Vardy & LCFC Charged by the FA - Charges Accepted & Personal Hearing Requested

[les-tah]

if he appeals how long can he prolong it for? e.g using the best lawyers around ect.

[norwichfox]

If television replays existed then it wouldn't have been a yellow in the first instance.

Despite us being severely fcuked over by the Dross Moss (and co-conspirators ). I pretty sure there aren't many of us that  wouldn't have been jerking off to the thought of being  5 points clear with 4 to go, and a place in the Champions League,I guess we've no choice but to put all this crap behind us and get behind the team in the best way we can.

Would be brilliant if he could appeal it til the end of the season

At this moment in time, 5 points clear with 4 to go is whay makes it worse. Im just glad the players look to be enjoying it.

How does a hearing cost a grand?

 

It would cost much more than that, look how many people have attended - have to pay their time, expenses, cost of the venue etc. 

[sdb]

It would be interesting to compile this, all the Rooney/Keane/Drogba/Toure/Neville/Carragher etc histrionics into one video for the club to post in response to any ban. In a 'Just saying' way.

 

 

I suspect they're in the process of compiling exactly this. It'd explain the lack of news as it'd take about 4 days to edit all the material together. 

[dannythefox]

He'll defo get another game, Swansea we can hopefully cope without him but Utd away is completely different.

[GaelicFox]

This is all being controlled by the film producers for the dramatic ending.  Vardy will miss the next 3 in which we only pick up 2 points.  Spurs will however also drop points and it all hinges on the last game.  John Terry, being one of the bad guys of course, hassles vardy all game, mouthing off at how it's his fault Leicester have blown blah blah blah.  Vardy scores a last minute winner sparking scenes of jubilation and roll credits!

Loch Ness monsters exist ?

Roy Hodgson defending Vardy when questioned about it tonight.

Said that it wasn't a dive and that he was unbalanced. Also said "he's called him a few names but that can happen he's a human being"

[theessexfox]

But Hodgson hates Vardy and wants any reason not to take him?????

Leicester’s Jamie Vardy acted naturally and is being wronged, says Hodgson

• England manager feels sympathy for ‘wronged’ striker 
• Vardy facing one-game ban and possible extra suspension

Roy Hodgson has insisted that Jamie Vardy is the victim of an injustice and should not be castigated for the “human” reaction to being sent off that has left theLeicester City striker facing an extended ban from the Football Association.

Vardy is facing an additional one-game suspension because of his finger-jabbing tirade in the face of the referee, Jon Moss, after being shown a second yellow card, for alleged diving, in Leicester’s 2-2 draw against West Ham on Sunday. The England international has been charged with improper conduct but Hodgson, the FA’s highest-profile employee, said he feels sorry for the player.

 

“I sympathise with him,” Hodgson said. “I think he was very, very unlucky and I will go out on a limb – I don’t see that as a dive. I think he was unbalanced and that was it. I don’t think it was a penalty either. I just think he was unbalanced, running at that speed and there was a very slight contact with the defender who was trying to cover.

“I think he went down because he was unbalanced but, of course, all the pundits I hear are saying: ‘He was trying to dive, look how he dived.’ I don’t see it and I wouldn’t blame him for that. I don’t think he did go down. It’s not in his make-up.

“When you get sent off for something like that – where he obviously feels like I feel, and there is no doubt he is of that opinion – he has had to swallow the fact that he has been made to leave the field. Then, of course, he has reacted like sometimes human beings react. He hasn’t just said to the ref: ‘That’s all right, I understand, shake hands and have a good game.’ He has called him a few names. But he is a human being and that can happen.

“Players are players. You take everything that the player brings with him. You take Wayne Rooney – he, in my recollection, was pretty hot-headed earlier in his career and got himself into scrapes on the field. But you take what the player brings.”

Hodgson’s comments might not be in line with the stance his employer wants to take when it comes to protecting referees, but the England manager does intend to speak to his players about the importance of discipline at Euro 2016.

Could work in JV's favour?

[Detroit Blues]

One would think if Roy really felt that way, why he wouldn't have pulled some strings about vardys FA charge.

[Itsthejoeker]

Oh shit, he might get off if Woy is involved

One would think if Roy really felt that way, why he wouldn't have pulled some strings about vardys FA charge.

Maybe he has/is doing, we've had no announcement of an extra ban. Just a charge which could easily end up as an apology and a fine

Good to hear, hopefully Hodgson saying such a thing will help Vardy's cause, I'm holding out it remains just the one game ban

[rmahrez]

Roy's gone up in my estimation after that. Would be thrilled if he got off with a one game ban. Don't see why Roy would go against the view of his employer.

[Danno]

Wait, so as it stands Vardy is only banned for Swansea?

[Legend_in_blue]

Can see this remaining a one game ban if this is Woy's view - should the guardian be seen as a reliable source of information though?

[MrLuke]

Seems it's made a few of the back pages of tomorrow's papers too. Let's hope he can swing this in our favour.

[Devonfox1884]

Scenes when his ban stays at one match because of Hodgson

[Trav Le Bleu]

Wait, so as it stands Vardy is only banned for Swansea?

Yes.

Any further penalty for this incident hasn't been decided yet, or at least revealed. As it stands, it's likely to be 1 extra game, but not definite.

[Harry - LCFC]

Honestly it'll be like the scenes in the Spurs away end when Bobby Huth nutted it in if this ban doesn't get extended.

[CFCFAN1]

You're getting the same treatment now as we did towards the end of last season, I'm sure it's being done to make the league closer.

[biggs]

Interesting that Bilic announced he has no problem with his players occasionally diving
