Was bored and just letting YT feed me one short video after another and this one popped up in my feed. Its nearly 12 years ago now, but possibly one of the sweetest examples of karma ever seen on a football field. To think that a whole season can be laid to waste by one disgusting act of blatant cheating. My disgust at stuff like this has no limits. It must have been amazing to be a Watford fan at that game.
Thing is though, if Leicester had scored, they obviously would have gone up... Because that night happened how it did, 2 years later or so, Leicester were premier league champions! They'd have gone up sooner, probably then buying other players instead of the likes of Kante & Mahrez... Silver linings and all that ey!
This has nothing to do with Karma... The video you've posted is my second favourite of all time on football that I don't have an emotional connection to. (There are Barnsley and England videos that get me more.) This is my favourite...
I remember Doncaster doing the same thing, and hearing about it leaving our match, as it seemed everyone was talking about it.
Aye, I always think of the Donny one. If I remember right, Bournemouth were top, a point ahead of Donny and Brentford who were playing each other, essentially making the Donny and Brentford game a shootout for the other automatic place as Bournemouth were promoted regardless. So when Brentford won a penalty in the 94th minute, scoring it would have won them the title as Bournemouth had drawn. As it happens, Marcello Trotta (remember him) missed, Donny counter attacked, and James Coppinger scored, winning them the title and demoting Brentford to a play-off place. I think the only difference was that it was a penalty in that instance for quite an obvious handball.
Not so much Karma. as in the same game. But the inexplicable decision at old Trafford (Bar cheating ref) not to give us a penalty in the fa Cup. But worth it re the replay, which was an amazing night, beating em 3-2. Scott Jones. Thank you sir.
