Ref today

[stevelcfc]

Kante on another day gets 2 yellows but Chilwell lucky not to get a straight red for that tackle. Pure lack of experience and thought on his part. 

 

Can't complain too much, certainly been far worse performances in the last few months and there were no howlers like in the Watford V Saints game today.

All refs nowadays are far too eager to give yellow cards for bog standard fouls.

Ref didnt do anything particularly bad. Cant really argue with the red. Close thread imo

Can't argue with the second yellow, but the first one was a clear WTF moment.

[Jonezy]

I thought that it was harder for us to get a freekick in this game, but we can't really moan about the red card or the non-penalty for Mahrez. I have seen a lot worse reffing for sure.

[foxes_rule1978]

The ref wasn’t good at all seemed to give Chelsea a lot... the red was a poor decision as well

You think we had it bad, wait until you see the Watford Southampton highlights later!

No big club bias, just appalling officiating.

 

Just seen the handball. Roger East needs a lifetime ban for that.

I think people just want to see a bit of consistency. When referees allow certain players to get away with things that they book the opposition players for IN THE SAME GAME then people have every right to question them. I don't expect refs to be perfect (far from it) but Jones sends off Chilwell and when Kante could have had 3 or 4 bookings - that goes beyond just a 'mistake' for me.

This.

 

If Chilwell warranted 2 yellow cards so did Kante for numerous fouls, when Cahill gets injured he is in the process of pulling back Vardy, every 50 50 decision went against, Jones may not have had a bad game but he certainly did not have a good game.

[Manwell Pablo]

you know the minute a few "he wasn't that bad" posts start popping up some people are massively over reacting  

 

Still we got our point and played well, we are all going to have var interrupting the game every 2 minutes soon so that should  cut some of this out, or at least make it a little harder to go over the top about supposed dreadful refereeing displays.

Kante could have taken his boot off and broke Albrighton's nose and wouldn't have been sent off. 

 

Only plus side is he didnt book our obvious dives

Could he reach his nose?

[peterborofox]

Kante should have been off if we're being consistent. 

 

Wanted to keep booking our boys. Real twat

Been like this for 20 years or more though hasn't it.

All you want is consistency.

They ARE consistent - as far as favouring the big clubs is concerned.

 

What we want is fairness and justice.

[Father Ted]

Let's not forget that this is the same MORON who gave the 2 handball penalties away at Liverpool the other year. It is not big club bias but anti-Leicester bias. Same as Jon Moss, same as Bobby Madley. This holy trio should be nowhere near the football league.

He's the VAR ref for the Fleetwood game and Moss is in charge.

 

Expect world class refereeing from all involved. 

 

 

[5waller5]

I've been screaming at the TV all afternoon - Every single chance to give a foul against us and he took it, every clear foul was a yellow card.

 

And yet only very clear fouls got a free kick for us and no bookings for identical offences. Like someone else said Kante committed more fouls of a worse nature than Chilwell.

[Father Ted]

Also lets not forget this is what he wants! He wants his name branded around on forums. He loves it, they all do. 

[Webbo]

It's not unusual for the home team to benefit from refereeing decisions. We'll get some going our way on Tuesday and nobody will complain.

No they will just be moaning about the team selection.

[sm1]

You knew we were getting a red as soon as he gave Kante his yellow card. After that, every tackle we made was a yellow. The most bizarre being Shinjis.

Has big club bias ever been so evident?

 

Kante, 3 fouls before he gets a yellow with another after for good measure. And those are the ones the ref saw.

Bakayoko clear push in the back on a Mahrez, no yellow card.

Cristensen in the back of Vardy, no yellow card.

 

James first foul, yellow card. Shinji first foul, which wasn’t, yellow card. Chilwell first foul, which wasn’t, yellow card. Chilwell second foul, you’re off son.

 

Summats gone off.

A top6 ref

[Monk]

Ref was giving first yellows for deliberate fouls to stop a break. That’s why he booked Kante, Chilwell first and Okazaki. He was actually consistent in doing that. 

 

Kante’s second challenge was soft and didn’t warrant a yellow. 

 

Bens second he was over the ball and as one or two others have said I think some refs would have given a straight red. 

 

He also correctly picked up on up on many dives by both teams. Really didn’t think he was that bad. 

 

 

[Monsell1976]

Shit ref, inconsistency isn’t strong enough for some of these refs, but this **** always seems to save his shit performances for us, like the ball hitting Morgan in the face, hands nowhere near the ball, but gave a penalty at Liverpool the other year.

 Seeing though the clowns went professional, the standard hasn’t improved 

[dynamark]

You have to face it the likes of Kante and to an extent Pogba are very good at just doing enough to break up play without getting in serious bother Kante partly because he is just a little bloke and keeps a very even temperament.Its a skill in itself >Few of the Man City lads are good at it as is Mahrez finding a free kick when he knows he is down the blind alley.

Puel could have subbed Chilwell for Fuchs  and he always has that issue with going with his left side but he did have to make the challenge.no choice really but looked a bit off the deck.
