[Football] Vardy a thug?

[wallyback]

It's lose!

Anyway, nothing like giving a vote of confidence to a goalkeeper who may be very good! A lot of people thought Ryan would be rubbish after Stockdale left. How wrong they turned out to be!!

On nsc it's loose.

Vardy has had a few PL sending offs for awful challenges.

This. Thug.

Leicester have quite a few players who are niggly. Not a very nice team.

Schmeichel is a pillock.

I wonder why 'an old fashioned player' is acceptable as a striker but not a defender in the Hunter, Harris McKay mould.

Because tackling from behind has been more or less outlawed?

I was in the west stand, I kept watching Ryan in the second half, was he injured, did he have cramp? Either way, he kept rubbing his knees, calf etc. I kept thinking is he going to come off and oh god, if we have to rely on his replacement, we’ll loose!

I accept that but thuggery seems to be ok for strikers.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Vardy's always been like that and I think his non-league background is part of it. We were all a bit like that in Sunday League weren't we? I'd have him in our team in a heartbeat and, IMO, the PL could do with a bit more physicality rather than a bit less.

Not in the Joe Jordan style it doesn’t.

We had our share with Alec Dawson and Bobby Smith in yesteryear.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Vardy has the audacity to believe football is a physical game how does that make him a thug?

 

[BensGrandad]

There is a vast difference between being physical and leaving your foot in and trying to take a player out

 

[Stat Brother]

I was shocked to see how easily he barged Duffy out of the way dumping him on his back, not often you see that! The type of player we love to hate but would also love to have in our side.

Yep playing for the Albion he'd have singlehandedly changed the game, coming on...






...in the 89th minute.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

Vardy showed his quality yesterday, caused non stop problems when he came on and dragged his team back for a deserved point.

 

[Knocky's Nose]

I think Vardy is pretty sneaky and knows exactly what he's doing. He's built like a rat (and looks like one) but he's clearly pretty strong with it.

When he came on it was like someone had flicked a light switch on the Leicester players and they all just sparked into life. We then, predictably, shit ourselves and backed off even more...

So, Vardy a thug? No, not in the old fashioned plainly obvious 'I'm going to break your legs' sense, but he's certainly a slippery little git. I was CH I'd tell every member of the team to clatter him when the ref isn't looking, wherever and whenever possible. If he's too busy looking for the next player to come steaming in on him, he'll be too busy to get up to no good himself.

 

[AmexRuislip]

That penalty that Vardy took was an absolute vicious thing to do, especially against a player smaller than him.
Bullish thuggery at its worst!

 

[BensGrandad]

His challenge on Bernardo rather than trying to get the ball was in full view of the west side lino who as stated on another thread was useless..

 

[Gazwag]

Same as the rest of that team, but gets let off by the media because they won the title and now they will again

 

[Mr Banana]

He's the archetype of the most annoying player on the opposite team at Sunday League/5-a-side. Says something like "this lot are rubbish" every five minutes, asks the ref for everything, runs off roaring after scoring an annoying goal, gives you a wink and a snidey grin on your way out of the changing rooms afterwards.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Agree with the OP. He’s quite a nasty individual I think. I said so during the game.

We could be playing the Newhaven 5th Brownie troop and they'd look like nasty individuals too.

I agree with that. Gross thought he was onside but Schmeichel was screaming at the ref for some reason. Did he think he should carded?
I did enjoy giving him some stick in the second half in the north end.
