If Fulham make the playoffs I'm going large on them.
They've been by far the best team we've played both home and away.

If Burton, Preston, and Cardiff are all banana skins for Newcastle, surely they are for Huddersfield as well? Also add into the mix that they play Norwich and Derby, whose strong squads may well be galvanised by new managers by then, Fulham who recently beat Newcastle away and arguably could/should have beaten us home and away, Forest who beat us, Bristol who held Newcastle etc etc.

Hudds fan in peace. I occasionally have a nosey on this board as you tend to talk a lot more sense then some places closer to Hudds, like L666ds and the Wendies.

I was amused by a post earlier in this thread, however, that seemed to suggest that we have had more than our fair share of luck, especially with refereeing decisions. Well, I guess we all feel hard done by on occasion, but as a Hudds fan I'm pretty sure that we are the team that are owed a few.

As regards penalties, for example, we didn't get our first until the Reading home game a few weeks back. Funnily enough, we had been moaning about the penalty count prior to this game. They'd had more than ten, and we'd had none. Irony or ironies, we then got a penalty against them ... which we promptly missed. We also got a soft one against the Toon, but I guess the ref, East, was feeling contrite after gifting Newcastle their first two goals. The handball before the dive for their pen, not to mention the fouls that preceded it, and then the ball was kicked from our keepers grasp for their second. We gifted them their third. Am I bitter? Er, yes, in respect of this result that could yet cost us dear. The Toon's first against you was also a freak, of course.

I think you may have been premature in celebrating the Toon win against us. We shall see. I'd love to see Newcastle having to fight it out in the play-offs, and the pressure is very much on them.

Win at Leeds and surely Huddersfield will have to give up the chase ffs. Can't see all the top 3 winning this weekend but at least its purely a 3 horse race now.

3 draws could easily happen this weekend which would be bloody good.

Problem in that game is that you didn't really look like scoring and got a very soft penalty.....you had many long range efforts but rarely troubled them.I can see why you normally win by the odd goal as you have great intensity and drive but not much end product hence never scoring many.

Great three way battle though and loving it

Sure, he had only one hand on it, but according to Law 12 that is enough, particularly when that hand is clasping the ball to his chest and ground simultaneously. A lot of people seem confused about this, including numerous pundits, but the law is clear. A tough one for the ref all the same, assuming he didn't have a clear view.

A goalkeeper is considered to be in control of the ball when:

- the ball is between the hands or between the hand and any surface (e.g. ground, own body) or by touching it with any part of the hands or arms except if the ball rebounds accidentally from the goalkeeper or the goalkeeper has made a save
-holding the ball in the outstretched open hand
-bouncing it on the ground or throwing it in the air

A goalkeeper cannot be challenged by an opponent when in control of the ball with the hands.

Have only caught the end of this thread but cannot believe what I'm reading.

We got a soft penalty against the toon & rarely looked like scoring otherwise.
Huddersfield beat us 3.1 & to be honest
It could have been 7 or 8.1
So to say they have no end product is
Ridiculous.
