Yep this is true. I was standing quite close to him, he collapsed suddenlym and within minutes they had the de-fib going. Spoke to a steward friend at halftime and he said he'd died. It was pretty shocking to watch.

Shit, sorry to hear that. RIP fella. At least Cardiff went on to win.

As an aside, for every Mark Kennedy there's a Chopra (attempted face stamp) and a Delaney (constantly asking the ref to book players).
In fact, there's a lot more.
Wankers, tsk.

Don't be a bad loser.
Your bunch of foulers picked up twice as many yellow cards (six in total!) so you've got zero prospect of securing the high moral ground here.

There should have been a red or two in there too following second yellows that should have been presented but weren't.

I'm not being a bad loser, I've been good natured throughout, I just think that face stamp effort was pretty appalling.
There's a massive difference between feisty play that results in a yellow (Wellens being a good example - he's a terrier, but he's honest) and going out to hurt someone with a face stamp.
Also a world of difference between feisty play and cynically trying to get other players punished.
I have to say, I'm a little surprised that you're not acknowledging this.

I haven't seen it on telly and it was on the other side of the pitch to me but...
I'm of the opinion that had Chopra deliberately attempted to stamp on his face then his face would have Chopra's stud marks on it today. He wouldn't have missed.
He doesn't miss from that range.
Feeny would have missed. yes but not Chopra

Funny thing was I watched the game in the pub as the lone Cardiff fan surrounded by (well, there were three in total!) Leicester fans and none of them thought that Cardiff were 'wankers'.
They tried a few things on, just like the Leicester players did, but in general the spirit of the game was fantastic, and the best team won through - as the stats clearly prove.
We had far more possession, far more strikes on goal and your lot committed loads more fouls.
Possession
* Cardiff 56%
* Leicester 44%
Attempts on target
* Cardiff 11
* Leicester 8
Attempts off target
* Cardiff 9
* Leicester 3
Corners
* Cardiff 7
* Leicester 7
Fouls
* Cardiff 16
* Leicester 23

A) I didn't say Cardiff were wankers, I said Chopra and Delaney were. You'll note I also applauded Kennedy.
B) What's the game as a whole got to do with two elements of cynical behaviour?
C) Leicester were indeed feisty, and all but two of the yellows were deserved, but what's that got to do with the aforementioned cynical behaviour?
Cardiff were great, I applaud them, my comments were only relating to two things. Is it really that hard to grasp my point?

No you didn't. You said:
You were beaten in a great and very tight game, played in a superb spirit. Don't try and spoil it with sour grapes.

Read it again...
I said "For every Mark Kennedy there's a Chopra or Delaney. In fact, there's a lot more."
By which I meant "For every honest player, there are a lot more cynical players"
It wasn't Cardiff specific. Apologies if this was unclear.
And again, there really isn't any sour grapes on my part, you'll realise if you read back through my post-match comments.

Home at 0300 and in work for 0730, ouch
Most emotional, and ultimately best, night of my 34 years going to the match. My LCFC driver was magnanimous and proud that the foxes had put on a show
Leicester's 4th penno, bit surprised at your reaction on here, from my angle that was comfortably the best penalty I have ever seen
Chops, I was near his "stamp" (I was in the Grandstand lower, just behing the LCFC bench). Haven't seen it on telly yet. It looked bad. But, to paraphrase somone ealrier on here, he could have booted his head off if he had wanted to. He is a twat, but deliberately missed. I'm not defending him, so don't flame me
Well played Leicester, I went both legs and feel lucky to have seen all of it
Wembley £98 a pop, fucking hell man
See you there, and thanks City, I fucking love you you made me cry xxx

£98 tickets have all gone.
8 of us just bought £64 ones. All that money and I'm still behind the goal. We should have bought sooner.
If only mate wasn't scared of the heights the bloody pain in the arse. We could have gone upper tier block 551 near the centre of the pitch.
~I suggest those who don't have tickets get online quick so that you don't end up paying more than i did for a worse placed seat.

Didn't celebrate with the team, but instead went and consoled the Leicester player who had just missed his pen to lose the game.

Does anyone know how many tickets are likely to go on sale to people who are on the database but not a season ticket holder? I am still on the database from when I had a season ticket and was just wondering what my chances of getting 2 tickets were on a scale of slim to none!

I would imagine (out of 37,000) around 7000 to away members and stadium card holders (not sure which of these you are)
I would say you have a good chance. Make sure you suss when the different categories go on sale - I think (but am not sure) that aways and stadium card holders is Monday
Good luck it is going to be beautiful

ps after those categories there will then be general sale - but if you are not a stad card holder you will be at the back of the queue in a free for all

Who was it that helped the Leicester player with cramp? A City player did that at Palace too - it's very sporting.

Chopra. Miund you it was just after he nearly booted his head off (see posts, passim) so I think he was trying to blag the ref a bit
