I agree with 3. He got an easy ride in the Premiership. Leicester as a whole were refereed leniently. It happens, doesn't mean you have to bury your head in the sand. funny how this "Leniency" wasn't mentioned until last season despite them receiving almost exactly the same number of cards in the preceding season eh? then again, i suppose it just wouldn't like any kind of conspiracy at all then would it, merely just backup that Leicester actually just aren't that dirty in general. one thing that staggers me though mate (and i'd appreciate it if you or malteser could help)...... don't you think it would actually be far more fair and sensible to level the "Leniency conspiracy" at a club who actually received over 30 LESS cards last season than the previous one? that seems far more weird and out of the ordinary to me, or do we not question it at all simply because that club was us????? Leicester receive almost exactly the same number of cards in 2 seasons in a row = FA cheated to let them win the league We receive 30 (yes, thirty!) fewer cards than the season before = Sssssh, keep quiet, nothing to see here!  any answers or explanations to that stat or will it just be conveniently ignored? surely if you're going to be consistent with your (ahem) "Logic" then you HAVE to extend the same thought process and there can be no other conclusion than Sir Pete's brown envelope for the FA and the refs is even bigger than Leicester's yeah? Leicester, and Kante were pretty thuggish last season, yet they got away with a lot. There's nothing wrong with pointing that out. |

3 yellows in as many games in Euro 16 3 in 37 games in the premier league Hey Malteser, have you responded to the points made last time you brought up this topic? Or are you just going to keep on mentioning it every time you post hoping that someone will jump to the conclusion that it is all a big conspiracy? Just to make it easy for Malteser I thought I'd copy MMLC's points here: no-one has said they are undeniable. it's not the facts people are disputing it's the conclusion you've drawn from them that are fucking garbage! as i mentioned earlier, Ronaldo hasn't scored from a direct free kick in nearly 40 attempts at major tournaments, does that therefore prove he's shit at free kicks??? After all, the stat is undeniable and objective so therefore i can use it to come to any conclusion i want yeah? last season Stoke were issued 56 cards (only 5 more than Leicester), the season before was 83. can we also therefore use that to back up the "Fact" that refs are giving us a helping hand as well (or does it only count when you're a bitter, twisted, tin foil hat wearing fuck nugget?) by the way, another undeniable, objective fact is that Leicester got 51 cards last year in total, the year before was 53....were the FA helping them out both years or just last year (where the grand total was only 2 different form the previous season)? you're using a 100%, completely false logic. you're just a complete fucking embarrassment really and very clearly, not very bright.

Hey Malteser, have you responded to the points made last time you brought up this topic? Or are you just going to keep on mentioning it every time you post hoping that someone will jump to the conclusion that it is all a big conspiracy? Here is my reply - Why has Kante got 3 yellow cards in 3 games in the Euros whereas he got the same amount of yellow cards - 3 - in 37 premier league matches last year ? Possible reasons - 1. Either he became a dirty tackler overnight, inexplicably transforming himself from a saint-like figure between August 2015/May 2016 to a horrendous fiend in June 2016; OR 2. The refs at the Euros took a terrible disliking to him for no apparent reason, singling him out above all other players (he's the one who got the MOST yellow cards in the Euros, it is to be noted, no mean feat); OR 3. The refs in the EPL were excessively lenient with Kante throughout the league, the result of which he was not suspended for any game and Leicester could incredibly field the same starting XI for the entire duration of the league. Take your pick 4. Perhaps he was more passionate about playing for his country than his club an went in a little more "committed"? 5. Perhaps he was on a dare from his team mates? 6. Perhaps you have uncovered a conspiracy!!! Maybe UEFA did not want France winning the Championship and were overly tough on Kante? 7. Perhaps he was hoping for a lengthy suspension during the EC and mistimed his tackles because he saw all his English friends were already on the beach? 8. Perhaps Aliens have actually inhabited his body between the end of the season and the EC and they have not yet mastered the art of tackling? 9. 3 games is a short run. I've seen Jonathan Walters score 3 goals in 3 games compared to 8 in a season is he A) the world's best striker; B) Not trying during the whole season; C) none of the above? HMMMMMMMMM....... After careful considered analysis, I have to agree. There must be some kind of cover-up. My vote is for #8 |
