[fifty shades of blade]

A pen a mile off, goodman is a wankker

 

[ml1997]

Gerrrin. Cmon Burrows, class.

 

[Belvedere Blade]

Burrows put penalty AWAY Robin's 0 BLADE 1

 

[ForgeBlade]

Doesn't matter where his foot is Goodman you silly twat. 2 arms all over Moore pulling him back = penalty and red card. Suck it up wanker.

 

[drblade]

well done big Kiefer

 

[espoo blade]

How's it going in here?

 

[Chief14]

Don Goodman is a joke

 

[Crabstick]

Don Goodman wanks on all fours.

Get the fuck in

 

[BaldyBlade]

Goodman is the biggest prick I have ever come across

 

[shrubbery]

Goodman is such a biased cunt. Literally every decision that that has gone our way is incorrect in his eyes and everything that has gone against us is a bang on perfect decision.

 

[peakblade]

Looks like its goona be an early night for the forum negative boys

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[LS5 Blade]

There's times when a commentator is best not saying anything. ..

For Leeds supporting Don Goodman, that time is 24/7. I'm starting to wish Cocknose Hinchcliffe was on comms

 

[KiwiBlabe]

Goodman is clueless, yeah he gets a foot on the ball cause he’s dragged Moore back FFS!

Exactly this

Correct, yes he's touched it, but if he hadn't pulled Moore back he couldn't have reached the ball.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Got to turn the screw now against 10 men. Really got a chance to put the tie out of sight tonight now.

 

[Sheffsteel]

Nicely tooked away penalty…..hard and low….giving their goalie no chance.

The commentator agrees with the pen but thinks it should have been a yellow….not a red.

To be honest…..it’s one of them….
Using common sense and in the spirit of the game give the defender the benefit and give him a yellow
However technically you can see why it was a red and I think most refs (who act likes robots) do give a red.

To be fair to the ref maybe he’s thinking our offside goal was a 50/50 decision and he gave it Bristol City
So regards the red card it’s another 50/50 decision….so he’s given it in Uniteds favour.

 

[Seun]

Surely we bring on O'hare for Moore in 2nd half to dominate midfield with a man down

 

[Harry's Game]

Players gone for a half time cup of tea.. Don Goodman gone for a sniff of his bag of glue…

 

[Thrice]

I hope Wilder doesn't go defensive now just because we're 1-0 up. Go for another goal and put this tie to bed.

 

[paidsy]

Was bricking it thinking Moore might get the pen

 

[Hockey'sBeard]

Don Goodman never liked Blades. What a twat - penalty all day long but never understand why a red. I thought double jeopardy rule so must be because last man professional foul.
Ref is bloody awful. Is he a premier league ref who hadn’t got var to back him up?

 

[Belvedere Blade]

 

[espoo blade]

Got to keep our heads and not give this ref any chance to "even things up". Another goal or two would be lovely.

 

[shrubbery]

Sorry but the clearly offside comments are bollocks. It hasn’t looked clearly offside on any angle that has been shown.

 

[WestYorksBlade]

Goodman doing his level best to be even more insufferable than Hinchcliffe

There as bad as each other chum...pair of wankers

 

[dexter101]

This is the bit that's been missing all season. We have the lead, we have a man advange, let's be ruthless and take a big lead back to bdtbl

For me, as others have said, if their bloke isn't dragging Moore back with both arms his foot gets nowhere near the ball. Clear foul way before any attempt to play the ball = red card.

 

[Sparky The Blade]

I’d love to see the VAR lines drawn on it

I think he looks level, maybe, with Moore, but he’s slightly ahead of the ball when Moore heads it. He has to be level or behind the ball.
