  3. One does fear for Leicester, now.

    They’ve not only rattled the tiger’s cage, they’ve jumped inside it, knob erect, and have started slowly to hump its ring-piece. The tiger is stunned, at this moment, but you just know what’s going to happen soon.

    A dive is no contact. I said that was minimal contact and went down easy but to say everything is a stone Waller or a dive is simplistic. If you’ve played to a level yourself you’ll know that the faster you are going and the more momentum you have, the less contact it will naturally take to go over. It’s momentum and gravity! You’re basically suggesting any player with pace about them should be accused of diving

    It’s ok mate, he’s gone back to his ‘I’m merely a creation, there is no HIAG’ standard bullshit for when he’s had his arse spectacularly handed to him.

    You’re a Leicester fan, so of course you’re gonna shout penalty.

    Gray was in the penalty area, maybe felt the merest touch and decided to hit the deck. Call it what you want, but I’ll call it a dive.

    Never a penalty for me.

    Simplistic, you’d claim it if it were Spurs I bet. I’ll call a dive a dive, I was very quick on the Ndidi one and Vardy’s infamous one v West Ham. How’s that theory that I’ll defend anything Leicester? We’ll have to agree to disagree but you’re missing an entire level of contact/incident

    Edit - I wouldn’t even disagree with not being a pen, I’m just disagreeing that it would be a dive and a bookable offence. A play on at best

    Fair enough. It’s subjective, but never a penalty for me.

    As I say, I don’t disagree with that, very soft. I just think more refs should just play on rather than making either big call if they aren’t sure.
    I can’t feel sorry for Man City as in the league game they got away with a massive one (Kompany avoiding red because it was only 2 minutes in). You get some you don’t get some
