90 seconds into the Leeds v Fulham game and following a clearance by Ben White, Fulham's Mitrovic elbowed him in the face after the ball had gone.
It would be a straight red card if the officials had seen it or if it was in the Premier League and VAR was available.

It was a shocker, fortunately Ben was fine after treatment.

Sauce? Where is it?

It's a bit of a joke based on the way Leeds fans, ex players and press talk about White as though he's already theirs. Casing point being this article on TeamTalk (https://www.teamtalk.com/news/ben-white-hopes-grow-leeds-liverpool-transfer-discussed) where Kevin Phillips suggests that as part of a move to Liverpool for White that Leeds could then get him on loan. Ignoring the fact that a) We aren't likely to sell him and b) if we did sell him to someone like Liverpool and they were looking to loan him out for more experience we'd be in the driving seat to get White back as we could make his return on loan part of the transfer deal.

It's part of the continued delusion in parts of Yorkshire that Leeds are somehow still a big club despite playing their 16th straight season outside the top flight.

You do realise that this is THE Leeds United don’t you? :wink:

Ben White MOM ......commentator just said White should be playing in the Premier League next year whether its with Brighton or Leeds......another ignoramus.

They normally interview the MOM.
I'm sure they'll ask him about next season and he'll give the usual bland answer of "not looking beyond our next game".

Duffy to go and White to come in ( if we stay up )

Would imagine he will probably want to stay at Leeds now they are up though

Wonder what price they would get him for.

20m wouldnt be a bad return for youth

How is that going to work?

Not sure I can see them casually handing us a third of their acquired fortune from PL status just to keep hold of a player they already had.

Edit. 20M for a young English CB with huge promise? Must be joking.

Let’s hope we weaken our relegation rivals and strengthen our team

Bet Villa wish they had kept hold of more of those that got them up.

Covid market maybe.

Dont want to lose him just wouldnt be surprised if he wanted to stay . Players hold alot of the power. Hope not

Our defence isnt that bad conceeding wise and with lamptey and white coming in , add more goals and we could kick on

He signed a contract extension last year I believe, so he should have no say in where he plays, unless TonyB is really going to rip off Leeds,

Signed a one year extension when he joined Leeds on loan. Current deal with us runs out June 22.

He's not going to be going anywhere unless the offer is ridiculous, Potter has already said in the press White is a big part of his plans for next season.

Sadly good p[ayers have upper hand these days. If he doesnt think it certain he will be in our team he will make it clear to club he wants to sign for Leeds. You couldnt blame him.as he would be first choice at Leeds. Would think he will only be here if Webster or Dunk leave or Potter persuades him we will play 3 at the back...Cant see Potter paying £20m for Webster and leaving him out and so lot depends on if big club come in for Dunk.. Hopefully can get good price for Duffy and Clarke will be reserve centre back

I thought all our support realised now that we don’t sell our players, unless we want to sell them. The days of our club getting ripped off when selling players is long gone,
Stephens , Dunk, and Knocky could all have been sold, but, TB didn’t want to sell so they didn’t go, even though Stephens and Dunk wanted to leave.

White is going nowhere unless it’s for a large amount of moolah, and it certainly won’t be to dirty Leeds.
