paultheroyal Simpson, never a penalty. Koemann making himself a right dick over that.

However pleased that schemichel agrees with me that ANY handball in the box should result in a penalty. Job done and take away the doubt.

As for Leicester. Amazing.


Schmeichel is also a tw@t!

hth


No, no it doesn't.

Ludicrous suggestion that would encourage players to blast the ball at defenders from close range in the hope of getting a penalty.

Take away the doubt by refs stopping giving shit decisions where it's clearly ball to hand and no intent.

Not sure of your point Paul. Any handball in the box is already a penalty.
If you mean that any contact between hand and ball should be a penalty then that is crazy. Why not extend that so that any contact between players is a pen (so the ref doesn't have to bother differentiating between a tackle and a trip).

At present the top seeds for next season's CL will be Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, PSG, Benfica, Dynamo Kiev, FC Rostov*, and Leicester City. I really want this to happen.

*Fwiw, FC Rostov are themselves 'doing a Leicester', going top of the Russian Premier League this week having finished 14th of 16 teams in 2014-15. The league is tighter though, they are only 4 points clear of Zenit in 4th.

Ah you mean the non Leicester rogue trader fans who no doubt support Chelsea trying to make a few quick bucks. Only one I saw sold was the rogue trader himself.

But yeah, good enough reason I suppose to see them mess up.

You have to understand that with everyone on here bar Frimmers wanting Leicester to win the league, Kes is having a difficult and lonely time of it.

Good article. Watching the game against Southampton, I was amazed at the sheer amount of hard miles Okazaki, Drinkwater and especially Kante put in. They ensure that whenever the opposition have the ball it is in front of them and make it impossible to play through them. Also noticeable the number of times that Leicester players clear crosses, but then they look absolutely devastating on the break. I love watching them.

I was about to LOL at some woman holding up a champions scarf on the MOTD footage when I noticed the date on it was for when they won the Championship.
