The Silver Fox of the GPG
Leeds 1 - 1 Brentford (Schade)
Yep, we were very careless second half with possession which is what kept them in the huntOur passing second half was also quite sloppy after such a great first half display.

To be fair to them there’s not many “teams like Brentford” comments….. the general analysis is that we are a bloody good team.I couldn't watch the game but I think the fact that Leeds fans, almost to a man, seem absolutely delighted with a point from their first home game against a #teamlikeBrentford tells its own story.
Hopefully Fabio be up to speed shortly so he can be natural replacement / sub for Damsgaard which will allow us to continue to link up midfield and attack as well as providing an additional goal threat. Although once Diouf up to speed we may also see KLP in that role either from start or changing position during a game.
The only almost fit am was FC and not sure he's what we required today AM would have been an option in AMWhy? Have never seen the bloke play, been injured for over a year, I am sure the bloke has great potential, but even if fit is he getting in ahead of the 5-6 for fit ones we had today?
I wish you well with tomorrow’s hangover.Know it’s hard to believe after 70 years of dross but we are currently, genuinely, one of the top ten teams in the world.
Stone Cold Steve sober. Your evidence?I wish you well with tomorrow’s hangover.
The bees are doing great, but be serious, we’re not close to being one of the top ten teams in the world.

Utter nonsense
You mean about Villa, right?Utter nonsense
Agreed. Newcastle are never that good.Utter nonsense
That's three minute highlights for youWasn't able to see the game today but watched the 3 mins highlights which didn't tell me a lot!
Tony Harrington was born in Cleveland, Yorkshire!!!No he doesn’t. He’s Hartlepool through and through.
Tim Howard on the US broadcast crew called it a clear penalty. Schade's brilliant goal came against the most expensive keeper in Premier League history (40M GBP). Trafford is also the 4th most expensive in the world..

Tough to get too disappointed when looking at the end of day table in a Champions League spot. Time to take it to Sunderland at home!

Tony Harrington was born in Cleveland, Yorkshire!!!
He may have emigrated to Hartlepool subsequently.
However, as the saying goes - "You can take a man out of Yorkshire, but you can't take Yorkshire out of the man" means a person’s deep roots, habits, and pride in their home county stay with them forever.
Bollox. It was a stonewall penalty. How can you look at the replays on MOTD and think otherwise. He trod on his foot. He didn't choose to fall over. Why would he in that position?Those posters who doubt the Shade incident was a stamp should look closely at the photograph above. Close examination will just show the toe of Shade boot under the Leeds boot.
It’s a penalty all day long, no discussion needed. What makes it worse is literally seconds later as Leeds clear the ball a foul is given against Brentford for less contact…Bollox. It was a stonewall penalty. How can you look at the replays on MOTD and think otherwise. He trod on his foot. He didn't choose to fall over. Why would he in that position?
If the ref thinks it's a dive then he should have booked Kevin.
Wtf VAR was thinking escapes me.
Well that’s fairly conclusive thenI wasn’t at the game nor was I able to see it on TV, but with the number of Bees supporters slating Harrington off I can tell he had a poor game and seemingly bias towards Leeds.
Sorry to break it to you, but Cleveland doesn’t exist. He’s a Hartlepool fan.Tony Harrington was born in Cleveland, Yorkshire!!!

I had the impression the ref blew the whistle quickly to get VAR involved about the previous play. My first reaction was that Schade was trailing his leg and falling too easily, but the replays show it was a pen, hard to understand what the VAR was viewing thoughIt’s a penalty all day long, no discussion needed. What makes it worse is literally seconds later as Leeds clear the ball a foul is given against Brentford for less contact…
Well, the ref was from Yorkshire. So of course it wasn’t given.Re the not given penalty, I didn’t see the game but written commentary on Sky states that had penalty been given VAR would not have overturned decision. No good to us I know
I’ve never heard of Hartlepool!No he doesn’t. He’s Hartlepool through and through.
Anyone who reckons Kev went down softly, where are you expecting him to go?
Kev is moving forwards to the ball and the defenders leg comes across him and then lands on his foot.
What was Kev meant to do, magically remove his foot from under the defender and hurdle over his leg?

Cleveland is about as far from Leeds as you can get while still being in Yorkshire. It’s like calling people from Dorset Londoners.Tony Harrington was born in Cleveland, Yorkshire!!!

You do realise that most of Yorkshire hates Leeds with a passion greater even than the rest of the country?Well, the ref was from Yorkshire. So of course it wasn’t given.
New Brentford alert!!!I’ve never heard of Hartlepool!
But I'd wager that every single other person on this board has and knows exactly where it is. Many, many of us will also have been there to watch Brentford play.I’ve never heard of Hartlepool!
(I have heard of Hartlepool, but only because I’ve done my research and due diligence on club history, it was just funnier in my head to say that I hadn’t)New Brentford alert!!!
You know that’s a good point I hadn’t thought about. Unfortunately it doesn’t fit my agenda, so I will be disregarding. The league is corrupt and out to get us, don’t you see?You do realise that most of Yorkshire hates Leeds with a passion greater even than the rest of the country?
It wasn't, Schade made the most of it and was never getting it. I would be annoyed if that was given against us.How that wasn't a pen on Schade I will never know. Homer ref without a doubt.
You can see from the panicked wave of the hand from the defender that he knew it was a foul.

True, but they seemed more limited than usual given that we apparently dominated the 1st half but showed almost nothing of it!That's three minute highlights for you
Despite dominating there wasn’t too many good chances. Which is what they tend to show in highlightsTrue, but they seemed more limited than usual given that we apparently dominated the 1st half but showed almost nothing of it!
We had Leeds fans initiate conversation on 3 occasions on the walk back to the car. All were very complimentary about how we played and singling out individual players - Dams, Schade & Thiago. One even stated we are good enough for top 4!To be fair to them there’s not many “teams like Brentford” comments….. the general analysis is that we are a bloody good team.
Well to flip it on it's head, it didn't seem like a performance of a ref who hates LeedsYou do realise that most of Yorkshire hates Leeds with a passion greater even than the rest of the country?
I wouldnt be annoyed.It wasn't, Schade made the most of it and was never getting it. I would be annoyed if that was given against us.
That was Dan "im really really fast,but crap at football" James, proving he now doesnt have any reddeming features to his game.A bit concerned with the chance where Dan James broke in the 2nd half, although KLP showed great pace to catch him up/force his abysmal cross!!!
What happened that he had 60 yards of open space in front of him when he got the ball?!!
Horrible flashback to Bournemouth Play Off Semi Final!!!![]()
It was, but I would argue Wilson ran into Collins and collapsed holding his face. The ball was long dead, stupid decision.
I wouldnt be annoyed.
I would accept it was a clear penalty.
They are. I live in Knaresborough and have four associates who are dirty Leeds. They all text me saying they’d got away with it and in fairness to a man praised us as an excellent side. It goes to prove what we all know, you need at least a two goal cushion at most levels, such a shame we didn’t hold out but we were superb in the first half. Things rarely stay the same in a game especially after a team has had a very strong team talk at half time. We look a different proposition from last year. I want to keep a sense of perspective but I’m thinking league and cup double for starters.I couldn't watch the game but I think the fact that Leeds fans, almost to a man, seem absolutely delighted with a point from their first home game against a #teamlikeBrentford tells its own story.
