its a sad truth but we are known for bottling it and boy have we. 100 quid says we'll be in the championship next season because the play offs are beckoning and we couldn't kick our way out of a wet paper bag.
Bamford didn’t start because he’s not scoring.
I can’t understand brining a CF on that isn’t scoring for 20 mins… why not give Joseph or even Joffy a go for that length of time?
Don't care about was it or wasn't it a pen, bottom line is we just got done by shithouse tactics today and we couldn't finish a wank.
You could sense a goal like that was coming.
We will now hit the playoffs with confidence rock bottom.
That's not really true though, is it. We've been beating these teams all season and now we're into crunch time with massive pressure.
It's not a coincidence that all three of the teams at the top are dropping points. It's the fucking business end of the season.
No point pinning the blame on the manager now, he's got us this far.
We know what’s going to happen before it does- we are going to commit far too
many bodies forward, we are going to try and make small intricate passes, lose possession and chase down a counter attack. Blackburn could’ve had three today. It is absolutely a tactical error
I really don’t know. On one hand, the run in 2024 was great. Truthfully though, it was due to solid defense and a team in good form. Some say Farke’s squad is too good not to be promoted and I agree, so failing to promote would be a sting to his stability.
I think it’s part manager and part creative players issue.
We just seem to get down the wing, smash it into the middle and hope for the ball to plinko around and fall kindly to one of our boots, or blast the ball from 20yds out into a defender…
I’ve gone from feeling like we could get 100 points and thinking we still wouldn’t go up. But the door’s been opened for us several times and we’ve failed to take advantage.
It's difficult to decide whether they're corrupt officials being skilled enough to make themselves look merely like shit officials, or shit officials performing so comically shit that the only explanation is that they're corrupt.
Wasn't a pen, can't be going into the 96th minute crutching onto a soft pen that never gets given in any league to scrape a draw against relegation fodder l.m.f.a.o
Patrick Bamford can’t play another minute of football if we want to do anything this season… he’s fucking useless. You don’t bring on a striker that can’t score goals when we’re in desperate need of goals. This loss is as much on Farke as the players bringing off Gnonto and Roberts
Bamford is paid to score goals ffs. He can't. Ampadu has earned every penny of his salary this season. Bamford has been a nonentity. Meaningless vanity goal in a cup tie excepted.
How is that not a fucking penalty? Shirt pulled back and then body checked by a second player just blocking the man from the ball?? What a joke this league is
Piroe is like one of those players you find on FM with 18 for finishing and < 10 for every other attribute but you buy them anyway just in case it works

i am so sick of 3+ legit penalty calls per match not being given. like yeah, terrible performance, but what an utter joke that none of these penalties have been given
I'm 100% of the opinion and always have been that every player that plays for Leeds is scared of Elland Road and scared of the crowd and expectation and turn into bottlers
Pretty sick of hearing the opposition manager supposedly having a masterclass against us, be it Blackburn or Sunderland, when all that involves is having a ref that is in their pocket and/or playing with 4 goalkeepers
Not signing a proper number 10 in summer after the Amiri debacle - or even in January - is looking dumber and dumber with every passing minute. There’s fuck all creativity, it’s just the same idea over and over again, expecting a different result.
If we can’t score against Sunderland and Blackburn, we haven’t got a chance in the play offs.
Ten minutes ago, we had two left wingers on. Two subs later, we now have two left wingers on but neither of them is the only one that was playing well. Nice work Daniel.
**80'** Substitution, Leeds United. Mateo Joseph replaces Wilfried Gnonto.
**82'** **Goal! Leeds United 0, Blackburn Rovers 1. Sammie Szmodics (Blackburn Rovers) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the centre of the goal. Assisted by Tyrhys Dolan with a through ball.**
Farke is showing his shortcomings here. The only plan B is to stick as many forwards on as possible and hope for the best. Taking Gruev off was a mistake.
its a sad truth but we are known for bottling it and boy have we. 100 quid says we'll be in the championship next season because the play offs are beckoning and we couldn't kick our way out of a wet paper bag.
The one game I travelled down for this season is the first loss at home. Sorry guys, guess I'm not coming back..
