2 penalties and 2 red cards against Forest, neither of which actually were.

 

And Darlow fucking saved them both :lol:

 

Their equaliser in that game was also offside. And Clark had a goal to make it 0-2(?) to us disallowed for nothing.

 

Don't forget Forest in the cup this season. The "non" Perez pen  :lol: :lol:

Forgot about that Forest game! I was livid. What is wrong with these refs? Who do they hire?

Do you guys remember the bizarro world of the Championship? Which game was it where not only the rules of football, but the physical universe ceased to apply? It was something to do with a free-kick or red card or a penalty, and all of us were like, how is this happening? Please refresh my memory. No wonder Rafa thinks nobody in England understands the laws :lol:

 

We got a penalty, we took it but there was encroachment meaning it should have been retaken, the ref Keith Stroud gave a free kick to the opposition instead, not even understanding a basic law of the game, and at no stage did either lino or 4th official say anything.

 

Bizarre at the time and still is now.

Ref also forgot to add on proper injury time after that incident :lol:

Mark Douglas and other local journalists don't seem particularly optimistic regarding Benitez signing a new contract. Club just won't even try and meet him halfway with his demands. Infrastructure and academy reform shouldn't even be questioned regardless who the manager is.

Knew it as soon as he’s set this 6 week deadline. f***ing cretin.

 

I think that was debunked by Lee Ryder.

 

All they have to do is give him a decent budget in the summer, work quicker on transfers and put a bit of money in the training ground and academy and he will stay. However, the club has this arrogance and delusion that they have it all figured out and their way works despite two relegations and multiple relegations battles in the Ashley era.

Remember some blatant penalties we didn't get in that game.  Ciaran Clark being manhandled on the goal line was one that stands out.

By now he must know that he'll never be allowed to achieve anything significant under Ashley. So he either has to change his expectations or leave. He might be prepared to stay just because he likes the place and wants a job in the north of England.

 

It is a little unfair on us but he has a job to do.

I sadly think he's nailed on to be Leicester manager next season - he'll do very well with that squad and with an ambitious owner

It's clear that nothing will be sorted either way until our survival is secured.

 

If we were relegated, Rafa wouldn't stay anyway and without our premiership future confirmed Charnley won't know how much money we have to (not) promise to Rafa.

 

If we stay up and the club pitch something reasonable to Rafa, it's possible me he will stay. He loves the club and he's done so much work, he will give them every chance to prove themselves.
