27 out of our last 32 FA Cup ties have been away. Unbelievable stat.

I had to comment on some of your remarks about VAR.
Do you realise it will ruin our game of football.
We need to think about this, stand up and be counted instead of lying down and accept all changes, plus everything else we are being told to do.
Fine use VAR to see if the ball has crossed the line, or for simulated penalty appeals.
But to have a goal ruled out because of a pubic hair is overstepping the mark.
That decision last night took nearly 5 minutes to sort out, where is the fun in that, even if it had been given, the fun has been dampened and lost.

I agree with much of your points VD about VAR

BUT where was your outrage and disdain of VAR when this happened to Bamford against Palace which was even more controversial?

You merely VD posted on the Leeds Banter site after the Palace game one word a rather mocking and gloating ' ouch'🤔.

Yes I remember, and true I probably was a bit sarcastic to be fair.
As I remember I took a load of banter from you guys, what with Grealish and the obvious hate for Villa and us fans, yet I think I remained very dignified and polite throughout.
I would like to think we have all grown up a bit since, and in this instance I think most of us have the same views on VAR.
We have come 146 years using mans own judgement, and yes there have been mistakes made, mistakes have also been made using the very clever technology called VAR, if that`s progress, we are done mate.
I short it stinks, and given time it will undoubtedly ruin our game.

VD LUFC need to be awarded the 1975 European Cup retrospectively due to the most heinous refereeing decisions of all time in the Final, No sporting club in the history of Earth has been mistreated by authorities more than LUFC and yes I'm still bitter. So all this talk about VAR, just opens up old wounds.

Leedsdave, did your love for Leeds come from our new 3rd kit? It looks a bit like your ex's doesn't it?

Agree2 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 22:15:10
Couldnt agree more George and that's not the only European final either!

I agree with Leedsdave (wtf, did I just type that? ) VAR is ruining the game. But also the rule makers are.
Offside should not be about an arm or a leg, torso only, otherwise a striker has to be 1 yard behind a defender when the ball is played to be confident they are not offside.
Also the time taken proves most of the decisions were not clear and obvious.

GW, I can understand being annoyed and feeling hard done by, any passionate fans would, and it might even hurt a bit.
But to feel bitter about something that happened 46 years ago, is way beyond me, if you feel like that you are carrying a heavy burden.
You beat us 0 - 3 a few weeks ago, its all done and dusted, move on and look forward to the next game.

Mr Integrity's bitterness extends much further back than 35 years. That's just a drop in the ocean compared to the War of the Roses. He is also still pished off about Cain killing Abel.

VAR is not ruining the game, it is the only way forward

with Var Maradona hand of god would not of counted, England might have two World Cups

Henry disgrace against Ireland wouldn't of counted the people of Ireland would of had a summer of cheer and the players a once in a lifetime opporutnity

years back we played Watford in playoffs, Forster should of been sent off with leeds getting a pen after about 12 minutes. that could of seen us go up and not have 16 years of tripe football and plunged depths of league one

football is too important to get things wrong. Var is not the problem

the way it is implemented is the problem and what is so annoying is it is so easy to fix. I could fix Var in about 15 minutes without even having to give it too much thought

it will always change the impulse of a goal but then if the goal shouldn't stand then it should be ruled out and if it does stand we celebrate it then. tell me if we scored a goal that won us the league. but we have to wait five minutes for var to allow it it still wouldn't be the sweetest feeling. of course it would

VAR is great and the way forward the idiots making the rules and implementing Var are the problem.

I hope we take the FA cup seriously this season, would like us to play a strong team against Crawley not all the under23's.

Believable2 Unbelievable0

01 Dec 2020 09:07:39
Sorry, I disagree Mezz. The only thing that matters is our Prem survival and with a small squad and a draining system, anything that gets in the way must be ignored.
I would hate to win the FA cup and be relegated, same season.

