    That's true , but it was a penalty to me . Vardy should have came out of that game ........without a card at all imo

    What makes you think its wumming? Why does everything have to be a wum? It might just be sheer pig headedness. Let's not give credit where it is not due.

    Young has the right of attack , was trying to get around him ...the defender sticks his foot out , stops youngs foot from going forward ..........Penalty .

    Fair enough. I know there isn't much wummery on this board so I'll believe he's serious this time.

    He's saying that Ashley Young should've had a penalty at some point in his career. Even Ashley Young doesn't believe that.

    Well, if you pulled out an axe and topped him, he might deserve one!...

    The defender was losing the run forward to Vardy , the defender reaches forward and doesn't " Touch " Vardy , he grabs him and is pulling back . Vardy is trying to pull away and when they disconnect Vardy suffers a jolt ..... They both have their backs to the ref and he can't see the grab . Should have talked to the linesmen for his imput .To me , it's a penalty all day long .. But hey , so is the other one with Young .The defender pulls Vardy back just above the elbow , not the shoulder by the way

    Going around and around in circles. The world and his brother thinks it was never a penalty and a blatant, poorly executed dive.

    There is, however, one dissenting voice.

    They do seem to get an inordinate amount of penalties.

    Then there is the question ........do all dives get a yellow card ?. I think we all know the answer to that one .

    I wasn't making a direct comparison, just challenging the assertion that contact = foul.
    They're not very different, though. Both feature a cheat initiating contact to try to fool the officials into giving a penalty.
    The more obvious and clumsy dive received a penalty and the other resulted in the correct punishment.

    A jolt. The West Ham defender sneakily hit him with a taser. Is that allowed?

    There are some here who will be claiming that if you force an opposition team to do that,
    then a penalty should also be awarded against you.
