First on match of the day... Wow

 

[james2b]

Fulham c@nt
That's all

Think it goes back to his Crewe days to be honest, still a “Knob” ?

 

[wibs]

Wow. That is unbelievable that the VAR man.didn't show the referee the view that clearly showed Willock being pushed into the keeper.

Some awful VAR stuff today.

 

[Berkobee]

First on match of the day... Wow

For the THIRD time this season (so far).

 

[Simon C]

Danny Murphy “ Knob “ really does not like us ?

I get the feeling he wakes up in the morning, looks in the mirror and has exactly the same reaction

The miserable ***** doesn't belong anywhere near a camera

 

[Leonardo]

You mean the Crewe days when he was still young when he orchestrated against us at Wembley in a magnificent individual performance? Say what you like but he had a terrific career

 

[horshambees]

I think the director for the programme needs replacing. They need to tell Lineker to shut up and get onto next match as they always run out of time for the last match.

They seem to fit them all in to the schedule.

 

[JANORAK]

Danny Murphy “ Knob “ really does not like us ?

Generally, I quite like his analysis of games, except when it comes round to us! Everything becomes grudging and faintly praised.

 

[Stanley]

The whole MoTD format needs a shakeup including new presenters. It needs to be sharper and more dynamic. Its currently very boring. But as its the BBC they will just plod on with it ad nauseum.

If VAR corrected mistakes, and minimally interrupted "the game" - I'd be a fan..

But VAR in its current state .. interruptions are too long, decisions are all over the place.. - in current state, I'd rather accept the mistakes and a fluid running game..

Be careful what you wish for..Look at some of the pundits Sky and BT employ.

Well, yesterday's scoreline would have been 3-2 then, with Wissa scoring the late winner!

And how good would that have been!! ??

The last few minutes would certainly have been more nail-biting than they were!

I’d disagree. It’s not perfect but in that Saturday night slot, I suspect the relaxed nature of it all appeals to many. More often than not I’m watching it from the sofa whilst fighting with myself not to fall asleep (sometimes after a few vinos) but I’m not sure I’d bother if it was too ‘heavy’ on analysis, tactics and generally more dynamic etc. There are others shows for that on at better time.

 

[Bigruss]

The last few minutes would certainly have been more nail-biting than they were!

That’s for sure!!

 

[ScanBeeNavian]

Well, yesterday's scoreline would have been 3-2 then, with Wissa scoring the late winner!

Which means my prediction would have been spot on

Kidding aside, in our game VAR use was spot on

 

[Wise old Bee]

Is it me or are there a lot of references re. Brentford on MOTD that we are obdurate, hard to play against, uncompromising etc.? Nothing wrong with that, but I get the impression that we are being portrayed as a sort of thinking man's Sheffield United and other aspects of our play are being ignored.

 

[alikat]

Kidding aside, in our game VAR use was spot on

If I'd been a Leeds fan (God forbid!), I'd have been pretty disappointed about the penalty that they didn't get, but, that aside, VAR was indeed used and applied correctly IMO.

I can still barely believe we’re on it let alone being first and having the big name players of my youth like Lineker and Shearer who’d probably hardly been aware of our existence back then going on about how brilliantly we played. If you want boring, remember waiting until past midnight to watch the 30s of Endsleigh league highlights by the time they got to us as not even being nearly the most interesting game in the third or fourth tier.

Why is it necessary? Mistakes are part of the game - ask Bamford.

Used to love Endsleigh league extra. Great scenes of celebration on sparsely populated terraces. Always quite easy to spot myself and others ?
Simpler times…

My son was pleased to see himself celebrating Mbeumo’s goal yesterday - he stood out as he was wearing his green Raya shirt but we stand too far to the side of the goal to often get in shot.

 

[johndub]

I wouldn’t.

 

[Inappropriate Smilies Bee]

Stitched us up again putting us on first when nobody’s home in time. Best to put us on last when trains are disrupted & everyone’s out celebrating. Brilliant day yesterday. Hope MOTD does us justice.

