    Vardy Sending Off.

    Not sure why the ref is getting slated it was a dive clear as day. If he was 10 years out he'd have gone for goal. And his reaction after he deserves two more games.

    I can't imagine anyone going down like that before 2000.

    I hope Tottenham won the title now.

    re: Vardy Sending Off.

    I'm sure that what I'm about to say is going to go down well amongst the old fashioned of posters, but this is my opinion:

    There was contact. Vardy played for the foul. Purposely trying to win a penalty is part of the game now. Get over it. I also think that 7/8 times out of 10 he would have got the penalty.

    I completely disagree with the statement that Vardy has dived. A better term to use was that Vardy manufactured the foul. He deliberately drew contact from the defender by slowing down. As far as I am aware, there is no rule in Football stopping players manufacturing a foul. Unless you can call it unsportsmen like play?

    He deliberately stepped in front of the defender so contact was inevitable then dived like Tom Daley! He's done this before and I'm glad he's been found out.A pity for Leicester but that's the way the cookie crumbles.Serves him right for looking like an evil goblin! ;-)

    re: Vardy Sending Off.

    It's the inconsistency of refereeing which frustrates players. In last night's game there were far worse fouls by Spurs and Stoke which went unpunished. As for saying you now hope Spurs win the title Rattea well I suppose that's typically you. How can you hope a London side with loads of cash beat a poor provinsal local side to win the title and keep the minnows in their place. Another bad thing to come out of this is in the Euro Finals other countries will be doing every dirty trick in the book to rile Carry and get him sent off. Still I don't suppose you want England to win anyway Rattea.

    Agree with Nick and RBF. Ref could have just seen it as a 'tangle' of legs and played on. We'd have been apoplectic if one of ours had been sent off in similar circumstances.
    As for Rats...'I can't imagine anyone going down like that before 2000'...you obviously don't remember Alan Clarke and Francis Lee, to but two...or just about any of the 'continentals' in the '70's.

    Have to agree with rats. He cheated and not for the first time this season. But ref was **** poor. He got some massive decisions wrong, in both directions. I would love spurs to win it, but that's because I live in Leicestershire. The amount of people around here who never gave a stuff about football who are walking round with Leicester shirts on is embarrassing. Leicester till they lose

    The way he threw himself to the floor was unnatural...had he just hone down , he would have got the penalty.
    Remember Chris Martin away at Burnley?

    Is this the best you can do Rattea? It's so obvious that you have little conviction in many of your rants. Your 'light the touch paper and retire' style of posting is getting a tad predictable.
