Post Match Southampton 2 Leicester 3

[bocadillo]

Nope they’ve done a good job of it

Whooosh!

 

[bocadillo]

Back to back wins is going to give the players confidence in spades

Perhaps an unfortunate turn-of-phrase in the modern era.

 

[Volpone]

MOTD was very enjoyable. My family have just had to suffer me raving about Fatawu for ten minutes.

(And yes So’ton should have had a pen)

No. VAR got it right and Shearer is wrong. The Saints player would never have got to the ball to influence the outcome in any way.

 

[Volpone]

For their first goal we switched off when the free kick was taken. Poor concentration.

Really? I wasn’t aware of the history?

Irrelevant. A foul is a foul wherever it happens.

There's no reason it can't be used.

It's a 1920s saying that comes from the game of Bridge, as the more spades you had, the more likely you were to win the game. According to Google at least.

 

[Funky Fox]

Fatawu has to start but by the performance by Mavididi he needs dropping.
Winks has to start too.
El Khannouss perhaps make way as otherwise he'll be roughed up by the players Perhaps come on 2nd half
Kristiansen needs dropping too JJ to move over with Ricky coming in at Right back moving forward to play the 3-4-3 on the offense he likes playing

 

[SimonW]

I don’t get the theory of not playing Fatawu because he has a lot to learn and needs coaching to improve and be able to play more. If we used that rationale for every player then most of them wouldn’t start. Why should Fatawu be the one singled out?

 

[jb5000]

Irrelevant. A foul is a foul wherever it happens.

Should be, but it has never been officiated like that in the penalty box (except for the big five (and Spurs))

Stupid hook nosed ****.

What does that have to do with anything?

It's as clear a penalty as ours was.

Get off the fence you hedging bastard and tell us what you really think.

It's not though is it. There is a small but hugely significant difference between the two incidents.

For Vardy, he was 100% stopped from scoring a goal. It was a simple tap in that he was denied by a pull on his shirt.

For the Southampton player, it is impossible to say whether he would have even got to the ball, let alone had an attempt on goal. My guess is he'd have not even got to the ball, the big lumbering donkey.

You’re talking about the difference between it being a sending off or not - I.e. denying a goal scoring opportunity

That bit of the conversation is completely irrelevant as to whether it’s a penalty or not for pulling the players shirt and committing a foul

And it was a penalty. They missed it. **** ‘em

I don't think it's a clear penalty. I really don't. Otherwise they'd be a penalty at every corner kick.

 

[H T B]

Let’s just say, we got away with one, there.

The ref didn’t think it was a significant shirt pull to award a penalty.
Surprises me, but we have to go with the ref’s decision

Neither did Brendan O'Carroll...

... apparently.
