Did Vardy Mean It?

I guess we will now find out if there is a conspiracy against us .......

Source has confirmed to me he has been wearing an "All Lives Matter" shirt under his kit, since the restart.

 

This one is a cracking wind up.

I think his reaction after the incident answers your question.

If he is hauled up (and banned) on violent conduct charges, does anyone know if the decision is made behind closed doors?

 

Or will he get a chance to explain himself?

 

If he gets hauled up violent conduct charges I think we can appeal at the risk of having the ban extended,  his season will be practically over if he is banned as its three games for violent conduct.

 

But ffs, how is that deliberate 😂 I know he’s got it in him but he ain’t Bruce Lee.

[The Quick Brown Fox]

Looked to me like he kicked out. When falling over its natural to tuck your leg up, his goes straight and swings. I was expecting a card during the game.

I totally understand why Arsenal fans think it's deliberate as let's be honest, it doesn't look great and he's pretty spiky at the best of times.

 

The key thing is though, he goes to apologise immediately and knowing Vardy as we do, do you think for a second he's going to apologise if he means to do it? No way. He'd have just walked away.

I think it's possible he meant to have a little dig with his foot but did not intend to get Mustafi in the face. Then when he realised that he'd made contact with the face, he immediately apologised. Or it could have been a complete accident. In any case, there's no way anybody could definitively say it was deliberate, so there won't be any action.

[Guest Kopfkino]

I thought I liked Arteta, comes across well and is clearly a decent coach even if he is just desperate to be a Pep tribute act, but him whinging about this is seriously pathetic. 

 

I expect it from the fans, typical North London wet wipes. 

[Lambert09]

If it was Kel this wouldn’t even be a topic. All about Vardys image 

[BirminghamFox]

close this thread 

[The Horse's Mouth]

I reckon he might have left it in on him, its irrelevant anyway because mustafi is the reason Vardy went flying, anybody comparing that to a brain dead thug trying to break Justin's leg is a ****ing idiot 

[jmono84]

Just look at the way the defender collapses on Vards leg making Vards fall over, there’s a lot of momentum when he goes over. All his leg has done is rotated with his body as he tries to turn around. Imagine someone grabbed hold of you and spun you around till you fell over, your legs wouldn’t stay together and the other would dangle out as you plant the standing leg. Complete accident.

[HighPeakFox]

Oh btw, kudos to all those who hope he meant it. Smashing.

I'd be disappointed if he doesn't wear a "Jap lives matter" shirt under his kit. 

[Hales]

To be honest even having a thread and discussing it gives fuel to the fire. No he didn't mean it and let's back our boy and not even doubt it!

[lcfc278]

If Nketiah doesn't get sent off, this wouldn't even be a topic of discussion. Typical Arsenal mentality, rooted from the Wenger days, to try and look somewhere else for blame when they haven't done their own jobs properly.

 

Didn't take their chances and it's complete sour grapes.

[Nalis]

Loving the hissy fits from BludFam FC fans.

[Dahnsouff]

Not just the Fam, the lads in the rain ain`t keen on it either, and they should be taken as completely unbiased when it comes to banning the leading scorer of the league obviously

You can the more "normal" posters on that forum than others. The fact none of them can straight up say "definitive red" means it wasn't clear and obvious.

 

Edit:
"Is it just me, or has retrospective bans decreased dramatically since the introduction of VAR?
This in the past would definitely get looked at!"

 

Assume he forgets that everything is reviewed by VAR, so if the officials see it and deem it not a foul, then there's little to nothing that can be done by retrospective action

Got to hand it to him - he's managed to fit in seemlessly. Classic of Sky and their big 6 fetish to give that more air time than the wrongly disallowed goal for us.

I don’t think he is that type of player. Or is it only 3 reds Son We say that about.

Yeah, I think if he had meant it, he wouldn't have put up the pretence of being sorry, he'd have just walked off as if nothing happened.

[Fightforever]

Arsenal fans are making it bigger than it is. They did something similar with the tweet Choudhury made when he was 15 and got him fined for it their fan base is embarrassing and if you want proof look at arsenal fan TV

[TwoOwls]

Arsenal fan here and yes Vardy should have been sent off because his 'crime' was the same as Nketiahs. Gone are the days a lot of us here would get misty eyed about where there was full contact. But the letter of the law now is that if there is an action that results/or could result in a serious injury then its a Red. Vardy left his stud marks in Mustafi's face, thats a red card offence whether he meant it or not. But for those saying he wasn't looking at Mustafi, he did turn around and check where he was before swinging the boot. I'd like to think he didn't mean it, but nor did Nketiah. So either both are Red or both are Yellow. Think its the useless bunch of Refs we currently have that we should be really getting annoyed about. VAR is a good thing, its just being manned by Idiots

[Countryfox]

Personally I don’t think he meant to hit him in the head ...   he was probably aiming for his neck but like some of his shooting lately was slightly off target ...

I sketchily remembered it being something like that, thanks for refreshing me.

 

Only 1 game remaining would surely end his chance of the Golden Boot.

 

Yeah, there's no way he did it intentionally as others confirmed (as I didn't see the match last night) he clearly showed good spirit in his concern for Mustafi straight after.

[CosbehFox]

Arsenal fans wanting a retrospective ban would do well to check who've gotta play. Direct rivals for them claiming an European spot - the spanners