 

[JANORAK]

The problem with having 8(eight) games yesterday, and we have had a cracker, is that only half the highlights make the edit. KLP had three chances, they showed 1 of them. Wissa had another right at the death. Ivan had another free kick that kissed the crossbar - only made the analysis, and there’s probably more I’m missing…

 

[JohnOmarasShorts]

If I'd been a Leeds fan (God forbid!), I'd have been pretty disappointed about the penalty that they didn't get, but, that aside, VAR was indeed used and applied correctly IMO.

If VAR was properly used then it would have been a foul outside the area not a penalty.

The penalty wouldn't have been given to us yesterday without VAR that's for sure

 

[Simon C]

It wouldn't but with the way VAR is used today are you sure it gets given everytime irrespective of who is watching and who the ref is? I'm not and that is why VAR is currently failing

 

[A Real Mysteron]

If VAR was properly used then it would have been a foul outside the area not a penalty.

VAR wouldn’t award a free kick unless the ref had mistakenly given a penalty.

 

[alikat]

If VAR was properly used then it would have been a foul outside the area not a penalty.

I reckon that it would have been a penalty as refs rarely give free kicks for shirt tugs and Aaron clearly clipped his opponent's leg in the penalty area.

 

[TeeJayBee]

Aaron clearly clipped his opponent's leg in the penalty area.

Yes but that was after the opponent had slowed and started dropping/ diving to buy the pen / con the ref (imho) ala Maddison.

There must be a reason why on field and VA refs both agreed no pen.

 

[alikat]

In theory, there must be a reason, but I'm not convinced by your suggested one.

 

[jlove]

There must be a reason why on field and VA refs both agreed no pen.

That was our assumption, that the ref thought it was just a tangle, highlighted by their player's stop and fall, and that the VAR ref agreed there was no clear and obvious error.

 

[CTBee]

If VAR was properly used then it would have been a foul outside the area not a penalty.

In which case VAR was used correctly. It is not there to award free kicks for fouls outside of the area. If it checked every incident for a foul we'd all be there about 4 hours.

The mistake was by the on field ref, he should have spotted Hickey's shirt pull and awarded a free kick to Leeds and a yellow card.

 

[Invipai]

It was a foul for sure, but watching it a couple of times on MOTD I think the foul did occur outside of the box, and therefore VAR can't give it. It depends which part of the foul you want to penalise, but the main contact was outside IMO.

 

[BURFORD BEE]

I reckon that it would have been a penalty as refs rarely give free kicks for shirt tugs and Aaron clearly clipped his opponent's leg in the penalty area.

Since he had already started on his theatrical dive he couldn’t do much else but make contact.

 

[Hippobee]

Strange.

Whenever Clayton Donaldson employed the same tactic (slowing down as he ran into the box, waiting for a shove in the back or legs to be tangled), everyone always screamed penalty! And it normally was.

No different from the incident yesterday with Hickey - would have been a soft penalty if it was given, but sometimes they're given and sometimes not.

When he was on talkSPORT with Natalie he constantly reminded her of that game.

One of the biggest 1-0 thrashings I have seen us take.

5-0 wouldn't have flattered them.

BM's goal against Man U included in the August Goal of the Month, but not Josh's at Leicester. ?‍

Very good cameo from @Ashford Bees when Jeremy Kyle gets the red card.

 

[horshambees]

That's not true.
I had 20 minutes in his company and all we spoke about was Brentford and the good things that are going on down there.
I will judge him on that.
Nice bloke too.

 

[horshambees]

For the THIRD time this season (so far).

Still not good enough for some.

That’s purely because in those days gone by the ref didn’t have the benefit of VAR to see that the “foul” had been deliberately engineered and specifically for it to be in the penalty area. Now the ref has the facility to enable him to make a decision which admittedly ( but not in this case) could still be incorrect. Hope this helps.
I’m becoming increasingly fed up by posters who, in their attempt to be fair, offer succour to teams like Leeds and their entitled fans and managers, who thrive on cheating and manipulating officials!.
For the most part the club plays the game in the right spirit and the majority of our fans are fair minded.

But I also think that initially if a penalty was given for the challenge VAR wouldn't have overturned it.
