Sorry - do my eyes and ears deceive me? Has Garry Monk said post match today that we like fair sportsmanship in this country and what Bielsa did was unethical? The Garry Monk who sent his Birmingham side out at Elland Road in September to time waste, play act and con the ref. and the opposition - Leeds - and in so doing destroy a game of football as a spectacle for 30,000+ paying people, all because, we must imagine, it's only the result that counts?

To be honest Monk and all the other comments donā€™t bother me, I refuse to let them in. Itā€™s hypocrisy in its greatest form Monk comments are all around Leeds taking what outsiders say was an immoral approach, cheating at worst, using every opportunity at best.

So here is Monkey boy (not in the least affected by events) grabbing every single opportunity to snipe at Bub and the league leaders in the hope it affects us in some little way.

Smile and wave boys smile and wave.

Every year one of the teams vying for promotion has a blip where things don't go so well. If we get Casilla I can see us looking back on our blip of losing 2 games on the trot (I don't count the cup as I believe this worked in our interests) . Onwards and upwards we go. Exciting times MOT.

12 Jan 2019 22:16:16
I think we've had 2 blips now, the run of wins and draws and now the 2 defeats, even then we were "at it" we didn't just give up, so, new keeper and we should just settle into home wins, away draws to the end of the season :)

Husband and blonde wife sat listening to local radio one winter's evening when the weather reporter comes on and says " there's going to be 4_6" of snow tonight so can everyone please park their cars on side of the road were the houses have odd numbers so the snow plough can get through tonight. The blonde wife runs out to the car and parks it on the road were the odd numbered houses are.
The following night they are sat there again and the weather man comes on again and says. "We are expecting 6_8" of snow tonight so can everyone please park their cars on the side of the road were the even numbered houses are on so the snow plough can get through during the night" the blonde wife rushes out and parks the car on the road were the even numbers was on.
The following night they were sat listening to the radio again when the weather man comes on and says " we are expecting 8_10" of snow tonight so could everyone park their car. When there was a power cut before he could finish his sentence. The blonde wife looks at the husband in despair and said " what will we do now? I don't know were he wants us to park the car now as the radio went off with the power cut" the husband looks at his blonde wife and says
WHY don't YOU JUST LEAVE IT IN THE GARAGE TONIGHT DEAR.

Hello all. I am feeling all magnanimous today. I think that we should be grateful to Fat Frank and all the haters / enviers. I'm sure you have all noticed how they have galvanised us. Even the players doing the binoculars handsign. ER had the seige mentality that serves us so well. I feel positivity oozing out of this situation for us. Leeds thrive (thankfully) off the animosity of others. I feel a real cohesion amongst us all at present. Hopefully another winning run will come from this. On another note, if you haven't seen it already, have a gander at Radz, the kebab and the sleeping Leeds fan. Now that is cameradery.

Great point LUFC. Thatā€™s what surprised me about Fat Frank. He could have used the issue to energize his team and get them out fighting. But his sulky, mardy behaviour transferred to the whole team and they looked beaten pretty early, set the scene for the evening. We looked completely the opposite! Poor management!

I maybe be suspicious but maybe the obvious spy was sent to disrupt Derby's strategy rather than reporting what there tactics are. The spy's dossier would have been fairly short anyway as "No Wilson, no hope" would have been my report for a team utterly reliant on one person.

On the derby game, did anyone else notice how lenient the ref was for all their fouls . Thought they could have had a couple sent off . He let Bryson off with about 4 bookings. The ref was really poor on all this. Hope its a reflection of how well we played that they could only resort to these tactics. Alioski got hammered a number of times . The tackle on Janson at the end . Last week V Company is let off for the same tackle as Philips gets straight red?

