Even the pundits think he should have been sent off. His 'tackles' were a shambles, a yellow for each as a minimum and a red.
none of us said straight red we just said he should have been sent off, it's disgusting he wasn't then coupled with the disgraceful offside decisions... shambles
Absolutely. But I think he gets the ball and his foot slips over the ball rather than his foot going above the ball in the first place. Not really any intent IMO. Whereas the first is an extremely dirty foul. I think if Graham has both feet planted on the floor then it would look a lot worse and he'd have gone off.
As i've said before, i didn't expect anything from today's match, so the defeat doesn't really bother me too much. We played well first half, but i expected Everton to come and play better in the second. They're team has more quality than ours does, and sheer effort and endeavour doesn't always overcome skill and technique. We probably should've scored from the set plays, but they'll be saying the same about Kone (i don't know how the hell he missed that). Other results went for us so i'm not too fussed. But Barry was a lucky bastard and deserved to be sent off. Good result for Leicester today, AKCJ. Helped out by ex City player Anthony Gerrard's own goal. It's funny how things change, everyone was saying how class he was for us in Pearson's first year at City, now he's at 'Udders, he's shown how ****e he actually is.
But people are complaining about the second more than the first. He was given the right card for the second but not for the first. Confusing ****.
I never really rated him with you to be honest. It shows the power of tinted specs and how things click for players at different clubs. He was pretty ****e today. I was only really worried about Vaughan and Scannell. The first was in Wasilewski's back pocket all game and Scannell did his usual and scored against us (probably scored in every game he's ever played at the KP).
Everton were better than us in the second half, but the fact remains that one of their goals was offside and they should have been down to ten men. Barry's a ****. So is the ref, he gave Everton loads of soft free kicks, Pinaar got two just for slipping over.
What did you expect him to say? 'Yeah I should of been sent off and our goal was offside but **** happens' You can't say what you think in those interviews, just what the club/fans want to hear.
I'd expect him to talk down the tackles, but once you've celebrated scoring on live TV, it's probably best to own up to the touch.
Plenty of other players in the past have said "yeah it was a bad tackle but it wasn't intentional" and "yeah the ball clipped me not sure if i was off side or not sometimes these go for you sometimes against over the season it evens itself out" He can admit things without admitting he's a cheating **** which we all know he's not going to do
To be honest there's always the chance he celebrated in an attempt to claim the goal knowing he didn't touch it, then when he found out he was offside he backed down.
