smudger63 Posted 22 April 2016 Posted 22 April 2016 No one can convince me that Vardy did not dive. It was not a typical dive, in that there was no contact but I believe that Vardy put his leg into the defender to make himself fall under THAT contact. The hand on the shoulder before Vardy was not enough to bring him down or unbalance him enough to make that deliberate action of moving his right leg into the defenders path resulting in the tangle. That doesn't make me any less of a fan guys! It's just the way I see it after watching it numerous times. I do however do not believe it was a yellow card. For me a yellow card should be given when there is 0 contact and is a blatant dive. This was not. I also think the inconsistency from the refs is a disgrace and you either book everyone who goes down in the area or you give them a penalty. It is either a foul or it is a dive. So why on earth Moss decided to not only give this yellow but also in total knowledge that it would result in a red and ban, is totally beyond me. Then to give such a soft penalty when pushing goes on in the penalty area in every single match all season long, is another total mystery. Put the two together, and you think either an anti-leicester twat or an arrogant "i want the attention" twat. Either way, he's a twat. He was certainly looking to win a penalty by putting his leg into the defender, but once he had done that, there was no way he was going to be able to stay on his feet, with him running at pace. So for me, it wasn`t a dive. The vast majority of refs would have just said, no pen, goal kick and carried on, but Moss seemed determined to make the game about himself. Maybe he wanted to have his part in the Vardy film!

Maybe he wanted to have his part in the Vardy film! I agree actually and I had issue labelling it a dive at all. There was contact, enough to bring Vardy and the defender down, but it was of Vardy's doing. Annoyingly I actually think if Vardy hadn't made that movement and instead taken the ball and tried to cut in, then that may have caused the defender to initiate the contact and would have been a penalty or Vardy would have been able to get a shot away on goal. I don't blame Vardy though, he was going at full pace and he has won penalities for similar instances before. The yellow is what I have serious issues with.

Yep, i agree totally with what you say there.
theessexfox Posted 22 April 2016 Posted 22 April 2016 No, that's bang out of order, no one should be sentenced to death just for being shit at their job. I would however be up for contributing to a whip round to raise money to have him severely beaten up. Wtf
Sharpe's Foxes Posted 23 April 2016 Posted 23 April 2016 If a lion was chasing Jon Moss I wouldn't help Jon.
waylander Posted 23 April 2016 Posted 23 April 2016 Had a crap game at arsenal this week to please let him retire soon . Fa should be bombarded with letters over his incompetence . To fat and panics when under pressure. Should be a four official in a box to review decisions like the ones at arsenal and Leicester when the ref is under immense pressure. His many balls ups not mentioning vardy. Could cost us dear .
Matt Posted 15 December 2016 Posted 15 December 2016 Quote Jon Moss will officiate Leicester City for the first time since he controversially sent off Jamie Vardy for diving. The referees have been announced for the next four Premier League games with Moss named as the fourth official for Leicester's trip to Middlesbrough on January 2. Moss has not officiated any City game since that ill-fated 2-2 draw with West Ham in April when he was booed by both sets of fans and had to be escorted off the pitch at the King Power Stadium after a string of contentious decisions. He is most remembered for sending off Vardy for diving, showing the City striker a second yellow card for simulation, before awarding Leicester a stoppage-time penalty that Leonardo Ulloa scored to rescue a point. That followed Moss's decision to give West Ham a spot-kick for Wes Morgan grappling Winston Reid but then refused to do the same when Robert Huth was put in a headlock two minutes later. Vardy was hit with an additional game ban for his abuse to Moss after his red card. http://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/leicester-city-to-be-officiated-by-jon-moss-for-first-time-since-sending-jamie-vardy-off-for-diving/story-29987066-detail/story.html We've obviously not requested that he doesn't officiate any of our games again, bit disappointed about that. Also disappointed that if we do have to him as a ref it's not a home games, imagine the abuse we could give him. Respect the ref, you're having a laugh.

I don't think any club should be able to dictate who does our does not referee their games. He didn't have a great game that day but he's hardly the first referee to have a bad match. Bound to get him again sooner or later. Just got to get on with it.

He isn't the ref though, just the fourth official... Saying that we have got bobby referees badly madley as the man in the middle that game, so its an all star dream team.

Plus the West Ham game wasn't the first time Moss fvcked us over.

Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 15 December 2016 Posted 15 December 2016 Wow...people still going on about it? We won the league so we can brush his performance under the carpet, we all have bad games get on with it. Jeez.
orangecity23 Posted 15 December 2016 Posted 15 December 2016 People don't go on about refs like Mike Jones, because despite the fact he gave the infamous faceball penalty against us, he's been fine since then. People go on about Moss and Madley because they are bad over and over again. Madley gave dodgy penalty decisions in Spurs favour against us in 3 seperate games. Moss has done us over on multiple occasions. It is different to the other referees, these two are on a whole different level, to an almost suspicious degree.
Fox92 Posted 15 December 2016 Posted 15 December 2016 So. It was last season. It's gone. There are many other refs that have fvcked us over in the past - particularly Lee Mason - but quite rightly that's in the past.
Bert Posted 15 December 2016 Posted 15 December 2016 He's fourth official we've got Madley against Boro.
Countesthorpe Fox 1884 Posted 15 December 2016 Posted 15 December 2016 At the end of the day the best referees we currently have in the Premier League are Mark Clattenburg, Anthony Taylor, Andre Marriner and Michael Oliver. We've had all 4 of them this year and can't think of any bad decisions from them that changed the outcome of the game? Atkinson Refereed us against Southampton and no one kicked up a fuss?

Freeman's Wharfer Posted 15 December 2016 Posted 15 December 2016 Awful referee. Not just the injustices against us as to why I say that, he seems to be popping up week in week out at other matches making poor calls. Would love to see a log of his controversial decisions.
inckley fox Posted 15 December 2016 Posted 15 December 2016 He's a terrible referee and one of the few people in the world who I would have to seriously restrain myself from strangling if I were ever to come across him. The fact that various high profile ex-refs slated that performance shouldn't be forgotten purely because Carragher argued that he was technically allowed to make those decisions, regardless of those decisions not agreeing with one another. This is a ref who wasn't booking players for diving before that game, during that game nor in the game immediately after, but who decided that Vardy - the crucial striker in the game and in the title race - was the guy he wished to single out. He applied the laws of the game throughout the game, but applied them when he felt like it. One minute it was contact in the penalty box which he applied the rule to, ignoring a dive, in spite of the fact that he'd previously ignored contact and focused on the dive instead. Then he threw the book at us afterwards, as if to confirm that nobody had pulled him to one side and pointed out where he might have done a better job. I mean, if Vardy received an extra two matches for his conduct, why not virtually the whole Spurs team after the Chelsea game? It showed that neither referees nor the authorities have any interest in consistency. Someone on here, weirdly, argued in his favour and used the 'accumulation of offences' argument to justify Vardy's first booking. Every time I watch Moss's games I look out to see if he consistently applies that same rule (or if he always pulls up shirt-pulling in the box, or diving), and there's no question that he doesn't. So why in that game? There was an item on Spanish TV last week, by the way, which highlighted how poor English referees are these days. They focused on Clattenburg, but he was hard done by because I'm sure Madley, Mason and Moss wouldn't survive a Sunday league game. And while I wouldn't wish a lynching on anyone, it would still be a good deal fairer than Moss's officiating.

Let's not forget he sent the Birch off when he was the fourth official before so don't think he won't find a way of making himself the centre of controversial attention
Soar Fox Posted 16 December 2016 Posted 16 December 2016 He also sent off Ben Shephard in the soccer aid game for charity