Bermo wearing both your x goalie hat and your thespian one, what did you make of Baileys kick? Seemed absolutely bizarre to me. He had caught the ball cleanly, knee was fine raised, but the leg? Had something else happened before with the same player, looked like possible retaliation . Really strange one for me.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 21:43:20
not sure spanish,

thing is I think BPF is great on crosses if you look over the season he is very commanding on crosses, I honestly think he paniced a bit and lost concerntration, i don't think it was spiteful but certainly stupid

as an actor/ dancer (year of ballet don't you know) think it was bit of a weak kick and he needs to work on his turn out.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 22:07:36
Speedy putting you in a tutu doesn't count as a year of ballet. Bermondsey.

12 Jan 2019 22:09:02
Great on crosses?! I would say the exact opposite. Sorry Berm but the lad does not command the penalty area.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 22:23:19
Having just had a good look at the BPF incident I think he was very lucky to stay on the pitch, looked to me like he meant it, but then again it was only Duane Holmes, dog botherer :)

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 22:36:47
I think he is weak on crosses or balls into the box, starts to come then retreats.

Agree1 Disagree0

13 Jan 2019 09:14:14
if Speedy in a tutu counted I would be pro and on the greatest dancer. although it is hard to dance when chained to a wardrobe

I contradict myself here. I think he is poor at commanding the area and does love to come for something then retreat, however that said if you look over the season and the couple of games we may of been on sky! you will see the amount of times he comes for a cross and takes it commandinly and cleanly, he is very good at coming for crosses and his handling of crosses is great it is just his positining that is poor not his ability to take a cross.

Extract from a post on Derby County fans forum.

ā€œI sort of hate their fans. 36,000 of them and they never shut up getting behind their team. Singing, shouting, howling their derision at us, the Derby players, the referee. Ā  Absolutely intimidating and joyous at the same time.
Just jealous! ā€.

Believable9 Unbelievable0

12 Jan 2019 21:17:13
Had a quick look on their forum sheds, most hate all things leeds. One even stated his father brought him up to call us dirty Leeds . But to be fair to their fans on the forum most admire our team and the way we are playing, many saying we are the best team they have faced this season. They are not blaming spy gate for their defeat unlike franky boy, many find it amusing.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 21:33:35
They certainly do hate us Mezz and I'm sure it all stems from 1975 and a certain match where a diving Franny Lee got chinned by a normally placid Mr Hunter šŸ˜€.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 22:27:44
I remember it well sheds, franny Lee with a nice fat lip and his windmill punches that never landed as they walked off the pitch. Do recall Norman falling over from the wind generated from frannys arms.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 22:49:40
I was at that game 2 sheds, and Franny Lees dive would put Tom Daley in 2nd place. A little latter Norman gave a tackle (fair) he would never forget, which resulted in both sent off.

Is it me? I know we are Leeds so everyone wants to throw the book at us but the gentleman in question outside Derbyā€™s ground is an Electricain and had just rewired a lamp for me hence the pliers (your honour)

Also, IF my innocent sparky friend Jose was nabbed by police (but not arrested your honour as no breach you see guv) How much did he actually see, honestly itā€™s getting to a point where you cannot take a stroll in the sunshine with a set of pliers and a crowbar these days! I blame Brexit.

12 Jan 2019 18:22:10
agree with all on here on two points

first point leeds were great last night, clarke roofe of course but also alioski, forshaw and aling, who have rightly come under some stick but think they showed how important they are with legs energy and in the press

secondly with all this spy gate rubbish, it happens world wide, if england don't do it maybe they should cos others do and it clearly works, linaker talks about cameroon watching his pens in 90 world cup, it happend this world cup with the renting of the germans house. It is not against the rules so any talk of points or fine is rubbish surely

then the moral area, it is dangerous to rubbish another culture or way as morally wrong as racist, it is what south americans do is it wrong to gain an advantage to be as thourough as possible? maybe maybe not to to judge it is a bit strong, england adopted the high press, adopted playeing out from the back and adopted the players and even diving (which is agaisnt the srules) why is this something to be punsiehd

also to stan the man, calm down mate we didn't do anything that bad, it ain't like we beat the life out of a woman.

