refs got a bet on he can't have Leicester losing!!
He must have forgotten about that bet when he sent off Vardy when he could have given Leicester a pen and then gave West Ham a pen to get them level!

[quote=JasonWatkins;82153247]No "playing to the crowd" from me i'm afraid, it's not my style. Yes, I have a sense of humour that's generally not that appropriate for a text-based message board because it almost always turns out that it's just me who gets the joke but pointing out that Leicester have had luck on their side this season is, in my humble opinion, just pointing out the obvious (injury time penalty anyone?).

I certainly wouldn't say that they've got where they've got through luck alone because that would be stupid, but to gloss over the fact they've had a very favorable season with regards to injuries, fixtures, penalties e.t.c.. would also be stupid IMO.

Fair enough. Thanks for reply.

Yep, they got lucky with that last minute penalty decision!

terrible refereeing. the amount of good luck Leicester have had this season is astronomical.
probably get none next season and will go down.

That sums up refereeing these days, no consistency for the big decisions at all, its not an easy job by any means , but to make clear mistakes on big decisions isnt good enough, imo they need more help from TV
They have agreed to trial video refs in the next 2 years

Tough job being a ref. He made some excellent strong decisions about some really odd and wrong ones to me.

Vardy's mock innocence and outrage at the ref afterwards was embarrassing as well. You know you dived you little rat, so get off the pitch.
Hopefully he will be under more scrutiny now. Slipping under the radar for far too long imo.

That's why he gave the penalty - when he sent vardy off he developed amnesia about his bet then it suddenly come back to himjust before the end of the game so decided to give penalty 😉

Incredible. Bet on Leicester draw and Liverpool score and win. Crazy last few minutes.

As you say, they just need to be more consistent..at least about incidents that happen in the same game !

Very soft but you just don't make such challenges in the last minute to give the ref a chance to blow..

Contentious game from the ref!

Not sure either team will be too happy so maybe a draw is fair.

No wind up. What I meant by "cleared" was them being in a position where they only had league games to play.
Maybe Tottenham shouldn't have knocked them out of the FA Cup then?

The worst refereeing performance I've seen in a long, long time

It was borderline suspicious until he handed Leicester that pen

Gigantic point in the circumstances but the league is not over yet. That said I can see spurs dropping points in the next 2 matches

Should still best Swansea without vardy

Pity Gary Lineker is not on duty for the highlights, I would have liked to hear his take on the match.

The Vardy dive looked more of a penalty than the second one

it's not a proper title run in unless there's kids crying that everyone can laugh at

Why is there no mention of no second yellow for payet when he dived after vardy? It's clear as day it was one of the most inconsistent refereeing performances you'll ever see

just seen the first yellow vardy. no way should he have been booked there. i think it would've stayed 1 - 0 had he stayed on.
