Oh dear Lord.....

Carte Blanche then for Robert 'Elbows' Huth to follow on from the example set by Jermain Defoe on Tuesday then.....

Still recollect the arm he swung at Mario in the FACup Final's opening minutes in an attempt to rile him... :evil:
 
Nearly twice as many penalties as the next club....

What's the betting they get another on Saturday?

Call me paranoid, but this has all the hallmarks of a stitch-up to ensure that the fairy tale ending is delivered - and we're the big bad wolf
 
Kolarov v Vardy. Has disaster written all over it.

I am not one to believe in conspiracy theories but the frequency with which we have ended up on the shi**y end of decisions has astounded me this season :no:

I've said it before on here but it is worth repeating:
Just because we're paranoid, it doesn't mean they're not out to get us.


 
I'm going right back to the blatant offside at White Hart Lane......since then we have had so many non-decisions usually involving fouls that.... :bang:

I can take one or two, here and there but the frequency this season has been out of the ordinary. As mentioned above....you wouldn't bet on there being one in Leicester's favour at the weekend given the stats.

According to those they seem to be awarded one every second week so they are due. Last one was against Villa 16th Jan.......before that against Bournemouth 2nd Jan. Before that on 19th Dec.....Spooky :148:
 
Not today JB. He did give away a cheap free kick though having left his focus back in the dressing room. Why he gets the captains armband eludes me :shrug:

Back on topic....Taylor was poor today. I would bet the mortgage that the challenges on Zabaleta and Fernandinho if committed against rags at the Swamp. Nailed on penalties. Very lenient with the Leicester players. Morgan should have collected a yellow for his deliberate foul on Aguero after he'd been skinned in the first half and whoever clattered Delph in the first half likewise. Intentional obstruction should have been a yellow.

Sick to death of weak refereeing :bang:
 
It's giving them every 50/50 in the first half especially that did my nut in.

What's the rule on penalties regarding the line, do you have to be inside the line for it to be a pen? Zab's foot that was taken from under him was on the line.

The line is classed as inside the penalty box that's what the commentators said on BT Sport

I've just watched it back to check, his foot is definitely on the line. I had the misfortune of hearing some of the BT commentary when I was looking for that, **ck me can you get any more biased Tiny Tim?

Just as a matter of interest, has there been much furore about this, are BT showing this on a loop like the Sterling incident against Everton. What about S*y I'm sure they're showing it in their hourly news bulletins, right?
 
Oh they could not have been more accommodating over that decision :82: They talked and talked and talked until they convinced themselves it couldn't have been a penalty. And I am pretty sure that that incident will in no way be as 'controversial' as Sterling's "the ball was in the stand when he crossed it for De Bruyne" or "Sterling 'invited' the challenge from Stines there" and so will not be on an endless loop
