Leeds United 1-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[QuintonVilla]

I think El Ghazi will have his red overturned, Hourihane will get a 2 game ban and Bamford will get a 2 game ban.

[Flamingo Lane]

At the risk of receiving pelters, is it at all possible that Leeds' reluctance to put the ball out of play was in any way influenced by the fact that Kodija is very well known for staying down in a heap after being challenged?  Whether he was genuinely hurt after this particular incident or not.

Just take a good look at the replay of the "foul" on Kodjia.
I have watched it maybe 6 times and saw no contact.
My thoughts are Kodjia was withdrawn to defuse the situation, Jedinak was put on the make a nuisance of himself up front and to help out defensively as we were going to be under pressure by having 10 men. 

Words fail me here and in any case I don't want to get banned.

[olaftab]

I think Conor will get banned.

[KRS]

I think he will too. He completely lost the plot yesterday with his actions. He was booked for his conduct but they will most likely charge him for the unseen “punch”.

Just say it.
I'm big enough to take it if you're big enough to take a bollocking by saying it

I’d have thought we’ll pick up another punishment for failing to control our players as well, so will Leeds, £5k was the fine against the noses, expect it will be doubled or trebled for a second offence.

[andyh]

What will be the punishment to the referee and wanker of a linesman who saw something that clearly didn’t happen?
Going down to to 10 men was an obvious disadvantage for no fucking reason whatsoever.
Of course, the answer is nothing.


I don’t like the idea of VAR but when it shows up the officials for being useless ****** then I am all for it.

[KRS]

It's only fair and logical that the FA should be able to be charged by clubs for failing to provide competent officials and losing control of a game.

[aj2k77]

Pontus Jansson what a massive prick. I hope we make the play off final and Abrahams destroys the fucking snidey cheat.

[Drummond]

Bamford 2 match ban for feigning injury that resulted in El Ghazi sending off.
Hourihane 3 match ban for violent conduct.
El Ghazi ban overturned.

That should do it.

Oh and we should just have played on and pressured them into playing the ball out. Play to the whistle, their players just not as nice as ours but the winning mentality of both sides there to see.

I suspect Smith's words to Bielsa were along the lines of 'let us have a goal and we'll go easy on you at Wembley. if you don't. think 1996; I know you've watched it'.

[andyh]

Bambi and Hourihane both got yellows after that melee.
Doesn’t that mean that they can’t be punished further as the ref dealt with it?

[Drummond]

And fucking hell, if Neil Taylor can't score when he has a free run on goal, then he certainly never will.

“To be fair I didn’t see him [Kodjia] lying on the ground and I just carried on playing,” Klich explained.

“I was focused on the goal and if I’d seen him, I wouldn’t have done it. But I didn’t see anything and it went crazy after that.

“I scored, they told us we should have kicked the ball out and it all kicked off.

“We let them score and fair enough, it finished 1-1.”

Jansson

Jansson explained that it was sheer competitiveness that prompted him to disobey Bielsa’s orders.

“I’m a defender, I want to have a clean sheet,” he told the Daily Mirror.

“I work hard for 90 minutes to keep a clean sheet and so to let another team score, for me that’s hard.”
