FA Helping out Big Club Leeds

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/l/leeds_united/6592071.stm

Absolute Disgrace. (N)

 

even their fans said it was a deffo sending off nt

 

So Apparently

It is now alright to grab opposition players around the neck.

Bobby Hassell has three game ban for far far less

 

Exactly

and by the team who's got more loan signings than anyone alse and can play as many as they like with only the threat of a pittance of a fine.

Stinks.

Would writing to the FA do any good? would it fook.

 

Doesn't matter

It's we do Saturday that counts. I predict Leeds to stay up at the expense of Hull

 

So it's ok to go in 2 footed and then grab a player in a headlock?

 

No, but are you seriously suggesting that the FA have looked at it and thought I'll tell you what, no ones going to say anything lets let him off!! What I'm saying is that Leeds can put out whatever team they want, if we win it's irrelevant.

 

Agree with landes. Whatever happens at Leeds doesnt matter because we are gonna beat Leicester. We have been playing well and they dont look like losing at the moment. We only have to hold our form for 1 game. No problem. Feeling quite confident.

 

And L**ds are still sh*te so they will probably lose. (rockon)

 

'So it's ok to go in 2 footed and then grab a player in a headlock?'

Eh? at what point did Thompson go in 2 footed? It sticks in my throat but I have to say I AGREE with the decision despite my bitter hatred of all that is bad in Beeston and the surrounding suburbs. Prem players do the sort of stuff Thompson did every week and don't even get a booking. Ok - 2 wrongs dont make a right but I would have been peed off if a BFC player had been sent off for the same thing. Lets be grateful the sending off could well have cost Leeds at least a point at Soton.

Hassell got sent off for less. He didnt do owt.</p>

 

I didn't see the Hassle incident and by all accounts any video evidence was inconclusive (not that I would dispute what you say if you had a good view of it). The Thompson incident was during the game and thus in full glare of the camera's. I don't easily dismiss conspiracy theories but I don't think there's much mileage in this one.
