Leeds Forums 10:18 - Sep 1 with 13705 views | BenJ94 | I’ve had much pleasure reading the match threads on various Leeds forums, especially when we scored and the total meltdown that followed it. This was part of a comment posted that shows just how much that loss hurt them. Hilarious 😂 * Swansea cheating. Perhaps I'm being a bit harsh on the ref, as it certainly looked like Swansea had spent a lot of time on the training pitch focussing on diving and any other form of cheating they could think of. It wasn't even just one culprit - there were quite a few at it, which makes me suspect that it was prearranged. The consensus was that they were akin to Subbuteo figures that blew over in the slightest wind. Their #22, whoever he is, was an absolute disgrace. Spent more time on his arse feigning injury before sprinting off when the inevitable foul was given. The most laughable was in the first half. Alioski, all 6 stone of him, ran past their hulking #5. I could see no contact, but the #5 went down as though Alioski had driven a sword through his heart. Now the funny thing is that he was stationary, and Alioski was screaming past him. If there was the slightest contact, the laws of physics would have Alioski flying through the air, or flattened. Neither happened. He continued on his way. Yet the ref made the most improbable decision. This happened time & time again. Then there were the substitutions. Remember this new rule about leaving the pitch by the shortest route? Well Leeds did, and I would hope that Swansea & the ref did. But Swansea pointedly chose the slowest routes every time, as part of their time-wasting campaign. Did the ref object? Nope - he even escorted one of their players from the penalty box to the halfway line. Probably arranging their shower activities. * Timewasting. Right from the start, Swansea were playing for time. I was absolutely stunned. Here we had a team renowned for playing good football, & sharing top spot with us. You'd surely expect them to get stuck in. But no, every opportunity to waste time was employed. Goalie changing sides for kicks, going down like they've been shot & staying there overly long for the smallest infraction, rolling about clutching various bits of their bodies before sprinting away clearly pain & injury free, and standing over our (occasional) free kicks, even in our half, in order to prevent us taking a swift free kick | | | | |

Leeds Forums on 10:32 - Sep 1 with 6840 views | Fireboy2 | They really need to have a good look at themselves instead of blaming others. They were niggly and imo deserved more yellow cards. Re the subs fair do's that cheating cvnt bamford went off correctly and im glad he did as he got the abuse he deserves from us, iirc at that time of the ayew substitution one of their players was getting treated for an injury so it didnt matter which route he took. I spoke to a few leeds fans in a pub after the game and even though they were generous in praising us and vice versa from me they still have a slight air of superiority about them which makes them think that they have a divine right to be in the PL, i pointed out that being a biggish club doesnt give them the right to be in the PL which they seem to take well, we had a good chat as these were good knowledgeable fair fans but not all of them are like that, every team has alot of one eyed fans and leeds seem have their fair share.

Leeds Forums on 10:50 - Sep 1 with 6697 views | Highjack | So we’ve finally started doing what every other away team has been doing since the dawn of time. Good. The amount of points we’ve thrown away in recent years trying to play honest football, quick free kicks, not going down when fouled. It’s about time we showed that little bit of ruthlessness and efficiency, particularly away from home. | |

Leeds Forums on 11:55 - Sep 1 with 6377 views | 1964white | We have only ourselves to blame, had we taken our chances we'd have won the game comfortably. I could sense what was coming throughout the 2nd half as we huffed & puffed with nowhere near the same cohesion we'd shown in previous matches. We had three chances to clear our lines from the corner eventually conceding the goal with ten men in & around the box. We certainly didn't deserve to lose the game as we were the better footballing side as expected on home soil but scoring goals & keeping clean sheets is what counts, we did neither & it ultimately cost us three points. As for Swansea, you were disciplined & defended magnificently, your players pressed & harried us into mistakes making it difficult to for us to get a foothold in the game. The Swans took one of their two chances (the other one where our keeper had to make a save) & defended efficiently & that's how to win games especially in tight encounters. Leeds look far more comfortable on our travels. ER use to be a fortress, now it's more like a sweet shop! Look forward to the return match at the Liberty stadium | | | |

We were always going to lose games, no team will go through a championship season without experiencing defeats, that's the nature of football. It was all doom & gloom from some of our fans on the coach back home. FFS it's early doors with a long way to go yet, we lost to a decent side who were joint-top of the league. The bubble is far from burst at this stage of the season [Post edited 1 Sep 2019 12:25]

Indeed, and at the end of it the tw@tinblack gives them a freekick! The ref gave us nothing. They should have had more yellows. When they hit the bar the forward was climbing all over Rodon...…. | |

Of course we have mate I've been following Leeds for 56 years & experienced some woeful displays especially over the last fifteen years. I was at the Liberty stadium eight years ago when you battered us 3-0 with Scott Sinclair running rings round us, I think Luke Moore scored the other goal. Swansea were easily the best side I witnessed in your promotion season . Newport, Histon, Rochdale, Sutton are all painful memories in cup games in recent times. Even the great Revie side suffered poor form with some embarrassing defeats. We were very fortunate to beat the Swans in a 1970 cup match at ER | | | |

It was our CB Liam Cooper whose header hit the bar I thought the ref was poor for both sides | | | |