Believable4 Unbelievable0

12 Jan 2019 20:05:16
Nice one Berm. Especially the bit about Stan the man, love it. Also would like to see him answer it. But how can a proven women beater do that?

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 20:24:12
Bermo, always makes me laugh when I hear British people talking about other nationalities needing to adapt to our culture! Just like brits do wherever they go and whatever they do in the world . Ever been to Benidorm and countless other places. English breakfasts, early eating, british pubs, fish and chip shops, British television, Iceland and British food shops, specsavers! Complaining all the time about the lack of politeness, and many other cultural difference. We are amongst the worst at adapting culturally to anywhere we go! I understand why that happens but donā€™t criticize other people when they do the same thing!

Thatā€™s aside from the fact that I would bet you that there are british people doing the same thing somewhere in the world!

Agree2 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 21:49:24
I agree Spanish,

and don't get me wrong I am a proud brit and wouldn't change anywhere in the world in fact further from London I get the more cockney i become. however I think it is wrong to say doing something in the rules is unethical or poor sportsmanship, teams have done it in the world cup and every other competition so why is this an issue?

also it clearly works so why don't we adpot it? If the high press works use it, if playing out from the back works use it, if sending a scout to watch trainin works and is not in the rule book use it, so british to say it is wrong then lose to argentina in the world cup as they watch us train

as for stan the man. i know a few people who know him and say he is vile. don't get me wrong I mean who am i to judge a woman beater. i'd love to hit my wife if i wasn't scared of the hiding she would give me!

Sort of agree the same about Lineker, donā€™t like him him but he has stood up for us over the scouting trip, says itā€™s rife and even had a kit man come through the dressing room ceiling trying to listen to a team talk.

All a lot of sour grapes and hot air.

It's never straight forward being a Leeds fan is it . I must admit I'm concerned by the whole spy gate thing . I can see it potentially derailing us completely or alternatively just being a storm in a tea cup and forgotten about . Hopefully the latter . But there are some potentially very negative consequences. Not least a points deduction regardless of the legal precedents or lack there of . Remember it's Leeds we're talking about and anything is possible . But also Bielsa is a man of great principle and if he feels backed into a corner and not fully supported by the club, I can see him walking or at the very least not putting his heart and sole into the rest of the season . The club apology this morning already implicitly questions his morals and honesty . A dangerous game is being played .

It would be illegal for the FA to take any action against us, as it wasnā€™t breaking any rules. Ethically questionable, but ethics are a personal interpretation of actions. Plus, have you seen the public footpath that runs parallel to the DC training facilities?

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 15:03:36
No laws have been breached so I cannot see what they could do us for. Personally, I don't belive for one moment that he acted without the club knowing. He's trying to take the blame. I think at worst then a fine for bielsa.

Agree1 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 15:04:50
Ouch, who's hit you with the pessimism stick? At worst Bub will get a fine or a slap on the wrist, no rules broken, and the way we took them apart no harm done.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 15:22:41
Donā€™t even think that there is a law in the game that would make him liable for a fine? Itā€™s common practice, and I think that will become evident as the days go by, unless the media solely focus on trying to derail us. That said, I really think that this whole thing will just galvanise us.

Bright and Louis so naive. There'll be a general roving integrity rule lurking around in rule book. They'll say their interpretation stands and deduct us in point equivalent of all of Jermaine Jenas' brain cells. See you at Wembley in late May gents!

{Ed001's Note - so a 0 point deduction then?}

12 Jan 2019 16:36:50
Not naive George. Just aware of an ongoing practice that is rife from grass roots upwards. It means nothing, but in this case, it achieved something, in that it rattled Frankie boy big time, which I find very amusing! Ethics and Morals are an interpretation of events. We, Bielsa, Leeds, have done nothing wrong. That is all.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 17:17:28
Red. You say Marcelo "at the very least not putting his heart and sole into the rest of the season". Read anything about him and you will quickly realise that he is not that type of person. It is all or nothing with him. Just let's hope it is not the "nothing" part.

