Leicester (a) build up

[Shaggy]

Where else is he supposed to put himself? They are shoulder to shoulder both running backwards with Vardh trying to get past him, he's not obliged to get out of the way.

Vardy knew what he was doing for sure.

Yeah I thought he did as any defender should and tried to step across him. Instead Vardy flings out a leg, goes down, cheats, wins the free kick which leads to the corner. We have chances to defend it still after Vardy's cheating but still, that's where it comes from.

What bugged me is the so-called experts calling and analysing the game never once mentioned Vardy's antics and just took the "foul" as read. **** off.

[Fredo]

I hate that Leicester team especially Vardy.

But yet Leicester had a clear handball penalty not given.

Barely anyone has mentioned that tonight.

**** happens. Especially when referees are involved.

Wrong thread

I didn't think that was a pen. But I'm biased as ****.

Haha. What? It was the clearest handball I've seen in years.

[dom9]

Since Phil Neville saved Lucas's goalbound effort at Goodison at least

[Shaggy]

Haha. What? It was the clearest handball I've seen in years.

I believe the rules pertain to intent.

"Handling the ball involves a deliberate act of a player making contact with the ball with his hand or arm"

He's tried to chest that or whatever. Never a deliberate handball, and it's hit him up near the shoulder or something. No way a pen.

[dom9]

He moved his hand downwards.

It's completely undeniable.

[Shaggy]

Well I'm denying it so it's not completely undeniable.

He's just trying to chest it. No intent whatsoever.

This is like talking to you about Jeremy Corbyn.

Completely pointless, blinkered and a disappointing inability to see any point of view that challenges your own.

[BigChief]

Any win is a win for me. I think Leicester may be wishing they got three points from us than a cup run win. Its the dirtiest/cuntiest I've seen from them. Vardy was vile but Albrighton was even more disgusting. Okazaki is turning into a **** head too. Good to see them lose with a Vardy missed penalty. Karma.

For us I've been critical of Hendo lately and Moreno/Ox forever. Hendo finally had a good game and our pub level defence looked like a League 2 defence - which is definitely progress. Moreno looks really focused and Ox had two good moments in the game when he came on. Just glad we're still only 5 points off top, those teams must be wondering how the fck that can be possible. So am I secretly.

Edit: oh and Gomez was horrendous. As bad as TAA has been lately. Clyne can't come back quick enough.

But I was right about Corbyn and you were completely wrong. Hey ho.

[dom9]

Hardly.

[Shaggy]

We'll see if Jeremy Corbyn is up to the job of actually doing his job going forward.

Because if he isn't, and I'm not remotely convinced that he is, we're doomed.

Dooooooooooomed!

Sorry for the slight thread hijack, everyone, but Dom started it. Corbyn is our next PM, obviously, and that wasn't a pen. Up the Reds.