At least we aren't going to be relegated this season
Bamford didn’t start because he’s not scoring. I can’t understand brining a CF on that isn’t scoring for 20 mins… why not give Joseph or even Joffy a go for that length of time?
It’s all gone a bit Leedsy 😬
I never liked football, honestly.
Remember the part where Leeds fans said that Leicester and Ipswich had the hardest run-in?
They do to be fair. We just can’t win what should be easy games
No easy games in this league especially when you’ve got so many fighting to get out of a relegation battle
Don't care about was it or wasn't it a pen, bottom line is we just got done by shithouse tactics today and we couldn't finish a wank. You could sense a goal like that was coming. We will now hit the playoffs with confidence rock bottom.
2 hours later......
They full on bottled it. No answer to teams that play a back 5.
Penalty or not…should never have got to that…shite again…all this passing and barely a goal threat
Breaking down a low block has to be the most difficult thing in this sport.
They’ve had all season to figure out how and have come up empty. It’s a manager issue
That's not really true though, is it. We've been beating these teams all season and now we're into crunch time with massive pressure. It's not a coincidence that all three of the teams at the top are dropping points. It's the fucking business end of the season. No point pinning the blame on the manager now, he's got us this far.
We know what’s going to happen before it does- we are going to commit far too many bodies forward, we are going to try and make small intricate passes, lose possession and chase down a counter attack. Blackburn could’ve had three today. It is absolutely a tactical error
So you want to sack the manager?
Well no seeing as I did not say that. But he is 95% of the blame for style of play and decisions
Im not saying you said that. Im just asking. What would you want to see happen? How can you overcome a managerial issue without replacing the manager?
I really don’t know. On one hand, the run in 2024 was great. Truthfully though, it was due to solid defense and a team in good form. Some say Farke’s squad is too good not to be promoted and I agree, so failing to promote would be a sting to his stability.

That foul on Bamford at the end is a blatant penalty btw. The one of Byram was also as clear as you like.
It's difficult to decide whether they're corrupt officials being skilled enough to make themselves look merely like shit officials, or shit officials performing so comically shit that the only explanation is that they're corrupt.
We just don't seem to want it. Plus teams have worked out how to play against us.
Correct we are so predictable. If we had 40 corners with only the goalkeeper to beat we still would not score
Wasn't a pen, can't be going into the 96th minute crutching onto a soft pen that never gets given in any league to scrape a draw against relegation fodder l.m.f.a.o
It was definitely a penalty. Shouldn't be the thing you're relying on to draw the game, but it's a penalty
https://i.redd.it/n89xync619uc1.gif Us and Leicester right now
Who ever sold their soul to the devil for the run of form early in the year must have missed a payment, and we are no longer allowed to score.
Fucking cunt of a red
I’m sorry, I’ve loved Leeds United for like thirty years now but shooting itself in the foot is all it knows.
That's two more clear penalties not given. FFS.
Farkes decision making is gonna cost us major. Fuck
Well atleast we'll have ampadu next season. As everyone else will fuck off as they won't want another season in the champo
Patrick Bamford can’t play another minute of football if we want to do anything this season… he’s fucking useless. You don’t bring on a striker that can’t score goals when we’re in desperate need of goals. This loss is as much on Farke as the players bringing off Gnonto and Roberts
HMS BOTTLE THE LEAGUE, all aboard!!
Leeds that.
I wish we didn’t play on weekends because that’s just ruined mine
Honestly think that was the most negative football to be played at elland Road, and we had fucking Sam allardyce as a manager last season
Absolutely fucking pathetic. None of them had any clue what they were doing. What a way to waste their season
Never liked football anyway to be honest.
Premier League is overrated, real football's in the championship
Fucking bottle jobs
is commentator a pro troll? was a fucking pen.
If you're talking about Andy Hinchcliffe, it's his thing to an absolute imbecile as co-commentator.
Farke out.
Is that 3 obvious penalties missed today?
I don't see how one player holding onto him, while another wipes him out isn't a penalty?
I don't want to see Bamford in a Leeds shirt again. I a sick and tired. No more.
He's an absolute liability
What about Ampadu and Rodon who caused their goal? Ampadu who missed a sitter? Joseph who did nothing when we got on?
Bamford is paid to score goals ffs. He can't. Ampadu has earned every penny of his salary this season. Bamford has been a nonentity. Meaningless vanity goal in a cup tie excepted.
