Route to the final

• with the first leg being played at — As in other articles, I would explicitly mention the two-legged tie.

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• a disagreement with manager Martin O'Neill — Any details?

  No, not in the source. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• made it 1–0 to the visitors. Leicester City won the tie 3–1 on aggregate and progressed to the final. — Looks like we're missing quite a bit here—three goals aren't even mentioned.

  Typo, the agg win was 1–0. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• Shaun Newton capitalised on a rebound from Palace's goalkeeper Nigel Martyn — What minute?

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• the on-loan Kenny Brown — Where was he on loan from?

  The hammers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• overhead kick — Link to bicycle kick?

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• David Whyte — Suggest "[name of team]'s David Whyte"

  Tweaked to avoid quick repetition. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:07, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Background

• Iwan Roberts with 19 goals and Emile Heskey on 7 — Any non-league goals?

  Looked again and found Roberts had a League Cup goal, Heskey just league, but added. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• sustained a rib injury — Any details (broken, bruised, etc.)?

  Just "damaged" so no detail. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• Robins — Should have full name/link.

  Done. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• Dyer was second-top scorer with a total of 14 goals — All in the league?

  Added. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• O'Neill would make a bid for Keith O'Neill — No relation, I assume?

  Nope. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• an elbow injury ... Hopkin remained an injury doubt — Any details?

  No extra detail. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Summary

• Leicester made their final substitution of the game to bring on 6 ft 7 in (2.01 m) tall goalkeeper Zeljko Kalac in anticipation of a penalty shootout — General question: I take it you can't substitute the goalie once the extra period is over? What if he gets injured during the shootout?

  Great questions. You can't do it "tactically" but if the goalkeeper is injured, you can. As long as you have enough substitutions remaining... I think! Take a look at the article, it's really interesting, especially points 12 through 16. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

  Got it, thanks. Take a look at which article? --Usernameunique (talk) 07:22, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

  Penalty shoot-out (association football) The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:31, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

• Claridge — Needs full name/link.

  Added. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• With less than a minute remaining, Claridge struck the winning goal from a Julian Watts header, and eleven seconds later, the referee blew the final whistle. — No injury time, huh?

  Nope. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• In the final minute of the additional 30-minute period ... With less than a minute remaining — The implication is that these moves happened in the same minute. Any word on how many seconds apart?

  None, it's altogether possible they happened in the same minute. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• For a two-hour game, this section feels fairly short. Anything that could be added?

  It is short but as you can see from the variety of sources in the article, I've scoured for mostly everything. I'll take another look and see. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

  Turns out I'd already checked Gale, ProQuest, BNA and Google. Nothing more to add sadly. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:35, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

• O'Neill was given a £5 million budget to make additions to the Leicester City squad — To compete in the Premiership?

  I imagine that would be the case! The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:23, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Overall

• The Rambling Man, over to you. --Usernameunique (talk) 09:16, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Usernameunique all addressed/responded to. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 15:35, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

Usernameunique anything more needed here? The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:17, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

The Rambling Man, I just need to read through your responses and edits. I'll take a look now. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:20, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

The Rambling Man, looks good, passing now. One question above. Also, take a look at the edit I just made re: reference formatting, and see if you like it—it's a slightly more elegant method, I think. But undo the edit if you don't like it. --Usernameunique (talk) 07:28, 11 March 2021 (UTC)

It's fine, thanks. Responded above. Cheers for the review. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 07:31, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
