*~*~* Dirty Leeds v Sunderland match thread *~*~*

[hank evans]

Yet we come away with a point against a team fighting for automatic promotion.

It wasn’t shite, I think we could’ve used the ball a lot better and caused them a few more problems but they for all their running didn’t create a clear cut chance from memory,onien a lucky boy but we don’t tend to get many go our way. A good point for me

One swallow...

Remember what happened after our last decent away performance and we've taken only 6 points from the last 30 points - lets not get carried away!

About time we got the benefit of the decisions though.

i quite enjoyed that last night. i thought we played well against a side likely to go up. one thing that continually disappoints me is jobe not using his size more and being a lot more aggressive. when he's playing up front he looks very easy to defend against, they should be bouncing of him the size of him.
nightmare journey on the way back with traffic and road closures.

edit, great atmosphere and leeds were only loud in patches. nice to go to a proper old school ground but getting in is always the same, other grounds hardly ever have queues like that to get in and the stewards were neither use nor ornament.

From an old timers point of view. Any point against Leeds is a good one.
As good as the derby at one time.

I thought we played very well defensively. A good point. Still want Speakman & Dodds out though.

Which derby ??

 

[ihatethemags]

If you think we were unfairly treated tonight by the officials I give up.

Definitely not, but yellows for some of the early challenges, games gone soft.

 

[southstander]

Officials were shit. Missed two penalties for them, some very soft yellows for us and completely missed Clarke being felled off the ball just before half time.

Any point away from home is brilliant

Hope that’s us safe

Thought we were comfortable throughout. Only time I was nervous was when the 3 minutes additional time was up THEN Dodds made a sub to extend the additional time by another 30 seconds or so

In fairness Dodds came away with credit having snuffed out Leeds a second time as caretaker. Considering they had so much riding on the match we fought well and deserved a point. Credit where its due.

Any videos of the Ballard handball? Didn't notice it at the game.

Agreed. Unexpected, but he executed his plan so hats off.

Legitimately can't believe that handball wasn't given

Ref or officials haven’t seen it so can’t be given. Happened to us lots of times.
