Holloway Takes Leaf Out Of Warnock's Book After Draw With Leeds

It's never the players' fault is it? Somewhere along the line, if you don't get the result you want, the referee is to blame.

Usually it is Warnock who is moaning, but this time it was Holloway. According to the talking scarecrow, Leeds should have been down to nine men. Well I'm sorry Olly, I can't agree.

The yellow card given to Warnock for bringing down Zaha was marginal but, on balance, was just about right. It was a cynical and professional foul, no doubt, but there was another Leeds defender on Zaha's heels, and there's no guarantee he would have had a clear goal scoring opportunity but for Warnock's tackle.

As for Olly's claim that Varney should have gone for a second yellow for his dive in the box, that is absurd. Yes, the first half tackle probably deserved a yellow but it wasn't given. Had it been, would Varney have taken that tumble when on a yellow? No one can say, but he would have to be incredibly stupid to do so and risk a second yellow. Player's change their game after a yellow, otherwise every game would see a red card or two.

Overall, a draw was a fair result. Olly should acknowledge this and move on.

      It's because of his hatred for Warnock, and what he tried to do to west ham while in charge at sheff utd

      Nonsense, I support the idea of building a statue of Warnock outside Upton Park. If he hadn't ballsed it up so badly at Sheffield United, we would have gone down!

    Varney's yellow for a dive was ridiculous, he just stretch out and lost his footing, he didn't look for a penalty, and wasn't claiming for one either.
    It was a great game to watch, and no manager could complain about not enough cards I think the ref was card happy at times.
    It was good to see full blooded football, unlike the ponces in the prem

      The yellow was fully justified. There was no stretch, it was blatant, cynical cheating.

      Do you think the club would fund my return tickets from Bucharest and travel up from Heathrow? I know you are desperate for support these days so perhaps I should ask. West Ham will have a full house next home game, charging full prices! But then, Leeds is a bigger club than West Ham isn't it?

    This article is so bias towards Leeds. You are becoming a true Leeds legend, like Brendan Ormsby. See you at the Peterborough game.

    Thank you for the constant support of all things related to Leeds United A.F.C. and thank you for looking into the possability of attending the game tuesday night.I am afraid i do not think the great Leeds United A.F.C. will pay for your travel costs as it does not make financial common sense.If you are in the country this weekend the famous Yorkshire team is at home to another famous yorkshire club Huddersfield.It is however full price starting at i think around £34,please check with the ticket office on 0871 334 1992.Meanwhile feel free to continue your support of all things related to Leeds United A.F.C.on the t.v,press,your p.c and radio.
