Football on 5

[blue b4 the moon]

Just watched our game from last night after recording it yesterday.

Didn't watch anything else as saw the raggy game on=line etc

Andy Cole....looked like he'd had his mouth shit in like Young.

Commentator said a soft pen for Leicester, ours wasn't and their second appeal was more of one than their first.

City crowd sound turned virtually off, you'd have no idea of our youngsters or the shocking Ref/linesman but I suppose that's nothing new.

This lot had the chance to show football in a less corporate way than motd and have pussied out with the same old, same old type of stuff.

To be fair to 5, studio guests aside, the footage of the match they used was the live footage that had been on Sky the night before.

Andy Hinchcliffe was the commentator who said their second penalty shout looked more like one than the first and on first viewing I said something similar.

Once they had shown a replay though it provided 2 facts contrary to such an assertion.

Hinchcliffe said that Danilo had been clumsy. This wasn’t the case at all as Vardy actually fouled Danilo by clipping his calf as they were sprinting alongsid each other. The other issue was that contact was made outside the box and the pace they were running at made them fall into the box. So even if it had been a foul by Danilo (which it wasn’t) it wouldn’t have been a Penalty anyway.

Sky’s footage also failed to provide a replay of the linesman flagging for offside and the game continuing until the linesman put his flag down and decided to try and catch up with play about 10 seconds later. All very dubious!

The commentator mentioned the offside flag, I think.

Cole said all thee shouts for a penalty including the one given were not fouls. I thought he was quite fair.

The Grey penalty was a laughable decision. Madman Madely could only see it from the rear, which provided no view whatsoever. From the side, it's quite clear that he took a step past Walker and then just fell to the ground. Simulation couldn't be clearer.
