Damn these biased officials giving Okazaki offside when he was in on goal and level with the defender.
And Drinkwater was not a clear yellow when he blatantly just took Sanchez leg out when he got done for?
There was no contact, Vardy then 'tripped' over Monreal's leg. In other words, the attacker ran into the defender, not the other way around. You can see why Riley bought it though.
It clearly wasn't a penalty and Morgan fouled Ozil in the build up right in front of Atkinson's eyes That being said, we have been average yet again and haven't created much. How long did we expect to keep putting in subpar performances and not get punished for it? We never take full advantage of the entire 90 minutes. Truthfully, I think the best we can hope for now is a draw.
Just because Sanchez rolls over three times it doesn't make it a yellow. Henry says penalty. Interesting.
Hopefully these players don't just feel sorry for themselves, and take that sense of injustice and do something about in the second half, victory today will be so much sweeter considering Leicester and their cheating.
i thought that was a booking, but don't know why alexis acted like a knob after with the 50 rolls. kind of overshadowed the foul
Well it's both as the rules on handball are so unclear. By the letter of the law you could give it or not. Personally I wouldn't expect it to be given.
No, it was at least as good a shout as the Vardy one, for different reasons, but Kante put his arm towards the ball and it hit him below the shoulder on the top of the arm. It was ball to hand, penalty
Whether he rolled 1 million times, it was still a yellow card. He took his leg out, no intention of the ball, the only intention was to take Sanchez out after getting done for, that was a clear yellow card. But with Arsenal, you have to either kill one of our players, or break their leg, to get a card.
at the end of the day how many free kicks do you see given because a player makes contact with the defenders leg/trips over himself? thousands
The bottle job is almost complete. We should be doing far better than this. Shows how desperate we are that we are arguing about harsh handballs, takes the focus away from how **** we've been.
you whined for ages about our penalty v Leicester but think that should have been one? Our was harsh on them and that would have been just as bad. the pen was a pen all day long but they should never have had the ball cos of the foul on Ozil imo.
Okay, so apart from the ref's mistakes, we have actually been playing pretty well, so as long as we can keep up the tempo in the 2nd half then I think we'll get our chances to score. 2-1 Arsenal hopefully .
As mediocre as we have been, in a game like this, you need the referee to be strong. He hasn't been. It was clever play from Vardy, but the referee himself didn't look totally sure and the linesman should have seen it. I'm still in disbelief that Leicester have been getting away with climbing all over our players and Atkinson's just let it happen. He's awful.
