Wait until the FA get wind of this.
You’d expect an almost certain charge to be levelled at high-flying Leicester striker Jamie Vardy for this obscene gesture to a linesman during his side’s 2-1 victory over Watford on Saturday.
Vardy aggressively stuck his middle finger up to an official who had flagged him offside and appeared to shout “f**k off!” in his direction.
The forward, who went on to score the decisive goal from the penalty spot, received no punishment from referee Roger East but you’d expect the FA to take a good, long look at the footage.
Jack Wilshere was hit with a two-match ban in late 2013 for showing his middle finger to Manchester City fans so the precedent has been set.
Fantasy football players, this writer included, will therefore be scrambling for a replacement for Vardy who had scored in his ninth consecutive Premier League game.
Jamie Vardy has just stuck his middle finger up at the linesman and shouted 'fuck off' because he gave him offside 😂 wtf
