Where's Thomas supposed to go after winning the ball ? Shite decision wank refs shite rules

Get Simms on for Godden at HT.

Didn't know Godden was playing.

 

[mrtrench]

This game is all about the referee. He let Leicester hack us down constantly without pulling a card, including one which could easily be deemed a goalscoring opportunity (keeper well away from his line). He set up the conditions for escalation and has now lost control. Their penalty some might think harsh: Thomas got the ball but then hit their player on the follow through. Foot was high though, but lower than other of their fouls. Their red also not much worse than other fouls which didn't even see yellow.

We are the better side. Created lots of chances, the best being a wonderful pull back which O'hare fluffed. Sheaf, Palmer, Tats excellent. Godden better than recent weeks but still mostly ineffective. Pointless to play him in from long as it doesn't stick. Simms soon please, may not have any shooting boots but keeps the ball alive when creating a counter-attack.

 

[MalcSB]

Leicester fans maths isn’t up to much, is it? And a huge range of chants, varying from Leicester, Leicester to Leicester, Leicester.

Don't deserve to be behind, really good first half. Play like that against 10 men in the second half and we'll get something here.

I’m fuming. We played well, didn’t deserve that.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I couldn’t see it as a penalty - he got the ball - he was high I guess and it was a risky challenge but he got the ball - Thomas has had a dire game in truth - don’t see it as a red but a reckless challenge

On the tv they are saying Thomas got away with no red.

VAR probably would have give it

 

[Nick]

I think Bidwell got him sent off with the jump in the air. Fair play

 

[jordan210]

Also a joke ike 2 of our players got booked after the pen given.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Was he fuck out of control. It was a strong tackle and got the ball, the sort you’d demand in a Derby game.

Watch it back
It’s an awful follow through that’s unnecessary given he didn’t need to stud the players knee after winning the ball

Not see the red card tackle if he’d given himself time he would have said yellow and expect it to be overturned on appeal was reckless not excessive forced

Exactly this

 

[David O'Day]

It's really not a pen

Agreed don’t know what was said of course but doesn’t normally happen for querying the decision

 

[hill83]

Where's his leg meant to go then? It looks worse on replay.

So now if you kick the ball, and your natural follow through catches someone, it's a foul?

Basically yeah. Shit but that’s the rules. Basic stuff.

 

[procdoc]

Let’s get into these cunts second half

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Red card was warranted for Fatawu. Never a pen as contact was made with the ball first. Thomas cannot do anything about making contact with KDH. That’s just bullshit. Plus ref books half our team and none of their players except for the red which seemed a makeup call. Ref sucks and has spoiled a perfectly good game.

 

[Gint11]

Regarding the pen, the position Thomas was in, he has no choice but to go with his right foot otherwise the Leicester player is on. The follow through looks bad but it’s harsh because it’s a natural position from the tackle. Harsh but if it was the other way round, I’d be calling it.

The Darren England Show

Correction ...The Darren England shit show

 

[ccfc922]

That’s the rules now though. He was out of control. It’s a pen.

With how he's reaching for the ball, that impact wouldn't snap a wotsit, never mind a leg. Studs might hurt, but that's go next to no impact.

The cuntt rolling around helped the ref.

Thomas has won the ball, it's as simple as that. If that was given to us, I'd say it's not a penalty.

 

[Nick]

Let’s get into these cunts second half

Amen.

Can see Palmer getting sent off though.

 

[pusbccfc]

He's moved towards his foot. Clever from the Leicester man, poor from the ref.

 

[HadjiChippo]

If that is a high boot what about their goalie in the first half with his boot an inch away from out players head going for the ball. Fucking shambles some decisions here. I thought their red was borderline I'd be pissed off if it was one of our players but I'd understand why it was given.

Exactly, if we’d have made a meal of that the ref might’ve done something but that’s one of the most obvious high footed dangerous challenges I’ve seen. Lucky our player pulled out or he’s getting a serious concussion there

“Won the ball” is unfortunately irrelevant now

 

[Grendel]

I have seen it back in the bar - it’s difficult to say it’s not a penalty in truth - probably unlucky that it’s given in open play but it’s a dumb challenge

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

I think Bidwell got him sent off with the jump in the air. Fair play

If he hadn’t jumped he would be on his way to hospital now.

 

[pusbccfc]

Amen.

Well hopefully the ref starts booking the Leicester players when the foul him unlike the first half.

 

[stupot07]

Decent half, don't deserve to be losing. We limited them, but they had a great chance and should have been 1-0 up, then O'Hare should have hit the target.

Palmer has been poor, been beaten to the ball too many times, touch has been heavy and then his through balls needed Usain Bolt upfront.

It's difficult as Goddens no really offering that much, but he's played ok.

Sheaf, Bidwell and Sakamoto the standouts in the first half.

Changed my mind seen it from two angles and excessive force is right call

come on city let’s beat these

They had at least 2 where their players were beaten and they just fouled to stop an attack.

 

[jordan210]

Agreed don’t know what was said of course but doesn’t normally happen for querying the decision

esp as one was Saka who speaks little English

 

[Deleted member 5849]

I'd like to know how else he's supposed to challenge for that to avoid the penalty. Diving header?

 

[mrtrench]

VAR probably would have give it

You are probably right. But the attacker does run into the foot, not vice versa. Does that count for anything?

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Let’s get into these cunts second half

The players or the Leicester fans in this bar?

 

[HadjiChippo]

No he hasn’t. So many fouls given with no yellow cards to Leicestet.

KDH,winks and Casadei shouldve had bang on bookings for sure. Refs a joke.
