I love how the referee didn't add time on for Leicester celebrating their goal.

There was no time to add on. When the penalty was given, there were about 30 seconds left. Time does not stop with the award of a penalty, but the penalty still has to be taken even if it goes beyond the alloted time. So, in the time taken to take the penalty, time was technically up (if the added on time was four minutes dead).

Another example of how poor a referee Moss is. As soon as the goal was scored cleanly across the goal line, he should have blown for time. Simples.
 
Can still be simulation if there is contact. It's about simulating a greater degree of infringement to sway the ref.

True. But there's no infringement there. It's a collision Vardy has generated. The defender hasn't done anything or attempted to win the ball, so no foul.

Another example would be someone shielding the ball and falling over after feeling slightly contact from behind to win a foul. Is that simulation? Or is that a decision from the ref to decide if it's just a foul or not?

See Pienaar as a great example
 
Yeah it's not "pretending" to be fouled though; it's deliberately making an action to be fouled.

That's not simulation.

Those are the same things, though. You can't "deliberately make an action to be fouled", because that would negate the thing being a foul in the first place. If your argument is as I understand it, you are saying that it boils down to the ref seeing it as an accident or the ref seeing it as a foul against the attacker, the latter of which would clearly be a case of them successfully deceiving the ref.

Therefore its simulation.

To be fair Ogbanna is pulling Vardy back. Vardy tries to make the most of it...just as Reid did for WHU's pen.

For me the ref was terrible.
