Exactly what the league wants, title race back on. Clearly been robbed here. Referee has been so inconsistent it's embarrassing. Has happened to us more than a couple of times this season as well. PL referees are paid good money in regards to the collegues elswhere arent they? And they can't even do the simplest thing of them all, being consistent. Its like the write a new rule book every now and then.

Not convinced that's a dive. Don't think it was a penalty either mind.

Clear dive, you don't go that high up in the air by a tackle or being tripped.

Well there's a difference between exaggerating contact and diving. I thought that there was a tangle of the legs and that, along with the pressure from the defender, put him off balance. Not saying it was a foul by Ogbonna either by the way, rather a fairly innocuous coming-together in the penalty box.

He caused the contact! It's diving if you throw your body into another person and fall over! :lol: Bunch of modern day football mugs.

He hardly 'throws' his body into Ogbonna. He plants his foot in between the defender's legs and the ball and their momentum carries them over. Players put themselves in between the ball and the other player all the time. FWIW, I didn't say in my original post that it unequivocally wasn't a dive, but the incident's ambiguous enough to not warrant the yellow card imo.

 

The ball was on the other side :lol:

What? It's on Vardy's left side. Vardy plants his right foot into Ogbonna's path, thereby putting his body in between the defender and the ball.

Away from the direction of the ball, totally un natural and only done to try and con the referee into giving a penalty. Correct decision.

 

The defender didn't even try to make a tackle or even change his stride.

If you're attempting to shield the ball from the defender then you're naturally going to move from the direction of the ball. I'm not necessarily saying that this was Vardy was trying to do, but it's not a clear dive imo - and if there's sufficient room for doubt then play should be left to continue.

Considering the luck leicester have had with hand balls etc, I'd say it's deserved.

The referee has had a good game tbh.
