There is definitely an abundance of leniency in pre-season games, and rightly so, as the majority of them is played in the right spirit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamble92 Posted 4 August 2021 Share Posted 4 August 2021 Whats the point even having a ref then for friendlies? Might as well let Brendan run round for 90 minutes like when your school team had your own PE teacher for crap home matches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - I mean if you wanna treat yellows as only fouls, that's one thing but a red is a red and if some dumbass is doing something like that they should be ejected and also pilloried for doing something worthy of that in a friendly.

I actually felt sorry for him when he stayed down thinking we had jumped the gun on taking the piss and be might actually be injured. Instantly turned to disgust after the tackle on Wes, who we all knew was really hurt as soon as he went down... Anyway yeah, cynical challenge by him. .....you noticed the big difference....when Nino went down he was rolling all over the place, holding his leg!!! When Fofana went down he stayed still, motionless, probably in shock, you can tell the fake injuries a mile off, when your hurt, you are hurt and do not resort to theatrics. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They would have the power to ban him for a length of time and the matter would be resolved this way. At present I am not sure the referee will bring this to anyone's attention except to report that a player was injured and stretchered off the pitch. There is I believe, a possibility of retrospective action being taken and a ban being implemented, but that is a maybe, if there is a big enough outcry, I suspect the F.A would have to address this issue. nb. Leicester Tigers do not Cite other teams players. Edited 5 August 2021 by sacreblueits442 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just look at his face once the ref was over him. It was all just an act to get the refs attention. Plus do people really roll about like that when actually hurt? Not in my experience. The whole business is absolutely disgusting! He 100% meant it and should be paying for Fafana's medical bills and wages. Lets not forget, that could have ended the lads career. Bad judgement, bad timing, mistakes etc are all part of the game. But going in to hurt somebody, just not acceptable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jattdogg Posted 5 August 2021 Share Posted 5 August 2021 Imagine if we could have unretired morgan and sent the big lad on for some defensive reinforcement exercises. This lad will get his own one day. Wish Fofana a speedy recovery. You will come back will a lot to show the world! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STUHILL Posted 5 August 2021 Share Posted 5 August 2021 Warning*. This shows the injury in slow mo so only watch if you aren't squeamish. Otherwise it's a doctor giving his early assessment for anyone interested. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=C5azfIKsAjc&t=71s 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OntarioFox Posted 5 August 2021 Share Posted 5 August 2021 The only silver lining I can see from any of this is that Benkovic might finally get his chance for us. He's had regular minutes this pre-season and looked alright. Get well soon, Li'l Wes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
