Conor's 4 minute rant about the referee last night was exactly how I felt last night....why I was so angry....why I couldn't bear to witness what was going on...

Many people have complained about the referee at the Millwall game,and for the first time we have photographic evidence that there might be bribery involved.

If everyone is saying that the officials were not very good last night then I agree. But it sounds like you are all saying that they were biased against us and I really didn't see that. As I said earlier, the linesman (not the referee) looks like he missed the ball going out before their penalty. At that point no one knew Alio was going to do his stupid on the floor tackle and give away the pen. I thought that the rest of the game the officials were fair if not always correct. What decisions did he make that have you all saying he was against us?

Didn't realise goals were worth more if they were scored from further out.
Just making a general point about how close he needs to be before he can even work the keeper, never mind hit the onion bag, but I understand.
But of course you already knew that

It's a strange one with PB cos until recently it seemed he was more likely to score from further out and Nketiah was more of the poacher type tapping home crosses. Seems like PB has possibly started getting himself into the 6 yard box more often than earlier in the season. I still feel PB is a much better finisher than we have seen at times during his time at Leeds.
Interestingly Wallace's penalty for Millwall last night was hit hard and low about a foot inside the post - Bamford's against QPR was hit hard and low about a foot inside the post.

I respect your opinion Bob but I thought the referee was poor as did our chairman.
Too many decisions going against us of late. Fortunately our players were strong enough mentally & physically to overcome the injustices & batter Millwall in the second-half.
You were there and I wasn't but maybe I didn't get riled up by the mob mentality that people get when in a crowd. I didn't think he was necessarily good but I also didn't think he was biased. Just didn't see it. You do agree it was a penalty?

Not really Bamford's was at least a yard in...Kiko would have saved last night had the Mill striker put it a yard inside the post. The Millwall pen superior to Bamford's

Ayling with the touch btw not Alio to maybe bring the striker down..Ayling technically responsible for both goals. Alio was actually blocking his own keeper for the first goal, standing right behind him...which for me was very dodgy positioning because he prevented Kiko moving back plus how much could he have seen stood behind Kiko

The penalty incident probably wouldn't have occurred but for the linesman's mistake, so we wouldn't have been two goals down without such poor officiating.
That's all true. But he did miss the call and Alio did foul him.
I must admit I missed the first goal so I don't know how the officials ballzed that one up.

Kiko was furious with himself to have not saved it but near enough the same distance in from the post for both penalties, yes about a yard for both of them not a foot. Neither were great penalties but sometimes decent penalties are saved and bad ones go in.

In Bamford's defence the QPR keeper was already moving in a diving position before Paddy kicked the ball, yet another poor decision by the officials, should have been retaken.

I thought keepers could move before the ball is kicked as long as it's sideways and not forwards (or at least that they don't step forwards)

Think I read somewhere the keeper must have at least 1 foot on the line as the penalty is taken.

Kelly was in a diving position before Bamford took the penalty, that's why he managed to save it even though it was a low shot & a foot away from the post.

So was Kiko for theirs ...

The FL/FA need to get a grip of the position where a goal kick should be taken too. If the ball goes out on the right side of the goal line the keeper should take the kick from that side.
Alioski retrieved the ball v Millwall & put it on the spot for their keeper, what did Bialkowski do? he picked the ball up & carefully placed the ball on the other side deliberating his kick, he must have repeated this action at least three or four times throughout the game. Bialkowski was wasting time as soon as they went one up.
Imo if a keeper spends more than ten seconds to take a goal kick he should be yellow carded immediately, they wouldn't risk being sent off if referees were more strict with them
Wow! Thanks rab
