"No further action" on claims Moss was verbally abused0 by lcfc officials

[Chester Dontlie]

Tbh I'm starting to think this whole Moss hatred is going a bit too far now.

90% of people are in agreement that Vardy dived. Vardy got away with a bookable offence prior to the challenge he got booked for (was warned). West ham got dodgy penalty but then so did we (evened up)

 

You want to see proper dive mate, here's one from today's game, German Cup semi-final Bayern vs Werder Bremen:

Yes Vards made a meal out of it but no sane ref should hand out cards for that, I mean at least there was some physical contact (not to mention his first yellow was as soft as they can be)

 

Apart from making football look like a card game Moss acted like a 9 year old schoolgirl, pushing for extended ban like this. Hearing offensive words is daily bread for the football refs around the globe, imo it's unfair to blame Vardy here especially when he left the pitch without making too much of a fuss.

 

If Moss can't handle the f and c words he should consider a change of profession. If he'd lost a few pounds he would do alright do as an emergency croupier replacement in some run down casino

Club is run by mice

They should have choked him on the ground while he was being rodded with a bunch of nettles !

They didn't even mouth off At him FFS !

Nige would have sorted him !

[foxes_rule1978]

So what would have happened if Schmeichels save didn't rebound off both posts 1st minute? The reason I am not blaming the ref too much was because a draw was the fair result. When a draw is the fair result and a draw is the outcome I don't really get the issue

Kasper made a world class save it is why the best teams make sure they have the best keepers. Them pulling off great saves isn't luck or unfortunate, just like a player scoring a stunner, you make sure you have the players that can do that.

[Oxfordfox83]

Well I'm pretty sure West ham would have scored anyway even if there penalty wasn't given. We couldn't keep the ball at all and the pressure would have eventually told.

Well if you're pretty sure, that'll do for me. Could you give me your opinion on Spurs winning the title? Presumably they deserve it and we're bound to cave in eventually. It would save a lot of time if you could let us know...

You missed out the judo move on Huth in the penalty box that wasn't given...

[possiblygeorge]

When was the last time a player copped a second yellow for "diving".

Honestly can't remember.

Phew!

In fairness, his performance was quite good compared to the assistant that permitted Man City's goal tonight.

 

Admittedly, all things are relative.

[Royston.]

when will vardy's punishment be announced?

[Cadno'r Cymoedd]

In all seriousness I am relieved that seemingly there was no abuse by any club official. There is nothing to suggest that Moss said that is there? But rather it came from another source and now seems false. Whatever our ire over Moss' performance no club official should abuse an official. That would be totally unacceptable and contrary to the grace and charm that the owners and Claudio have sought to instil especially after last summer's issues. The club's name and reputation is paramount. Also I hope that the claims that Sullivan was abused and Moss had a drink thrown over him by a supporter are similarly disproved - have they been?

As Hemingway said Courage is grace under pressure. Apart from a few journos most people want us to succeed. Let's keep that grace from players to fans to officials as we fight to the finish.

No it wasn't "evened up"

We were 6 minutes away (8-10 minutes if you include extra time) from 3 points.

The Morgan penalty was the only chance Moss had to even up the game (and take 3 pts away from us) as we likely would have gotten the clean sheet without it even down 10 men.

I beg your pardon?

 

It was a clumsy challenge by both parties, but to say Vardy dived is an insult to dives.

I don't see people "hating" Moss, I sense more fans both being baffled by his decisions as well as his lack of competence and lack of control of the game.

[mozartfox]

I am told in tandem with PFA Player of the year.

[sylofox]

Why people are going on about the pens is beyond me.

The game should never have been allowed to get in the state it was.

It was obvious at ht someone was going to get sent off.

That ref is either the poorest ref going or he wanted to de rail our season.

Players were getting away with murder that then in sighted other players to carry out retribution.

It was piss poor from start to finish and no not sour grapes everyone in the pub said the same.

[ARM1968]

Does that mean then that the FA do not believe Mossy boy? Or that there is not enough evidence - which amounts to the same thing really.

Is a strange one as surely there is just as little evidence about what Vardy said, it's just his word?

Does anyone have a link to the tunnel incident? It has been taken down on YouTube

It's not available online now but I saw it before it got pulled. Moss enters the tunnel and walks towards the dressing room. After walking 10 yards or so he turns back and has a very brief word with somebody (possibly Andrew Neville), apparently in response to something that was said, before resuming his walk back to the changing room. It's over in seconds and amounts to hardly anything. If he included that non-incident in his match report, it tells us a lot about the man.

 

It's also worth reviewing the footage of him leaving the pitch to see if you can find any evidence of drinks being thrown at him. Hint: you won't.

[shen]

 

No idea what challenge you're referring to but it is irrelevant - the one Vardy was booked for was arguably not even a foul.

 

It was shown on MotD 2 highlights. Similar to the one he was booked for, but actually caught the man that time.

[jayfox26]

West Ham got a dodgy penalty in the 84th minute when we were 1-0 up (we'd previously kept 5 consecutive clean sheets), we then didn't get a blatant penalty in stoppage time before finally getting a dodgy penalty at the end. We were given the opportunity to salvage a point after essentially being denied the chance of earning all three, it wasn't really evened up.

Spot on and the decision that changed the game was Vardys red. I'm convinced we'd have won with 11 men on the field

[Steven]

Give me £80k a year & you can call me a cheating cvnt as often as you like.

 

If someone had slapped him then fair enough, but a bit of name calling is to be expected surely?  Man up you big girl's blouse.

 

No-one calls me a cheating cvnt.    Other names maybe .......   

[Ricey]

Imagine how many charges we'd have had if Pearson was still our manager.

 

One of the charges would have probably been murder.

With respect, this is utter bullshit as far as I'm concerned.

 

I don't care if Vardy "got away" with a booking prior to his first yellow card. If he committed a foul worthy of a yellow he should have gave it him then.

 

The first yellow Vardy received might not be even a foul IMO let alone a yellow card. Vardy tackles in a perfectly fine manner and the player goes over after he runs into Vardy after the tackle, it's simply never in a million years a yellow card offence, accumulation of fouls or not.

 

On the red card Vardy was 100% being fouled and went down. Now he went down very easily, no question about that but I believe if you're being fouled you're entitled to go down. You can be butchered in a tackle but it's unlikely you'll get a penalty if you stay on your feet. The correct response from the referee should have been play on as he wasn't impeded enough to get a penalty.

 

The referee has had a stinker on both decisions.

Does that mean then that the FA do not believe Mossy boy? Or that there is not enough evidence - which amounts to the same thing really.

I wanted to post similar things to this but didn't know how to word it.

Basically, so the FA think he's lying/not enough evidence? (Apparently abusive language was used and a water bottle hit his assistant on the leg), if not why not follow the charges up like they are the rest of his report?

If it's a case of lack of evidence/not really following it up then how can the charge from the off based on the rest of his report?

For me there is possible more evidence in these claims because apparently it was all filmed on Tunnel Cam (which has since been edited), the evidence is there for you.

As for the water bottle hitting his assistant, surely that is worse than simple verbal abuse and should be took further?

Listen I'm glad there is no further action being taken but it just gives you more questions and fuels the fire of how inconsistent the FA really are.

Think there was a bit more to the refs performance than that.
