TIL 1010 4,745 Posted April 28, 2019 Never thought i would say it but at least one man in Leeds showed a lot of class today and that was Jack Duckworth, i mean Bielsa. As for posters saying never seen anything like it before allowing the equaliser i seem to remember a similar situation years ago at Arsenal v Sheff Utd at Highbury and a throw in leading to a goal. All rather sketchy but i am sure somebody will recall it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They had zero chance of catching Sheff Utd, so what did he have to lose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That match was "replayed" after Arsenal recognised that Kanu should have returned the ball to Blades keeper after he had cleared out for a throw to allow treatment to injured player. Kanu set up Overmars to score what would have been a winner. Arsenal board agreed to a rematch before the first match ended - if Wenger had done a "Bielsa" it may have saved a lot of expense. Instead Arsenal won the replay easily. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KeiranShikari 1,410 Posted April 28, 2019 Remember Leroy Fer scoring one of those goals which go against the 'unwritten rules'. Ref just ruled it out though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wasn't it Swansea? Whilst Fer shouldn't have done it, I don't agree with the ref ruling it out, as I don't think it's against any rules. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Northluck C 29 Posted April 28, 2019 There was nearly a similar thing in our game against Cardiff a few years ago when Fer put the ball in when everyone else had stopped. In that instance the ref disallowed it for having not blown his whistle for the throw in (a technicality) but it would’ve probably been a let them walk a goal in situation had ours stood.

HertsCanary93 222 Posted April 28, 2019 It's bad enough to dive like that in the first place. It isn't like he made the most out of something, it was genuinely nothing. What makes it so low though - is that he did it in the aftermath of one of the most unsportsmanlike goals I have ever seen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Budapest Canary 152 Posted April 28, 2019 Draw is a perfect result as it cements Villa to their current league position, regardless of the result against us. As in football if there is a result that suits both sides, it ususlly happens, a draw at Villa Park seems likely... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hank shoots Skyler 2,094 Posted April 28, 2019 Dive or not, El Ghazi still swung his elbow out, can’t see it being rescinded as the intent was there, doesn’t really matter how much of a **** Bamford was being in starting it and then play acting... although I hope he gets a ban too the absolute briefcase. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
First Wazzock 902 Posted April 28, 2019 All of these sort of problems stem from the Ref. He has, I believe, to make the decision to stop the game if he feels a player is injured. As far as I am concerned, if he doesn't blow to stop the game you should play on, it's not up to players or managers as to when the game should be halted.
