FA Cup weekend and midweek Prem Games up to the 27th **SPOILERS**

[Gilly]

Your player didnt even get any of the ball when he hacked down Defoe.

So? I'm not talking about that one, I'm talking about the Dawson/Beckford one. How could it possibly not be a pen? You have to play the ball before the man, Dawson played Beckford with both legs before any touch on the ball.

He gets the ball with his right and then his left comes around. What's he supposed to do? Cut his left leg off?

No, just play the ball first. He clearly didn't, as was agreed by the guys in the studio who have had plenty of chances to view it.

They aren't big enough to admit it, they're just bitter because they blew it

No, because in my opinion, looking at the replay, it looks like Dawson got the ball first. If he didn't, of course it would be an obvious penalty.

However, there is no way the ref is certain, and considering he didn't give us a blatant penalty in the 1st half, i'd have expect him to be consistent. Obviously not.

 

[qqg3]

That's no pen for me.

Eh? Clearly cut out Beckfords right ankle first, front angle clearly shows ball only changes direction when Beck' goes down. Clear penalty I think.

 

[el_dazza]

You know i'm right, it's only the Spuds fans that think it wasn't a penalty. It clearly was, he took his right leg out before he got anywhere near the ball

 

[Gilly]

For other fans to be backing Leeds you know they must be serious

 

[Andybtsn]

Spurs have lost several games this season they haven't deserved to loose, it swings both ways

^^^^

Let's take this into account for penalties too then

To be fair a Prem club shouldn't be crying about penalties given or not given..They're playing a club 40+ places below them, they should be able to beat them comfortably.

We took a penalty, you didn't. End of

I have no idea why, but I jumped up and shouted "******* COME ON!!" when you were awarded the pen.. oops

 

[Gilly]

Watching the coverage FA Cup extra on the red button. Pav's goal was rubbish. Good build-up but he completely scuffed the finish.

 

[CliffyBiro]

Look forward to beating you on your own turf.

 

[Gilly]

Look forward to you attempting it Might well go!

There's only one Simon Grayson!

 

[Xinn]

Well now I've composed myself

Great game, thought a draw was a fair result. We played well for the last 75 min lucky Casper kept us in it throughout the game, some great saves from him especially the penalty.

Think for the reply they need to look after Bale some more and also Lennon on the other side if he is back for the replay.

Great performances from Killa and Kisnorbo too.Now if we could just play like that in the league.

 

[Twinblade]

Good game that, and fair play to Leeds, played the game you would expect a lower league side to (like it was their cup final, nothing to lose and went for it). We knew what to expect when they beat United, and to be fair, on a different day we would have hammered them, but their keeper was superb.

Beckford and Snodgrass impressed me for Leeds and on that (and the Utd performance) I would expect them to be a Premiership side with the next 3 seasons, and they wont be struggling at that (although I guess a big part of that would rely on Beckford staying).

We should have won, didnt, and paid the price with a dodgy decision at the end, dont know what Dawson was thinking. Stand him up and games won, he wouldnt have cut the ball across, even if he managed to, Leeds had no-one in the box to latch on to you. Looking forward to the replay.

It that British thing of always supporting the underdog. I was also surprised by how glad I was that they scored that to get the replay.

You know for a fact Ledley King would have stood him up, goal-side of him, and made him play.

Dawson just isn't very good.

 

[Jakstaar2007]

I would rate Dawson up their with King, but his past two games have been pretty poor. Before that, he had been, easily, one of the best centrebacks of recent weeks.

 

[Gilly]

I've never seen him do anything worthy of Prem status. He must have something about him, Harry is no mug and he made him captain today, I've just never seen it. He was dire at Forest too.

 

[Jakstaar2007]

To be fair to him, he just gets on with it. If you don't watch Spurs very often you probably wouldn't notice him. But he is very good in the air, and a similar player to King, I'd say.

 

[FrankJH]

definite penalty - glad Leeds got the draw they deserved

 

[Andybtsn]

Look forward to beating you on your own turf.

Oooh, the confidence. Good luck. You sound like my confident friend who gave me a load of guff before this game how you'd demolish us

There's so little between all those penalties I dunno why people are moaning, what happens happens TBH
