Good things far outweighed the bad. We played far better than a play off team who thanks to a crap ref and lino had us a man disadvantage, and gave us nothiinng all day. BHA are supposed to be an attractive passing side, well we were more attractive and we out passed them . We were well and truly robbed today. Bad things' Morison is worse than we even thought, Varney is still ****e. WE will be right up there next year as long as Morison is disposed of and replaced.
It's good to hear that we are now a passing side, even if this means we lose a few games whilst we adapt. As you will all remember I hated Warnock and his 'style' of football, it nearly made me quit watching football forever. Results didn't really matter today, it was about how we played and I can't help feel we have a season to look forward to in 2013/2014
Laws of the Game excerpt: Sending-off offences A player, substitute or substituted player is sent off if he commits any of the following offences: •using offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures Diouf has only himself to blame. Fans too should be looking at him, not elsewhere.
Good to hear we played better. Not good that Lees seemed to give the first goal away (imagine what Colin would have said!). Not good that Austin got sent off. Not good that Diouf did something really stupid and got sent off. Not good that once again we concede a header within the 6 yard area. Nevertheless, like most, I feel very positive for next season! MOT!!!!!!!
I would doubt McDermott would allow Diouf off with a little chat, so his actions today will get the reaction from the club, it deserves. As McDermott is a gentleman and a good man manager, he will keep what action he carries out within the team and not the media.
Agree totally chippie diouf was responsible for the loss mind,stupid thing to do n we all expected this to happen earlier on in the season
"that again." Or did you mean: "Good to hear we played better." OR "Nevertheless, like most, I feel very positive for next season!"
How bad is the BBC? http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/22228975 "But an incident during Diouf's celebration, in which he appeared to make a gesture towards the away fans, meant the striker was dismissed " "75:02 Dismissal El-Hadji Diouf is sent off by the referee for violent conduct"
Today's refereeing performance stinks of a man who overcompensates for his lack of ability to assert his authority. Absolutely disgraceful, should not referee again.
Do you want the list? Their players were pulling, pushing, elbowing our players all game, diving, throwing themselves to ground over nothing, often without so much as a free kick being given. Austin's red was not a red, it was a tussle in which their scumbag player who had already been booked for rugby tackling Austin earlier in the game grabbed his face and threw himself to the ground. During one of our more promising attacks, I counted 3 incidents that were stonewall penalty decisions. A handball, followed by pulling and pushing in the box. Later in the game, more stone wall penalties of pushing and pulling incidents where our players were unable to get to the ball as a result. Obstructions all over the park. Varney given a yellow card for an accidental handball in the box, as a result of being pushed by one of their players - inconsistency, considering the number of hand balls their players were getting away with. Diouf's red card was laughable. Yes he goaded their fans, but they were goading him and he didn't swear at them or do anything that can be considered "offensive". He was merely being a character, booking at worst. Yet, the meek referee felt the need to "make his mark" on the game by totally dictating proceedings. Can't be having them "dirty Leeds" misbehaving, they've got a reputation for cheating that there's been absolutely no real evidence for since the early 70s, and we all know a reputation for cheating needs to be controlled more than actual players cheating right in front of the referee's ****ing stupid fat incompetent face. The linesmen weren't watching the game half the time. I caught the linesmen staring into space when the ball went out of play on his side, no throw in given. I'm sure I'll remember more as the night goes on. I don't know who I'm more disgraced at, Gus Poyet (who a lot of our fans seem to rate for some reason?) for breeding the cheating cynical mentality into his team, or the referee for getting mugged off by a set of cheating ****s. I think after today I don't want to see that smug south American **** anywhere near my great club. Not having any of that gamesmanship at Leeds. Disgusting, awful behaviour.
Agree with you Marko. You're quite self-restrained in your assessment. On another thread I said that I thought the ref got the red card decisions correct. I've since seen the Austin & Brighton defender replays & both were yellows at best. Diouff I didn't see, but hear he grabbed his dick in front of the Brighton fans. Don't feel it should have been red. Yellow at best, but tbh, if it happened against us, i'd have been howling for red. You're right about the linesmen. Some of their decisions were awful & sooooo obviously wrong. It was happening right in front of us & everyone could see when the ball was in/out apart from the ref & linesmen. Sadly, every single wrong decision went against us. If he was being paid to be biased against us, then he gave excellent value for money. You couldn't make some of it up!
