Rugeley Villa Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 14 hours ago, leighavfc said: Christ If Leeds go up the media and fans will be Liverpool level unbearable..... They are still a big club in my eyes. It’s understandable why there will be a media hype, and also from their fans. It’s been a long time since they were in the top league. It’s like if we were out the top league for 15 years and we looked like being promoted, there would be extra hype because it’s been so long. Leeds have not once made a serious attempt to get back into the prem apart from this season. The last two seasons they have flirted with the idea, and the expectation level has definitely been rising over the last 3 years, but they look the real deal this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Spying on training sessions is not breaking the rules is it? Far worse problems in the game, such as the 'diving' that happens in every single football match, the same 'pundits' up in arms about this spying incident seem to see diving as 'clever player'.

John Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I anticipate a fine for their manager because he does not appear to see any problem with what they have done and might otherwise feel he can do the same again without penalty. Did they do it prior to previous games? Most likely but there will not be any points deduction and last night's result probably suits us as Derby are a more realistic target than Leeds are for us.

There will be some sort of punishment (especially if the story of the police catching him trying to cut through a fence is true). The keeper thing was nasty, I would hope there will be some action. Keepers seem to be allowed to do this thing where they jump with a knee of a foot in front of them as a threat and it's okay - it's one of those odd habits in the game that we need to change - if that's two outfield players going for a head and one has their leg pointed at the other ones head when he jumps it's red - keepers seem able to get away with it. keepers get away with murder and always have. Usually a keeper is praised for wiping out attackers and defenders. Guzan on Dyer was one of the worst instances in recent times with Dyer getting a concussion in what was forgotten because Guzan missed ball and got player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the air keepers are given way too much leeway. But on the ground it’s the opposite. How many times have you seen a studs up collision with the keeper’s body or face and the striker gets away with it because the “ball was there to be won”. That’s never an excuse when it’s a normal tackle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of those football fan sayings (like dinosaur) that have no correlation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
