Poyet's post-match interview

[Ninja Elephant]

Thought Brown was obnoxious..deliberately tried to get Bridge booked and made sure Bridcutt did

I hate him. Horrible footballer. But the sort of cynical "pro" that Warnock and similarly old school managers love. His breed has died out though, and long may it remain dead.

To be fair some of our players go down very easily too.

Amen brother. It's not a particularly pleasant fact, but fact it is.

 

[seagullsovergrimsby]

Leeds should've had at least 9 yellows. He was letting them get away with murder. Constant shirt pulling, diving, cynical fouls.

We were doing the same to be fair.

 

[One Teddy Maybank]

Don't forget Warnock had a pop at Chelsea during the week, not allowed to do that in Gus's eyes.

He was correct about Varney diving, but we do it as well.

 

[sant andreu]

we may moan about Brown but Crofts fouled just as badly in the last minute. I laughed when he did it but would've been crying had they scored as they almost did from the free kick

 

[Diego Napier]

Referee had a very good game. All three were penalties.

Referee had a shocker, got conned too often and failed to give cautions on too many occasions.

Agree it was a cynical foul but I think Crofts did it as otherwise they would have been 1-on-1 with El-Abd who was struggling to walk let alone play football after pulling his hamstring. I think it was a case of taking one for the team...

 

[Stumpy Tim]

The latter two penalties were very soft, but the ref was consistent. I actually thought the ref had a decent game. I know it's not done, but I like Colin and the way he sets his team up. Yes they're a bit cynical, but the people moaning about that are probably the same people who laugh when El-Abd spends a game trying to wind up the opposition striker - like he was doing with Diouf the whole game. It's part and parcel of the game. Last night alone it could be argued CMS dived for the final penalty, Crofts did a cynical foul on Brown at the end, and El-Abd was trying to get Diouf sent off all game - I don't see many people complaining those things on this board.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

We all know Warnock is a hypocrite. Diouf is a sewer rat yet he was more than happy to sign him this season. I hate his teams

I don't hold him in such high esteem

Which he was booked for !!

As should Brown have been for the free kick and therefore sent off

Best foul of the season!

That was my thoughts at the time, that he took one for the team.

The Varney pen was marginal, but you cannot get away from the fact that Brown should have gone for that cynical tug on the edge it was a definite yellow... ref bottled it.

 

[Aadam]

Buckley went down every time the wind changed direction. El-Abd was all over Diouf and Becchio. Brighton gave as good as they got.

From the south, it looked like hew was reaching for a card till about 3 Leeds ran in between him and Brown presumably to remind him he was already on a yellow. Don't think their pen would have been given if CMS had not already had one either.....

 

[Ninja Elephant]

What a beautiful phrase! But not true last night. He often does fall over a lot, but that wasn't the case last night.

 

[Triggaaar]

got a very good point though with people like Warnock who bang on and on about stuff like diving and then his own players go down so easily, let's hear him have a go at his own players some time.

Agreed. I didn't think about it until Gus pointed out, then I could picture all the times I've seen Warnock rant and about opposing players and managers.

 

[tubby]

Unfortunately we got done for both goals by players going down too easy. The first goal was the obvious one but their second goal came about when Buckley had the ball around halfway facing our goal with a defender behind him but when he felt the defender he flopped to the floor. He should have been strong and held the defender off and then Leeds would not have got the ball and scored. The way we are going down easily has increased dramatically of late and it is costing us.

he was making a big song and dance about it only a week or two ago

 

[u'vebeenamexed]

Brown deliberately cut across Crofts and disgracefully waited for the foul - filthy Leeds !
