    Which bit? Looks pretty accurate to me, to be honest.

    You're welcome to think that. Whatever helps you sleep at night, I suppose.

    Which part did you think was inaccurate?
    Mahrez dived, Morgan's handball was at least debatable and some of your players are rather dodgy on set-pieces.
    Huth got some back on the weekend, though. Bloke literally pulled his shirt off! <laugh>

    The idea that we get special treatment from referees is utterly ridiculous.

    Not as ridiculous as thinking that Morgan's "handball" should have been a pen mind you <laugh>

    I don't think that you get special treatment from officials. They've been fairly poor this season in general.
    There's a certain Italian-ness about your side at the moment, which presumably comes from Ranieri.
    Lots of tricks that referees tend to miss, rather than any favouritism or bias.
    Huth's occasional elbows are a little harder to explain, but he did that everywhere else, too.

    Morgan moved his arm toward the ball and it was away from his body.
    Very lucky to get away with it.

    Huth and Morgan are old fashioned centre halves who rely on their reading of the game and physicality rather than pace or technical ability, but I don't think they're dirty or use any tactics any different to any other defenders at any clubs e.g holding at corners etc. They've just been very effective - just like their teammates, however much that might surprise, confuse or disappoint many observers.

    I think (conciously or sub conciously) referees are being swept along by the media`s devotion to the Leicester fairy tale, lady luck with decisions is certainly with them at the moment, everything is going their way. Ranieri has also got his players well schooled in the Italian art of using every trick in the book to gain an advantage, and referees seem oblivious to it. An example of which, is how the Leicester players regularly fall over to win cheap set piece opportunities, and the referees almost always buy it.
