Can you imagine if it was Ashley Young that had done the same as that Vardy bloke yesterday?? He essentially threw himself into Rafael and looked to go down.
If it was Ashley Young, not only would we not get a penalty but he would be yellow carded and there would be a national debate and huge double page spread in the all the papers on the state of diving in UK football and how the FA need to have retrospective action. Would does Vardy get today?? a pat on the back and nothing said!!!
Ho hum..........what goes around comes around i guess.......
At least it dispells the myth that the big teams get all the decisions. Clattenburg let so much go yesterday it was unreal but it suited Leicester and not us. The new boys wouldnt have seen challenges go unpunished in any other european league so they have to learn fast.

It was since the media were hysterical about a decision he gave for us once, that he has been so bad for us. Same happened with Webb, the psychology of refs thinking that people might think they are giving everything to us, basically ends up as the reverse. Absolutely comical decision.

It was definitely a foul on Rafael but let it go ffs.
Perhaps you could spend your time creating articles bemoaning your clubs ineptness at addressing your horrific defensive issues?

Prattenburg is not biased in the slightest to any particular team. He's just a shiiiiite ref in general. He makes calamitous mistakes, like he did yesterday, fairly regularly.
He's got the highest red card rate and one of highest penalty rates too.
What he is though is the biggest homer in the world. Would he have given that Vardy penalty at OT? Not a chance.
Shocking ref.

Could imagine how far Vardy would have flown if he'd have tried to go shoulder to shoulder with Valencia?

Think you are missing Howard Webb and Mike Riley too much, they were always good for dodgy decisions in your favour.
Quite simply , both barges were fouls, but looked worse depending on the angle they were.viewed from. I did not see how bad Vardys was until i saw a different angle.Clattenburg was wrong.
But your defence, and team spirit let you down, not the ref.

Remind me who gave three penalties to an away team at Old Trafford little more than 6 months ago...

I don't care what angle the pen foul was viewed from. You're player moved towards Rafael and dived
At least we can admit it when our players dive like Young

We've missed him for about 4 or 5 years now
He's given us fack all in that time
We've been joking about Fergie selling him for the last few years on here You're a wee bit late
