Man City (H) League Cup match thread

[possiblygeorge]

The Semi's beckons, as does penalties.

And unlike two seasons ago in a shootout with Hull we don't have Schwarzer.

We have, uh, Hamer...

[Webbo]

Soft pen but no dive.

 

Poor old Okazaki, he doesn't normally play 70 mins, now he'll have to play 130.

[Bob Weasel Fox]

Come on Leicester!!

[TrentFox]

Bugger !! Had just taken one of my super-fast working sleeping tablets about 30 seconds before that peno!!!! 

[The Doctor]

Madleys done it to us tbf - the "handball" in the last minute at WHL in the fa cup two years ago?

[brucey]

So is that Man United and Liverpool that Gray will probably be banned for? We might have opted to go more defensive with Albrighton for those games anyway.

[Kasey Keller]

8 mins

What a time for the stream to freeze.  Missed the goal but who cares

 

So you watch 95 minutes and we fail to score and you miss 3 and we do? I don’t think you should watch extra time mate.

[stripeyfox]

Wasn't a penalty but who cares? Nicely tucked away by Vards 

[foxes_rule1978]

Harsh but it was a clumsy challenge, not much in it but there was no need for walker to have put himself in like that... excellent for us  

[whoareyaaa]

Karma of the Caraboa

[bluesbrothers]

Softest peno we'll ever get, but I'll take that all day - we've deserved a goal for our efforts. 

Now just hang in there half an hour and we'll do them on PKs. Please?

There was contact wasn't there? Just not very much  

I didn’t see any tbh. If there was contact of any sort surely he can’t be banned can he?

[vanity]

No clue why people think that could be a ban on Gray. Plenty of body contact, when you are running at speed, it doesn't take much to send you sprawling, and Demari was being very physical early on trying to stay up, but he caught a ton of contact from Walker. Sure, it wasn't some obvious kick to the leg that gets zero ball, but a 3-game ban for that? No chance in my mind.

[M0901]

Hows Shinji going to survive this. He'll probably bow out this weekend!!!

[Redouane]

There's an additional sub in OT. He can be subbed off

He'll probably claim the overtime! 

[fuchsntf]

They cant ban him...Gray was touched...Santa is a Leicester fan.

Walker had his hand on Gray's side and seemed to scoop his foot trying to take the ball. I think Gray could have stayed upright but it didn't seem like a dive.

agreed.

 

there was contact and gray was entitled to go down. 

 

people making out it was a dive are wrong. 

[ALC Fox]

Great to see Vardy put it in the corner rather than smash it down the middle. Excellent penalty. Power and placement.

[Jobyfox]

We can make another sub now it’s gone into extra time - so Oki might not make 120 yet
