Leicester City charged as appeal timeline confirmed
 

Leicester City have been charged by the Football Association for their players’ conduct during the 2-1 defeat to Aston Villa. The FA allege City “failed to ensure its players did not behave in an improper way” during their appeals for a penalty in added time.

 

In the 93rd minute, Jamie Vardy looked to latch onto Harry Winks’ chipped free-kick, but Youri Tielemans stretched to clear, bringing Vardy down in the process. Tielemans made clear contact with the ball, but went through the back of Vardy at the same time.

 

City players surrounded referee David Coote to argue their case, but the official was unmoved. For his protests, Winks was booked. Now, they’ve been charged over their players’ conduct and have until Thursday, September 5 to give a response.

 

By added time, City frustrations had mounted. The decision to award a free-kick against Oli Skipp for a tackle on Ollie Watkins, and then led to Villa’s opening goal, caused ire, as did a second-half incident where Vardy put the ball in the net after the whistle had blown, with Coote calling play back because the ball had flicked off his heel during the build-up.

 

If City do not appeal and the charge is upheld, a fine is the likely punishment. The severity of the fine depends on the severity of the incident, but Manchester City were £120,000 back in December for admitting the same offence.

FA continues to embarrass itself by protecting something in dire need of being called out!

[AKCJ]

At the time I thought that this was given as offside against Vardy but on the BSLB podcast they said it was given as a throw in to Villa? Is this right?

 

I've not seen it back yet.

What will that d****** be fined or being a s*** ref?

That's what the argument was; it's either a pen or a throw-in to us... how on earth they can come up with a throw-in to Villa, god only knows.

I swear the referee did give it though. Proper weird one.

No that was a few minutes later.

 

In fairness, this wasn’t a pen. But as stated, it should have therefore been a throw in to us. The REFs are proper shite and it goes without notice by the FA every week. Sick of it.

The ball can be won by the defender and then ricochet off the attacking player for a defensive thrown-in. No idea if that's what happened here as I haven't seen a conclusive replay, but the argument you mention is a fallacious one.

Coonte must have whined about it in his match report, the hopeless Coonte.

I think there are two separate incidents.

 

The Vardy/Tielemens one on the edge of the box - on field decision was no penalty

 

Few minutes later Vardy brought down in the box, ref pointed to the spot but the flag was up for offside

 

[StanSP]

Expect several charges of this kind to be dished out across the season, sometimes more than once in a game week then...

Isn't that something to do with willies?

[Wymsey]

Am a bit disappointed that the PL decided to get a Nottinghamshire-based referee involved.

If Winks was carded for moaning then surely it was dealt with on the field. 

 

It was hardly the worst behaviours from players after contentious decisions, they had a moan at the ref, one got carded then it went on. There wasn't even much moaning after full-time.

Thought this was going to be about Wilf fingerblasting McGinn!

That didn't happen. Tielemans got the ball and kicked it out. It didn't hit Vardy.

Fair enough, I said I didn't know if that had happened or not. Just find the argument that people always seem to make ('either a Leicester throw or a pen') a bit annoying as it is clearly not true.

[st albans fox]

how annoying for the club to have to fork out £100k+ for effectively disputing a throw in.  the penalty - there is no point crying that much for a pen because the VAR will intervene if its that bad a call not to give it. 

 

i get that the players are totally pissed off by then because they feel like they've been sawn off several times already.  at this time i'll give cooper rope on the basis that he's trying to build a siege mentality.    but i'm not convinced that he isn't just a moaner and i cant see where that actually gets us.

Game's gone

[HitchinFox]

So the charge is for "failing to ensure their players did not behave in an improper way".

Luckily, the FA's 'jurisdicktion' doesn't extend to La Manga or Thailand. 

 

[katieakita]

Well as long as they take into account the inept refereeing dispaly. Clueless and useless. All well and good pointing the finger at us but his shambolic display brings the game far more into disrepute

[FoxFossil]

Charge has got more double negatives in it than a Cooper midfield.

Tielemans did play both man and ball . Anywhere else on the pitch it’s a foul for a reckless challenge.

[adejo92]

The F.A can serve up that absolute dross of officiating week in week out and then punish teams for complaining about it.

 

Comical.
