The problem is, even if the the referee's aren't cheating they certainly aren't treating both teams fairly, and it's blatant. Half the time they don't even try and cover it up. When a player enters the field of play expecting the referee to screw us over at some point during the game it must effect the way they play; not in terms of their ability to stick the ball in the net, but the certainly in the combative side of the game. Silva gets kicked the s**t out of him from the first to the last with nothing from the ref, but one of ours puts in a hard but fair challenge and the w**ker with the whistle can't wait to get a card out.
Some of the challenges our players have been booked for have been nowhere near as bad as ones that have been dished out to our players. It's not even been a totting up of fouls for our bookings; it's often been first offence.Again our main problem is that we (Ya Ya and Vinny apart) have a very limited physical presence and we are coming off worse in the majority of 50-50 challenges. The smaller guy always gets frustrated and reacts and gets penalised. Nothing to do with biased reffing.
If he was in an offside position and touched it, it was offside. I'm not sure about the MEN quote where Sterling says he tried to miss it: it didn't look like that and it was daft to waft a foot at a shot going in.Re Sterling. Does it not come under 'give the striker the benefit of the doubt'? Therefore if he touched it, or not, it makes no odds?
Also, Sterling got the shit kicked out of him all game. The were very dirty, I knew they were horrible but didn't remember them being that dirty last season
Leicester were the dirtiest most cynical team I have seen in years, falling over at every opportunity, feigning injury, moaning at the ref I thought I was watching the Leeds team of old. They have gone from my second favourite team to most hated in record time, I really hope they go down next year! " Ranieri, oh oh oh oh, you stabbed him in the back, you bunch of fucking t****!!" Horrible bastards!
Not sure they were any different last year pulling, pushing, grabbing, and not afraid to leave the boot in. It's called PHYICALITY and
although not a thing of beauty it is often effective. Expect to see a lot more of that both tonight and beyond until we beef up a bit.
Well saidLeicester think they've fucking made it- just another Blackburn , fucking small time , their fans singing your ground is too big for you - whilst only filling a shitty 30,000 stadium and banging bits of fucking cardboard together to make an atmosphere.
I hope they get fucking relegated.
Yes well said .Well said
