It's cheating in the same way that the wall creeping forward is cheating, it's gamesmanship and happens every game Put it alongside a throw in taker not taking the throw in where the ball goes out, it is on the ref but are they really even trying to stop it?

It is cheating. But yes, up to the officials to stop it. VAR for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VAR for example. Disagree "Cheating" is too strong, its gamesmanship and its very common, you can make an argument for him doing the white line but the actual moving of the ball isn't that big a thing, forest should have shifted their wall to suit but they weren't paying attention This is only a fuss because it's toney coming off his ban, if villa did it we would say absolutely nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GlobalVillan Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Could do with Sheffield United getting something from the game today. West Ham being just 6 behind with us still to go to the tax payers stadium, is a bit too close for comfort for me. I doubt they will catch us, but would be good to see them knocked back a bit, as 6th is the one place we don't wanna end up after such a great year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like has been said before, we need to consentrate on winning games not what others are doing, especially Wet Spam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Django_Zooms Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Sheffield United have lacked a goalscorer and the means of getting him the ball, including Archer. It will be interesting to see whether Brereton-Diaz proves more effective than the £24 million vacuum that is Rhian Brewster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We" don't need to concentrate on anything. We are just fans on a forum. I am sure the players are focused but me saying I would prefer West Ham to lose is entirely acceptable and has no bearing on anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HongKongVillan Posted January 21 VT Supporter Share Posted January 21 It's not a Leeds game without handbags before thrown, or over exaggerated dive. Oh, Bumford got booked for being a right word removed. Nothing change there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuwabatake Sanjuro Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 West Ham are fairly depleted today, Sheff Utd really need to take advantage. Would be nice to keep a 10 point cushion over them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some people just weren't convinced that Duran deserved to be ahead of him in the pecking order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 Sheffield United look so poor, especially in attack. Can't say West Ham looks a whole lot better so far, I know they've been hit by AFCON but still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
