Tinker on.

I'm not a fan of vardy. I don't know why.

But if that's a red then football is doomed.

[booder]

Not a red for me but i can see why it was given.

Great analysis of it on Goals on Sunday.

From the ref's position - 2 feet of the ground, reckless and out of control. Looking at their clips it is hard to disagree and technically a red card. But one of those if not given there are no complaints either and sympathy from me personally compared to the horrors, say, United have got away with in the last couple of matches or so. Rojo onviously should have been off twice and Ibra violent conduct again yesterday.

GOS also  put a case for the defence and also sympathy for Vardy because Johnson wraps his arm round Vardy and his body position forces Vardy's legs into the air. But still a red card!

A nightmare week for Pawson and I see he has got Liverpool v City on NYE. Howard Webb reckons he should be pulled from that game.

[DMorgan]

You can see why the ref would see it as a dangerous tackle but Diouf sees him coming and doesn't make any attempt to move

Feels pretty tough to get a straight red there but at the same time tough on the ref to rescind it, just a really marginal situation that could have gone either way

Once it started to kick off before half time he was probably nailed on to pick up a second yellow anyway

Leicester City are to appeal the red card shown to Jamie Vardy in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Stoke City.

the FA are likely to seek comments from both clubs regarding alleged coin-throwing by fans at the game on Saturday.

(there is nothing alleged about it, the away fans threw coins. its a quirk of ice station Britannia that the tunnel is right in the corner slap bang next to the away fans, who were stoked up. no excuse for throwing coins, and pretty harsh if stoke get done as well as lcfc really)

[TightEnd]

about the appeal. odds against to win it, i think but even if he has an extra game added for a failed appeal, that would be the FA Cup 3rd round so no further league impact and maybe worth a shot.

Did you watch it?

IMO they do the analysis of controversial decisions very well on GOS. Good editors, time to analyse all angles etc

Yes. It's the same, fundamentally subjective assessment you get on most magazine shows: adding an offside line and a few slow motion angles doesn't change that. And it's done at such a slow pace.

You get analysis like theirs five seconds after a play live in the NFL.

Monday Night Football is better. I do enjoy that.

[TightEnd]

Vardy appeal rejected. Not surprised, so on we go.

Yes MNF is generally better but for me GOS > MOTD or SKY/BT post-match analysis for specific  incidents albeit Kamara is a buffoon. Thinking about it I like it because they provide full detail to allow me to form my own view.

Not surprised it was rejected but ffs, if that's a red than Barclay should have had a couple last night

[TightEnd]

utterly ridiculous

at the king power this afternoon there are 30,000 of these, one per seat, to "protest" about the vardy suspension!

Chilwell playing today? Looking forward to seeing him if he starts ahead of Schlupp?

[TightEnd]

hopefully chilwell. proper left back and has had to be patient with fuchs in such consistent form

schlupp is off to west brom in Jan. they want to play £12m+ for him, which i would think we should take this time and re-invest
