EnclosureSurge Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 I love threads that start..."That throw-in!" or "Did you see that goal-kick?" and such like... Anyway... It's in time-honoured tradition that I begin by saying, mods feel free to merge and haven't seen this posted anywhere (but I couldn't be arsed looking, that's why)... But what the **** was their no 18 doing when he welted the ball into the Nelson Mandela gardens during a break in play? What a madman. Liked the way he 'pretended' to have an injury after that, to get subbed at h-t (worked a treat). But not as much as I loved the way, when his orange dap came off, he slipped over but then got up and played on. Unlike their right winger, who fell over at every opportunity but was miraculously ok ten seconds later. Anyway, anyone see no 18 launch the ball into orbit?

It was quite a humerous moment he clearly saw the red mist for a few minutes at the end of the half - he was lucky to not be sent off So no real surprise to see him subbed at half time - Leeds to have this ability to have nut jobs at centre half though, they bombed one out and replaced with him The ball has just been caught !

Green had previously launched the ball into the Lansdown stand for no apparent reason as well. Apart from being quite bizarre it's also not such a great idea. A few years back when I was sitting in the Atyeo, we'd conceded yet another goal and a frustrated David James launched the ball high into the stand, which rebounded, came back down and smacked the old fella sat in front of us on the head. Not good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coxy27 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 The ball was flat! There was a flat ball which Rob Green booted into the stand so it wouldn't be recycled into play, however, it was returned by the fans and it got back on to the pitch. So at the next break in play, the defender hoofed to out of the stadium to make sure they didn't have to use it again. He tried to explain that, but was booked. I actually think it was very harsh and the referee could have applied some common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 we were a bit confused, in the SS…they had a goal kick and he hoofed it out of the stadium. I didn't realise it was flat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeAman08 Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 It wasn't just one. After Jansson booted the original ball out, Rob Green complained about the next one. Ref squeezed it and bounced it before saying it was fine and play continued. Weird one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't help himself, got himself rattled and had to come off at half time, much to our advantage. I thought he looked an excellent centre back.

The one that Green booted out was given to a steward/official after it came back in play (I watched it happen) so it can't have been the same one. Unless the steward didn't realise it was supposed to be gotten rid of and put it back with the rest of the balls? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fatalist Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 It was the most weird thing for a player to do since the World Cup years ago, when a guy from one of the African countries broke from the defensive wall at a free kick against his team and belted the ball up the other end.

Ridiculous just to hoof the ball out of the stadium, deservedly booked. Exactly. What was the ref going to do if he allowed that, every time anyone wants to waste a bit of time, kill the momentum and allow players a chance to regroup and get into position? The player could just boot a ball out of the stadium and say it was flat whether it was or not. The player did that and delayed the game, almost like when they are booked for taking their shirt off when celebrating as far as the Ref is concerned. Yes it sounds harsh when you write it down like this but it was no accident. Nor was it an accident when moments later the player hauled the Ref back to complain, players have been booked for less in recent games, and even sent off. This I think led to Tomlin and another Leeds player being booked shortly after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the commentary mentioned something about 'naive Africans'. Possibly the first use of this tired old gael cliche. It was certainly trotted out for Cameroon in 90, and still puts in an appearance (usually in the likes of Clyde "Too Many Ys" Tyldesley's mouth) to this day any time an African nation does something a little silly at a World Cup. Do they use this phrase commentating on the African Cup of Nations games?). Someone'll find the youtube clip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted September 28, 2016 Report Share Posted September 28, 2016 Read a few comments on social media from Leeds fans earlier in the week as to how their no. 18 (Pontus Jansson) was going to "snap Tammy in half", "eat him for breakfast" (though surely at that time of the night it would technically be "dinner" in a middle class household, or "tea" elsewhere). Anyway, I thought he was very impressive early on but then he just completely lost it, after that bizarre incident with kicking it into the crowd (very Gerald Lavin) he then started arguing with his central defensive partner and then had that wild fly hack at the ball near his own goal line that went out for the last corner of the first half. It was no surprise at all he was subbed off at HT, his head had gone and he'd had definitely collected a second yellow otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