Youā€™d hope. Southgate might want to spend some time with MB and discuss stuff

Sadly, as is the way with English football, heā€™s more likely to bring a young English manager in

Actually Woody, I see a lot of the Bielsaball approach in the way Southgate tries to get England playing, and I wouldnā€™t be surprised if he did spend time with the main man. Didnā€™t like him as a player, but heā€™s proving to be a shrewd gaffer.

You were beaten bad.
Please go directly to jail for impersonating a top 6 team. If you pass go. Do not collect 200 cause you don't know how to spend it and you will still be crap.

At the start of the season, Bielsa said he preferred beautiful football to pragmatic football. So when we went 1 v 2 up away at Forest with just 10 men, rather than shutting the game down and trying to keep what we had, like other teams would and probably like a lot of us wanted him to do, he kept on attacking - the obligation to win with style that he talks about. Last night justifies everything about him and his methods and English football should embrace it. Listening to the pundits was unbelievable - one even asked if his position was untenable?! Amongst other things, we've had to witness the shameful play acting and time wasting from Birmingham and a clear head butt from a Brentford player - again whilst time wasting and caught on camera - go unpunished (and Bielsa hasn't openly complained about any of it) but Bielsa sending someone to watch the opposition train (er, yeah? ) is apparently disgusting and shames the game?! I just hope Lampard's pundit pals don't influence the stuffed shirts at the FA. England almost got to a World Cup Final by scoring goals from set pieces. Was Gareth Southgate there last night to watch Clarke or was he there to watch a coach squeeze every ounce of talent and committment he could out of the players available to him? English football has often been pragmatic (or plodding and cautious) . Bielsa's football is beautiful. And he's ours. On On On.

Frank Lampard was the one to blow it up in the media . It could all of been handled behind closed doors . Was he trying to gain an advantage from announcing it? Deflect from their poor form and the pressure he is under. The Arsenal training ground in London Colney had to build earth banks and plant trees to stop their rivals trying to watch the training sessions there and we all know who one of their main rivals have been over the last 25 years. Its being going on all the time . Teams staying in hotels where the fire alarm goes off in the middle of the night. Having to bring their own food and chefs . What is a much bigger disgrace is the reaction of the Sky presenters, their reaction was similar to the club having committed the most heinous of crimes . A number these Sky presenters just cannot disguise their open hatred of all things Leeds. They appeared to be actually revealing in their assassination and also appeared very pleased with themselves afterwards, to the point of being unable to hide their delight.

It is very different from watching a match. Teams adjust tactics against different teams. Derby would plan to play differently against Leeds than they would against Ipswich as they'd know in advance how much possession they are likely to have etc.
But and here is the important part to me. If our 'spy' was on public land, didn't trespass then he has done nothing wrong.
Derby's mistake for letting it be possible to be watched openly even from a distance.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 17:32:20
As a former coach, most of your tactical preferences are employed in some way, shape or form in every game. Yes, you do work on specifics based on your opponent, and their gaffers preferences, but in all honesty, the spying, itā€™s no different from watching videos of every game, or being present at every game. Prime reason for the spy mission imo was simply to see who wasnā€™t at training. I. e. not fit to play. Now THAT affects tactics.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2019 12:12:56
Really enjoyed the match last night, we as i predicted would maul derby with our high pressing games pretty much 1st time we did it also.
Think we have found alioski proper position seems to play unbelievable at left back (reminds me of Ashley Cole) . Think Pablo is sublime and could see him constantly on clarke's back in a good way, like a father/ son relationship on the pitch is going to make clarke a sublime player, some numbers ye lads threw out this last week was 10/ 15 million for clarke and we should listen to offers of around that number?
lay your heads in shame future england player? we know it! the england manger knows it? i'm sorry but anything less than 50 million be robbery because he will be a premier league player next year also like to hear your thoughts? .
BPF had hardly anything to do only catch a ball only ONCE and didn't even do that right thought that was dirty and hope that's the end to it and no ban because that for me was bang out of order.
Chuckle of the night was Klich after the game putting his binoculars on after the game was quite funny!
Don't even has to explain how good that kid looked on the pitch last night what a youngster we have on our hands and i know Spanish could mention many others coming through our ranks we might have to keep that stuff on the hush the Spanish these kids our trained under a Bielsa regime so better we keep our kids under wraps and say FA ;) otherwise were going to get crappy bids for outstanding young talent that has not even got in the 1st team yet.

