Ref does seem like a bit of a tart

Bannan was a second yellow not a straight red 

You're right but it was a red card challenge by the written rules. Many Leicester fans wanted a straight red at the time.

Brainless challenge but a red was harsh. Agree the Oxford players got it over the line there.

[OntarioFox]

Set up lovely for a Carranza winner here 

[SafewayFox]

Not a red BUT such a moronic and unnecessary tackle.

 

Don’t give the referee a decision to make. 
 

Anonymous and dumb debut.

[Simonb]

Need Winks on for Skipp as hes the only one who can pass from deep and get us back up the pitch. Ayew to hold it up deeper and the wingers to run on.

 

Only hope we have. We lose this now.. we arent good enough to get anything with just 10 men

Behave. These are absolutely shite and even with 10 men we should still beat this rabble. Providing the ref actually starts doing his job properly 

[brookfox]

Bring Daka on, sit back and counter.

[Suzie the Fox]

What an idiot, so annoying to be down to 10 with another 65 mins to play. 

[Pliskin]

The ref has been a ****ing disgrace.

Get Soumare off now 

On a yellow, good chance.

It actually worse in real time than what it was. 
 

This has been an awful showing so far.

 

Why are we such a mess as a football team? 

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

Can’t have had many red cards of debut before?

 

So I guess we’re just going to plod on and have even less threat up top? Ayew is so frustrating to watch. He doesn’t know when to release the ball and always holds on to it for far too long.

[TrentFox]

That is us down to 9 with Skipp on 😞

[Pita]

We do have some muppets playing for us 

[KFS]

Ref has been shocking, but that’s a stupid thing to do. We’ve been crap against a bunch of absolute plodders as well.

[UniFox21]

Absolutely a yellow, but an extremely harsh red. 

[JonnyZeroFox]

It was clumsy, and a red was very harsh. We should appeal that one

Personally I'd have given a yellow, but based on the written rules it looked a red to me. Lost control, went in dangerously and studs came up. If Bannan was a red, so was that. 

Bannan’s was never a red.

[EnderbyFox]

Really disappointed with Marti today, thought he was a relatively fashionable man but that Body Warmer / Jacket really is hideous

The idiot was the ref. It was never ever a red card. It wasn’t reckless or dangerous, it was just a firm tackle. Yes it was a foul, but a yellow card at best. 

[MPH]

Need to nobble their no.7

[fazzyfox]

Great contribution Ramsey. Never liked him when he was at Arsenal and Cardiff, dirty do and so
