Leicester City 1-1 AS Roma: three things FoL learned

I thought Don’t Stop the Party by Pitbull was a nice touch, allowing fans to get the chant going about our beloved centreback, Daniel Amartey. Maybe LCFC ought to play Wonderwall by Oasis so we can scream out the words about one of our own, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.

It’s all a step in the right direction, if we keep complaining on twitter maybe they’ll finally get rid of the dreadful clap banners. Although some fans have already started their move on twitter to get rid of the clap banners after seeing how successful they were with sorting out the pre-match music .

Referee was Roma’s 12th man

Spanish referee Carlos del Cerro Grande caused some controversy to say the least, sometimes it seemed like there were 12 Roma players on the pitch! He certainly kept his average yellow cards up, booking four players, two from either team. The Real Madrid fan was blatantly biased towards the Yellows and Reds, giving them far more decisions than Leicester. While the ref also gave City yellow cards for barely anything – whilst allowing Roma to get away with everything.

I thought Grande was doing okay in the first two minutes and then it just went downhill from there. Players of the East Midlands team were getting fouled left, right and centre and there was absolutely no penalising for it.

Fans on social media even implied the referee was ‘paid’ off. You can understand why they feel that way, because it was so so obvious how biased he was against Leicester. Though there is no report of actual match fixing.
