Referee Jon Moss has taken enormous stick for his performance in the game between ourselves and Leicester City yesterday but was it deserved?
ClaretandHugh Facebook forum followers @ https://www.facebook.com/groups/363174467150521/have been giving their views.
Here’s a random selection:O Fined for telling the truth?
O Why should he be fined? He wasn’t abusive, didn’t call him names or use bad language. He is right – that refereeing performance was unacceptable as were about four or five others this season!O We should be in the top 4
O He just said what everyone saw either at the game or on TV. If any action should be taken it should be against the ref for a very poor display.
O Technology needs to come in now, I reckon it will within the next 3 seasons.
O Winston Reid’s interview with Sky Sports was poor, just huffing and puffing about poor decisions. We can’t keep blaming the referees (I know it’s not helping), the team needs to play better.
The last 2 games playing Valencia has been a mistake.

O I don’t think anybody could disagree. Mind you if the abuse the ref got from the Leicester staff on the tunnel cam as he left the pitch is anything to go by a few of them should get fined as well .
O It’s true though and video technology is a must now because there is that much at stake and the teams that are getting away with it are the ones getting the decisions for them which are the wrong ones….
O Players as well as Managers have to be careful what they say, let’s just see what happens, May be media talk.
O Incidentally, I can’t believe that people are saying Vardy was unlucky too be sent off. A clear dive, and one that may cost his team the title. He has done this throwing his legs into the defenders legs too make it look like he has been tripped a few times this season too get penalties
O Apart from that last decision (which was a bottle job) I actually thought the ref had a reasonable game!
He was brave to send Vardy off – at home – for diving (blatant) and he warned Huth and Morgan on at least three occasions before he gave our penalty.

O How about the ref being fined for a totally inept performance? They continue to give incorrect decisions which alter results and league table positions but get away Scot free. They should be held accountable when things go wrong, although it will be too late to affect the result.
Leicester’s penalty aside, I though he had a decent game; certainly better than some officials we’ve had in recent weeks. It took a lot of bottle to not only give the decision against Vardy, but also give him a second yellow, and from that point on the atmosphere got nasty, as if everyone was saying “don’t you know you’re supposed to give us everything and let us win the title?” From that standpoint, to not only send off their major threat, but give US a penalty six minutes from the end of the game were significant decisions. But, I thought that we’d be treading a fine line because, whether conscious or unconscious, a way would be found to even things up somewhere.
I agree 01,I was surprised he had the balls to send off Vardy & give the penalty.Then he reverted back to type & bottled it.We really shouldn’t have been surprised.Still we went to the soon to be Champions & almost came away with the 3 points.Such is life.Watford next,let’s take our frustrations out on them.Just hope the Know It All Wetpants get the team right for Watford,lol
Gutted to drop the 2 points with time virtually up , brings back memories of Kanes late penalty equalizer last season .Why does it seem to keep on happening to us ?
On the bright side an away penalty at last ! Only another 6 year wait for the next one !
Bad decisions by referees this season Has cost us any chance of playing CL football in our 1st season at the OS, not to mention the £m’s that would come our way. We could have been 3rd or 4th chasing the top 2 & a date at wembley next week.
The last minute penalty was a joke, AC was bolt up right & the leicester player bounced off him & went down like he was shot. Moss bottled it in front of 30,000+ leicester fans screaming for a penalty everytime a player was as much as touched. AC was 100% correct in saying the ref evened things out.
i made a comment on whtid during the game basically saying I thought the ref was wanting the headlines today. Of course my comment was ignored & now everybody is saying the same thing i did
Nothing changes then Essex,haha.You should know only the faces on there’s opinion carries any weight.You are still in Coventry,haha.Ignore the merchants, they know no more than anyone else,just think they do,haha.Haven’t been on there for about a year,I feel cleansed of the bull**** now.Try it yourself,haha 🙂
Tbh i comment less & less these days, it’s too bloody cold in coventry. I do get the odd snippets of replies mind. One of my main problems on there is when i’m typing a comment I get half way through & it keeps disappearing. Maybe it is because i am using a tablet & not a laptop.
You need to be on tablets to mix it with the Knowledge Bombs on there in the first place,haha 😉
I’m a walking pharmacy as it is mate. Just club together & buy me a train ticket home 🙂
Went up yesterday,great day out.Good atmosphere in the ground,the Leicester fans really give it some,haha..Mind you we were in good voice,away games are so much better than home games,I love them.I just knew if they got near our box that Moss would even it out.This is the best season in decades since 86 when I was just a little spotty teenager & I have seen so many entertaining games that it has been great value for money.Unlike last season when we all deserved refunds from Xmas onwards,haha.Anyway hello to bubs,Matte,Ty,Sam’s if youre all still about,lol.Hope life is good for you all,been too busy for forums recently.Take care lads & ignore the Wetpants,they are full of sh#t & hot-air,you know that,haha 🙂
Hello Rads, I am pleased to note you’re alive… lol Take care mate, peace be with you, Mighty Lama… 😀
What makes me laugh is that it’s Carroll who made the tackle but it is Valencia getting all the **** off some fans,lol.OK so they don’t rate Enner fair enough but ffs give it a rest.Soon they will be blaming Scaloni for the cup final throw in for Carrolls penalty,lol 😉
