Middlesbrough v Leeds

[KP Fox]

Bamford lucky not to get a red

[Fear Of The Fox]

2 yards offside. The whole sport is rigged and full of corruption. Shut down Sky first and afterwards investigate the bank accounts of everyone, officials, players, every single one of them.

Wow the offside goal and then the lack of red card there. 

 

Stinks.

It's got nothing to do with the 'purity' of the game of some dewy-eyed nostalgia for the way things were. It's people getting sick of games being ruined by absurd decisions like yesterday.

 

When they get it right, great, but at the moment it's shit. 

But games (such as this) have been ruined by atrocious officiating for decades. So what's the difference?

If the ref deems that a yellow, surely he's seen the foul and the way Bamford has stepped on the with studs at the achilles? 

 

Isn't there an element of judging it as serious foul play / excessive force though? I don't like Bamford but that was clearly accidental.

It was reckless.

Perhaps we should go full on "F@@est" about it and demand answers 😂😂😂

It’s almost like referees cannot keep up with the pace that football is played by elite athletes these days.   

[Sharpe's Fox]

Could do with ref seeing that offside at half time and levelling this up if a Boro player goes down.

[Bergen fox]

Can’t see Leeds losing this 

[FrankieADZ]

how do you get a decision so wrong

They look shaky at the back.

[StevieH]

You either have VAR or you don't. There is no half way measure. Personally would just have goal line technology. Football in the Prem is too forensic. Over a whole season decisions tend to even themselves out. There are enough interruptions these days with time wasting and diving etc.

cant either now, probably end 4-2 to leeds

[Ricey]

Watching Boro defend, if you can call it that, is painful.

[zorro en españa]

If you can get it, and want a different commentary, the Boro commentators on their channel are excellent.  Passionate but fair.

Nor can the Boro defence in fairness.

All 3 of them are offside 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

[Sol thewall Bamba]

We scored twice in a combined 6 hours against these two

There you are, fixed it for you. 

[FrankieADZ]

if we had the ounce of luck leeds and Ipswich have had this season, we'll win all the rest of our games this season

[Dan]

I do wish we'd gone for the throat of some of these sides. We scored one goal in two games against this Middlesbrough side and they're just so vulnerable.
