Leeds climbed back into the top six with a comprehensive yet uninspiring performance, against a disjointed QPR side, as clueless as Gareth Ainsworth fashion sense (either that or he got dressed in the dark). Reaching the half-way line was a joyous occasion for the two QPR commentators, who knew as much about the Leeds players as the Hoops knew about attacking.

When Leeds took the lead through Summerville after just nine minutes after a clever ball by Rutter, many assumed the floodgates will open, and the Whites would chalk up a scoreline synonymous with Headingley; yet for all their dominance, they only managed three shots on target all night!

Along with the Bermuda Triangle, and Loch-Ness Monster, puzzled historian will look back on last night's match at Elland Road always wondering how Daniel Farke's men only scored once; but it's difficult to criticise too much with three points in the bag, and five clean sheets out of six.

I will give you Bamford may have been in fear of their keeper catching him.... but he didn't touch him. So for me there is no reason to go to ground.
Ah well it's all academic and water under the bridge. It's also the controversy that keeps it all interesting :)

At which point does he use his head Kenneth?

You've lost me, but your gardens obviously not large enough.

Case re-opened, court of appeal.

PhoenixUnited wrote: ↑Sat Oct 07, 2023 9:04 am If you look at the action, if PB had not nicked the ball away from the keeper whilst up in the air and tried a swerve instead (not sure how he could do that and still be going for the ball BTW), then in all probability the keeper would be coming flying out as he was, a boot aimed dangerously high at knee or hip height to the forward and might have got the ball and / or PB or perhaps connecting neither. Does not take away the fact that it was dangerous play and anywhere else on the pith should be a Yellow card. The Ref got it wrong thing that Bamford had been clipped and sent the keeper off which I believe has been since rescinded.

In this instance it wasn't a dive by Bamford IMHO and it isn't fair that fingers are pointing at him

How many players in any game today will try and win a free kick for something soft they could easily ride, it's sadly part of the game mainly down to continental soft twats.

Bambi looks like he made a meal of it, he didn't, it looked like a meal though ;-)

Go in your garden for the craic, throw yourself up in the air as if to head a ball, then midair try and twist your body to avoid an imaginary kung-fu challenge coming in and see how you land.

Your neighbours will think you're a feckin spastic and might ring the nutward, but you'll see it's quite a feat to do.

Please report back with your findings :tup:
