Wow.
Did you not notice the West Ham player's left hand on Vardy's upper right arm in that picture?
What do you think it was doing there?
Did Vardy put it there and super glue it in place?
The defender tried to pull Vardy back. It was a foul and a penalty. The fact that Vardy then went into the West Ham player and went down is irrelevant, the foul had already taken place.
If you don't think it was a foul on Vardy, at what point do you think pulling someone back goes from being fair to being a foul, and can you show me that section in the laws of the game?
Of course I saw than hand on Vardy but that doesn't mean it's automatically a foul. As I've already said, there is similar contact all over the pitch all the time and it doesn't equal a foul. Unless you make the game contact free, you have to accept that a hand or whatever isn't a foul just because it is there. It is only a foul if that hand is sufficient to impede Vardy and it clearly wasn't. Whereas, the Drinkwater one was exactly the opposite, a hand designed to stop the player.
Using your rationale, the Morgan and Huth goals I referred to should have been disallowed. Do you agree?
