Absolutely delighted with the result yesterday and all the players gave their 100% to that game. Even playing against opponents who have to succumb to dirty tactics as they know that they can not compete against our quality.
Not withstanding that we also have to deal with the extremely poor quality of referring in this league.
I’m still shaking my head how the ref never awarded a pen for that clear as day foul or thuggery of Cooper on Rodon.
For all the fans who complain about VAR, think again, the fact that we are not mentioning that incident much is acknowledging that we accept it and are used to this very poor standard of refereeing on a consistent basis.
Just because we won the game it’s no reason to be not furious about it.
For certain fans who think we should be winning these games 3 or 4 nil is not about which player should be starting over another or about another player looks sluggish, your answers are in how these type of opponents play against us and the very poor standard of refereeing.

Well done Farke and his boys for giving their upmost in this very difficult and challenging league. 👏🏻.

Spot on OP. That ref needs striking off the ref register as much as Ridsdale did from the directors register! Millwall were appalling in the manner of their approach, and should quite probably been down to 9 by the end. A great win in the face of adversity!

18 Mar 2024 07:58:22
My mate who is a wall fan said I never ever think a ref is in our favour but yesterday it’s clear the ref was a wall fan!

Still normally refs cost us points this year they have but on the whole we’ve beaten 12 men every week!

18 Mar 2024 08:02:24
I agree with most of what you say OP, with the exception of VAR. I would take questionable refereeing over VAR any day. I despise it and what it is doing to the game. Our 2nd would have been ruled out yesterday and Leicester’s 2nd would have stood. VAR was brought in to prevent the obvious mistakes; it fails at that week in week out, plus it now re-refs the non-obvious mistakes on top. Refs make mistakes, but no where near as many that players make each game. I may be sentimental traditionalist, but I prefer to talk about about contentious issues within / about the game rather than a stupid VAR decision that I didn’t see or understand…or didn’t need.

18 Mar 2024 08:51:08
Why rule our second out?

18 Mar 2024 10:01:43
Gio by var standards was off side by a right foot aus.
I for one have not missed var this season. As has been mentioned it may hae given us a couple of extra penalties but so what.
Also it would have slowed down games further when some teams try that anyway.
My thoughts on the rodon pen was that if Joe got more of a definite touch on the ball it would have been given. As it was neither players actually had control of the ball so you could argue that it was a coming together.
Cooper should have been given two yellows though.

18 Mar 2024 10:26:24
What Ben and Ani said.

18 Mar 2024 10:27:29
Why rule out a penalty and a player being sent off?
My opinion is that the ref after probably watching a replay at half time, knew he’d got it wrong, there were several decisions in the second half that he gave our way that clearly were not.
In another scenario that decision could have cost us the three points, what would the sentiment be then?

My feelings are not whether VAR should be in football or not, just the standard of referring being not so blatantly bad, especially in the Championship.

18 Mar 2024 12:24:14
I saw the replay and thought it was level.

18 Mar 2024 13:33:36
Aus was that the knee to the chin or the handball?
Judging by Cooper’s OTT performance in that first half, I would say It was pretty unmistakable that he thought his head was the ball.
No mistake in my mind that Cooper should have been sent off and the ref should go to specsavers or get a different job.

18 Mar 2024 01:29:12
Funny how things in football ⚽ work. From 17 points adrift New Year Eve and now look. Cellino hated and probably still does the number 17. Lucky ☘️ for us. 🤍💛💙.

Wanna make a point about Gnonto. He may of wanted out of our great club but wow what a turnaround. His work rate is phenomenal. He tracks back more often than the two stooges Baz n George!

17 Mar 2024 23:04:07
Boom boom Cork.

18 Mar 2024 00:08:40
Agree cork. Very good performance.

18 Mar 2024 00:35:01
Berm ☝️🆙 Example of banter. No grumbling from me or Baz.

18 Mar 2024 07:05:17
George for it to be banter it has to be funny not personal or offensive.

I was in a pub full of wall fans as I always am … imagine being the only leeds fan in a school of 2k kids… believe me I know banter.

18 Mar 2024 07:35:27
Perhaps the reason being that the so called Banter comes from fellow Leeds fans makes it in effect, offensive?
I’ve met Leeds fans in many different countries on my travels and have only had amicable times with them.
Meeting fans on the internet is very different as there is no real human contact.
MOT, sometimes.

18 Mar 2024 07:44:32
You forgot “repetive, childish, and tedious” Bermo! It was bants (supposedly) a long time ago!

18 Mar 2024 07:58:56
Yeah bright very good point!

22 Mar 2024 17:22:58
Let’s move on from this seems it’s going on on on on don’t like move to fairy site kits in a play ground miss he won’t let me play oh my word.

17 Mar 2024 22:37:38
Leeds have NEVER bettered 25 wins from our first 38 league matches in a single season in the club's history.

Daniel Farke’s Leeds are enjoying an astonishing season. (@lufcdata)

Even Farke haters Baz and Aus have surely got to admit the man is a legend now don't they?

