Some sympathy for Moss,because as one pundit said, the players are hardly following FIFA 'Fair Play' guidelines!
Two interesting, and balanced views provided by Messrs. Zid & Brian. My view falls somewhere in between the two. As viewed in normal time, (which is what the referee is obliged to do!),Moss had a good match overall, marred by only two refereeing mistakes, as apposed to errors of judgement. 1) The penalty box 'assault' on Huth was afar more blatant foul than for which WHU were awarded a penalty; Moss was standing in full view of the incident, and a penalty should have been awarded.2) The penalty awarded against Carroll, can only be described as a sick joke.
This begs the question, fairly implied by Brian, to what degree did the very intense pressures placed upon Moss by both sets of players wrestling non stop in the penalty are, and 'simulating' at every opportunity,behaviour, play a part in his decision making. Incidentally, I did not pick up whether the nearby linesman played a part in the awarding of the last penalty?
The only person in the wrong, with regard to the two yellow cards against Vardy, was Vardy. Not because of his fouls, although the second was totally unnecessary, but for stupidly compounding the situation, by bad mouthing the referee, which has now exposed him to the possibility of being banned from playing in two of the remaining most important games in Leicester's history.. He is very fortunate that Leicester's points in hand, will probably safeguard him against becoming known as the player who cost the club the EPL Championship!
.....any takers out there ?
but gives socksy renewed hope of retaining his EPL status on the forum !
