Age Discrimination Chelsea v Leicester

Slicer, was just going to start a thread saying exactly that

Never seen colours that similar

Missed the start, did commentators say anything?

Don't think so.

.. I've just been shouting indoors about the colour clash!.. everyone's rolling their eyes here..

6 suspended in last 3 mins

suspend monkey is all over the place, but never suspended when the goal happened

Who is the game commentator? It's not the bloke who's been sidelined for being non-pc, is it? He commentated regularly on the Women's International at one time. I cannot remember his name now.

Jonathan Pearce

Sterling needs to get rid of the 8 year old's plaits

Sterling..utter dross

Sterling currency is worthless. If he spent as much time practising penalties as he does on grooming his hair, be might be able to score.

A proper team should have a designated penalty taker. He should be under strict instructions not to let anyone else take one

Chelsea look to be running out of steam and accuracy already

This game is a great example of one of the quotes from "The Sayings of Dr Slicer", available at all not very good bookshops, nowhere in the country: "One goal is NEVER enough, except when it's enough!"

Not even close

tidy finish

Disasi disaster!

sunday morning pub football without the fun

WTF is going on with all the needless suspensions?

"One goal is never enough"! 2-2

never seen so many suspensions

Super long clock, bonus suspensions, diving all
over the shop, matching kits, sterling playing sh1te,
brilliant own goal, who would bet on football.

Thanks 'Slicer'. Mr Pearce is back. He disappeared from the screen all of a sudden. Someone mentioned he blurted something not pc. But, I'm glad Jonathan Pearce is back.

Outside the box

Not a penalty, he tripped himself up.

not a penalty imho

Var got that spot on.

Not a red.

Of course it's a red, last man dogso

Taxi for Sterling

Why did ref have to be told it was a Red, not a yellow... Regardless of whether inside the box or just outside?

Didn't affect that part of the decision
Seems to me the refs just taking the easy way out and happy to be corrected

an embarrassment to pub football

Corrected by VAR I meant to say

I don't think it was a foul

It's a yellow and pen or red and free kick.

Ref thought it was in box, he made an error, and var fixed it.

If Chelsea don't win this, a Taxi for Poch and Sterling.
I wouldn't take Sterling on a free

have a look at the replay, his right leg hits his left leg, he fouled himself.

Leicester very unlucky IMHO.

Does anyone have any explanation as to the amount of suspensions in this game?

Is it the Betfair Apprenticeship Training Day or what?

What sort of a clown leaves Sterling on for 85 mins?

Sterling should have been substituted just after the team sheet was issued!

Obviously the suspenders today are pants!

Ha ha, Chelsea playing for extra time

Thank Feck for that!!!

Tough to decide who had worse game sterling or the
commentary team on bbc.

Boo hiss.

'Petraco', I was just thinking that ie being sunday "apprenticeship" in action. I like your namesake; a prolific sprinter.

Yhtl...
Why is it either... Free kick and red or penalty and yellow?
Why not penalty and red?

Goal of the season!!??

them's the rules assuming you are deemed to have made a legit attempt to tackle in the box..double jeopardy stuff

Would he even be a footballer if he hadn't the speed?

Yhtl...
Why is it either... Free kick and red or penalty and yellow?
Why not penalty and red?


Because the laws state an attempt to win ball
in the box triggers double jeopardy, and a yellow
card is awarded with the pen.

And typically they don't suspend it until TWENTY SECONDS after the game had finished.

Sterling is bully fodder!  because he's small and runs like a girl.. I love the guy! truly brilliant. OKay, he's had a terrible game today.

Yhtl... Thanks very much for that, but...

Was there an attempt to win the ball?
Just shown it again side on and he just clips his legs , nowhere near the ball

Blind me! Could the BBC not find a white pundit in the studio? I understand it's sunday.

VAR might well have changed it to a red if had have been in the box.

what i cant work out is sterling has always had the worst kickingt,passingt tecnique you,ll ever see on a pro footballer,he cant possibly hide that lack of technique in training so why do pooch,other players etc allow2 him to dictate who takes the set pieces/pens etc

Cheers Brentford, that's what I would have expected to happen

1tp...don't know about the manager but the other players may give him more respect than he's really due because of being the senior pro among quite a few youngsters

Reg, the ref thought he had attempted to play ball
and that's subjective rather than absolute.

VAR won't overturn that on a close decision, but
we will never know because they determined the
foul was outside the box anyway.

Yhtl, thanks again
Seems crazy that VAR wouldn't have overturned it if they could see on the replay that he had made no attempt to play the ball, but I understand that there are these rules where no obvious error etc

It would have depended on refs discussion with var.

If it was in box...

If var were convinced he made no attempt to play ball
they would have called ref to monitor, and ref could
view replay knowing var thought he made an error
and no genuine attempt to play ball in their
opinion.

Then, likely, ref goes with var, and gives red.

Good start by man utd here.

Liverpool often like to counter too.

Deserved goal mcT
