Interesting that Martin Tyler called Armstrong ‘a real Scot’ after previously mentioning Che Adams’ Scotland appearances.
Expect it to be ignored (and probably rightly given no malice was meant), however, given the social media blackout and attention Sky have given to taking the knee, would a similar comment have been acceptable if made against someone like John Barnes not being a proper Englishman?

9-0 mentioned again. Lazy journalism.

Waiting for him to talk about some strands of Islam believe in beheading infidels and shagging virgins. Seems to be going rogue talking about real jocks

They are the most boring, bland , featureless pair of front bums to ever get a commentary gig.

Did Martin Tyler say that Adams was called up to Scotland but Armstrong was a "real Scot"? 🤣

Yep, he’s a proper wacist

Exactly. My understanding is that the VAR looks at every red card. Why are people saying he didn’t. Chances are he did, and agreed with the ref (not saying that it’s right), just don’t understand where this “why didn’t they look at it” comes from.

Fed up with modern football now.

Sending off for getting the ball.

Stopping so someone can have a drink and a piece of fruit.

I have to go to work on a sunday....

Religious bull****

Jumpers for goalposts

Sliding tackles

Pissed players

Oh the days of the 1970s....

Muddy pitches....

We're looking better with ten men and no Ings than we did in the semi.

I was just thinking that.

We're playing really well considering we usually collapse when we lose a man early.

Salisu should have started. He looks good here today.

Agreed, but we all know that we'll collapse if/when Leicester get a first goal

Change of system,  be interesting to see what happens when their energy levels drop.

We've played well since the joke decision. Fair play to the team and manager for that. Probably should be 1-0 up given Tella's chance.

To me I feels like refs are briefed to go easy on some teams and hard on others. Take for instance the semi, Diallo was booked for his first rash challenge, fair enough, but then within about 10 minutes Leicester made 3 very similar rash challenges, one of them arguably worse than Diallo and no red. Jank had a rush of blood up at OT, a good ref would have acknowledged it was a bad challenge and a young lad full of adrenaline and just cautioned him.

It's like they want to use any excuse possible to punish certain teams with marginal offsides, penalties and, red cards.

Gob smacked that we have got to half time.... Guess it's only a matter of time 

We've done well. But yeah it's hard to see them keeping it up for another 45.

They've barely had a shot, we are defending very well.

Why don't referees penalise diving. Either Redmond has turned into a triple hard bastard or Leicester defenders are a bunch of wet fannies just like their midfield and strikers. Absolutely pathetic the way they continually go to ground

This. All VAR has done is given them a 2nd (and even more opaque) chance to ensure the required EPL Narrative/Script plays out.

I just think they are incompetent and ball-less, the lower less well supported clubs are soft targets

Credit where it’s due. Defensively we’ve been pretty solid since the Red card. 2 banks of 4 offering little to no space. 

obviously we have nothing going forward, but a draw would feel like a loss at the moment, I think. 

Leicester aren’t great, I’m surprised they’re where they are in the league.

And why would we be one of those teams? 
 

The only complaint I have is that they use clubs like us to break in inexperienced referees. That’s the issue here, not bias. He’s just a inexperienced  ref who made a mistake.

Good half that.

Ralph got that right after the red.

I agree. I’d still Have kept Tella on to offer us something going forward on the counter, but we’ve done alright.

I find it interesting that this referee is considered experienced enough for Premier League games but has never worked on a game featuring one of the franchise 6. 

That’s always been the way. Mike Riley’s first game was up at Leicester against Saints. MLT got set off for handballing a ball that was blasted at him from two yards.

They are trying too hard.
