Yes, we were inept and gutless but it took some courage to come back from one nil down and a man down to earn that point. Could have rolled over given all they’ve been through. It’s easy to focus on our display but fair play to them today. Did everything we didn’t do at Cardiff :clap:

The reaction of their players was ecstatic on the final whistle

Imagine watching a game where both teams rolled over?

I thought they were a bunch horrible cheating tossers who were trying anything to get our players booked

That Maddison chap actually apologised to the Leicester mob, for that dive.
How about an apology to our mob, for being a cheating scumbag.

They recovered well and looked the more likely team to get the winner until the last 10 mins when we decided to start playing again. Having said that our negative and cautious nature allowed them back into the game. Any team playing us knows that if we take the lead we’ll go straight to defending in depth for the rest of the game.

We allowed Leicester to grow into the game and you could see their confidence grow, as did the volume from their fans, as we resorted to time wasting from the end of the first half.

It’s a tough league and we should be grateful just to be playing in it apparently, oh and Leicester won the league a couple of years ago so it was quite a good result for us :rolleyes:

Well said, how I feel......

Had a disagreement with a fellow fan afterwards, who felt Hughton got it right, but for me, we lacked any meaningful pressure on the ball in the second half.

Another cheating club. Screwed local businesses when they built the new ground and deliberately went into receivership. Got zero time for them, sympathy for those that died recently **** all sympathy for the shithouse club.

He can take his apology and shove it where the sun don't shine. Would he have apologised if the penalty had been given? Would he bollox. Only apologised because he got caught cheating,

Yep, kudos for them for their positive reaction and fight back. They could easily have rolded over and accepted defeat, but they didn't. In fact, if good fortune had gone their way they could have nicked all three points.

His apology was almost as bad as the act.

''I went down because I anticipated the challenge but that's no excuse'' - Just screams I would have went down even if it had been a good challenge and I would have went down even without a challenge. In fact I was going down no matter what the circumstances.

Vardy changed the game when he came on. He certainly ran around like a man who'd had his usual several red bulls before the game which made up for our one man advantage.

They beat us last season, so you could say, we've improved.

It's the difference between having relatively inexperienced Premier League players on our bench, to having Vardy on the bench.