Hopefully Bielsa will be take the reminder and move on from it.

I was a bit worried about how he came over in the final interview on Sky. Seemed to have really affected him. Needs some tlf as well as the reminder!

Small thing on the handshake at the end of the game. I understand the symbolism of the gesture, but if you do it in the manner that Fat Frank did at the end of the game you might as well not do it at all! Meant absolutely nothing! If you really don't want to shake somone hand don't do it!

Excellent performance last night. I thought Forshaw was playing as though he had something to prove and he did. He is a very good player. Alioski was outstanding at left back. Obviously Roofe and Clarke were top drawer again. One thing I thought I would not be saying - Cooper's presence in the back four made a huge difference. All in all everyone put in a very good shift. The return of Cooper, Alioski at left back, who was better than Douglas over recent weeks, and Clarke starting made the difference but all the players looked revitalised. I thought we would struggle with all the injuries but a couple of changes made all the difference.

Just watched the sky coverage and sick of the amount of attention and mentions that they gave to the spying stuff. It was supposed to be a football commentary! Really not relevant to coverage of the game the way Sky repeated it at every opportunity. Cover it in Sports news and discussion programmers but not all the way through a football commentary!

I don't think Fat Frank handled it well at all. It should have been something he could use to motivate his team and get them out firing on all cylinders. It was the opposite! His team followed his sulking attitude and caved in.

Bilesa looked emotionally shattered in his post match interview. He hardly made sense in Spanish never mind in the English translation. He and the issue needs to be handled carefully by the club in the next few days and then move on.

I can't believe that the leaking of information from training grounds in different ways isn't something that happens with other clubs. How we have done it has made it easy for Derby to make an issue if it, with massive assistance from Sky, who aren't exactly neutral when it comes to Leeds and Radz!

Nothing should be allowed to take away from what this group of players and coaches has achieved . Fat Frank knew exactly how we would approach the game but that insight didn't mean he had a plan that his players were able to execute.

Like I said every player was exceptional, thought Pontus was class, great to have Coops back, very calm. Alioski must feel battered this morning, throwing himself into every challenge.

What it does is give us attractive options on the left side to vary things up and respond to dips in form and injuries. Douglas, Alioski, Pearce, Davis, feels a lot more comfortable.

Firstly I would like to thank all those that post on this site! I often am watching a game and checking the insight everyone has while thing happen during the match.

The Australian has sided with George to become pessimistic. (Who saw that coming? I have a read on this site for years. If they agree it is a sign)

I'm not much interested in the spy thing. I said to those I watched the game with that I would have a lot of respect for fat Frank if, he held his hands up after the game when we won. I knew somehow we would. They made such a deal out of it that I knew Bielsa was somehow insulted and the players play for him.

I know this has been mentioned: Gary Linker's favourite crisp eating team did what was considered impossible. They won the league beating the big. no massive spenders of Chelsea, Man U, Man city. let's not forget the likes of Liverpool who have a world class coach. Everton who have a lot of money to spend. Then those London 2 that love to hate but play good football.

For my first post, I would like to say this.

We are all LEEDS! The performance from everyone on the pitch against those RAMS was incredible. Alioski is a warrior. Has he been injured yet? He must be the most hated player on the pitch at times.

