Dirty Leeds vs Aston Villa pre-season friendly

[trinityoap]

Dirty Leeds. They are what they are, fine when they are dishing it out but whinge for England if they are on the receiving end. Fuck the lot of 'em.

[Risso]

At the end of last season they seemed to be having a team-wide competition to see who could commit the worst tackle and get banned for the remaining games.

As they faced relegation, need points and all of their players to stay focused and on the pitch, Dan James was sent off for an horrific challenge against Chelsea at the start of the game. So Leeds can fuck right off.

Cowardly and barbaric? 😂

Not sure if that's a genuine article from one of those weird obsessed Leeds fans, or someone on the wind up?

I did see the full game yesterday evening via the link on here. I think we were good/showed promise. Olsen, Carlos and new DM from France showed that they can be outstanding. Luiz difficult to rate in that game, xlent technic and some superb getting out of no space with the ball and more but not really impose himself so much on the game totales? Had a closer look at Jacob Ramsey and was impressed with his workrate and did seem to do en xlent job defensively also good going forward with the ball and play with his teammates. Dosent sit well with McGinn to not be selected to start a game I think, as usual gave his all when came on if not more, he was good. Ings was at it. Watkins as before,  his not so best to finish but with his workrate and speed he is almost a one man attack so valueable. I try not to bother with Leeds . Interesting season ahead.

I have looked at it a few times and I think it was a bad tackle. Only SJM will really know how much intent there was, if you slow it down it looks like there is still down force on the tackling foot as he makes contact with the player.
Is it as bad as the article above? No. But it wasn’t great and it could easily be a VAR red.

One thing I noticed is that none of the Leeds players immediately  raced over to confront McGinn.  Surely that would have happened if it had been disgusting as the Leeds fans are trying to make out

Not a chance in my opinion.

Who gives a flyin' fiddlers what Leeds think? They're known for one thing and one thing only. You reap what you fucking sow.

[pauliewalnuts]

Their shitty club, shitty ground and throwback neanderthal fans are stuck in the 1980s.

Fuck them.

I’d quite like to see you sprint to beat someone to the ball and bring your leading foot down without force.

In the beginning the Leeds player s foot where planted om the grass, then Mc ginn s foot came on it from above with some force, kind of a stamp. Free kick an yellow card not totaly wrong either.

Yes, he purposely put his foot down, not to stop himself as he collided with another person, but solely out of malice. I can’t understand why he didn’t just dissipate his momentum into the ether like many on here would have done, or perhaps phased the molecules in his leg to pass harmlessly through solid objects.

I played enough to know the difference.

There were people on here justifying The Neil Taylor tackle so some of the comments are not surprising.
If it had been on a young Villa player the reaction would be the opposite.
