Leeds United 1-1 Aston Villa Post Match Thread

[mallo]

Oh the Karma - Leeds lose Bamford and lose to Derby whilst putting 3 of their players out of action for the final.

Leeds fans suddenly gone very quiet!

[AsTallAsLions]

That is a beautiful thing altogether. Have to say I'm very surprised Conor has escaped any further punishment but assume it's because he was carded?

[Stu]

The Leeds fans posting on the Graun article about Bielsa are absolutely mental. Not accepting that Kodjia was injured, despite him going off injured to be replaced by Jedinak - nope, this was a face-saving substitution from Villa. Full of conspiracy theories and accusing Villa and Grealish in particular at diving everywhere. The only reason they're not defending Bamford is because he was caught shithousing on camera.

Absolute fucking maniacs.

They’ve lost the plot and it’s hilarious. I predict they will continue to implode in hilarious fashion in the semis.

It's a full on tin hat brigade.

But, as I did point out to one of them, it's not that surprising when they claim to have won a trophy when they lost 2-0.

The Leeds fans are obsessed with their own sense of rectitude, blaming Hourihane (for piling in), Grealish (he dived all day) and Kodjia (he wasn't fouled, and in fact tried to foul Cooper) in equal measure.
Farcical.

It's all I've heard on the school run twice a day from a very bitter Leeds fan who now absolutely hates Villa as it is all our fault for not playing to the whistle and reacting in that manner. Plus Hourihane was forced to kick the ball out of play previously as he had no other option available.

[Stu]

I think they thought they could intimidate us and take the piss. Blew up in their faces big time.

To be fair, that's basically the same argument some on here have been making about why Bielsa let us have a goal back.

[danno]

For anybody clinging to the play to the whistle defence, consider how many matches that have been played since the Overmars goal and how many incidents there have been like last Sunday.

Kicking the ball out for the opposition happens pretty much every game and is reciprocated in kind with minimal fuss, time and again.

So basically f*ck off Leeds.

[PaulWinch again]

It’s not the fact they didn’t kick it out for me, it’s that Roberts clearly stopped and indicated he was kicking it out that was out of order.

[RichardBatchelor]

All my mates who are neutral think it was bloody hilarious farce. They’re right. We need to stop the high-horsery and Leeds fans DEFINITELY need to stop the high-horsery because, Conor’s throat grab aside, they don’t have much ammunition.

What confuses me most of all is why both sides were so worked up for an essentially dead rubber.

I thought that. I guess both sides probably felt that it was a preview of the final so didn't want to give the other an edge. Now, if it is the final, it'll be all edge.

[dave shelley]

For all those supporters of other clubs' that reckon Jack Grealish is a diver, I suggest they Youtube a certain Francis Lee.

On the final result it was a dead rubber, however we still had a chance of getting fourth which could be advantageous in the playoffs, Leeds pretty much needed a miracle though to do anything which is why Bielsa was probably more receptive to allowing a goal to "even" it up again even though we were down to 10. I'm hoping it is Derby in the final if we do get through simply because Smith seems to have the beating of Lampard at the moment.
