Leicester softest penalty

Post by IanMcL » Sun Feb 10, 2019 2:56 pm

Our supposed best ref have an appalling decision for a Leicester pen. Maddison jumped over the ball with his leg and planted it in the wrong side of the ball. DANGEROUS PLAY. His leg then hits Vertonghan and penalty given. Disgrace.

Steptoe comes on and takes pen...saved. HA!

Spurs score at other end!

Barnes has kind of played well, but makes poor decisions, every time, when it matters.

yep crap decision but Maddison does like to fall over for nothing, you would have thought the officials would have cottoned on to him by now

Some really poor decisions at the moment from our top referees.

Its about time the refs had to justify their decisions....in horse racing trainers have to explain to the stewards why a horse improved etc....referees for whatever reason just get away with making poor decisions without fear of repercussions....not an easy job but some refs are light years ahead of others and these soft soft penalties are spoiling the game.

If Spurs defend like this against us we’ll win. Standing off far too much.
Disappointed to see Wanyama fit again. He outmuscled us t’other year.

Martin Atkinson looking remarkably like Michael Oliver.

Spuds did their best to lose that game, not impressive at all.

It was certainly soft after booking Son for simulation in the first half when Maguire had hooked his ankle.

Well there's many a wrong person then.

Just because you are there and have a smug look when giving the decisions, doesn't make you right.


He's rated highly, and is certainly up there as 1 of the better ones around these days, but sadly even after his fast track up to the premier league and early promis, he hasn't kicked on.

City two nil up against Chelsea after 12 minutes. Argue to misses a tap in then scores a 25 yard screamer.

Sounds like a description of Sterling 12 months ago

Been brilliant today so far though

Agree, it's not as if some of these decisions are borderline it's as obvious as night is to day, to think there are getting paid thousands & cannot see basic things it's bonkers, if we performed like that at work we would lose our jobs.
