Class cross by Demarai Gray and class header by Ulloa. These types of goals are hard to come by these days.

Noble puts W.Ham 1-0 ahead of Hull. Lots of chances but until then no one actually bothered to finish a move

We've got young, exciting players on the bench that could come on and be perfect on the counter but Hughes sits on his hands and does nothing.

If this is a red then every game will have 3 or 4 red cards minimum. Granted it's two footed but he wins the balls and it isn't showing studs.

By the way this game is going Leicester might end the game with 8 men.
I'm not sure how some people seem to think it's even debatable. Just seen it for the first time and drew a sharp intake of breath. He literally 'jumped' into the tackle, not in control and studs up. Red Card every day of the week for the next 100 years.

His studs were down when he made contact. It was less dangerous than Rojo's challenges

Impressive to come back from 2-0, away from home, with ten men...

What a sexy cross by Fuchs! And perfectly timed jump and header by Amartey. They have dug in deep, did Leicester. Never threw in the towel.

Vardy should give a week's wage to the coach and the team. And totally delighted that Stoke are getting done by 10 men

Impressive on Leicester's part but it's also largely due to their opponents manager being a fecking moron.

bollocks if the same ref doesn't miss Rojo's leg breaker in the week Vardy doesn't get sent off, this is the sort of scrappy fight of a game that can really get players fired up so it may well have done us a favour in the long run. But we need to find room in the team for Demmy Gray.

That said Huth, Fuchs and Vardy all banned boxing day.

Wes Morgan has signed a sponsorship deal with Captain Morgan:
Morgan shared a snap of the contract on his Twitter page, confirming that he is permitted to purchase a 'Captain and Cola' for all patrons in a licensed premised, as long as he "extends his arms to form the shape of a 'Y' and shouts, 'there's only one captain Morgan!'"
:lol:

Noggie TV making a meal out of Pawson not giving a red to Rojo for a two footer when he just gave Vardy one.

You just know Rojo will be reffed harsly in the upcoming matches.

Taking the next corner instead of Jones!
get pushed in the back as you are about to make a slide tackle and see what happens
… or launch yourself into the air and then extend your legs into the other player (as it appeared in the shot I saw).

Maybe you've seen more angles and slo-mo than I have so I'll reserve judgement, but … I notice you are a Leicester fan so I kinda understand you "jumping to his defence" (see what I did there) although I must say that I have no loyalties to Rojo when the red mist comes down and he does something equally stupid and dangerous. And I would never try to defend the indefensible.

he got a shove in the back just as he challenges which causes the loss of control,there is no way that would have been a red had the very same ref had not missed Rojo's red in the week

You won't get an argument from anyone here regarding Rojo's horrific challenge. Every Caf member thinks it's a red but that doesn't absolve Vardy though.

Huth and Fuchs will be big misses

the point I'm making is Pawson missing Rojo is the reason Vardy got a red, had he got a yellow like almost every pundit I have seen say it should have been, no one would have complained.
The way we have defended this season Huth being out could be a blessing as it forces a change

Yep. A push in the back makes you jump into a tackle with both feet off the ground .. oh wait, no it doesn't.

Has anyone missed the fact that Stoke must be absolute gash to draw from 2-0 up against 10 men
