With all the Champion League talk I thought that these deserved a mention.

Leicester need to receive alot of respect for what they done in this game. For the basic summary a couple weeks ago Leicester player Clarke had heart failure at half time. The scoreline was 1-0 to Forest. The teams and referee mutually decided to finish the match and have a reply due to this. This reply begun, and due to the fact Forest had a 1-0 lead in the previous match at half time the Leicester team just stepped aside and allowed Forest to score from kickoff.

This is fair play to a degree I not seen in a long time when it comes to football, everyone is so set on winning they dont care about it anymore. Hell at times it a struggle to get opposition to give the ball back when put uot for an injured player, let alone an entire squad letting you just walk the ball in.

Good to see chivary is not completely dead in the sport :worthy:

Wow, nice to see a bit of sportsmanship in football. That along with the South African Rugby team not crushing Jason Robinson when he pulled a hamstring has restored my faith in the human race. As such I will allow it to continue for another millenia ;)

Seriously, nice to see.:worthy:

It really was a touch of class and really nice to see in this money run age of football.

Its what I like about the lower leagues, theres still a bit of camarderie (sp) about. Could you imagine the likes of Chelsea and United doing it? ofc not

Surprised the two clubs didnt get fined or docked points for it. The FA is a joke nowadays.
