KentVillan Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Banned for 2 games: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48140118 Quote Leeds striker Patrick Bamford has been banned for two matches by the Football Association after being found guilty of "successful deception of a match official" in the draw with Aston Villa. Hilarious news, but not sure it actually hinders Leeds that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, what? They tried to argue that because Bielsa did something 'good' that Bamford should just be let off? That's just nonsense. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great argument from them, next time one of our players gets sent off I hope we refer to x amount of years ago when they did a good deed. It's full proof.

If the coach "demands" for his players to behave this way, that is not an extraordinary act of sportsmanship. Its an act of a coach telling off his players for wanting to engage in disgusting behaviour. Its unbelievable how twisted their statement is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically if your player does something terrible, just quickly do something really nice afterwards and there's no punishment. "Whelo, go and snap Hernandez' legs into pieces. Don't worry you won't get sent off, we'll make a donation to charity and take a ball boy to McDonalds afterwards" 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 And the free goal was payback for their unsportsmanlike behaviour for their goal, NOT for Bamford faking a punch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nigel Posted May 3, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted May 3, 2019 Bielsa raises a good point in his arguement to see connor punished too. He says that it will dissuade other players not to play act if they know that they are likely to alter the way punishment is handed out. (Talking about klich not going down was the reason it wasn't punished) However I think that horse has well and truly bolted now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Difference is, Klich was actually hit (wasn't a punch in my view but for argument's sake let's say it is). There's a big difference between making the most of something that did happen and completely inventing something that didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
