Anyone see what happened in the Leeds v Villa match? The Leeds goal was apparently controversial and so they allowed Villa to walk a goal in. Did Leeds need to do it? Was it the right thing?

Yes, yes and yes.

Leeds player faked to put it out, except he didn’t and put through the Leeds player on the wing as the Villa defence stopped for a second or two. This was enough for the Leeds guy to gain an advantage. Was a good finish too. Didn’t celebrate or wasn’t allowed to as he was set upon by Villa players. Then it properly kicked off...Terry, Bielsa, etc. Villa player sent off as Bamford fake dived after handbags; that will be reversed. Bielsa ordered his team to let Villa score, except that one player didn’t get the memo and tackled Villa as they tried to score!

Wow, that's bad. Rivaldo esque.

Let's hope he gets a retrospective ban there. It's one the PFA need to look at, members trying to cheat each other like that.

 

[Tashyboy]

Think that's what Fergie called squeaky bum time.

I’m not so sure, it’s on the ref to stop play. In the replay I saw it didn’t look like the Leeds player faked putting it out, he just passed it down the line to his team mate. It can be argued Leeds were morally wrong, but Villa should have played the whistle. What happened after that was just a mess.

Cardboard clappers to help manure create an atmosphere in the ground 😜 will they be coming out to that being sung by Russ Abbott 😂😂

 

[Kellfire]

Aston Villa messed up. Leeds were idiotic to gift them a goal.

Has Lukaku been on a pie and pastie diet? He looks, and is huffing, like a pub player.

 

[Fish]

Our back four is poor, Rudiger second best and Luiz waltzing around at times, Alonso not been on his game for months, not sure why Sarri made some changes, Emerson should have kept his place and RLC should have started ahead of Kov, we’re on the back foot too much.

 

[Slime]

Oh, how we need another goal.

 

[Lord Tyrion]

I've seen the Leeds link from Fish's post. The ref didn't blow, he is in control not the players, and the Leeds lad who ran down the line and scored was probably oblivious. The Villa players near him didn't stop so how was he supposed to know? I'd have sent off the Villa players who assaulted him after scoring. I've only seen it in the clip but that looks generous of Leeds to gift them the equaliser.

 

[Fish]

Oh, how we need another goal.

Why, we’re not threatening for an equaliser.

Surely that should be a red card for Matic if Deeney was sent off ? If only this Man Utd turned up on Wednesday 😀

Edit - what is going on with DDG these days , just crumbled

The same De Gea has

 

[Dan2501]

Oh De Gea. What is happening with him? That’s so poor.
