Damn that's smart thinking. Or at least, it would be if you'd done it at the time.

[Football] Amazing scenes at MIGHTY Leeds

If Leeds do go up (and I really hope they don't) then I hope so much a reverse situation happens against Burnley and Dyche refuses to give a goal back. There could be fisticuffs.
Fair enough, didn't realise this had happened. But Football can still adopt some good Rugby practices.

Listen to me!!!
It was pathetic. Leeds were entitled to score. Play to the whistle. If it was Brighton scored I would be unhappy if we then let the opposition score. The villa player injured himself and was not a head injury. Pathetic and tin pot by villa.

I think Jansson is a club issue rather than being banned by EFL. Whether he thought he was right or not he ignored the instructions from his manager and made his club look really scummy. Should just be dropped and possibly fined internally without involving he league.

strong and stable with me, or...
See below. I completely agree with you had that actually been the case. I wouldn't have been happy had Knockeart put his hand up to indicate he was kicking it out, only to deceive the opposition in order to gain an advantage. Had they just played on, then absolutely fine, but that didn't happen...

FA Response:
Anwar El Ghazi will be available for Aston Villa’s next three matches after a claim of wrongful dismissal was upheld by an Independent Regulatory Commission. The forward was sent off for violent conduct during the EFL Championship fixture against Leeds United on Sunday [28/04/2019].
Patrick Bamford has subsequently been charged with ‘successful deception of a match official’. It is alleged the Leeds United player’s behaviour in the 72nd minute of the fixture, which involved committing a clear act of simulation that led to Anwar El Ghazi being dismissed, amounts to improper conduct. The forward has until 18:00 on Wednesday [01/05/2019] to respond to the charge.* *
In addition, Leeds United and Aston Villa have been charged with a breach of FA Rule E20. It is alleged they failed to ensure their players conducted themselves in an orderly fashion during the 72nd minute of the fixture. Both clubs have until 18:00 on Friday [03/05/2019] to provide a response.*
What action taken against the Linesman who “saw” the “assault” on Bamford? He should be suspended too.
Why? He didn't try to cheat, he was deceived.

Successful deception of a match official? How many times do we see that each Saturday night on MOTD.
Surely in this case Bamford had every right to go down? He was touched, albeit a hand brushed his chest and even if it hadn't he could've gone down anticipating contact?
Aren't those the accepted excuses for cheating we hear nowadays?
Just perfunctory FA involvement brought upon by a persistent media.

Because if he was deceived by that he is incompetent.
They're all incompetent
give over soft lad. if pontus really wanted (and i think he did but knows the wrath of bielsa) to stop them scoring he would have done so. Pontus was absolutely right and while bielsa plays the genltemn he knows that too

How on earth did you let Naarch and Shef Utd overtake you? I thought you were nailed on this year.
Don't care i think it's hilarious. Hope they fook up in the PO's

great indication of where the game is at currently.....blatant cheating by Bamford , inept officiating from Atwell and lino ....incorrect red , McGinn should have gone and Hourihan and then Adomah for raising his hands to Janssen.....noble act by Bielsa to atone for questionable sportsmanship but Villa did exactly the same v Stoke previously with none of the brouhaha by stoke ........ pathetic scenes. any retrospective action re Bamford or rescinding El Ghazi's red ...?? 2 incidences of ineptitude by officials...??