Agree4 Disagree0

17 Mar 2024 23:09:18
I already stated several times on this forum in 2024 Alf . that and J quote :


"2024 is fabulous set of results. kudos to Farke %

It was most certainly reasonable to question/ critique his away record in 2023 .6 defeats .3 in December as I correctly predicted.

18 Mar 2024 00:10:08
Legend? Ha ha. He has won nothing yet.
At the moment he is average. Winning all those games means nothing if we don’t go up.

18 Mar 2024 07:06:11
Statistically the best manager the leauge has ever seen….

18 Mar 2024 07:47:27
There is no denying he is a top class manager, who has a proven CV in this division, and is certainly delivering for us this season, despite facing an uphill struggle at the start of the season. We could possibly be in the clear by now at the top had he not had to handle the tricky pre season.

18 Mar 2024 10:42:52
Aus has a point; DF is far from very premature "legend" status given by Alf. these wins will count for absolutely nothing if we don't go up

It's also no coincidence that 3 of the top 4 are the EPL relegated teams with their far superior talent of squads . none of the regular champo teams have a £35 milion Geirgionio in their team for starters

No the REAL standout OVER PERFORMING manager of this Champo season has been McKenna at little ole League 1 Ipswich currently on 81 points in Champo yet with according to some on this forum a woefully carp Ipswich team.

Impressive.

18 Mar 2024 12:23:51
Farke has already won this league twice, so yes he has won. Whether he does it this year with us remains to be seen but the records he is setting will be around long after Farke has left the club and will go down in legend so I think he is also becoming a Leeds Legend as well. Achievements are more than just winning things.

Contradicting yourself there Baz as you claim O'Leary was a wonderful manager having not won anything and yet Farke isn't? You can't have it both ways.

18 Mar 2024 12:50:35
Alf . you seriously comparing trying to win Champo with trying to win far harder EPL and super hard / impossible for most clubs Champions League fgs

Give yer head a shake fella.

18 Mar 2024 22:21:54
You can only beat what's in front of you Baz.

17 Mar 2024 20:58:56
Did Rutter get MOM and if so why?
He gave the ball away numerous times, couldn't keep hold of it and his shooting was poor. I realize he got two assists but those stats imo are phoney as the first was a shovel pass and it was the genius of Willy that made the goal. Ok the second he done extremely well.
He does show moments of genius but in the top flight will be a liability on this and recent performances.
Harsh maybe but true.

Agree3 Disagree0

17 Mar 2024 21:51:01
Rodon or Ampadu should be MOM
Not Gio.

17 Mar 2024 22:46:37
Cork 🍾 UTWADTB.

17 Mar 2024 22:54:30
It was very frustrating watching him today trying the impossible. He needs to lift his head and look at the better options that are available. Lots of moans amongst the silent majority in the West Stand "Upper" today. He did though deliver the goods.

17 Mar 2024 23:59:26
Gio is maybe slowing a little this is his first full season playing first team football. But he keeps assisting and he keeps trying.
That's all we can ask. Hopefully after this break he'll be refreshed.

18 Mar 2024 07:15:01
Leading assist provider in the league. Can’t ask for more than what he is delivering. But definitely needs to work on that there shooting malarkey!

18 Mar 2024 08:09:34
Rutter was pulled and hacked down for most of the match, he and Cree are the two targets for the Neanderthal opposition. Opposing players won’t get away with that in the Premiership with VAR and refs who know the rules of football.

Rutter deserves all the plaudits he gets, a very young player who is evolving and will continue to with maturity.
We are very lucky to have him so enjoy and celebrate the time he is with us because the big guns will be after him in the not too distant future.

18 Mar 2024 12:27:09
Rutter is an odd one. 90% of his touches are like he hasn't worked out how long his legs are and his touch and shooting is woeful, but he has the talent and ability to change a game completely in that other 10% of the time and that's why he is key to our success and was the MOM yesterday. Without those flashes of brilliance that was 0-0.

18 Mar 2024 14:56:56
I agree Alf. Not sure about the nil nil score though?
It was the genius of Gnonto which gave us first goal.

18 Mar 2024 19:43:57
Hernia problem should be able to make sense of why, in some opinions, he's slowed a little.

17 Mar 2024 20:02:08
Hope you are enjoying getting one over your Millwall mates Berm, give them hell as they would be giving it you lots of crap 💩 mate. so bask in the glory of a superb win my friend 👍👍 MOT.

Agree6 Disagree0

17 Mar 2024 20:42:20
Loved it mate what a day to be alive!

17 Mar 2024 19:57:32
What a day to be alive!

Was in a club full of poxy wall fans including my good mate who’s dad played over 150 games for wall.

Got load of stick for gnoto and poor Jake cooper then gnoto goes and buries a worldie

We then bring on James (only a fools questions farke and says he must start)

And James scores the goal to put us too

Now good news… I have a signed match worn shirt which I brought to the club

Bad news it’s a small and I was wearing it when he scored… I looked like a roll of pork wrapped in string

Do I care… not a chance

A league double over wall…. Happy days! No one in se1 is giving old Bermo stick for a good few years now!

Mot.