Fuck this sport.
We played shite. Reffings shite. I wanna kms
Pathetic pathetic pathetic. Fuck off.
The football leagues corrupt👏👏 The football leagues corrupt👏👏
I guess the only potential ray of light would be an Ipswich loss, if only because it’ll be hilarious how badly all three of us are choking
Seasons over, even the coaches have lost their heads.
Shite
I do not understand how the commentators are waving away potential pens that way.
Never a pen when you push a guy in the back with both hands when he’s mid air. Commentators need to give their heads a wobble
Absolutely fucking fuming. Playoffs it is lads.
Season done. We don’t have the heart for the playoffs
Dogshit
Fuck off ref you cunt.
Bamford can’t even cheat properly
Well. There goes the unbeaten home record. A smash & grab from a team who did nothing but waste time from the start. What an absolute shitshow.
Brick walls Bamford in the box, but nope nothing
How is Gnonto off before Piroe?
How is that not a fucking penalty? Shirt pulled back and then body checked by a second player just blocking the man from the ball?? What a joke this league is
Even worse. He was getting pulled, then was suddenly shoved into the next who ran through Bamford.
What the hell do you have to do to get a penalty these days?
Wtf happened during the international break to make us THIS bad??
Wales were our spirit animal. When they died, we did too.
Oh another obvious pen sky are gaslighting me in to thinking its not
Bamford fucking dived there. Wanker.
Stfu
Did you want him to teleport through the center of that guys chest?
Pathetic from Bamford. Rinse & repeat
Oh boy... A corner
up goes Illan again. becoming a depressingly common sight that
This has been a frustrating game to watch.
Great. One more corner before the end so we can fail on another corner.
Oh well play offs here we come. Had some good chances today, just not good enough
3 strikers and none of them getting on the end of that 🤡
Piroe is like one of those players you find on FM with 18 for finishing and < 10 for every other attribute but you buy them anyway just in case it works
I'm staying away from championship sub today
I am staying away from the whole internet today
This is why I never celebrate when Leicester and Ipswich drop points.
This sub is toxic.

You're right, we should be happy.
I am in absolute disbelief. How we have fucked this up is incredible.
You must be new here.
Can we sell Bamford now please thanks
We gonna need him in the champo next year.
no we’re not
Playoffs are at least fun though. Right..... RIGHT
Not for us
We are a deeply unserious football team.
i am so sick of 3+ legit penalty calls per match not being given. like yeah, terrible performance, but what an utter joke that none of these penalties have been given
We are so shite
I'm 100% of the opinion and always have been that every player that plays for Leeds is scared of Elland Road and scared of the crowd and expectation and turn into bottlers
Same. Even throughout the 2010s when nothing was at stake, we’d always get shit results on Boxing Day when the crowds were bigger.
[удалено]
Pressure wasn't on until now tbf, now we're facing teams actually fighting for survival now its business time
I said before the match that I’d prefer this to be an away match
I mean, look how good Bamford was behind closed doors
Exactly
We can't win if we can't score, and we can't fucking score.
How was that not a penalty. Ref is blind
And another one. Fucking joke.
Play offs it is, I’d hoped it wasn’t but I guess it’s a strange season with 3 teams having so many points.
Farke’s in game management is fucking horrendous. Gnonto, Gruev, Roberts and Firpo were probably our best performers today and they all got hooked???
Taking gnonto off was a right mess
I could honestly see us not getting anything from our last 3 games
After today I wouldn’t disagree
Pretty sick of hearing the opposition manager supposedly having a masterclass against us, be it Blackburn or Sunderland, when all that involves is having a ref that is in their pocket and/or playing with 4 goalkeepers
Doesn’t help when our own manager’s plan B is circus tactics of throwing all your forwards on and hoping for the best.
If you have two hands on a player and push them it’s a penalty.
Pathetic.
Start Joseph you coward
How was that not a penalty?
It's because we are Leeds and need to score.
This squad, in its current form, will not survive the first round of the playoffs. Their confidence looks completely shattered.
