Cheers. I doubt anyone outside the UK reads that stuff though, unless posted here.

You'd be surprised judging by their letters. Mostly ex-pats though, I guess.
End of the day Leicester are more than just Vardy. They've survived his injury, and recent dry spell ok, so i suspect they'll manage without him this time too.
Why?
Some fairytale.
Sh*t refs and moronic FA officials stepping in just at the right moment.

What part of this is anyone's fault other than his?
He has played 68+ minutes in every single league game (apart from yesterday).
just because , what reason do they need.
That surprises me if true, i could have sworn he had a spell missing. Still, i just can't see this Leicester team collapsing, they're too together as a unit.
The first yellow, probably the second yellow also was a 95/5 on the side of not tending to be a yellow most games and then being additionally charged for something every player every few minutes every week does and gets away with.
You'll hit me with a "just because players get away with x doesn't make it right", to which I will say referees and the FA should show consistency from the start of the season so we don't end up with moments right at the business end spoiling the greatest season in football history.
And don't say players did know the risks from the very start and by playing the rules up until now can't complain that only now the chickens come home to roost, as everyone knows that part of sport is playing the rules to the best that you can to gain an advantage; if you don't go to the ground when touched in the penalty area, or stay down when someone on a yellow card goes into the back of you then you are a sucker.
Common sense says right now they should just let it ride.
Hope he gets banned.
I like Ranairi a lot but, no time for the rest of them.

A potential extended ban is good news for our game against them, might just make the difference. We need all the help we can get to make top 4! Very small chance!
Same here. I particularly hate the racist, goblin faced bastard.
According to Dermot Gallagher on Sky this morning, the ref took him to one side after he'd made two shit tackles, prior to the one he was booked for. The only thing the ref got wrong about the first yellow was not making a bigger scene about talking to Vardy when he did so everybody could see it happening.

Part of me wants Ranairi to win it, the other part of me hopes they falter and shit themselves. feck them
I realise I'll sound bitter here and the vast majority won't agree with me but, the only fairytale I'm interested in is the ones in which involved Manchester United
But I assume you would be far happier to see them win it then arse or city?
What a fecking idiot.
I think that's a fair way to look at it.
I'm in the same boat, as I would love to see them win just for Ranairi. But seeing Vardy hoisting the trophy would be too much. And it would be amusing if they manage to collapse between now and the end of the season, although I think it's highly unlikely.
Nope, the first one was after he'd been told already to knock it off, totally fair yellow. The second was a clear and obvious dive and one of the most justifiable yellows possible. Not to mention that he knew he was on a yellow and still took the bizarre decision to slow down from a possible goal scoring opportunity to cheat and try to get a penalty, possibly also getting another player wrongly sent off.
The sending off was entirely correct and entirely his own fault.
Yes referees should be more consistent, but in getting things right like this not getting things wrong. Too many dives are waved away, more action like this will see it soon stop, same as with giving the ref verbal abuse, it doesn't happen in other sports, just start dishing out yellows left/right/centre and it'll stop within a week. Easy.
The contact was initiated by Vardy, he didn't 'feel' jack shit, he created it. He's the sucker for diving.
Far from it.
Oh yeah of course. That's a certainty.
But, I would rather have anyone win it over Liverpool. City are like an annoying pimple on your arse. Liverpool are like the fecking shingles
Players abuse referees all the time. Rooney has sworn more times at referees than he's scored goals.
Ridiculous to make it a 3 game ban. One game is adequate.

It's his own fault he got sent off. The stupidist thing I've seen any player do this season, and this is coming from a United fan who watched Blind deliberately kick the ball into his own net earlier this season before checking whether the referee had actually blown to stop the game.
I don't get why he's been charged additionally though. I mean it'd make sense if players didn't abuse referees every five minutes and get away with it, every single week. Seems deliberately selective. Earlier in te same game Noble launched a massive tirade at the ref after being correctly booked. He was still at it a minute or so after the game restarted...so the rules completely changed sometime between this and Vardy's dive barely an hour later? Or you're only not allowed to swear at the ref after you've been sent off?
Why even have rules if you just deliberately pick and choose who they apply to and when?

They should follow the same example that they set when Rooney was banned for swearing at the camera's. Vardy's behaviour doesn't bode well with budding young players who see him as a new age icon.
He pointed in his face, got very aggressive and allegedly called him a 'fecking cnut', its very clearly abuse and deserves additional ban, stuff like that is being watched by kids who then assume its an acceptable way to act when the referee catches you cheating and it really isn't, the referees should be treated with respect regardless of how much of a shocker they are having, and Moss' shocker hadn't started yet.
New age doesn't mean new.
Parents have failed if they let their children look at footballers as role models. Admire their skill or talent by all means, but never let your child think that these are good people. 90% of them are cocky, ignorant twats who don't know how good they have it.
I think he's one of those characters that I don't like, but would probably like a lot if he was on our side.
Not that I want us to sign him. I don't.

I have feeling Stoke are gonna hand them a massive title boost tonight anyway.
But if Spurs win, this could be the start of the collapse.

@ "Chat shit Get banned". A gift from the Gods.
I think he missed an FA Cup game in January.
Yes, and I have no problem banning players when they do this...but it's blatantly selective. Chasing after a referee swearing at them is no better (Noble). It happens all the time with players in the referee's face. Or even the linesman...several times recently I remember players running specifically to the linesman to basically square him up. Yet Vardy is the only one getting banned, mysteriously shortly after an artile emerges saying he'll be banned for it.
Someone will do it next week almost exactly the same and there'll be no ban.
I love how you've been letting West Ham and especially Noble away with nothing this week
voicing a lot of my opinions very entertainingly Mahrez must step up now.
Yeah hes been basically deadwood for my fantasy footy team for a month now.
Spurs at 3/1 to win the league looks a bit tempting if he gets banned.
This is an absolutely absurd take on things.
Firstly the first yellow was a yellow all day, especially on accumulation.
Secondly, the dive was an outrageous attempt at cheating, up there with the silliest dives this season, look at the height of the leap!
Thirdly, the level of dissent is way beyond anything I've seen for a long time, right In the ref's face, worst language imaginable.
A certain extra game ban. Not even a slight surprise the FA instantly brought this charge.
Still want Leicester to win it, but it's painful seeing such a wretch like him on the threshold of glory.
On top of that something doesn't feel right about his rise from average lower league player, to middling Premier league striker, to one bossing the top flight.
If this was athletics, I know what I'd think, let's put it that way.
''other people do it'' ain't ever a convincing or successful justification / defence is it?
deserved his red card, 3 games seems harsh but he was pointing & aggressive to the ref & they (FA) don't like that kind of thing

They're a bunch of bellends to be fair. I didn't enjoy either of their "performances" against us in the cup. There was more focus on acting like twats than there was on playing football, and it was the same against Leicester from what I saw.I love how you've been letting West Ham and especially Noble away with nothing this week
To be fair on Noble though I only picked him out as an example from the same game. Numerous players every week do the same. Particularly the brainless ones.
Ranieri. Are you guys repeatedly spelling it wrong for some in joke?!
He looks a bit skinny to be on the juice?
