Actually you are wrong and the BBC proved it after the game. Aidy White got the ball away from the Burnley player who then fell over, everyone at the studio agreed the referee got it spot on. As for the Burnley keeper handball and last man issue, well everyone knows he should have been sent off and Burnley would have struggled with 10 men for most of the game. Accept you got beat, but please don't think you were cheated, you weren't.
How were we not the better team? Both your goals were down to luck because of a terrible goalkeeper who we have now practically exiled from the club. The rest of the match was dominated by us.
I do agree Grant was lucky but i disagee with Dixon and Mills who were BBC pundits today about the penalty we should have got i think it should have been a spot kick Aidy Whites challenge was dangerous and the ref got it wrong and also O'Dea was lucky to stay on too his challenge on half way on another day would have seen red!
dangerous?, hardly, he got the bal land only tripped up your player after, he didnt clatter him/have studs up/have both feet off ground. good tackle
It wasn't dangerous, it was a fair challenge and he got the ball. The Burnley player went down (as I would expect a Leeds player to do in the same position) and the referee didn't buy it, some do. The rule states that a player must touch the ball before the player and that the tackle must be controlled, with studs not showing (abbreviated version)
It was a spot kick ive seen it 3 or 4 times and hes late. You know what we will agree to disagree. But it was a spot kick my opinion will NOT CHANGE!
To say you should have won based on one decision you deem to have been a poor one, is so wildly innaccurate I don't know where to begin. The number of poor game changing decisions we had against us mean we were good value for the win. At least 2 of your players were lucky to be on the pitch.
Under what rule? The player got the ball first (that's clear) and the follow on was controlled. The Burnley player fell over under the tackle and that's it. There is no rule for a penalty to be given in this issue. Had White not hit the ball first, then perhaps a penalty under dangerous play could be given, but that was not the case. There may have been other penalty decision throughout the game that the referee got wrong, but White's one is not one of them. I'm sure the BBC Football League show will prove yet again that it was a fair tackle and not a penalty.
What Steve " I know it all" Claridge who is the worst pundit ever and NEVER has a good thing to say about Burnley that would sum him up in a T.
I've always thought Claridge is fair in his comments and says it as he sees it, which for the BBC is quite refershing. You may think the worlds against you, but it isn't, your team was beaten today by a very poor display from Leeds United, I would suggest you should be more worried about this fact than everyone being against you. Burnley have a young team and some of the players looked good today, but can they do that week in and week out? Why were there so many gaps in the crowd today, this was surely a big game and I would have expected more home support.
I wont be watching it tonight I dont have time for Third rate Pundits like Claridge who is worst pundit on the BBC ever Fact of the matter is we were the better team you got lucky on major second half referee calls yes Grant should have gone the fact is if our pen was given or O'Dea was sent off we would have won. But its gone i cant change history now, we need to bounce back on Tuesday or thanks to Kilbys 18 months of mismangement we will be looking down a barrel.
If Grant had been sent off or that other guy who went in 2 footed twice, then we would have won anyway... you got as many decisions as you lost, so it's not an excuse. You lost because we're one of the best finishing teams in the league regardless of how crap the rest of our game is. Goals win games. You lost, get over it.
Tripier shouldve been sent off n odeas tackle was just like your centre backs in the first half on keogh!!!! Great teams win when they play ****
yeah i admit we were **** today and were sucked far 2 in to the centre of midfield. But in the 2nd half we changed the formation and played with complete width and burnley couldnt deal with us! our passing for the last 20 minutes should have been like that for the full 90. Either way burnley were the better team in the 1st and we were the better team in the 2nd. On a another note, anybody seen the crazy blackburn goal!
