    What about this then? Still claiming Vardy's not a cheat? He's not even very good at it, is he?

    I disagree. He got contact and went over. However he didn't appeal for a penalty and didn't initiate the contact so I think it was harsh to book him. Vardy did initiate the contact when he threw his legs out into the way of the West Ham player and he was appealing for a penalty before he'd even hit the ground. It was a premeditated attempt to con the referee and therefore a booking.

    Kane was tripped from behind this generally constitutes a foul as the offending player made no attempt to play the ball, it maybe of note that Sam Allardyce (Spammers manager at the time) blamed his player for the commiting the foul not Kane for going down

    Nothing to do with righteousness Fosse. There is an advantage to be gained. Its a dog eat fox world. I hope he gets a 4 game ban and I hope all the Spurs players decide Woy doesn't deserve European glory and treat the Euros as a holiday.

    You mean this?


    Montero clips the back of his heel and he stumbles over his own feet. The replay clearly shows it.
    Not a penalty or a dive. Sorry.
    Alan Shearer discussed it on MOTD2 and came to the same conclusion.

    There are some genuine examples of Spurs players diving out there, but you're not finding them.
    They're also irrelevant, as you won't see people saying that those booked for them should be let off and given a sainthood.

    You've got to remember Fosse, all decisions go in Leicester's favour...

    Who was Klinsmann playing for in 1990? A quick Google search says Inter.

    Oopsie!

    Nobody's saying that. You appear to be trying to claim the opposite, though.
    You got the rub of the green against West Ham and you're still bloody moaning about it.

    We quite clearly did not get the rub of the green against West Ham.

    People might take you seriously if you started looking at things subjectively rather than with your rose tinted spectacles.

    Vardy shoving somebody and then diving afterwards isn't even a new thing...

    I think the issue is that Vardy has conned a few refs, which they have noticed, so he now suffers the Gareth Bale syndrome. Short of 30 bullets in the back, refs will assume that he has dived. He now needs to learn to stay on his feet.

    Your first goal should've been a penalty to West Ham and your last goal, by your own admission, wasn't a penalty.
    You should've got one for the Huth foul, though. Vardy deserved to get both bookings.
    That's two big decisions for you that you shouldn't have got and one against.
