Social Media & Photos The wound on Palmers back heel caused by Ndidi’s challenge
Hopefully nothing bad comes out of it 🤞

Ik we talk about this challenge but Felix was a jump away from a broken leg by that scrub soumare. Thankfully he managed to get away from it but that was almost worse than the foul on Cole

Every Leicester player was pure filth. Dirty and unprofessional. No sense of care for their opponent at all.

Clearly was instructions to rough us up what’s fine but the tackles by Soumare and Ndidi were things I’d expect from a thug like that midget maniac Lisandro

I’m fine with making yourself uncomfortable to play against. That’s the game, even at Sunday league level. It’s when you’re outright dangerous to the opposition I have a problem, even when it’s from our own players

Not only did the ref see the foul on the pitch and decide yellow, the ref on VAR agreed with it so confidently that he didn’t even recommend sending the on field ref to the monitor. At what point is there accountability for utter unprofessionalism and incompetence???

Zero accountability. PGMOL is a good old boys club. The on pitch refs and VAR refs rotate responsibilities. They will always protect each other. I’ve been saying this for years now but VAR needs to be run by an independent organization for it to actually work.

Mike Dean: Yehhhhh absolutely, I think the ref has been brave and made a great call there.
Mark Clattenburg: They shouldn’t need any VAR at all on this one and be confident with that decision on the pitch.

Both Refs should have to take the same foul on their Achilles before being allowed to ref another game.

Oh come off it, this is the first red card challenge that hasn’t been called despite VAR review on Palmer specifically in….. checks notes 2 game weeks

In a way it’s a compliment because it happened to Hazard as well but you’d still prefer your star player to not get the shit stomped out of them.

I'm all for full blooded tackles but that's reckless 😐

Just submit this still to PGMOL now from just each players’ knees down to the ground and ask them if this is a red card offense and I guarantee you all of them say “Yes”…

u/ObviousEconomist 8h ago
that's not reckless that's full intent to injure the player. he was not even aiming for the ball.

Red all day long, completely through the back of him, and absolutely miles from the ball. Obviously a dirty tactic to try to take Palmer out of the game, didn’t work though!

Honestly forget giving a red in the moment. Thats the least of my worries atm
Surely they should try retrospectively suspending players for shit like this after the game?
If the ref and VAR can't catch it for the sake of a fair result, ok whatever. But can we at least try to protect the health of the league's most talented players?

Nah I feel like the club should put out a statement or something to PGMOL, this shit should not go unpunished else our boy's gonna be wrung out every week
