Leicester deserved all they got for Knockaert cheating for the penalty

When Knockaert took the pen, I didn't think Almunia was going to get back up to try for the rebound.

It was like Doncaster / Brentford but much, much, much more painful for Leicester.

I think I want Watford to do it. They were one of the three clubs that pulled away and, on a slightly nasty side, I don't think they will do much in the Prem, especially if they will have to go and beg to the FA every time they want to buy someone. Or does that embargo only stand in the FL.

I hope Brighton win their match now. What a final that would be.

I hope Watford go up though, they'll be fucked if they do

Would be funny to see Watford go up as they will lose most of there loanees in the summer and probably sink faster than the titanic. Between them and the jacks it's a easy 12 points as well :malky:

Incredible stuff! Dont you just love football!

I still thibnk the loan system needs to be amended to stop the likes of Watford borrowing an entire team but credit where its due they played well.

I would also like Brighton to go up, I rmemeber them battling with us down in the dungeon year after year so would be good for them to go up as well with us.

Boring/average championship season my arse. The mighty bluebirds win it. Fantastic last day drama for Watford and hull and the playoffs are being rather tasty too

Couldn't happen to a more nicer club, mocked us over the re-brand incredibly. Derby in my eyes are the most respectful team in the East Midlands(scuse my poor geography skills) Over the moon it happened to them.

It's amazing that 3 Saturdays running there has been an injury time penalty missed and the other team has gone up to the other end and scored.

It's why we love this game!

So much for our loaners not giving a toss. What a game.

Re: OMG Don't You Just Love Football. Watford/Leicester

Sun May 12, 2013 2:29 pm

Of the drama of the last few weeks (championship final day, brentford/donny, brentford/Swindon) this has topped the lot

Re: OMG Don't You Just Love Football. Watford/Leicester

Sun May 12, 2013 2:33 pm

watford deserved it. would have been a travesty if knockaert had scored that penalty
The loan system needs to be changed to make sure the watford sistuation never happens again in my opinion but wel done to zola for gelling it all together

Can't see that happening. The owner will simply sell his Udinese players to Watford as financially he will make a lot more money in the Premiership than he will in Italy

Thought Leicester would get through after their impressive win at Forest but it wasn't to be.
Watford have found loop holes within the rules with their team which doesn't sit right with me.
I hope Brighton take the final spot.

The situation with Watford is that the Football League have changed the rules so that this situation can't happen again next season.

So what happens for Watford next season? If they get promoted they will only have 14 players they could register out of the current squad. Quite a few of those players will not be up to Prem standard (say 4/5) so they may be looking at bringing in another 15 players potentially. I know they have asked the Premier League for a special dispensation but I am pretty certain the answer will be a big fat NO for 2 reasons. Firstly Watford already knew the Premier League rules would affect the players they had on loan and secondly the Premier League would not want to be seen to be breaking their own rules in EUFA's and FA's eyes.

The same situation will arise next season if they stay in the Championship. The only way around it is to sign the players permanently. Then you are into the realms of ownership. It could end up like a Tevez/Mascherano situation and if there are any dodgy dealings the club could end up being fined. I'm sure that both the Premier League and Football League will be monitoring this closely.

Come on Brighton.

Pleased for Watford. Whatever we might think about the loan system, they were the third best side in the Championship. Decent, friendly club, too. Just shows how valuable that 0-0 draw at Vicarage Road was on the Saturday after Easter :ayatollah:
