@FoxesOlly@Costello3D@martynziegler@_pauljoyce Most (without Leicester bias) thought that 6 points was lenient. Also, if Leicester had received that 6 point deduction in that season the final day mentally shift would have been greater. Leicester would have pressure on their last game, Leeds have less pressure in their game
@Chardgrills@forestmad80 Leicester broke the rules and finished above Leeds the year they got relegated, then the following season Leicester continue to cheat to ‘win’ the Championship and Leeds missed out on top 2 because of it. Double whammy. How Leeds have taken this long is anybody’s guess!
@saintspins@jomur4 No, like with fielding an ineligible player in cup games, Southampton are removed from the competition and the other team goes through. It’s certainly not new. And, however minor you think the infringement it can determined an advantage was unfairly gained so yes,Boro go through
@SimonWarrenSFC@mattletiss7@AlfieHouseEcho If £150m is the prize for winning the competition and you’ve admitted to cheating in said competition, surely the only reasonable conclusion is that you are taken out of the competition and the chance to win the prize?
@G_Man_Baker@mou19645 That’s what Maddison said and he absolutely would say that seeing as he was trying to influence the decision his way. In my eyes, the ref gave what he thought was the correct decision and VAR either agreed or didn’t have evidence to the contrary. Absolutely not a penalty
@G_Man_Baker@mou19645 He has history of that exact same dive. His left leg goes completely stiff for no reason. It’s not what someone naturally does if really tripped. Ref seemed to think the Leeds player won the ball, not enough evidence to confirm either way so on field decision stands.
@FractusPontus@UKsmiffyinOZ@henrywinter Well, its any teams provocative to work on new tactics, formations, set pieces not previously used before to try and catch an opposition out. But these things they work in the privacy are exactly that; private. Theres even rules against spying. Saints literally have no defence
@CS83087@radio_bellers@GrahamSmyth Not giving Leeds a penalty when O’Nien got Struijk in a headlock and threw him to the ground. Sunderland’s C team can also cheat yeah?
@CS83087@radio_bellers@GrahamSmyth Officials have apologised to Leeds for their failures in the game that Sunderland won at Leeds. All stats suggest that Sunderland’s performance would have them in bottom 3 in any other seasons. They done well in some sense to pick up more than performances have deserved
@forder_tom@henrywinter That’s a funny take. Stealing an advantage by cheating to edge out a very close tie. A guilt verdict will make it VERY easy to come to the conclusion cheating played the all important factor. Saints simply cannot be allowed to go to Wembley if guilty
@85JJB@StokeyyG2 It was in about 2019 if you are referring to Leeds. Leeds didn’t actually break a rule (a rule is now subsequently in place), and had someone stand on a public footpath. Southampton actually trespassed and recorded their training (whilst breaking the new rule). It’s v different
@DianeGreen_thfc Spurs moan about injuries (which is partially self inflicted due to design of training sessions etc) whilst still having an exceptional side available that out values a Leeds side position by position
@ProTottenham @stackswhippedit You also had 2 players bundle our goalkeeper into the net and held him down to let Harry Kane push a Leeds defender over and tap into an empty net. VAR with the assist and ultimately hand you the game 😆
@Superspurs131 @LewisJDelaney Bar the god awful performance at Wembley against Chelsea, Leeds have been playing out of their skins and will be very up for this Spurs game. Farke will never let a team play like a team already on the beach; especially when they aren’t mathematically safe (depends on Sunday)
