Not having Hayden alongside him had a lot to do with that aswell though I reckon Yep. Also, the lack of movement ahead of him didn't help. This was caused largely by absences of Gayle and to an extent Yedlin but also the rest of the team seemed more nervous second half of the season with some players happy to "hide" from the ball. Shelveys a good passer but he's not a magician and if the players ahead of him are stood still behind a marker he's gonna struggle to open the defence up. As for the poll, Ritchie for me as he's dragged us over the line in the last few months. Second vote for Gayle- 20 goals by January, can't really argue with that!

Would depend on what other issues are still to be decided. Depends on this week's results but likely to be the games involving Birmingham and Blackburn for the last relegation spot?!? Or if Leeds win this week and one of the teams just above them loses then they could still sneak a playoff spot.

Le Tissier 93/94

Patrick Berger was sensational for them that day too. In terms of goalkeeping I couldn't look past Schmeicel in March 96. Won them the league that night.

CM - Mark Kerr vs Arsenal FA Cup 2002 Do you mean Brian Kerr? Or Jamie McClen even.

Please say thats a different Alan Smith on the bench Alan Smith can crop up anywhere! Apart from on the scoresheet?!?

Pen to fulham

BBC Radio Leeds far from convinced by the award of the penalty!

Can't believe we're rigging* a Notts county poll. Honestly, some people are so immature. Voted from phone and laptop. * in fairness, shola's goal is the best of the bunch like

Everyone claiming responsibility. 'And, though the movement may be a near anagram of Vurnon Anita, no they are not relatives​ of United's Dutch midfielder.' :lol:

This. His legs seem to have gone. Wonder if he's 29 in Obafemi Martins years??

It's not an excuse, we lost because we were shit and deserved to get beat. But the referee did give them a helping hand on the way.

Where? Wasn't any near me, with loads of people also having to stand on the stairs. Below you guys behind the goal was empty. Shocking really. Going off at a tangent, what was really weird was at the other end of the stadium every seat directly behind the goal was unsold as well, literally a block of about 20 seats the same size and shape as the goal. Very odd.

Yes, and we should have had a free kick in anyway. Free kick for the first goal was an awful dive too, plus Bannan should have been sent off. After seeing the refereeing last night it seems fairly obvious who this league is all about and Brighton are in for a rude awakening next season when they're a small fish in a big pond and they won't be given such an easy ride.

The Ref came over to the sidelines and the 4th Official had a tablet with him and repeatedly told him the correct rule; the Ref was having none of it or didn't have the balls to admit he was wrong. It was a complete farce, Rafa was absolutely livid. There was only 1 person in the whole ground who thought it should be a free kick to Burton. I'd have that idiot made to explain what exactly went on, why he wouldn't change his decision and then I'd suspend him for a month. Shelvey lost his head for the next 5 minutes and lunged into a couple of challenges; the consequences if he'd been sent off and we'd not won could have been the difference between going up or not. You can't have huge outcomes being heavily affected by a Ref not knowing a basic rule. It was chaos; I've seen nowt like it. Yep, each of the three officials involved on that side of the pitch should be interviewed separately to establish what conversations took place. If it comes out that the referee was shown the laws of the game but wilfully refused to apply them correctly then that goes beyond being simply a horrendous mistake and really is a sackable offence. I don't agree with the second point mind. The referee isn't responsible for the way players react to his decisions. Part of being a (good) professional player is having the mentality to carry on in the face of adversity and not allowing your focus to get distracted.

Murray is such a fucking cheat like

You would get 10p Well no.... Well they're hardly likely to survive are they? Hence you get 10p.... (red face....) He's suggesting betting a tenner on them doing the miracle and staying up in which case you win a grand. Does it really need explaining? If i'm wrong i guess cp40 will have to explain it to both of us. Doesn't work like that. They might be 1/100 to go down, but the odds on them staying up will be much less than 100/1-call it the house's edge.

Absolute howler from this bloke, in fact from the whole officiating team. Compounded by Stroud's egotism in refusing to be corrected when shown the laws of the game by our staff and probably a dash of enjoying being the centre of attention at a big stadium. Needless to say he is not fit to referee again in the professional game, however I'd accept it was essentially an honest mistake. Still not nearly as bad as that Steve Martin from Forest- he was just out-and-out cheating.

This would explain it surely. Essentially he's spotted encroachment from a newcastle player because a burton player is whinging about it, but has decided to ignore the encroachment from half the burton team including the player stood in front of him complaining. Very odd there isn't a line in there for "both teams encroaching" mind. How does that explain it? Because I didn't read the table properly that's why

Stelling going apeshit at the ref on SSN

That's it. Even when they did it it wasn't original or witty, fans of other clubs have pulled similar stunts for years. Why some of our support feel the need to copy them, and then attempt to justify it by adding on the charity bit is just beyond me.

I noticed that Saturday. We all had a bit snigger when the "official" attendance of 51,800-odd was announced

The footage of his "apology" a reporter asks him if he understands why what he said was wrong. He says yes. The confused look on his face shows he hasn't got a fucking clue!!

It's outrageous and people are rightly giving them loads of shit. £37.50 for Ipswich on Easter Monday isn't much better either mind and no-one seems bothered for some reason?
