Article: Watford V Leeds united, match thread Watford FC Football

Dirty? What game were you watching?

 

One word 'Heartbroken'

Only hope we can pick ourselves up for the play-offs

U'Orns

 

So when your defender did exactly the same to Poleon in the lead up to his goal, that's not Watford being just as bad? Get to **** you bitter little ****

Not to mention inmate Deeney's leg breaker challenge on Brown!

You've got some nerve

 

Bit daft of Barnsley really, they needed a win to be absolutely sure.

 

it was after the Peterborough game had finished mate

 

I remember watching a game between AC Milan and Bari a few years back. Bari needed a draw to stay up. AC scored and it was very clear they weren't supposed to - Bari equalised almost immediately and then they just both played keeop balll for the last 20 minutes. it was unreal!

 

Then yeah they should both get ****ed in the arse for it. Or rather, Huddersfield should. Barnsley holding possession any way they can knowing a draw is enough is standard practice and isn't match fixing, simply playing for the draw. Huddersfield failing to put pressure on them is fixing the match, when a Huddersfield win would have sent Barnsley down. If I were Peterborough I'd be pressing charges against Huddersfield.

 

Germany v Austria in the WC a number of years ago did the same!

 

Can we still get a keeper in on an 'Emergency' loan ?

 

That's Italy, match fixing is commonplace.

 

I know but it was very weird to actually see it as it was happening.

 

It's disgraceful. Italy should be banned from European football until they sort it out. If Mafia want to get involved in European affairs then just send the military in to wipe the despicable horrible ****s out. Absolute scum of the earth.

 

Hard luck lads, I thought we just about deserved the win in the end but that must be heartbreaking for you. I don't really think your young keeper can be blamed for either goal, for me the first was the defender's fault and McCormack's finish would have beaten anyone who isn't a giant.

I don't think Watford fans can really say anything about "Dirty Leeds", although by the looks of things only a couple are. Every striker has done something like Poleon did early on, what came from it was terrible but a yellow card was fair, and we had an equal penalty claim when Varney was nearly booted in the face.

I was absolutely delighted with the commitment of our players and and quite frankly surprised at how little Watford seemed to want the win for large swathes of the second half, and I thought for much of the game you would have thought we were the team with everything to play for.

Overall the game showed great promise for our season to come, and I wish Watford the best of luck in the play-offs.

 

Cheers simon. I think we were a bit overwhelmed by the occasion today which doesn't bode well for the play offs. No calls of dirty leeds form me - it was an accident and one of those things - just typical it happened today of all days.....

 

With nothing to play for, our players could have crumbled under the late pressure exerted by Watford when they found out the Hull result. I was very impressed with how hard working and industrial our players were in the final stages, even with nothing to play for. They really wanted that away win.

Great way for us to finish the season, banished the last of the Warnock demons, at least until the transfer window opens. Scored in the first half and won away from home! Brilliant

 

This is appreciated more than you can ever know.

 

Yeah mate, every forward has shoved a defender and no doubt Poleon will be the first player checking how Bond is. I can understand your fans' anger at Poleon, as I would expect from us if it was the other way round, but I think a yellow card and a stern word was fair punishment and he'll know the dangers of that sort of thing in the future. I don't think him scoring, and in the way he did, helped endear him to your fans either!

 

You took it to the wire and now I would love you to win the play offs...desperately unlucky for you to lose out on auto.

I think we can agree Cardiff and Leeds did all we could to make the contest fair.

best of luck,

jck

 

He's not on my Christmas card list this year!

 

No worries, still lots of time for you to change your mind.
