BAL Football thread 2017/2018 season

It’s all they are talking about on the wireless this week.
Absolutely daft!
A player blocks another from getting to the ball as it goes out for a goal kick - it used to be called obstruction or ungentlemanly conduct and a indirect free kick to the attacking side. Now it’s a free kick to the defence as the attacker has been adjudged to have fouled while playing the game.
Derby are saying it’s ‘ungentleman like behaviour’ to do your homework on the opposition ie to watch them train.
What’s so secretive that football is so special?

Nothing!!!!

He really didn’t need to look at the training ground, we played them off the park, like we do most teams every week. It’s the best football Leeds have played for years!!!

The EFL and clubs in that division don’t want Leeds out due to the crowds they bring in and money generated. Why would you want them out? Bit like the EU not wanting the UK to leave!!!

I reckon you did really well getting biesla . I know he had a rough time in southern france but he is the guy all the other so called top managers studied to develop their style and tac tics

Dirty Leeds, Cloughie was right.

Anyway, The Frank Lampard effect is in full swing at Derby, we maybe not good enough to go up, but we have given a very good account against 3 prem teams this season, last night even VAR couldnt beat us!

You rams!

You mean 'Honest Brian' 😀

its hilarious really this spy gate, Bielsa doing his power point presentation, wow, like no other manager does this?

Face facts, what hes done is against the good will of the game and its wrong.

leeds found out from that spying mission that Harry Wilson wasnt fit, so they had the edge, that said, theyd still have beaten us!

Heard on the wireless today that FIFA 2018 ( video game) has a section for team managers to look at opposition training! Jim White show. Talk sport.

I for one will look forward to seeing Leeds in the premiership . When I grew up Leeds were a massive club . Pretty much owned the first division and fa cup . Leeds are a big club its where they belong . Oh yeah derby were ok .

 

[Lee@emctiles]

Ashley Cole to Derby?

Ok I can't remember any derby players other than Bruce Rioch. They didn't set the world alight .

Anybody that hasn't watched "that damned united" should do . A great film with a lead role played amazingly well by a great actor .

I don’t think that Leeds players/family would agree.

I'm thinking more as a character study but now I'm getting a bit chin strokey and making out like I know about this stuff
