The Leicester manager gives his inimitable views on football and life in his weekly column. Ollie talks about an indifferent week for the Foxes and a "dodgy" penalty awarded against them. He also gives his thoughts on his young players, Sam Allardyce, Christmas shopping and creation. MIXED BAG FOR LEICESTER Yes, terrible, terrible refereeing decision that ruined us against Southampton. We pulled it back to 1-1 and then in the second half the most shocking decision I've ever seen in my life. Handball's supposed to be deliberate but our bloke wasn't even looking at the ball. There was no-one was around him, you could argue it was outside the box...I've never seen anything like it. The referee won't be getting a Christmas card from me, I can assure you. Then we went to Burnley, the lads were a bit shell-shocked and we got a bit of a drubbing. But at half-time we were only 1-0 down and in the second half we looked like world-beaters and could have nicked it.
I said if that was a penalty - or even a free-kick - against Southampton I would change my name to Alex McJockstrap and wear a kilt every day, because it was ridiculous. But we've drawn Southampton in the FA Cup so there's a chance to get a bit of 'rewengee' as they say in Blackadder - "We'll wreak horrible rewengee on you!"
BIG SAM'S ROUGH RIDE I've been booed as a manager, loads of times. At Bristol Rovers they shouted out 'You don't know what you're doing' when I took off the captain, who was having a beast, and put another bloke on. We were 2-0 down at that stage and went on to lose the game 2-1 after playing ever so well. So I rephrased it to say the crowd didn't know what they're doing.
