Watched MOTD last night and all I can say is that the decision (or non decision) was an utter farce. When footballing laws override basic common sense then something has gone clearly wrong.
My armpit doesn't extend half way down my upper arm. Any short sleeved shirt I have ever worn has sleeves that extend way below the armpit.
If they are boing to use the armpit line then, rather than use it to define a line across the upper arm when the arm is hanging down by the side of the body, they should use a vertical line with the arm extended out at 90 degrees to the body. The arm should be defined as the area of the limb that can be independently moved away from the torso.
Maybe we should start using Aussie Rules style kits which are more like tank tops/sleeveless vests. If the ball touches skin its handball....would be a lot fairer that what we see now.

The decision was not a farce, it was absolutely correct; the law on the other hand...

This is what gets me everytime. people blame VAR and the officials but the Law is poor. same every time its needs changing but has been in 2 years now and people still arent used to it

Overdue, many would say. I accept Leeds have had their share of injuries to key players, but Bielsa’s stubborn insistence on going man-to-man, despite glaring evidence that it doesn’t work, led to his demise.
Leeds needed to act before it’s too late.

I liked Leeds football, and they clearly played it well
However second season syndrome, plus injuries hit you need to change your approach or risk it all
Problem I see is that Leeds are so drilled in his way can a new manager change it in time to save them from the drop? I hope so .. Leeds are a good team and deserve to be at the top level

When Bielsa was at a Club in Argentina his team were not playing well and some fans came to his house to confront him. He came to the door with a shot gun and they left rapidly. Just a warning!

Look at our February record for the previous 3 seasons. It’s almost identical apart from the number of goals conceded.
The only people who wanted him gone were fans of other teams, pundits and Leeds fans who joined in the recent hype.
I don’t know of a single long standing fan who thinks this was the right thing to do. Many like me are disgusted that the club has sacked him.
I would rather be in the Championship with Bielsa as our manager then the Premier League without.
The board need to shoulder the responsibility for the lack of recruitment. I think they are in for a rather hostile reception at the next home game.
It was a hand grenade

Problem is with him at the helm you would almost defo be gone, but then you would also lose phillips .. raphinha and prob bamford
without them would you stay up in the championship?

We’ll almost definitely go down now. I’d be more confident of it turning around by sticking with the manager.
Raph will be gone anyway. We’ll just get more for him if we stay up.
Philips was 50/50 either way. Some of the others would stay. I’m sure we’ll be fine in the Championship. It’s more entertaining down there anyway ?

Agree the champ is more entertaining
I see us returning for Phillips and selling rice..unless signing Phillips shows him we are serious about progressing but I doubt it

I did qualify my statement by immediately saying...When footballing laws override basic common sense then something has gone clearly wrong.
The decision was a farce because it is supported by a farcical law.

If you want to compete with the top 6, you have to spend like them. Not sign a load of kids and send them to Grasshoppers.
Team needed changing after Thursday and the squad just isn't deep enough.

Hand on heart. Did it really need changing to “A Shirt sleeve is the cut off point between handball or not”. Did it heck.
