The Leicester City "spiral" watch!

Leicester fans are crying about it, it was stupid penalty to give away, but obvious and blatant. the Carroll one looked like he fell over his own feet

 

... not all Leicester fans

 

I have no objection to the Wham penalty but if that clueless ref is giving that then he needs to give a penalty for the foul on Huth a few minutes later. Instead he realised his **** up so gave a soft penalty to Leicester. Makes a mockery of the rules and game. He's a terrible referee.

 

... think you have it spot on Stan ...

 

TBH, I think it wasn't given as Huth was so blatantly looking for it. He practically fell backwards into the defender whilst looking imploringly at Moss.

 

.. he had an arm around his neck pulling him bacwards ... I suspect that if that had been against a Spurs defender you'd be spluttering in indignation. ..

 

No, I wouldn't. The look on Huth's face as he fell backwards told you all you needed to know...

 

Face it, you fluked a point.

A point that I think has won you the title. The players will have gone from despair to absolute belief that it's their year and Vardy's replacement will be brimming with confidence having scored a last minute equaliser.

Two more home wins and it's done IMHO.

 

... I bow to your continually unbiased observations ..

 

If one's a pen so is the other. No doubt.

 

..
.wouldn't disagree... sometimes you need a bit of luck ... last time we drew Spuds got all excited then lost to West Ham ... gonna be an interesting game at Stoke tomorrow...

 

Stoke have packed up for the season. Even Poch's negative away tactics should sneak a win there.

 

I think we saw today what many already knew was the case, any referee who doesn't pander to the fairy tale is going to get absolutely chastised by the media and the hoards of pro Leicester fans alike. Moss made a controversial but correct decision for Vardy's dive, and the pen, though disputable, was hardly robbery. This led to an impressive level of outrage on social media and most news outlests that were reporting live and if Leciester had lost this game and gone on to lose the title, there would be burning effigies of Moss nationwide.

Leicester's story is a remarkable one but there is no room in football for sentiment. What good is this story if everyone looks to hand it to them ? They got one of the most outrageous decisions this season v saints where simpson clearly stuck an arm out and he should have been sent off and I don't remember the same spotlight being shone on the referee.

 

As I said earlier, it's the kind of **** that goes on in every game. Moss is a dick. One of the worst premiership refs, IMO. But, he specifically warned the Leicester defenders and then probably viewed the immediate subsequent holding as taking the piss. So, penalty!

Huth was staring directly at Moss as he went down. Moss probably viewed that as him looking for a pen.

 

If Moss was pandering to the fairy tale he wouldn't have sent Vardy off !

 

That's what I'm saying, he didn't pander to the fairytale and let Leicester away with blue murder and he needed a police escort off the pitch.

 

But he gave them a soft pen in injury time...

 

Probably thought that it was his best chance of getting out of there alive!...

 

.. what a surprise .. the 'Saints' fan who is a less than prolific poster on te Saints board ... indeed was strangely absent from the match say thread during our recent game ... yet appears often on the Prem board with a distinct anti-Arsenal bias gathering many HIAG 'likes' in particular, appears to be the only Saunts fan not rooting for us and indeed dismisses the 'fairy tale' ... I love a good conspiracy theory. ... especially one with a distinct whiff to it ...

 

I want Leicester to win it, but there seems to be a bit of entitlement creeping in
