Match Thread Manchester City v Leicester

[Graz]

Oh ffs. That's a ****ing joke that that gets ruled out.

Assume that's the rules but surely should be a retake?!

 

[LoopisDeLupis]

What a bizarre turn of events. I've never seen that before.

 

[yackandandah]

That is fookin' harsh that decision.

The ref was right. You can't play the ball to yourself from a penalty. Even if it is accidental.

 

[Robin127]

Good call.

Why would it be retake ?

He touched it twice

 

[Jeff]

Gray replaces Albrighton

 

[Moose]

Right decision but would have been interesting to see if he had the balls to rule it out if it was a man city penalty. I suspect not.

 

[Robin127]

Leicester really do need a competent penalty taker.

 

[Graz]

He touched it twice

I have no real reason. It's just incredibly frustrating

 

[camberwell fox]

Leicester really do need a competent penalty taker.

He was unlucky because he slipped

Good point and why I don't like Madley.

There have been two tight calls for goals in this game and both have gone for Man City (correctly). Not a chance he'd have made the same decision for either if it was the other way round.

 

[homer]

Sums up Mahrez's day

He's been absolutely feckin woeful

 

[Graz]

Feel like Amartey has done a lot better with the ball since he's been in than King did

I have as well, and I'm sitting on the settee

 

[yackandandah]

Was it the right call though? What is the letter of the law? Did Mahrez 'play it to himself' or did the shot merely hit his other foot?

 

[Brown Nose]

We shouldn't be losing this game in a million years. Awful from us and none of our players have any responsibility for it.

Set up wrong. Set up to lose. Set up ineptly.

You can't touch it twice before the opposition touches it

Irrelevant. He hit it twice

 

[yackandandah]

Lovely foot work from Mahrez. That's what he does SO well.
