I hope we get you in the final if we get there cos Leeds showed what a bunch of cheating bastards they are, and that will have give our team all the motivation we need for Wembley!

Skruff Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Looks to me like he grabs his shirt in a very aggressive way. Not punching? But tilted glasses and all that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vive_La_Villa Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 I have to admit I’m suprised no punishment for Hourihane. He was quite aggressive and I can see why Leeds fans might be upset about the decision. Oh well, f**k em! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But i would have thought "excessive force" in that situation was any force at all, didnt need to touch him. Anyway little point debating it tbf now, just feels like once again to us another seemingly clear (to us) situation of violent conduct has gone against us. Ignoring your last point, which under the circumstances is a bit silly especially considering Cooper should have walked for his 'tackle' on Grealish well before any of this, I agree any force at all there is excessive and I'm surprised Conor hasn't been retrospectively banned. I think there are some claret and blue specs glued to faces in this thread. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted April 30, 2019 Share Posted April 30, 2019 Little confused. Grealish going down for being fouled, Leeds fan saying the games gone soft. A little belly grab and it's now excessive force. Meh, Leeds caused the situation. Bamford is out for two games. No striker for the first leg? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant retort, regardless of the merits of whatever it is you’re disagreeing about. Top marks sir. Btw Dick is a good man. as for the actual subject, Bamford is a weasel, Bielsa, fair play to him. Football players did what they, sadly, do. All very unedifying. can we move on now? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PieFacE Posted April 30, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted April 30, 2019 That's never a punch. The complete absence of a reaction from the guy being punched is more than enough evidence in itself. Being punched is something you'd naturally react to regardless of the situation, even more so on a football pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mazrim Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 A punch? Really? There might have been more contact in El Ghazis devastating elbow on Babyface. And if Hourihane gets a ban, so should Cooper. Could have been a leg breaker. While we're there, how about action for getting in the refs face every time he legitimately called a foul on the dirty ****. He even missed half of them, including a penalty. The last thing Leeds should feel is hard done by. Jesus Christ. Talk about trying to deflect the issue. Cheating bastard Leeds player gets what he deserves. Actually he should be banned for more than 2 games and made to play in a nappy for 10 games. The biggest laugh I've seen related to all this is that some Leeds fans think there's a conspiracy to keep them in the Championship as they're a cash cow. I shit you not.

briny_ear Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 (edited) Looks like sone Leeds fans haven’t had the email. Leeds official line is “Bielsa is a saint for giving Villa a goal back - he recognises the nobility of the English game and has thus captured the moral high ground”. It really really is a bad idea for Leeds fans to start picking over the details of the 5 minute melee. You may not come out smelling quite so sweet as Bielsa has managed to achieve for you.

Stevo985 Posted May 1, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 1, 2019 I haven't seen anything to suggest Conor threw a punch. That video that keeps getting posted is not a punch. Conor was way too aggressive in that situation, but what people seem to be missing is he got booked for it. The referee saw the incident in general and gave Conor a yellow card. The only thing the EFL can retrospectively punish him for is anything the referee didn't see and therefore didn't punish. If the only thing the referee hasn't seen is that grainy video that doesn't show a punch but some people think is a punch, then it's no surprise no action was taken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funniest thing is that Bielsa obviously thought the goal shouldn't have stood because he gave it back. The player who scored has apologised for it saying he didn't do the right thing. The player who didn't put it out and played the through ball has apologised. Yet the Leeds fans seem to think they're all wrong and it should have stood. Weird.
