Aston Villa - extremely poor 21:31 - Jun 17 with 1842 views | WarkTheWarkITFC | Last season they ended up with a mass brawl because Leeds scored when they expected them to kick the ball out. Leeds didn’t have to. But I’m sure we all agree it was the right thing to do letting Villa score a walk in because of the farcical way Leeds looked like they were going to kick it out then scored. Given how outraged they were it just goes to show their true colours today. Knowing at half time that Sheffield United had a legitimate goal not given because the technology wasn’t working, knowing it was now working etc I would have expected them to do the right thing and let united score from kick off. Obviously money talks and now the shoes on the other foot they can be hypocritical. For me, what Leeds did was allowed under the rules. They shouldn’t have done it but it would have been less of a gesture for Villa to let a walk in than Leeds allowing one. I already hate them for 1981 but thought that was really poor on their part. No doubt only concerned with survival and not being hypocrites. | |

Didn't Arsenal allow someone to walk in a goal many years ago? | |

I think you may be referring to a cup tie v Sheffield United where Ray Parlour threw the ball back into the Sheff Utd half, only for Kanu to intercept and square for Overmars? to score the winner. Wenger offered Sheff Utd a replayed game as a result. I'm pretty sure something happened in a Forest v Leicester League Cup tie where someone was allowed to score an unchallenged goal. | |

Quite. The Leeds situation had nothing to do with the officials. | |

Oh yeah that was it. It was overmars and Kanu. I’m pretty sure Steve Bruce embarrassed himself publicly, not for the last time, and threatened to pull his team off . Wenger offered up the replay immediately. | |

Forest vs Leicester was abandoned after one of the players was taken seriously ill. The goal was to reflect the score at the time. https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/game-off-after-cla | |

I wouldn't wish being "pulled off" by Steve Bruce on any one. | | | |
