Leeds United 1-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[Richard E]

the decision to stop play is the refs.
The game turned into a farce.
I hope Smith tells them in future let the ref be the ref.

It’s not the playing on, it’s the giving the clear impression you’re going to put it out and then playing on when our players stop.

Did Davies miss today’s game because of injury?

He was ill according to Dean.

Did Davies miss today’s game because of injury?

He missed it because the pub player left us years ago.

Davis was out with illness though.

Very curt.

Probably picked up an infection from Kieron Clarke, Libor Kovak or Brad Guzman.

the Bamford thing was the worst thing I saw today

I don't think they were right but I can understand why a striker goes for goal I can understand why a defender doesn't want to stand aside while someone puts the ball in the net

It's the spirit of sporting fair play v the competitive will to win, sporting spirit should win every time but it doesn't always

what I can't understand is how Bamford blatantly cheats to get another player sent off, doing something so low and despicable that could maybe even affect the players future career, play acting downright cheating to get a fellow professional sent off is a disgrace

that sort of cheating where it is obvious and there is no doubt whatsoever should be 6 months ban minimum
 
there is no place for it in football

I agree the full Ron Manager 110%

Whoops! 🥴

Let’s hope he’s back soon. He’s the sort of player we need to hold up the ball and take pressure off the defence. The ball kept bouncing off Kodjia today.

[cdbearsfan]

Offside.

If you click on the image, he's clearly onside. Not because of the nearest defender, Tuanzebe, but because of Mings. You can't see him unless you click on it, though.

[Clampy]

What a feckin palaver that was! I thought the ref did ok in the first half but he made a right mess of what happened in the second. If he had blown for the foul on Kodjia in the first place, all that could have been avoided but then he just lost the plot.

The fact that we've been down to ten men twice in recent games away from home and still picked up points says a lot about the team spirit at the moment. Mings was absolutely immense and I thought both full backs were solid.

Oh and Patrick Bamford really should not leave the house for a few days.

[Legion]

Bamford's welcome mat at home...

[garyshawsknee]

You're right Clampy, it was an obvious foul on Kodjia. Ref was really below par today. Bamford is just like his old man, a massive cnut.

[olaftab]

OK there's a lot of bad feeling and we're football fans and all but sorry, Bielsa did a good thing that a lot of people - including many of us - would not have had the balls to do, and the people doubting his sincerity out whatever are I think being more than a little bit Leeds themselves. Let's have some class, say fair play, stop being so begrudging and mean-spirited and just leave it at that.

OK Bielsa took the affirmative action that required balls but ONLY after Smith told him that there was "a resolution" after he came over and apologised. My own view is that it was more of "if you want your goal back you can have it"  effort from him.

Personally I don't think he was 'pulling a fast one'. I think he planned to put it out and in a split second changed his mind.

As for debates as to who was the better team on the day I thought it was fairly even. They had their good and bad moments and we had our good and bad moments.

[themossman]

Yep he was about to put it out then he saw Klich in loads of space and though ‘fuck it YOLO’.
