"It's killing the game but no one cares about that as they love the drama" Spot on. VAR was implemented for the TV audience.
I can only assume they were also checking for a potential red card as well because the foul was obvious.
VAR has made Ref's lazy, it's being used as a decision maker rather than a tool to help if something obvious was missed. For me it's a good idea badly implemented
3 red cards at Palace v Brighton today. All given as second yellow cards but I do wonder if refs go second yellow as an easy option? I’d say Nketiah (reckless ) and Van Hecke could/should have been straight reds?
What an assist from Schar by hitting the bar from behind the halfway line Leicester 2 nil down after 11 minutes.
I think we have a monopoly on those scores. In fact we probably took out an exclusive rights legal arrangement, so no other club can impinge on our fame.
They can't be mathematically relegated this weekend coming, but either of the two weekends thereafter it can - and I suspect it will - happen. And if so, they would be down before our trip to the King Power. I doubt there has been a fixture between two already relegated sides as early as GW35 before. We're not going to overtake their 17 points. But we might finish with both a better scoring record and better defensive record than them. Though that really is scraping the bottom of the barrel.
Yeah, that does annoy me a bit. We are awful, but they're just as bad, we are definitely not 7 points worse. For starters, it would barely be a gap if we hadn't thrown away the game against them at St.Marys. If we can repay the favour at the King Power then that will go a long way to changing that too. Ipswich are a bit better than both of us, but again, they're not 10 points better than us.
There are so, so, so many things we've got wrong this season. But a strong candidate for no.1 is Martin deciding that the best way to deal with Fatawu's introduction at 2-0 down was to bring on Fraser...
Absolute stare of this run. Feels like ours hasn't even been that bad although maybe I've just gotten used to it.
With Monday's 3-0 defeat by Newcastle, the Foxes became the first side in the top four tiers of English football to lose eight successive home league games without scoring. They are trying to get in on the record breaking act!!
I posted the same on ****ty stats earlier this morning. The Beeb sport article also pointed out Leicester's current run of eight games without a goal at home equals that of Manchester City in May 2007. So with table-toppers Liverpool next to visit, a new record could very well be set. We're not alone in rewriting the record books. Their fall from grace has been from a far greater height than ours.