Agree3 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 10:18:21
Respect your view Leodis, but also disagree. (Maybe it's an age thing on my part as the FA cup used to mean something) Yes staying in the premiership is our main priority but a good cup run can do wonders for team spirit. Winning like losing becomes a habit, and winning teams seldom look tired. Last season we played many games in a short time, and the team won the league in style.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 10:23:13
Can empathise a tad with Mezzer but do still agree with Leo on this one.

The only thing that really matters this. season is ( establishing ourselves) in the EPL.

Would not surp6se me if Bielsa plays ( some of ) the U23s at Crawley

would have been helpful if Leeds had been drawn at home for a change.

Not much value in a cup run with no fans so for this season I'd pass.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 12:48:47
I agree with both sides of the arguement

personally I couldn't care less about the cup and a day at Wembley with no fans seems akin to going to an empty borthel

I think we have some great youngster and love to see them in the cup. I have no idea if we recall bogatuz and Edmondson but also the youngsters at the club. love to see them do there bit in a cup run and think they could make a claim to the first team so it could be win win.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 15:00:34
Mezz I agree with your general sentiment but see no reason why we can't play virtually all the U23s. They should be capable of defeating Creepy.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 15:09:34
Would like to think so George, sadly not worked out well in the previous couple of seasons. Besides that throws up the kiko factor, can see several shots whizzing past him!

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 16:12:47
Mezz Caprile plays. Kiko may even be gone by then.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 16:20:34
Mezzanine Also, we can mix and match from the senior squad. Best of the U23s along with Alioski who's good in cup games, Dallas who's also good along with say Pablo and Costa. G&G up front with Roberts to come on late lol.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 17:00:20
FA Cup will always be special to me my generation saw it at his biggest when it was the best thing to win in many respects plus I never want my team to lose.

Agree1 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 17:27:35
We WILL NOT be relegated!
It's about winning trophies. It's only eight games to win the cup .
It's not like they have to play Saturday/ Wednesday like in the championship. You never know by next May we might even be able to go to Wembley to see Captain Phillips lift the trophy! 🏆😉.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 17:28:30
Really looking forward too this cup match as a friend off mines, son plays left back for Crawley. So Iv a good bit off interest in it. Hope he plays well but also gets beat. Lol. Good luck josh. But think it will end in tears. 😂😂⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️💛🤍💙. MOT.

01 Dec 2020 18:53:08
Even less than eight games Danum . with no replays just 6 games needed to win the FA Cup
3rd round,4th,5th,6th, semi final and final.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 20:23:54
Think Danum still thinks where in League 1 KO 😂😂.

01 Dec 2020 20:52:49
Danum Good posting plus winning a trophy or the prospect of doing so might increase the chances of an extended Bielsa stay.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 20:55:15
I say we do both. Play the kids AND win the cup!

Until managers, players and fans whose team have just benefited from a ludicrous VAR decision, make themselves very vocal about how VAR is spoiling the game, then nothing will happen, just looks like sour grapes from the losers as far as I’m concerned.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

{Ed001's Note - they have done but it never gets reported because it is not going to draw clicks or views.}

01 Dec 2020 08:22:11
Agreed but I didn’t hear David Moyes complain in his post match interview.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 12:50:21
I can't remember who it was but I saw one prem manager say Var got it wrong and his team was lucky it didn't make any difference

VAR is not the problem VAR is fantastic and will improve the game. the trouble is the way it is enforced. they need to update the rules to make VAR work better.

Agree0 Disagree0

01 Dec 2020 15:05:28
Berm It's not the way it's enforced which is the problem. VAR is good I'll agree but it's the decisions they're making in the super fine instances. They're just wrong. Rules should be amended to incorporate common sense into the interpretation of the rules. Calling something offside due to the thickness of an attacker's microbe on his sleeve has as much integrity as your dodged tat.

Agree1 Disagree0

02 Dec 2020 15:21:27
George read my post

you disagree with it then agree with my point

I say they need to update the rules. you say I am wrong and then say rules need to be amended?
