Vardinio'sCat Posted 18 February 2016 Posted 18 February 2016 It's still two footed and into a players calf rather than the ball, it was a red card same way if you leave your foot high trying to control the ball and your foot goes into their chest, we we're lucky. Two-footed? I'll go back and have a look at that... I suggest you go and look at the angles again, because I don't want to go all Babylon on you, but it really, really isn't. I take your point that it was dangerous, but he was entitled to go for that ball, and imho, it was not deliberate, whereas a high foot is always going to be a conscious decision. I appreciate that v few will agree with my point about it not being a tackle, but I think this whole discussion was 'framed' by hyped up Arsenal fans. In my opinion, the ref was bang on with this one. Credit where credit is due
easilee Posted 18 February 2016 Posted 18 February 2016 Wrong and puerile and immature but ever so slightly humorous
Arriba Los Zorros Posted 18 February 2016 Posted 18 February 2016 Wrong and puerile and immature but ever so slightly humorous guy in red vest with dreadlocks is an embarassment!! Don't get into an actual fight mate you'll be hospitalised with reactions like that
nnfox Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 I am now over this result and looking forward to the rest of the season.
truebluethroughandthrough Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 I am now over this result and looking forward to the rest of the season. Thanks for sharing
Larry_LCFC Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 I actually think losing this may have been a blessing in disguise in hindsight. The week after the Man City win I saw nothing but Leicester City everywhere - papers, internet, TV. I have barely seen a thing about us this week which is how I like it. Just let us get on with it quietly and fvck the hype. I'm sure if we beat Norwich it will be back again.
Richmondfox Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 Never a red card, it's also not a tackle. Watching back on the link from AKCJ, Ramsey pulled out of a 50/50 which Drinky got to first. You can see Ramsey slow down and bottle the challenge but put his leg straight into the challenge rather than jump or avoid. I know it's probably a lot harder to do at the speed they were going at. If Ramsey made a slide tackle like Drinky then he would've got to the ball and been less impact. Still no justification for his Wolverine like recovery after 6 rolls on the floor. I wish he had hurt him, at least all the moaning and comments from Arsenal fans would be justified. I finally got to speak to my mate at work who is an Arsenal season ticket holder. He got really angry and defensive saying we are cheats and divers but Arsenal players aren't. Denies that their players always were waving imaginary cards and play acting. His final shot was come back when you've won the league.
DANGEROUS TIGER Posted 20 February 2016 Posted 20 February 2016 I am still seething over this result. The ref. gave them a"" get out of jail card. What a con!
Fez of Mahrez Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 His final shot was come back when you've won the league. With a policy like that, where's he been for the past 12 years?
Richmondfox Posted 21 February 2016 Posted 21 February 2016 With a policy like that, where's he been for the past 12 years? That's what I said but he responded by saying yeah we've won it before.

shen Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 Wow... http://untold-arsenal.com/archives/50543So by this author's reckoning, we should've had 3 red cards, no penalties, and they should've had 3 penalties. And Simpson should've been sent off earlier than he was. No bias there then...

And Simpson should've been sent off earlier than he was. No bias there then... Blimey, who has the time to do that? Some of the assumptions and interpretations in there are incredible, it is clearly not an ex-official and the Arsenal bias is ridiculous, as is his over officious interpretation of the laws, if that person was the ref every game would finish with 4 red cards. To accuse Mahrez of diving and saying there is no contact is clearly wrong, and everyone agrees that Vardy's was a penalty even most Arsenal fans I've spoken to, no mention of Coquelin shoving Mahrez when he was being substituted either. It is quite sad that someone has spent so much time creating something so mis-informed.
Swarles Barkley Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 Wow... http://untold-arsenal.com/archives/50543 So by this author's reckoning, we should've had 3 red cards, no penalties, and they should've had 3 penalties. And Simpson should've been sent off earlier than he was. No bias there then... just too keen. I get that for some people football is their life but there is a point where it gets a bit ridiculous. Analysing every single thing a ref does in a 90min games is way past that point

And Simpson should've been sent off earlier than he was. No bias there then... This article just appeared on NewsNow. I read it with tears of laughter. Before last week I hadn't realised quite HOW deluded the Arselick fans are. Came onto this thread to see if it had been posted but beaten to it. Unbelievable. Cheating Leicester.....cheating Spurs lmao

Carl the Llama Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 I like how he penalises the ref twice for not booking Simpson early doors - once at the time of the incident and again later when the author agrees with the first yellow card against him but takes points off the ref for not sending him off. He's basically a dickhead maths teacher who gives you no points for getting question 2 wrong even though your working out is clearly correct and the error was caused by the figure you took from question 1 where you did make a mistake.
Carl the Llama Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 Also shout out to the guy in the comments bemoaning how fairly Arsenal play and urging them to put some pressure on the ref in future.
CosbehFox Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 Any scout what has watched Arsenal over the past month will note that you defend deep against them and break. Southampton, Us and Hull all did that with success. Bournemouth tried to play football and lost.
shen Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 Arsenal fans really are the worst. Every club has them. Now, I don't live in the UK, but over here I would say that Man Utd fans are furthest up their behinds. I do get the impression that Arsenal fans think they're entitled to every success by virtue of supporting Arsenal though.

Literally everything. The nerd what argues all day on Twitter and commonly cites statistics as the basis of his argument. There's a small minority what remember when Arsenal were basically a top flight side with occasionally flashes of brilliance and that the Wenger era is essentially legendary.
lgfualol Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 Also shout out to the guy in the comments bemoaning how fairly Arsenal play and urging them to put some pressure on the ref in future. The worst thing about Arsenal fans is their obsession with being "classy".
Babylon Posted 22 February 2016 Posted 22 February 2016 The worst thing about Arsenal fans is their obsession with being "classy". Is this the same Arsenal that under Wenger were breaking red card records in the premier league not so long ago?
