I’m gonna go out on a limb and predict WACCOE weren’t quite so magnanimous.

Quite a few posts complaining about the ref and how Brighton players kept falling over
Falling over because they kept hacking us down. Dirtiest team I have seen in ages.

But a lot of comments about us getting away with loads of fouls....
I fear for Mac Allister if we play on a really windy day.

The narrative in Leeds fans minds that the ref was giving us too much was set into them from about 20 minutes in. We had been given 6 or 7 free kicks, and them 1 or 0. The travelling support started getting tetchy because of this, but they were some of the clearest fouls I have ever seen. Gave the ref no choice.

Thought Aaronson looked very good. Only outfield player who consistently got past our defenders.

Really cynical too, started from the off with Groß which the ref didn’t see anything wrong with.
Reminded me of Burnley tactics from recent years
At least we came away with 3 points
This…..first 15 mins or so was ridiculous. Thought the ref did a decent job in the circumstances

I have noticed that when a team loses to Brighton - the phrase ‘really should be beating teams like Brighton’ has now been replaced with ‘Brighton are a good side’
This I feel is the real progress we have made since promotion to the Prem.

I counted 9 fouls by Dirty Leeds in the first half-an-hour and could/should have had at least 4 yellow cards. Nearly every time we beat their midfield we were brought down. i think the ref dished out 2 yellows. They're not called dirty leeds for nothing. Their manager instils this mentality because last season they got streamrollled most games without any fight imo.
Wow. What a difference from the crap they spout on waccoe
'Lost to a decent Brighton team - a team that will beat better teams than us'

I’ve seen a few comments recently saying Brighton are a physical team. Never thought that myself but then started to think about Bissouma (obvs) Veltman, Dunky, Webster and Mac and they are not exactly shrinking violets are they? In fact they can all handle themselves, even Solly.
Maybe there is a physical side to our game that passes me by. I probably unconsciously excuse every foul we make! That will be it.

i new weird win
Webster's booking was the result of quite a physical challenge. Wouldn't have been surprised if it had been a red, but think he kept his studs down. But quite a lot of physicality is actually just 'strength' - nothing dirty about it, unlike our opponents yesterday. Veltman is more sneaky than anything else - he gets away with quite a bit and looks so innocent about it all....
Good thread for those interested in such stuff

Shush walls have ears and all that you never know who’s reading NSC the first rule of Veltman supporting club is to never mention the dark arts
