    Now there is a splendid idea but which rule would we claim was being broken, victimisation isn't one of them?

    Hopefully that's heavily photoshopped...the girl on the left has thinner shins than ET for gods sake.

    Refraction is the answer, in Australia you can actually see through the water. A novel concept for you poms but there you have it.

    Think you forfeited your right to fair hearing when....

    Well, I suppose it was when you came back from being banned without a fair hearing if I'm being honest.

    Me!? I was hung, drawn and quartered and left out for the crows to peck at. It would have been good if somebody could have PM'd me just to have a word. But that was a long time ago now. Last year was quite a bad year for me and that incident really didn't register on the scale.

    Is that the 5 minutes of injury time spent by our corner flag time wasting.

    I get you’re angry at the result but you’ve just got a bee in your bonnet about this. What do you think they do, sit down before the game and have a team talk where one of them says, “look guys I know we normally bust a gut, but let’s jog around today I can’t be arsed” and everyone goes “yeh great idea let’s take the club, the fans and everyone else for a ride and just not give a sh*t today”

    I mean they don’t care do they, they get paid regardless, bielsa probably thinks they’re allowed to take qpr lightly because he couldn’t be bothered to do his homework.

    Or maybe, its a complete fallacy that professional footballers don’t give a sh*t. I know some, they fcking hate losing. The reason why they are professional footballers and not playing Sunday league after a 60 hour working week is because they are driven by a competitive instinct and take a professional approach to the game.

    Yes some soften over time and all will try and get the best deal for their contracts etc... so they get accused of only being in it for the money, but on the pitch they try.

    They lose confidence, and that might make them show less for the ball, they might get dispirited during a game if it’s not going their way, some will show bad body language. Fans will interpret this as not trying. Frankly it’s because most fans don’t know their arse from their elbow.:emoticon-0105-wink:

    I don't know why they played so ****,maybe some have stopped buying into Bielsa ball,Norwich and Sheffield both play a high intensity game like us,and they aren't tired lacking in effort like last night.last night was the worst performance of the season,so why when the going gets tough do we seem to give up yet again.

    I often moan about the finger pointing and scapegoats but for me it was down to Bamford and Roberts, they were not on the same page. We know for Bielsa ball to work every player needs to be on the same page and those two weren’t.

    There wasn’t enough movement from them, no pulling the defence about, not a genuine effort to get the ball. When they were supposed to be closing down they made a token effort to do so, they didn’t take up good positions often enough when offering themself for the pass.

    They looked like they were trying to conserve some energy as they feared they’d run out of gas before the end. Izzy came on and he looked more likely to get sent off but he was straight into closing the player down. Hopefully that was his hunger to impress mixed with just coming into the game late and misjudgment.

    I wasn’t sure what position he came on to play after the substitutions and reshuffle but against WBA I’ll feel a lot happier if he is at 10 instead of Roberts with Alioski and Pablo alongside him with Douglas back at LB

    Roberts had a nightmare game,but the only choice we had,was a fairly good option,to give Brown 30 minutes to try and change it,too little too late.The next 4 games will wreck or save the season,but turn out crap like last night and we are going no where.
    QPR weren't a good team,but they were the only team that wanted it.

    There were times when 16 players were in one Leeds corner of the pitch,yet we still persisted to tippy tappy the ball in this congested area until we lose it.

    Douglas starting, Alioski and Harrison out wide, Pablo in place of Roberts at 10 would have surely been better?

    Agreed,a worry for me was for the first time this season,Bielsa didn't seem to have any ideas how to change it.

    I’m sure he’ll come back to this. I think he feels Douglas isn’t fully fit yet. Maybe Friday.

    I only saw the second half but I saw bamford doing a lot of closing down... nearly gave a penalty away at one point. He needs to find his shooting boots to get a spring in his step.
