Looked like he took the Derby player out in one go at the same time.

yeah, he did, but got the ball first, which is what the ref ask the lino. he wasn't out of control, or high, which is will sometimes get an FK & card even when you do get it first, he was ****ing lucky though, another half inch and he would've missed the ball completely.
It's a **** result though, ****ing hate Leeds.

Talksport, the newspapers, sky and the BBC should hang their heads in shsme today as none have given this the attention it deserves ... in fact many have not even mentioned it.

The 2 things that most if not all current football fans remember are Hillsborough and Bradford and for the medis to ignore it (on the whole) is shameful.

and both tragedies are linked by one thing
total and utter indifference , if not contempt ,regarding the safety of the the actual paying customers i.e. us the fans.

A terrible day, with Hillsboro you didn't realise the magnitude of what you were seeing until later, but Braford you knew, I can still remember the guy running on the pitch on fire.

I used to go to grounds in the 80's and the majority of them were deathtraps. I always felt safe at Highbury, mainly because we never had big fences penning fans into the terraces. But so many grounds I went to did and had lots of small gates, steps and turnstiles where bottlenecks would occur.

Add to that the way away fans were treated by the Police, basically as cattle that needed moving from one area to another, and it's no wonder it was dangerous. I remember not being surprised when Hillsborough occurred, it was basically an accident waiting to happen

In the highly unlikely event we are in the promotion mix next season or the far likelier event we are 22nd with six games to go I can’t think of a less appealing away day than Sunderland. Charlton would be ideal but Pompey would do.
