Are you ****ing stupid?

 

Palmer got the ball first and was clear when he got the ball however the follow through was reckless and dangerous with studs up above the knee.

 

That's means the initial challenge was clean however the follow through was dangerous therefore a red card.

 

 

Right, so its dangerous and therefore is a foul and therefore is a penalty.

Erm... Am I stupid?

 

So you still think that a defender player can receive a red card in their own penalty area without conceding a penalty?

 

Think very, very, very carefully before you answer.

Incidentally Callum O’Hare looks a decent player.

Cov despise us… we don’t generally care about them… let them have their ‘day in the sun’; also as a poster said “We’ve had so much more to cheer about than them”.

Yeah, he was essentially the difference between the two sides. Proper livewire

[Mendi]

Shocking result.

[Paninistickers]

I can't work out if it feels worse to have a game spoiled when had absolutely everything going to plan .....or if I'd be more annoyed if we'd have thrown it away second half in a normal 11v11

 

Either way, it feels shite - and feels as if the Cov public have been short changed but not seeing one of our masterclasses!

With an awful haircut. His mum needs to put the bowl away not he's a professional

I thought he assumed Abdul’s was a red and we shouldn’t have a penalty, but I thought wrong… it was even more ridiculous than that

Wouldn't be surprised if many supporters would want someone like him at LCFC, despite his antics, given his quality.

So...

 

Let me get this straight...

 

You believe a defender can get a red card in their own penalty area without conceding a penalty?

 

Technically it is possible 🤣 a defender could throw a punch at an attacker when a corner is waiting to be taken.  Red in the area, no pen 🤣

[Ted Maul]

That's on Abdul, unfortunately. Just get to half time and don't give the useless twat with the whistle an excuse to flap it.

 

Can't fault the effort second half though, they didn't fold, scrapped for it and weren't far off getting something. Not a lot you can do with 10 men sometimes.

I just don’t see how you can get that from watching us. Cov had the better of the game and the ball for the first 20 mins and we didn’t fold, dramatically or otherwise.

We didnt fold in the first 20 minutes because Coventry aren't very good. The difference is we just folded later than if it was a Premier League quality team applying that pressure.

He wasn’t sent off because of the double jeopardy rule - we got the pen instead.

Pretty sure that applies to denying a goalscoring opportunity, not dangerous play? Might be wrong on that, but that was my understanding of that rule. If you punched someone in the box and a penalty was given, they'd still be sent off. A thigh high tackle, winning the ball or not, should be a red.

[jonny_wright]

Everything that could go wrong did go wrong 

[Joe_1992]

11v11 we win it’s as simple as that

He does, has good ability. 

He'll be off from Cov in the summer, his interview basically admits it

Been to and/or watched us on TV all season. Missed 2 games I think

 

Notoriously slow in first half but today I felt we were off it. Was never going to be easy with it being their cup final, but we were extra sloppy with keeping the ball and positionally defensively.

 

Went one up and had to get to half time, then I felt the usual second half battering was coming on outside. 

 

Abdul messed up.. young and it happens

 

Enzo got his tactics wrong 

 

I do however feel its on the ref too   he was terrible. He thought he'd evened up the pen by putting us a man down.. how palmer who must've committed 5 fouls in the second half stayed on the pitch until subbed I don't know.

 

When they subbed him I said to my son, that's our opportunity to even the numbers up gone.

 

What frustrated me wasn't necessarily the loss given the circumstances  it was how we lost.

 

We made challenges all game, but for the equaliser we just backed off and then after that gave up 

 

That being said we'll still be at least 10 clear of third so we're entitled to a sh1t show.. hopefully it's just the one

I find it hard to belive you can take that stance and watch us play. The first half was almost vintage us under maresca. All about the possession, overload one side and switch it letting Coventry do little sprints all over the place. We do it every single game. It was as normal as it could possibly be.

Still flying high at the top regardless but we’re a pretty grim watch for long periods of matches which can be baffling given our squad.

 

Still waiting for that season defining statement win.

 

Enzo got it wrong second half, we still need outlets and still need to push up but can’t complain to much when you look at the table

Genuinely wouldn't be against it.

He's free in the summer, with Vardy on the way out we need another little shit on the pitch

You said we fold just as dramatically as last season, when we clearly don’t. Now you’re making excuses for the quality of the opposition and ignoring the fact we played for so long with 10.

 

We have the best defence in the league.

Dude, it’s the SAME tackle. You get a red in the box while making a tackle and it’s a pen - regardless of where the ball ended up

Totally agree. It was a textbook 'going to plan' performance as could've possibly have been. In fact, even at  0-0 on 40 mins I was relishing the second half, such was the control we had
