Guest Gist Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 Why lambast the officials?Our strikers should just learn to time their runs better, simple as that None of them can time a run Instead we lambast officials for flagging players offside when they ARE offside and cant time a run for shizzle I agree I don't understand when Waghorn has so much pace he can afford to time his run that second or so later, most of the time he'd be through on goal as well.
maddog Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 Fryatts contributed the most to that figure he's woeful for offsides, 10 times worse than Dj ever was. With him injured Derby will catch us
Matt Posted 22 February 2010 Posted 22 February 2010 No, We're the team who seem to get the worst officials. Based on the offsides given when i'm watching Leicester I think I need to read up on the offside rule, On the rules I know and was taught - Which as far as I know are right, It's certainly not the same as what the majority of Linesman are waving their flags for. But RESPECT THE OFFICIALS - They are always right, even when their wrong.

There should be a new Foxestalk award at the end of this year for "Least Favourite Contributor". DB11 - this is a Leicester City fan's discussion forum, not a refereeing convention. I'm sure you support the team just as much as the rest of us, but don't you see that no one wants a lecture on how the officials are actually usually right?! This is football, and fans of one team are not supposed to be unbiased, neutral commentators. So what if the referee has actually made the right decision? If it's bad for our team then it's a bad decision in our eyes! This might seem stupid and infantile but as far as I'm concerned it's the way it's always been, and the way it'll always be. This little rant's fuelled mostly by the Post-Newcastle thread by the way...

This little rant's fuelled mostly by the Post-Newcastle thread by the way... Im going to stick up for DB11 here I understand your point However what i will NOT do is blindly support everything that out side/players do. Im as big a leicester fan as they come, but if i see one of our players make a tackle in a silly area of the pitch that could result in a foul, i will go MENTAL at the player who was STUPID enough to do that, in the same way i would be rubbing my hands together if an opposition player was to do the same in that scenario. Our record on offside decisions is PATHETIC. It is NOT the officials fault that our forwards have so little intelligence as to time a run Heres a classic example: When Hume was upfront, people around me would laud him for his 'effort' in closing down out wide and chasing back like mad THIS EFFORT WAS TOTALLY FUTILE AND UNNECESSARY and i would say the same, less can be more I feel the same about the way we blindly criticise officials with no merit other than he gave a free kick against us/ booked a player etc. What many people need is a different set of laws for both teams the way some people go on about the officials

In this we are agreed - for example I went mental at Dany N'Guessan during the Cardiff FA Cup game when he gave away an obvious and needless foul that lead to their goal. However, my problem with DB11 is that EVERY time an official's decision is questioned on here, he has to come in with the "no actually it was the correct decision" or "well you wouldn't have been able to spot that if you were the referee" line - it's boring, predictable, patronising and generally quite annoying.

lcfcadam Posted 23 February 2010 Posted 23 February 2010 But probably correct? Yes but as I said before that's not the point! I swear people on here must be different to every other group of fans in Britain, if they want to make sure that every statement made about events in a match is "correct"... Most times a team fails to win, it is the team's fault only, not the officials'. Fine, fact accepted. But if you have to give your all-knowing, expert, referee's view of any decision that is disputed by fans on an internet forum (whether it's correct or not)... to me it's just unnecessary and boring.

Is DB11 an actual professional ref? It's part of the game to question the refs decisions. I will take a wild guess that against forest, we will be cheated out on at least 1 penalty, 4 offsides.
leftsideoverhere Posted 23 February 2010 Posted 23 February 2010 Can one of the people sticking up for officials in this thread please explain why on Saturday there were two or possibly three 'offside' decisions given in situations where the offending Leicester striker didn't even get to the ball, and the defender was comfortably in control of possession? It's a genuine question. I thought that to be offside a player had to be active, and on the occasions I'm thinking of there was no reason to flag, and no reason for the ref to blow. You quite often see refs wave away offside flags if the defence win the ball, but on Saturday in the first half I swear Plymouth got three free kicks right on the half way line for 'offside' transgressions given when they already had possession, albeit closer to the goal-line. And I'm sure we saw Waghorn waved as offside while he was still on Leicester's half at one point.
MrSpaM Posted 23 February 2010 Posted 23 February 2010 Has anybody else heard the Wellans interview on the doncaster match preview on the bbc site, sounds like Waghorns had a talking to about being offside to much by the rest of the team
Houdini Logic Posted 24 February 2010 Posted 24 February 2010 Does no-one ever read these stats in the program? Makes me chuckle every week