Agree4 Disagree0

17 Mar 2024 20:24:20
Absolutely chuffed to bits for you Berm, I wish I could have stood with you and shared the win with those lovely Wall fans! lol MOT Bermo 👍👍👍👍.

17 Mar 2024 21:01:54
Dan James is a MOST successful Leeds player in crucially scoring Leeds FIRST goal each time in the FIRST half when he starts

which each time is the catalyst for Leeds WINNING the match

Eight matches 8 wins 24 crucial points thanks to DJ in these matches this seasin :

Middlesbrough
Blackburn
Bristol City
Huddersfield
Plymouth
Preston
Stoke City
Birmingham

It's entire reasonable Bermo for more logical rational thinkers to suggest DJ should start.

When DJ scores first Leeds win. end of.

17 Mar 2024 22:00:17
You not think the most logical thinking is to go with the 2-0 win James scoring the winner and us being top?

Are you really arguing with a full time result?

17 Mar 2024 22:07:55
Fair point Baz, but Willy started and it all worked out just dandy.

17 Mar 2024 22:33:06
Probably more Wall fans in that boozer than at ER. Pathetic support.

17 Mar 2024 23:02:02
2 nil is a par score against Millwall not that convincing .

We should be beating the likes of Millwall 3 or 4 at home

It also took quite a long time (33 mins) to score

Leeds are just as/ if not more effective when DJ starts . it's not a ' foolish' notion as you opine.

Them be the facts.

17 Mar 2024 23:12:22
Thank you for your well reasoned rational reply MG.

17 Mar 2024 19:33:47
Well a very workmanlike and professional performance today against a team who tried their best to stop us playing and were very much in form. Dare I say almost boring really? Delighted with the 3pts and for now, top, top, top of the league so can't complain. 8 Cup finals to go.

Agree5 Disagree0

17 Mar 2024 21:03:53
Bang on Alf.
And 8 cup finals to go is the right mentality!

17 Mar 2024 22:50:14
Alf and Dill I'm hopeful that it's 7 cup finals only and the ⚜️⚜️ fixture shall be superfluous at least so far as our auto promotion aspirations.

17 Mar 2024 18:55:40
Is there a live post site Ed?

{Ed033's Note - There is a Leeds Live Chat page on this site during Leeds matches at leedsrumours.co.uk/live/

Georgey😎. and also Super Stevie Morrison, Chas and Dave, and yes Bermo .

17 Mar 2024 19:22:56
Sounds like you enjoyed that one George:) )
Good win and top of the league - can't ask for more than that!

17 Mar 2024 19:24:05
George, you must be something as some on here would say😀 you on something George. 😂😂😂 I say kiss my arse you know WHO you are 🤣🤣🤣.

17 Mar 2024 19:44:39
Berm is a Leeds fan. Everyone here knows it. Shame you have to continue this diatribe pointlessly. It was slightly amusing five years ago for a minute or two.

17 Mar 2024 19:52:03
Why am I getting stick on here? Got to be honest starting to take it personal George? I was in a pub with a load of millwall fans giving it to them. why

A. because I am leeds
B. because I can stand in a room of wall fans and give it and walk out… because I have the respect to do so

Anyone else wants to stick it to me for this at least have the back bone to meet me… because I’m no longer finding it funny just boring and offensive

Put up or shut up.

17 Mar 2024 20:29:07
What Bright said.
ALAW.
Give the lad a break as it’s very very tedious now.

17 Mar 2024 20:40:35
Can I not refer to a SE suburb of London without there being forum mayhem? 🤣.

17 Mar 2024 20:46:20
Cheers bright I really appreciate that

Trust baz to get in on the act

George and baz jumping on me… both of whom have constantly declined to meet me… and I sing for a living… says a lot when so called keyboard warriors and trolls have to give it to a thespian but can’t even have the balls to meet him

Shame on you both. I expect that to be the end of it now., you’ve lost all respect. until you can post a photo with me at least have the decency to go do one… I may be millwall but you are big a disgrace to the club.

17 Mar 2024 22:51:57
Yes Cleggy. I enjoy very much. 🤍💙💛.

17 Mar 2024 22:57:35
Berm Is this not a "banter" site? Surely you see a modicum of whimsicality? Going for a drink 🍻. Bottoms up.

18 Mar 2024 06:49:10
George you have been on this site for a long time and should know by now some can give it but can't take it🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

18 Mar 2024 07:10:23
No I don’t George …. I see it as keyboard worroris typing away what they would never say to my face…. Frankly it’s pathetic…. Least wafdolf and stattler from the muppets were funny

And they’d have the balls to meet me and they litterally had no back bone… see that comment was Whitty as they were puppets but more real men than you and baz … you get the joke?

18 Mar 2024 07:21:19
Far from whimsical. That would suggest a level of humour. It’s just typical boring, repetitive, childish toss. Man up and meet the fella; you may find a bloke to get on with, rather than attempt to playground bully, which is just very small, and sad.

18 Mar 2024 10:11:48
Spot on Whitey . plus add on humongous amounts of hypocrisy.

18 Mar 2024 17:30:33
Yes Whitey, indeed. The one slinging the muck in this post is the one who is least able to take it too.
