splendidrush 700 Posted May 16, 2019 I've been following LUTV this year and the entitlement is astonishing. Of course since they lost, Connor and Joe are conspicuous by their absence. Not good enough, if you're going to run a Channel for your fans, you have an obligation to cover all the games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Woodman 92 Posted May 16, 2019 5th and 6th in the final - I do feel a bit for WBA and Leeds, Derby 20 points behind us, Villa 18 points. For the first 2/3rds of the season, they did play some great stuff. Could be a bit tasty next season if, as I expect, FLDC don't go up - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48293097 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted May 16, 2019 Generally I think the 3rd place team does better in the playoffs than the ones lower down, but it's rare that a top 2 team has imploded like Leeds and ended up down into 3rd so close to the end of the season. It's amazing that Leeds spent more weeks in the top 2 than any other team all season, including City ! Of course, it only actually matters being top 2 at week 46, which they weren't !! So no surprise that Leeds yet again defied the odds by failing to get through after winning the first leg way from home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted May 16, 2019 I do like that both clubs used poetic licence with the Oasis Stop Crying Your Heart Out to wind each other up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canarydan23 4,060 Posted May 16, 2019 If the EFL financial fair play rumours are to be believed, the playoff final could be even bigger than it normally is for the two clubs involved. Both have apparently attracted the attention of EFL investigators for potential infringements of the rules, Derby's "sale" of the ground looks particularly sketchy. They'll be emboldened by the no nonsense approach the governing bodies are talking over Chelsea and Man City. It could be a case of the winner gets Premier League football and immunity from the EFL, the loser starts next season cut adrift at the bottom of the table with a points deduction.

It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted May 16, 2019 The BBC have a link about that Oasis song which Leeds picked up after they were 1-0 up from the 1st leg, a trifle prematurely perhaps, and not surprising Derby have since returned the favour... https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/48293097 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They claim the match was rigged, despite nearly crippling two of the opposition. There were two controversial decisions. A Lorimer shot was ruled out because Bremner (I think it was) was deemed to be offside. That was probably arguable either way, but there was a stonewall penalty (the saintly Beckenbauer tripping Clarke) that wasn't given. It was an era when referees were bought, but generally it was Italian clubs that did the buying. It is just as possible that the referee couldn't bring himself to give a penalty against Beckenbauer. This happens in the Premier League, with star players getting away with it, particularly against smaller clubs. Re Waccoe, I read on another Leeds forum that, yes, it does have some, er. characters posting, with colourful opinions colourfully expressed, but to its credit does a good job raising money for charity.

The penalty seemed clear enough but, who can say they would've scored (Ok, Lorimer didn't miss many) or Bayern still didn't score two or more. They always gloss over the career-ending tackles of Andersson and Hoeness too. Their sense of misplaced injustice has been a shadow over them for almost 50 years and isn't helping their cause much now either. We wouldn't take nearly as much joy in their failures if they didn't carry round their conspiracy squit quite so readily.
