i presume it was when we lost to wba in the early 70s over a controversial off side cost us the title and against wolves in 72 made to play a couple days after the final.

Leeds were losing 1-0 into the last five minutes, Terry Cooper was adjudged to be offside as we thought we'd scored an equaliser, then we had a free-kick on the edge of the box. Lorimer steps up & hits a thunderbolt into the top corner of the net, Leeds fans go wild only for the official Ken (b*st*rd) Burns to disallow the goal because the Chelsea wall wasn't ten yards back
We were robbed of at least five trophies in the Revie-era, the hatred for Leeds stemmed further than just the other clubs & their supporters
Don't get me started about the European Cup Final in'75
Certainly not paranoia Cjay, you weren't around to dispute it mate
No i know, i can only go on what im told.1964white wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 1:50 pm Certainly not paranoia Cjay, you weren't around to dispute it mate
All the diabolical decisions, disallowed goals, referees names, venue & year are still in my memory-box & will remain there until the day I die.
It was bordering on criminal mate & by golly it hurt to think we'd been cheated out of a game which ultimately cost us trophies
We appeared in four FA Cup Finals & not robbed in any of themCjay wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 1:59 pm No i know, i can only go on what im told.
Like i can watch the games and i can see yes they were physical but they played some lovely stuff, not just a "dirty" side at all i can see that for myself.
But the "cheated" stuff i can only go on what people like you and others say, other fans would call it paranoia and sour grapes tiz all im saying, not saying it is at all, just i can see both sides because i dont have 1st hand knowledge.
I can see from reading we were runner up a heck of a lot.
3 FA Cups, an INter City Fairs Cup, 5 league titles!!!!!!1
Had things been a bit different Revie would have been a 4 time FA Cup WInner and a 8 time First Division winner
Would have been the 2nd most successful league title winner in English Football history
I was there to see it and I believe you are mostly correct. Leeds were hated and there were some very dubious decisions went against them. At the same time they definitely under achieved given the quality of the team. You have to give Revie a lot of credit for getting the team to the top but by the same reasoning he has to be accountable for not winning more.
perfectly summed up .
Says we were runners up in 64/65 69/70 and 72/73 so we must have been in 4 with the one we won?
Thats sort of what i thought.BobHirst wrote: ↑Thu Oct 04, 2018 3:14 pm I was there to see it and I believe you are mostly correct.