Pontus is just bleeding Leeds. In his blood. A few times I have seen him read the game and smile as he does it. He can play Premier football in my opinion without doubt.

Schmeichel to this team would have made a difference.
Everyone who watched the game with me said, Clarke won't be there next season; he is class. I agree! The lad is class. Fearless. Harrison got signed by Pep who has worked with probably the best youth setup in football there is, so for him to be doing that when he can sign anyone with the money Citeh have says something. I mean you don't go from working with the likes of Messi to being told money is no object and taking a punt on a lad called Harrison.


Viara. Well. I will be honest. Selling him was not a loss to me. Last season he couldn't pass the ball to anyone in the same shirt he had on. What I would like to have seen was how he developed under Bielsa, because Philips was always a red card waiting to happen for me. Now. and hope Berm is ready for the tattoo! Philips is prem quality. Viera played the role of Batty! Simple pass. Viara gave it away. Philips has grown into that holding player that can pick a pass that isn't a simple ball.

This is our year. We go up as champions.
To all the posters, keep the faith! ALAW!
To the EDS a big thanks for your time and effort, and a happy New Year to all.

{Ed001's Note - just to point out, Pep is not involved in youth signings, they are not his role at all. Harrison was not his decision.}

Hi LeedsMalta good post and on the mark. I am Sydney based but not of the pessimistic view. I stated we would win and for me it is more than possible we can go up. But when they play the game in the way they did I get the same buzz I did when i followed them around europe. The togetherness of the fans too is great to see and read. Pessimistic or not we are all part of this special football family. MOT.

The left back for Derby was wetting himself every time JC got the ball. The youngster was turning him inside out for fun.
I can also really get used to the idea of Alioski at wingback. I'm getting a good feeling about this season.

Forgive me Leeds fans.
I sinned. I do apologise.
I lost my way and lost my faith.
It has been restored.
I have seen the white.
Absolute brilliance.
Complete and utter anhilation of derby.
Should have been 5 or 6.
Every player on that pitch was brilliant.
Well done to all of them. And Biesla.
That's how you play football baby Frankie boy! šŸ‘†.

Will you doubt now? First to the ball every time. Our lads got kicked and stamped on. Two penalties in my opinion, and a possible third.
Ausman it is time to accept, we are going up!

Wow! What a night, absolute privilege to be at Elland Road. Magical atmosphere deserving of an incredible performance. I wrote a few days ago that tonight's game would answer a lot of questions about How we will go in the second half of the season. I think it did. Some stunning football. Absolutely incredible passion and determination. Hernadez encouraging and guiding JC. KP pitch side and making a point in motivating and encouraging the kids before and after the game. It was beautiful, no other word for it. The team really wanted this from min 1.

The lack of cup matches is really going to help us, you could tell tonight that key players were full of energy. New GK seems a class addition and will take a bit of pressure off Bailey.

Would love to say more but I need to repack the land rover, fill up a flask, pick up my binoculars and head for Stoke. I've got some bushes to trim! Now now boys, behave and enjoy the weekend!

Great post span. You were there and saw what I could see via spy sports sat at home. I can see all our away fans sporting binoculars at games from now on. Big thumbs up to bieslas honesty about it and also for not apologising. Why should he. Keep those fab reports going span and thank you.

Good post spanish, on the spy gate incident I respect Bielsa for using whatever Legal tools at his disposal to gain an edge. Fergerson was called a genius for the way he got under other managers skin and I see this as no worse. Jermaine Jenus is on the bandwagon calling for a points deduction for leeds, but this can't happen as we have broken no rules or laws. It might be at worse seen as unsportsmanlike but not surely most teams send people to watch the oposition. Lampard and co just using this spy gate to reflect from his own problems, maybe he should train his team indoors!

I've been positive since the first 5 minutes against Stoke, I've been a Leeds fan for a long time, first game back end of the 60s and I think this is the best footballing side I've seen for a very long time. If only Bub had been around when the Don left :)
