With the way Dean reffed last night i'm surprised he didn't cancel the goal and bring it back for a penalty :lol:

Not only does the ball hit Drinkwater's hand, he also tries to scoop it away. That is blatant CHEATING!

Yes the ball hit big Sam's hand but it was accidental and we were very fortunate it wasn't picked up by the officials.

The ball was over the line before it hit his hand anyway.

Evens out the blatant penalty we should have had. Ref was v poor but consistent with it.

It would've been even better had Drinkwater kept it out with his hand, given a pen away(which Vokes would have buried) and been sent off. Leicester would have been apoplectic with rage. They could well have been down to nine men by the end.

I really, really hope they go down this year. It'll be the icing on the cake of us stopping up.

I didn't notice anything last night because of the distance/angle from NU3 but having watched it just now, words cannot describe the elation I feel at getting a 'Big Boy' decision go our way in the Premier League!

I'd of been even happier if Vokes had caught it before throwing it in the net, should the officials not seen it.

Makes up for the 2 points lost to Arsenal, and these are more important to us as the gap and amount of teams between us and 18th us growing.

Can't say Drinkwater was any better with his feet last night it has to be said. Given the runaround by Barton.

Surely Drinkwater could have been sent off for attempting to deny a certain goal by handling the ball. That would have been the icing on a particularly tasty cake.

Glad we got the rub of the green last night as we have been robbed at least two points this season by Arsenal, I like to think karma has been served! :)

Sometimes you're the windscreen; others you're the fly. It's nice being the windscreen.

Minus 2 points v Arsenal, plus 2 points v Leicester = net gain of 0 points.

It hit his hand. But it's not a definite handball. No intent. Arm in natural position. No reason it should have been given
