    No mate ... no nutshell - (but Booby is possibly a nutjob <laugh>) other footage from the front shows the other Leicester player (might be Matt Elliot) actually withdraw his foot before any contact .... what VAR would have done in this particular instance would have been to have reversed the penalty decision and what I think would have been a second yellow for Johnsen ... whole different picture to the game then <ok>

    I meant the fact two people have such differing views of an incident is another example of why var doesn't work...

    Wasn't commentating on the incident itself.

    So we finally find out that the reason Fosse is so pro VAR is that he's still bitter from a decision over 20 years ago <rofl>

    Luckily the dive leading to this didn't cost us getting to the play-off final, but VAR would have picked it up...



    Likewise, this 'goal'



    If VAR is done right then it could work but too many decisions are still subjective and the ref's opinion, so for me it needs to be for definite yes/no decisions - which is why goal-line technology works

    You young'uns don't know you are born <laugh>

    My daftest escapade watching Leicester was back in the early 80s ... we had a replay with Exeter in the Cup - I got a coach back to Leicester from Uni that got me into Humberstone Gate (Leicester) mid-morning - met up with cousins and mates (about 8 of us) and managed to get on a 12 seater mini bus - there were 23 of us on it including the driver! - squeezed 3 of us on each double seat, others stood sat in the central aisle - all the ****ing way to Devon to watch the useless ****s get beat 3-1 - back to Leicester arriving in the early hours - got coach back to Uni in time to wake the girlfriend up on her birthday and get a consolatory shag <laugh>

    Nope - I just like seeing justice done as I've maintained from the start - so wasn't at all gutted at losing to Watford in the clip just posted - they were the better team in both legs and whilst we put up a spirited display in that second leg, overall they deserved to go through ...<cheers>

    Whole set up is crap imo. Spoils the game and umpires don't bother umpiring as such

    **** VAR off and restrict the number of cameras at the grounds so you can't watch every possible angle in ultra slow motion.
