Good save that actually. Correct decision not to penalise a save of that quality.
It would be understandable if he was running the line in a Sunday league game but ......
In slow motion it does look a penalty but in real time Bamba is barely 2 yards away when Vardy hits it. You’ve got no chance of moving your arm out of the way when the ball is moving that quickly from close range. Ball to hand imo
Also missed by that lino (alrhough difficult to see) was a Leicester player putting the ball out for a corner using his arm, whilst in the penalty area. Front of 106 had a good view and shouted for a penalty. This was a deliberate handball unlike Bamba's ball to hand/let's surround the ref/try and get a penalty that wasn't incident. A pity Leicester players took to gamesmanship like this to try and influence the outcome. MotD only showed one Leicester player rolling round trying to get a foul that wasn't. Must have been at least 6 times that happened. Little went our way in return so no wonder the ref was booed off.
Yes. That irony isn't lost on me. Grey day, grey kit, Grey scored.
If I hadn’t been so annoyed at that I’d have pissed myself laughing. He was like a kid playing a Saturday morning game, off the pitch, can’t come back on until he’s waved back on, ball comes near him & he can’t help himself running on to get it, Premier League officials???? You’re having a laugh!!!!!!!!
I’d just assumed I’d missed the signal, if he hadn’t been waived on then that was worse. I just thought it was unfair that the ref let him on when the ball was right by him.
One thing I would say in the refs defence is that it must have been very difficult for him on Saturday, with Leicester’s players taking liberties and him not wanting to be the bad guy
1. He did wave him back on- it was just a millisecond before he kicked the ball.
2. If his aim from Saturday was to not end up looking the bad guy he well and truly ballsed that up- what with the bamba handball and then booking grey for his tribute- something which hit the headlines everywhere.
3. Leicester were professional yes- but it was all within the laws and he gave us 8 minutes of time added on in total so not much more he could do. We need to wise up. However we could still be playing and we wouldn’t have scored.
I didn't have a problem with the shirts during the game despite having rubbish eyes but when I watched the Bamba incident back to see if Vardy was offside I was sure he was ok because there were two defenders back. It took me a couple of looks to realise that the one who was not involved in the play was a Leicester player. Maybe this is what confused the linesman too, his logic told him it was a defender and there wasn't enough contrast in the shirts for his peripheral vision to pick it up? It was such an obvious offside otherwise.
