to show the bias/inconsistency/corruption/cheating that pundits and officials have hold over the sport.

This could then be put out on social media, sent to the broadcasters directly and put over the internet so the message would come through loud and clear. The sport is bent and certain individuals and organisations have too much power

That's an excellent call NB; it would illustrate matters perfectly.
