Coming to the end of the season, title at risk of being wrapped up early and a bit of an Anti-climatic end to the season, then suddenly a ref sends Vardy off, gives a penalty at the other end for less contact and then doesn''t give it at the other end for an identical offence?I''m believing more by the day that it''s fixed/corrupt.

Making Plans 936 Posted April 17, 2016 And now the ref has evened it up by giving Leicester a really soft penalty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JF 694 Posted April 17, 2016 Wow! Amazing the way the decisions go when you''re at the top and bottom. That Leicester penalty was far less than the challenge on Jarvis in the palace match and 2 on Mbokani yesterday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted April 17, 2016 I''m not convinced it''s all luck. There has to be an element of the referees being scared of being the ref that spoils the fairy tail. 11 penalties this season now Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ricardo 7,340 Posted April 17, 2016 Vardy got away with it against us. Just shows how arbitrary these decisions are.From Cam''s disallowed goal against Palace we never got a break all season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JF 694 Posted April 17, 2016 Spot on. We have had far, far more dodgy decisions go against us than for us. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 668 Posted April 17, 2016 What a pathetic refereeing display from Jon Moss. So many inconsistent and plain wrong decisions.Vardys first booking was pathetic. The West Ham penalty was harsh but if you''re going to give it then you have to give a virtually identical fowl on Huth a few minutes later. Then the penalty he did give Leicester was nothing more than a coming together that shouldn''t have been given even in the middle of the park.I started to think he was bias but in the end I came to the conclusion he was plain useless!

Boris 56 Posted April 17, 2016 Vardy deserved that many times this season imo.He do that against Bassong and many more times this season.Leicester is team who received most penalty''s and Norwich is team conceded most penalty''s this season. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Indy 3,283 Posted April 17, 2016 How the hell can anyone want Leicester to win the league is beyond me, the slightest touch and they throw themselves over like an 1980 Italian international.How the hell an that penalty be awarded, talk about a ref succumbed to fan pressure!That''s 11 penalties if I heard right this season they''ve got I would love to review every one and see how many were justly awarded!Come on Spurs!

It is clear to me that refs can''t keep up with the pace of the game and their decisions are based on hunches and guesswork influenced by their conscious /subconscious bias usually favouring big clubs and big names. The game needs to be modernised as it is beyond a joke. Do away with penalties except for serious foul play. Introduce sin bins and video replays. I''m sick of all this. Teams work their socks off and plan strategies all week in preparation for a game which some idiot ref RUINS because he hasn''t got an effing clue what''s going on. Besides which, when the hell will Ruddy get even close to saving a pen? Sick of it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crabbycanary3 994 Posted April 17, 2016 Can someone please arrange a tete a tete between Jonathan Moss and Michael Oliver, so they can tell me what constitutes the award of a penalty, because not only are they on a different chapter, but a whole different book.

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted April 18, 2016 Ruddy''s had plenty of practice on pens this season.I felt the ref got the Vardy decision spot on. He''d made a bad tackle then the next one he got the card for and that is normally a card now. Then tunning into the box he deliberately moved across and got his legs tangled with the defender, a clear attempt to fake a pen. So well done the ref for finally penalising him.He''d also clearly seen leicedter do a lot of holding from corners and gave a decision which it followed consistently would be given every game, so that''s tough to call.At the end he didn''t give a pen for a much worse foul on Huth and then panicked and gave the dubious pen straight after.People say that we don''t get pens because we don''t get men in the box running at defenders enough but that doesn''t explain why Mbokani could be fouled repeatedly , in and out the box, and have few fouls given and no pens, whereas Defoe seemed to get fouls for less contact often given.I think there is a subconscious or institutional bias against City (probably against some other clubs who aren''t established in the Prem too but I don''t see enough of their games to say - but in any case, not the teams who are our immediate rivals now). To overcome it we''d have to stay in the Prem long enough to change it, which now seems unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Van wink 2,994 Posted April 18, 2016 Institutional bias, I like that one, a bit like the Met police and racism.I''m not sure I would use that phrase but I see where your going ICF, maybe it''s more a subconscious knowledge by the ref that his decisions won''t get the same level of scrutiny as they would with bigger teams, as has been said many times already.But coming back to the institutional bit, if this is the he case then I believe the way the police are trying to overcome this is by positive action. Positive discrimination some I think would call it, for us it may mean refs always giving us the benefit of the doubt and refs having special training in positive Norwichism.I think you may be on to something here🤔 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I thought he had a terrible game and got big decisions wrong for both sides. The one I think he did get right was the dive for which Vardy did get booked for.Sorry cant do links but this looks like a fair summary to me.http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36068462 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