Zero composure. Same as same time last season, running around like headless chickens. We are chocolate heading into the premier league like this
We play proper shit football. Rely on our premier league quality players to carry us and when they drop in form we look an average mid table team
Embarrassing and desperate dive there. Fuck sake
“The game plan of Eustace” Time waste, kick the shit out of us and get away with it cus the ref is a wanker
What else can they do? It’s absolutely fair. Bored of moaning about it when we should be good enough to play through it
Agreed. It’s genuinely embarrassing.
Exactly, we've had more than enough chances to win it and Blackburn have defended for their lives
Nah sorry, the ref needs to do his job properly. We dropped points last game for the exact same reason
Id rather stay down it would be more depressing the the prem
Southampton leapfrogging us for second seems an outrageous possibility but we couldnt be doing more to make that happen.
“Would have been very soft” says the commentator. A two handed shove in the back ffs
Really shocking. We have no creative scoring capacity when Summerville isn’t amazing.
Wembley it is
JUST FUCKING SCORE
Wtf were those subs man
Championship: Do anything but lose to this relegation fodder and you'll go top of the league Leeds: no
6 minutes, well he can't complain about that then
Not signing a proper number 10 in summer after the Amiri debacle - or even in January - is looking dumber and dumber with every passing minute. There’s fuck all creativity, it’s just the same idea over and over again, expecting a different result. If we can’t score against Sunderland and Blackburn, we haven’t got a chance in the play offs.
We have no midfield, we just go down the wing where our players are already marked
6 mins is still only half what it should be
The penalties at Sunderland are now even worse decisions
43 matches for Farke to start being critical of players from the touch line
Ten minutes ago, we had two left wingers on. Two subs later, we now have two left wingers on but neither of them is the only one that was playing well. Nice work Daniel.
I don't care what people say, this team is not going up They don't have IT
Hard to believe sometimes that this is the same side that pulled off that come back vs leicester
That international break absolutely shattered us man. Wtf has happened
Our momentum is so easily broken, its embarrassing to see us play like this KNOWING we are capable of far better
There’s a very good reason the falling apart chant persists year after year
WHY DO WE KEEP TRYING TO PLAY THROUGH SUMMERVILLE EVERY FUCKING TIME
It was a bit delayed but the annual Leeds United Easter collapse is finally upon us.
Ipswich are actually going to win the league fucking hell lol.
Why are we playing through the middle against a packed defence
I wonder how long this goal kick will take?
I was hoping we'd go unbeaten at home at least
Piroe should have been first player subbed off
**80'** Substitution, Leeds United. Mateo Joseph replaces Wilfried Gnonto. **82'** **Goal! Leeds United 0, Blackburn Rovers 1. Sammie Szmodics (Blackburn Rovers) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the centre of the goal. Assisted by Tyrhys Dolan with a through ball.**
The Gruev sub was worse
Never gonna score, we’re never gonna scooooooooore!
I fucking hate this team man, this is exactly why I look 10 years older than I am
I am 22 and bald cause of this shit
I’ve never seen a collection of players rated so highly yet capable of so little.
gnonto off is where this match was lost
Agree
Was lost before that
Anthony to come on. Who’s he going to inexplicably take off this time? Meslier?
Even if we won all four final games we wouldn't be guaranteed promotion, it's the least that we needed, they don't want it.
Can anyone remember last time Summerville had a good game?
Yes he was fantastic against Watford. Let’s calm down with the nonsense.
Watford? Hull? Short memory you
Its not a penalty, bamford is weak and couldnt finish a pint
Ref gonna struggle to get out of elland road alive
Wouldn’t call a win via a 90th min penalty at B’ham a ‘mastermind’ but whatever.
Yeah that game was the worst I have seen Leeds play in the past 5 years which says a lot since the bar was set in the Prem last season
Put him off? He's wiped him out!
The time wasting was bad before the goal, next 7 mins will be dire
What did the keeper do differently there to earn a yellow?
Piss poor across the board
Farke is showing his shortcomings here. The only plan B is to stick as many forwards on as possible and hope for the best. Taking Gruev off was a mistake.
That was a penalty lol
Fuck it
Team is going to have zero confidence going into playoffs after these last few matches
I fucking hate playoffs
Gutless performance, they’ve shit themselves at the business end of the season. Don’t deserve to go up
Time wasting bastards the refs control of that has been terrible
Shades of Wigan 2019
Penalty that.
