I know I should grow up and that, but when you can't shake the feeling you've been cheated it's hard to let go innit? |  |

Argh, I'd just rather not talk about it |  | | |

Haven't changed my opinion on the underlying reasons for the shocking officiating though.
That was the most angry I've ever been at PR in four decades. There have been other times of course, when we have capitulated, especially recently e.g. in Champ relegation season (think Millwall was one such feeble effort), but this is a whole different beast cos it's totally beyond our control and it really stinks. Yeh sure, we have ourselves to blame for not taking chances AND making ridiculous errors. However that's two games in a row with soft second yellows, that can't be reviewed. It feels that the powers that be are desperate to penalise us and help the oppo.
Yeh I'm biased, and probably quite blinkered, but there we go. |  |

Yes, but not as angry as the day after Charlton 4 Ipswich 4 |
Which I still refuse to watch even now...
Horrible way to be denied yet again, what is it about bloody injury time and goals, it's like teams are playing for it now, the refs loving the control they have, kind of agree with frimmers though in terms of not getting that second goal, it's crucial, we're just not doing it in front of goal at home and that's a worry, you also have zero luck too when you're at the bottom ... |  | | |

I see many if you have started to sound like Rangers/Liverpool fans already. There is no corruption or conspiracy, we aren’t important enough for that. |  |

yes, going to take a long time to calm down I think
and the worst thing is we're undoubtedly going to get the same ref allocated to another game this season |  | | |

I’m still b angry. McKenna said that the ref put himself at the centre. I think he did and anyone who thinks yesterday was fair and right should take it up with KM.
Leicester are an established PL club. They’ve won the thing. Walnut features Cooper is an experienced PL manager and isn’t slow in coming forward. An angry man if ever there was one. Leicester have got away with blue murder on the financial front. No, they are not the big boys, but as credible fodder that bore of the century wingnut Lineker can offer a nod, a wink and nauseating grin about, they help legitimise the PL ‘package’. And that’s the point. It’s a money machine product more than a sport.
We deserve to be where we are. We are not very good. But we didn’t deserve what happened yesterday which for me challenged the point of the game for the first time probably since Shergar face Van Nistelrooy cheated United to three points here 22 years ago. |  | | |

I’m still furious. I still can’t get my head around either awful decision. Maybe we’re just not welcome in the big boys club? Two weeks running we’ve been stitched up royally. |  | | |

I am more annoyed if anything. Maybe we miss the penalty and Leicester come roaring back, who knows, but we were in control of a vital game against a relegation rival, in a season where we have very little headroom if any. The counter-argument, 'be better, score more and you wouldn't need to worry about the officials', doesn't wash with me because we are at the standard we are, which was looking plenty good enough for 3 points at the time. If we were creating and scoring more each game then we wouldn't be in our situation! We deserved the excellent opportunity to move 2 points further clear of Wolves yesterday and 3 points closer to Leicester, before the red card transformed our prospects from 80/20 to 50/50.
On the penalty, what galls me most is the inconsistency we've suffered so far. How did they deem it right to interfere in the Jack Clarke decision against Everton but not the Chaplin decision yesterday? One was the greyest of grey and the other is blindingly obvious, how can anyone conclude Chaplin and Fatawu just ran into each other? I've been outspoken in agreeing with opposition perspectives on contentious incidents in the past, from Hutchinson's pen claim against Huddersfield to Edmundson's last-ditch challenge against Plymouth, so I'm not one to always believe we're in the right. I didn't have a problem with VAR intervening in the Brentford game to show Harry's foul continued into the box, as I understood that incident to be a penalty in accordance with the rules. The Man City, Everton and Leicester incidents combined however make no sense to me. | | | |

Watched it back like everyone else and really can't fathom how VAR hasn't kicked in to ask ref to review. I assume Ashton will ask for a full explanation as to how that can be judged a fair challenge if he's allowed to do so |
I still can’t understand why it wasn’t a penalty. |  |

Is a penalty not a very very good chance of scoring that 2nd goal?.... btw what's the xg of a penalty? Not that I really care! |
it depends on the exact model used but I think its usually considered about 0.8xg |  | | |

Indisputable. Look at the EPL’s owners now, branding, marketing, TV rights.
The only positive gain since the 1980s has been in better player welfare; otherwise beam me back to those muddy pitch days please. | |

Not angry because if we scored 2 goals then one issue wouldn't have mattered. |

There is no conspiracy or cheating. The ref made a mistake just like Morsy made a mistake. A tragic symptom of success is this sort of nonsense. | |

Yeh, I don't disagree on one level. Soft corruption though, dear boy. Calling it out. | |

Missed chances and rash decisions by senior players turned what should have been an almost comfortable win into a draw. However, we are right to feel aggrieved at the lack of competence in officiating. The PL and PGMOL should be concerned that a technology designed to increase consistency and fairness has been so badly implemented that it has had the opposite effect. It is increasingly obvious that much more work is needed to train referees to operate at a higher, more consistent level. We are not suffering from corruption, just very poor performance of match officials. | | | |

If it had been officiated correctly we probably would have scored 2 goals. | | | |
