Typical, the one game we could do with them winning!
That ref's just screwed us again after the match!

Anyone else still got their "Keith Hackett is a Cheat" rear window strip from '91? :D[/quote]

Haha, I had one of those in the back of my XR3i for a couple of years after the game 'Hackett is a cheat, long live fair play' if I remember correctly.

I'd guess they could appeal so he plays that one ? Even if they draw that game, provided we win Wednesday and at West Brom, we'd go above Man Utd.

Edit - no we wouldn't although their next game is Palace who seem to be getting their confidence again !

Just to add my take on all this and to point out that these ex-referees in the media are making themselves a laughing stock: I read the mail and they use Graham "three yellows" Poll as their "expert". He thought Moss got most decisions right and AC's was a definite shove for their penalty. I also picked up a copy of the Sun and they use Mark "whistleblower" Halsey. His opinions were almost the exact opposite of Poll's! He even claimed that Reid dived for our penalty and should have got a yellow! And of course ACs was never a penalty. Both thought Ogbonna on Huth was more of a penalty than ours! My point is that these are ex-Premier refs who have seen all the incidents over and over again from every conceivable angle, unlike Mr Moss, and they are miles apart in their assessment of the decisions. As for that clown Hackett perhaps our semi v Forest was too big for him!!! So I ask you what chance has any referee got with all this "after the event" analysis going on. On top of that you have the reported (haven't seen it myself) "outrage" vented by Gary bloody Lineker on social media. I can guess what Leicester's favourite son had to say! So the ref is "damned if you do and damned if you don't". Clearly the Ogbonna/Huth incident was fresh in his mind, the Leicester players made sure of that, the crowd were singing 2-1 to the referee and we should have been streetwise enough not to give him a chance to even it up especially after Stamford Bridge. But it's gone and we move on. :scarfer:

I think we have a winner for the most deluded post of all time :arry:
I think you are right....biased Sky commentary? From ex-Leicester player Alan Smith who never has a good word to say about us at the best of times?

As for some of the others justifying Vardy and his dive.....mental.

Some right sad, bitter bods on here...
You absolute plonker :lol: I'm not bitter at all, I've wanted them to win the league ever since it became clear that we weren't going to, I've been very pro Leicester all season and I hope they do it, I merely agreed with somebody else's comment that next season in the CL refs won't stand for the stuff Huth and Morgan do, the former especially. And is there a problem with me suggesting that next season, when people are wiser to this and the games come thicker and faster, they will probably do a Blackburn?

On a personal note I saw my ( Very substantial by my standards ) bet on us to win at 11/4 fritter away
Yes it was only 11/4 ...I got to thinking if ( in a normal season ) we went to say Chelsea with them 7 points clear with 6 to go we are about 5/1 -- 11/2 ?

11/4 very skinny Betway odds

Not that it matters now

thank you John Moss ..Oh and I never liked Culture Club

Just a thought but if England win with Vardy, Kane and Rooney up front will they win "ugly"? :thup:

I have just timed 8 seconds on my wrist watch and had Valencia just kicked it down the pitch towards the corner flag, it would have taken around 4 seconds to get there and another 4 seconds to come back. by the time it had, the ref would have blown for full time

FA cup final and now this, why won't our players ever learn to just hoof it when it's nearly full time ;)

Spurs are a better team, play better football. And about from a few knob head of fans who are mostly in their 40 and 50 and sit on the fightingcock all day worrying and obsessing over us, Arsenal and any other club. Some of their fans are ok

The Difference wrote:for those thinking the sky commentary was biased, you should have been listening to the NBC coverage in the States. Robbie Earle and Arlo White were clearly gutted when we went 2-1 up, they are desperate for them to win it, after all of them wrote Leicester off all season, they don't want to have to do 2 U-turns in a season, otherwise their football 'knowledge' might be questioned!
Arlo White is from Leicester and is a supporter. He still went pretty mental for Cresswell's goal. He also said at the time and after several replays that the yellow card for diving was legit.
