| Leicester 2-2 West Ham: Vardy calls Jon Moss "fucking cunt" after receiving second booking. Look at him. |
After 34 matches Premier League officials finally crack down on toe punting divers Leicester City as Vardy receives second yellow for simulation in yet another drab Foxes performance.
Jamie Vardy received his second yellow in his club’s 2-2 tie with West Ham United after he was adjudged to have dived following an Angelo Ogbonna non-challenge. Vardy did what he does so well, throwing his body between defender and ball in an attempt to fool the referee; thankfully, Jonathan Moss was not for turning. A nailed-on stonewall dive.
But not according to this berk:
Following FA ruling that Jamie "the sweetheart" Vardy was to see his one match ban doubled for verbally abusing Moss after his sending off, Lineker petulantly went on to add:
"I never condone dissent, but..."
And just incase you thought Gary was joking, his blinkered outbursts didn’t end there.
Earlier this year Lineker was criticised for saying ‘people make mistakes’ regarding Jamie Vardy’s racist comments after he called an Asian man ‘Jap’ in a casino.

Everything about this story is depressing.
In an interview with the Guardian Lineker tried to further excuse the daft racist, saying: ‘I think it depends on how you say it, and where you say it. But I know footballers, and they are generally really not racist at all.’
“How you say it, and where you say it”? So if you’re racist in a South Yorkshire accent at a poker table it’s acceptable according to Lineker.
Furthermore, “footballers are generally not racist”? He’s actually lost it.
We didn’t see Lineker rushing to John Terry’s defence in 2012 when he racially abused Anton Ferdinand.
He then went on to say: ‘I’m not trying to defend anyone’s actions but there are going to be isolated incidents because it’s an emotive, passionate sport.’
What, poker?
Perhaps realising the possible downside to scrambling around on Twitter like a juiced-up mother hen every time Vardy breathes, Lineker tried to distance himself from his own comments, dismissing the interview as "random" and "bizarre":

The common factor in both of these stories, of course, is just how deeply unpleasant Jamie Vardy is.
BUT OH NO Lineker isn’t finished there:
Commenting on a Sunday Times report in which private doctor Mark Bonar claims to have prescribed banned performance-enhancing drugs to (among others) Leicester City players, Lineker said:
‘You can either play football or you can’t. It might improve your stamina a little bit, I’m not an expert, but it ain’t gonna help you pass…it won’t make you a better player – it’s not cycling or athletics.’
Because fitness has absolutely nothing to do with playing ability?
Lineker’s persistent disingenuous wide-eyed cascade of bullshit is systemic of the hysterical media led narrative surrounding Leicester City. No amount of diving, time wasting, toe punting, racism, abuse and throwing of projectiles by fans at match officials, or tens of millions of pounds spent on players is going to get in the way of this “rags-to-riches” story.
No sir. Never let the truth get in the way of a good story.
As for Lineker (and we love him really) his genuine unashamed bias would be forgivable if he wasn’t defending a cheating diving racist.
IT’S A FAIRYTALE MUMMY!
