One reason I think Vardy wasn't conning is that he's only looking at the ball, and seems to be attempting to change direction.

You can watch it in real time here, about twenty minutes in on the second half highlights tab. Seems a bit stubborn/petty by the ref, but if that's Bundesliga protocol then fair enough. According to my magic measuring tool, by the way, the foul was 15 yards outside the Dortmund penalty area...

Great result and performance from Leicester - but anyone think anything wrong with Huth's second? And what about Aguero's consolation? What is going on with so many easy offsides missed of late? PS Love Anthony Taylor's double advantage for the Mahrez goal. :-)

I'm totally with everyone - even though a Toffee - who says there's no way the AR can give it, and in the grand scheme of things - the way the two teams played, the decisions that went against City - it's all fine 'n' dandy. City deserved it. It's not that big a deal. And the Everton defenders...

Yellow for the keeper but issued a damn sight sooner. Yellow for the guy playing on (if you're the kind of ref who gives yellow for that kind of thing). A canister of mustard gas for the crowd.

Just watching highlights now here. I think... Mbemba handball - no pen. Lingard on Janmaat - foul and pen. Smalling on Mitrovic - great decision. Pen.

When they slide tackle shorts'll ride up and reveal what's underneath.

Would be interested to know what those who have captained sides think makes a good pre-match chat. Anything that isn't "in one ear and out the other"? Anything that helps/works? Cheers.

No one think it's fun to play in the mud? I quite like it myself. Good comedy. And it's better than sittin' at home doin' nowt. Still, some video evidence of mud being dangerous'll go a ways to changing my mind.

Good point. That too.

Well, hey, let's agree to disagree and each take our individual viewpoints into the games we do. Personally, I can't see anything in Law that warrants more than a red for the original offence, but if you can then I'm okay with that. Props, by the way, to the ref in this clip: I reckon it's the...

Ice hockey fights make a joke of the sport; this is barely purses, never mind handbags. Your mate gets whalloped like that, it's probably a reasonable response for a bunch of pumped-up footballers. It dies down pretty much immediately. As the ref I'd've been happy it ended where it did.

Ditto that. Doesn't appear to be anything untoward in the rest of it.

You mean, if he sees it and doesn't like it? How about this: he can order a retake for encroachment. And if they don't score the second time, he can order another retake for encroachment.

Well, it is still pre-MOTD time... Anyway, here it is: Very poor indeed.

Tough call to give a penalty in a situation like that. Probably gotta be a challenge that's "more than careless," if you know what I mean, and this one doesn't sound that bad, as you say it looked like he should get there first.

I don't understand why the top brass made them play in white. What was wrong with the blue kit? Or is it a case of home is strictly home, etc?

And, wow, some real mind-expanding links on that site. I've been missing out. ;)

9/10. Didn't know the ref. Was good to see the percentage who went for each answer. Illuminates a little more on what we're dealing with. :)
