Former Premier League referee demands rugby-style VAR reform following Leeds United controversy: VAR is not fit for purpose. Not sure this was a red card offence, but definitely yellow. VAR can only intervene for possible red but ref remiss for not showing yellow after 4 minutes

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

@ArmaghSpurs @ConnorMOT92 No, you are saying it should have been red - I think almost everyone, including the Spurs manager, agrees it should have been yellow which would not have been game changing

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

@HarrisChri99199 @ConnorMOT92 Leeds tend not to play to their best in pre 15.00 kickoffs, but look at the stats. Usually, the team with least possession commits more fouls but Spurs had over 60% possession yet committed 50% more fouls and only 7 shots compared to Leeds 16. Leeds underwhelming? No. Spurs? Yes

@bewarethisboy @ConnorMOT92 Sadly, the refs are also cheating by allowing players to throw themselves to the ground and giving free kicks then after a few dives, giving a yellow to “offending” players for totting up.

@shemag12 @ConnorMOT92 @BBCMOTD If it was the other way round you would be screaming that it wasn’t a red. I admit I am confused why not yellow, but the ref and VAR explained why not red. Just get over it. Your only stats where you exceeded ours were possession, number of fouls and number of cards

@Kershaw444 Some of us remember 1996/97 with George Graham in charge and building from a solid defence. We only scored 28 goals all season but ended 13th because of that defence, keeping a club record 20 clean sheets. Now THAT was a boring year but we had stability and finished 5th next year

@mightywhitesfc @Kershaw444 We have Mills and Njinko in the U21s on fire. Give them a chance and mix it up. Farke won’t trust “kids” but others do. Lorimer was only 15 and Milner 16 when they debuted, if they are good enough they are old enough

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

@NotCellium @Kershaw444 The way Bijol played last week, definitely keep Elvedi in. Hopefully Rodon will be fit for a sub appearance on Saturday to ease him back in. Defo need Okafor back asap

@ConnorMOT92 Bloody early ok again! Have we EVER won a 12.30?

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

https://t.co/deodtfR7nC So why is it that our U18 and U21 players are seen as really good but get no chances when our first team players aren’t doing it? Arsenal trust a 16 year old (who has a PL goal) but the likes of Mills and Njinko get no trust. If they are so good play them!

Leeds player ratings vs Bournemouth: James Trafford dismal, 7/10 teammate the standout man: Is it coincidente that if we win, our worst player rates 6 or 7, but if we lose the ratings are mostly 5 or less, even if we were the better team

@Kershaw444 My first time at ER was the old div 2 way back in 1957! Disappointed every time we got relegated but stuck with them ever since and cheered every promotion. This guy is just a fair weather supporter who has no right to call himself a supporter

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

@LeedsZone_ The problem here is that the panel have given serial offender Maguire Carte Blanche to break someone’s neck! The panel judged the challenge by O’Niens on Struijk last year to have been an incorrect decision and should have been a pen and Maguire’s was as bad. Bias towards scum?

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

@Kershaw444 No game time, how can we judge Bahoya? I have been saying for ages that Aaronson is overrated, especially by Farke. I know managers have their favourites, but it is beyond favouritism with this man

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

@Kershaw444 Some enforced but still a strong squad.

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

How come scum raised their game away from home to us then collapsed at home against bottom 3 Bournemouth

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

@Xtremefootage 100% the driver. What makes him think it is ok to cut across like that?

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

@MrBlackFo0tball The ref and VAR are equally at fault. Red every day and all the way

[MOT in PT @DavidFr83834521]

@LyricalBen My thoughts and best wishes are with you as well as your Dad. I hope he pulls through. ALAW

@BarclaysGeremi @Kershaw444 That’s why I said DF is training him properly! He had issues at Everton, I suspect due to training, but missed only 3 games last year, and 2 were down to fitness due to no pre-season. He has missed just one of the last 42 PL games so that doesn’t indicate ongoing injury issues
