Alabama huh, welcome.

I hope you're black, or at the very least, young and non racist, although old and non racist is even better.

What brings you to follow LUFC Dappy, btw are you ex pat or native Indian ?

Welcome.

I think you'll find they make Americans comfortable here (as I can attest), unless you say something stupid (as I can attest).

To be fair, though, say something stupid and you'll hear about it no matter where you're from.

Maybe we aim for a meetup in Nashville?

Take a good penalty and the keper has no chance. Whereas with a Panenka or various other ones it gives the keeper a chance. It all depends though on how good the penalty taker is at putting it right in the corner.

The BHA penalty yesterday was exactly how and where i put ALL mine.

I don't even like the thought of what Summerville did yesterday, it flies in the face of the manager if he has insisted how he wants them taken.

If i was a keeper these days i'd stand still until he strikes the ball, then dive if i have to. Watch all the next penalties you see on tv, i'll bet the keeper would've saved more doing this than not, because so many are struck shite these days and without conviction.

Coz we were 2-0 up yesterday when he scored, a part of me after seeing it, was wishing the keeper just stood still and caught it, and he then look a proper twat, and yes if that was done at 0-0 i'd be feckin livid.

If you cannot strike a ball firm and slightly off the ground from 12yds, static, you quite simply shouldn't be the one taking it.

Btw, i think Firpo would hit a good penalty myself.

You're American John? I just thought you had a friend called Louisiana!

Behave

Hugill could have walked for his challenges on Rodon & Rutter.

A couple of poor challenges from Revan, one on Gnonto which should have resulted in a penalty, somehow the referee gave a goal-kick.

What is it with Joseph who has committed a needless foul when coming on in his three sub appearances, it had Farke shaking his head, yesterday.

Two fouls from Cresswell agitated Farke too.

All three fouls put us under pressure in the last few minutes, with Meslier having to make his only two saves in the game, plus one ball scrambled away from a danger area.

Tony Dorigo made the point about both on commentary. About the inexperience and naivety. Also suggesting that if Cresswell wnats to be first back up, he needs to avoid doing that.

Farke was talking to both after the whistle. And that was probably the subject.

Farke's face was like thunder.

Anyone notice the Rotherham captain Morrison prior to taking a long throw, giving our fans the Leeds salute

Yes, wasn’t sure if he was taking the piss or not

More and more he shows what a great manager/coach he is. Really big on the details. I love how he talks to his players immediately after the game, while something is still fresh.

You can also look at how he's made people like Summerville a better all round player. His defensive work is way above what it was under Marsch. The whole team is schooled and organized a lot better now.

Often as a sub it takes a few minutes to get up to match speed as such easy to be late in a tackle. Or possibly so keen to impress that you just get a bit too enthusiastic to win the ball.

I think in commentary they said the Rotherham manager was a Leeds fan but maybe they said captain.

Aye and follow through a kick the kicker as well.
