Some people don't believe Victor Orta. So, it's up to you who you believe! please log in to view this image David Foster @davefosterleeds I'm starting to feel sorry for TC he has no say at all clearly he's just a yes man and told what to say and do its a shambles the set up Eddie Gray has joined the debate whether Leeds should have had a penalty in the first half of the Leeds - Derby game... "I must say if you're the referee, the first thing I think you look at is a dive," he told LUTV. "And there's no doubt Alioski did throw himself to the ground and I think that takes away - even if there is contact, if there was contact, it was minimal. I'll be honest, if I was the referee, I'd have never given a penalty kick for that. No way." Last night Patrice Evra attacked a Marseille fan pre-match. Reminds me a bit of Cantona's kung fu kick... Thoughts on ban timescale or perhaps criminal charges? please log in to view this image
Good Morning Matt and co from a calm Bardsey if WJ sees this where do you want to watch the game tomorrow New Inn or Half Moon Well we need a result its as simple as that so we need 11 players who are going to fight for the shirt I believe Beradi and Phillips will be in the team no need to ask them to fight ! EvrA has only played 3 times for Marsielle .By being sent off before the game presumably they could pick another full back or not He should get banned until next season no doubt pick up his wages for doing nothing
Morning all... Thomas comes over as a real nice guy but sadly, I think he needs to grow a pair. He is far too soft, the director of football is obviously calling the shots when it comes to appointments, if Thomas is going to be a "yes" man then you question if he is strong enough when addressing the players. Put it another way, what would Mick McCarthy say if he was offered a foreign defence coach? The appointment undermines Thomas, if he isn't capable of bringing in his own coaching staff or if he didn't feel the need for one this is going to end in a mess. What happens IF Thomas gets sacked? We are not only looking for a head coach who is willing to work under a director of football, he needs to accept his coaching staff also get picked for him, good luck with that one. Thomas, the guy who impressed at his interview with his videos and seemingly great knowledge but can't organise a defence and has a helper assigned to him, a bit Gary Neville if you ask me at the moment.
He even let the players choose the captain. The bloke is clearly a follower not a leader.... Ffs I cant be the only one that knows he has to go. Nice guys come last.
LOOKING at results Brentford are undefeated in last 8 games so we will have to do what we did to Bristol beat em They even beat Millwall! Last home game they drew with Sunderland so all is not lost they seem to let in a few goals at home
Trouble is chairman admits to not knowing how to run a football club.lets hope he learns quick but i already fear it will be too late for this season.if he lets dof loose with the transfer budget i expect disaster in january .
you will get nothing from Brentford we will beat Burton and by the time you play Boro you will need to win to go back above us which you wont get
Regarding Big Mick not accepting a foreign coach? wow love it that we are all now expert on football coaching and how to run a football club. FACT the DoF system is the most used system in world football. FACT Big Mick, Harry and almost 80% of managers/coaches spend part of each year (Usually in own time) to go overseas to spend time with another club studying new techniques. So why should having a world class recognised defensive coach at your own club be a problem. Whilst Im at it how many trophies has the England squad won recently at senior level NONE and we've been a fooking joke for years. Kids squad have won 2 world cups and the Tuelon trophy in the last 12 months, the kids coaches travel to study......
Difference was,he bankrolled all the best players available with transfer fees and wages.Were still shopping in a very different market. Morning all by the way. At least we get another international break after tomorrow thankfully and the usual culprits can get back to squabbling here
