Mr Popodopolous Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 The one that best fitted the criteria was IMO the 2017 home game, Leeds under Bielsa very good so more often outplayed. Not the best shape by us tactically for the away gsme there in 2020 albeit they were Champions for a reason but we didn't necessarily help ourselves. Games in the early 2010s under Millen and McInnes yes we were not great vs them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The QPR squealing on this has been astonishing. He even puts his hands up to tell the referee no contact was made. What should he have done, let the studs smash his shin? Any keeper going at pace like this should be sent off. Edited October 5, 2023 by SR1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 29 minutes ago, daored said: Going back a very long time, in 1954, we signed the Leeds captain Tommy Burden. He had got a job in Clarks Shoes and wanted to play part time near Street. A superb midfielder who captained City in his later career and gave us about eight years of quality before retirement. So, for me, he has to be in the eleven. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was no contact but could be a red for being reckless. Dont see a ban on Bamford at all. He does go down but is up very quickly. I think he is entitled to get out the way and protect himself. If he goes rolling around clutching his shin then yea, sure. I think you are giving him the benefit of a lot of doubt however saying he was clearly indicating no contact. Seems to be appealing for a foul, which given the play of the goalie, it arguably was, even with the no contact.

Mr Popodopolous Posted October 5, 2023 Report Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) If applying rules consistently there could be a case for a Bamford ban- Sykes got a 4 game ban for next to nothing, retrospectively at Swansea- reason 4 not 3 as it was the 2nd suspension of the season.

Goalkeeper comes charging out studs in the air. The forward had to dive out of the way. HT was interesting with a ‘manager’ outside of the dressing room telling me that no foul was committed. It was as the intention was clear. No one ever asked me about it subsequently so I guess others agreed. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robinforlife2 Posted October 7, 2023 Report Share Posted October 7, 2023 In the last 3 seasons, I've seen City play 9 times and we've won every time. I don't get to many games any more because I don't have the time, but I have taken the plunge for my business this season, and decided to sponsor a match later in the season, so I can take a few friends to a game later in the season. Well as I have a good client in Leeds, he's treated me to hospitality at Leeds today, and like I said, the last 9 games I've been to, we've won. So 3pts are in the bag lads 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
