Ric Flair Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 If only he'd dived in on that shot cum cross from Okazaki and it would have been 2-0 and game over.
The Doctor Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 Moss is from North London, why wasn't he changed out like Friend was? Durhams a fairly far way from London tbf.
FantasticMrFox&Son Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 After the first quarter of an hour when some feisty challenges went unpunished I said to my son that a red card would be branded today. Vards first yellow was harsh given what had gone before, not sure why Jon Moss thought the challenge deserved a card. The penalty/dive situation was probably "judged" a dive due to the dramatic way he went down, although replays show contact was made. Could have a big impact if the red is not challenged/rescinded though the number of reds overturned recently makes me think the FA will back Jon Moss. I agree he had a poor game, spoilt a good contest by some strange decisions. Credit to the lads on the pitch for rescuing a point, now it's time to move on. Win against Swansea next time out, and see if Palace and/or Stoke can upset the form books in the remaining matches this week-end.
The Year Of The Fox Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 He's played for that penalty as opposed to 'dived' for it. Still stupid to risk though. Though the first was never a yellow
bovril Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 Vardy tried to win it. Ok the second yellow was harsh but you run that risk when you're on a booking and throw yourself over in the area. Their penalty was something of a joke but really I'm sick of seeing players grabbing on to each other in the box, and both Morgan and Huth were running that risk. Our penalty I haven't seen again but it looked harsh on first viewing.
gdl9050 Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 If only he'd dived in on that shot cum cross from Okazaki and it would have been 2-0 and game over. Agreed. Ranieri suggested it too. I'm not sure why he didn't. It wasn't that far away from him

Our penalty I haven't seen again but it looked harsh on first viewing. The second yellow looked harsh? If that was harsh then the first was the biggest travesty known to mankind. Ref totally ruined this match and needs to be struck off, or sent back to ref an under 11's league for a season or two.
gdl9050 Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 honestly,watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-naupO0vB8s Mate he's looking for a penalty and it's a dive. There's bias and then there's bias... If that was kane you would be saying definite dive.
RowlattsFox Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 honestly,watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-naupO0vB8s All that proves is vardy tripped the defender. Vardy needed to be in front of the defender in order to win a pen. He isn't.
Ozwin Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 Honestly believe he was trying to get in front of the player and get clipped. The pundits were saying he was ahead of the player like he had an opportunity to shoot but in reality they are side by side and he's got no chance. He tried to get ahead, at speed I might add and the touch has brought him tumbling. I can see both sides but I don't think it's a booking at all.

I meant to get a second yellow for that is harsh, but completely understandable.
gdl9050 Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 The best way to work out decisions with no bias or from your heart is to imagine another player in the same situation. And if that is kane or sturridge or sterling we are all saying dive
weller54 Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 Mate, he was a pair of speedos and a swim cap away from looking like a candidate for Team GB's swimming team. Wouldn't get in.. Tom Daley and Delli Alli are in front of him.
GingerrrFox Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 It wasn't a penalty but it wasn't a dive either. It was a simple coming together between two players running for the ball. There doesn't always need to be a decision to make, the referee should have left it to be a goal kick and that's it.

How was it a simple coming together when vardy moves his legs into the defenders on purpose
davieG Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 The fact that it's being debated as was it or was it not tells me that one thing it wasn't 100% certain and if it isn't then it shouldn't be given, that applies to any ref decision.
filbertway Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 honestly,watch this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-naupO0vB8s That second shot shows Vardy stepping right in front of Ogbonna. That all but proves he was trying to con a pen.
NewburyFox Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 It was a pretty blatant dive IMO. There's a tangle of legs because Vardy has engineered it and then thrown himself over trying to win a penalty. The first yellow is a disgrace though.

The people arguing for and against are a 100% sure though. I'm sure the ref was 100% sure it was a bookable offence (though today is not a great example of his judgement of yellow cards).
AyewJoking Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 theres going down easy and theres diving. he made a meal out of it and the ref had little option but to give a yellow. rightly or wrongly vardy's already on a booking so its a risk that has backfired. vardy has more than earned himself a few mistakes though.

Only straight reds can be appealed.
ajthefox Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 Vardy deliberately does everything he can to win a penalty, the defender isn't at fault at all. The first yellow was ridiculously soft but I can understand the second. Vardy should've been concentrating on the ball not on getting a pen. I don't understand people saying their pen was soft. Morgan was holding him with both hands and then they both went over. How isn't it a pen?? Huth got lucky on two occasions and could've been booked too. Huth also should have had a pen, but the one we actually received was soft imo.
Happy Fox Posted 17 April 2016 Posted 17 April 2016 Moss is a w**ker of the highest order. We didn't deserve to lose that game, so one point closer to the title, is how it is.
