    I'll start.

    If you ever need reminding of why Leeds are such a dirty little club from top to bottom, watch this:



    What would you add to the list?

    At least they allowed Villa to score, when Reading got that ghost goal given against us they did nothing to redress the balance

    To be honest, although controversial, it is the rules of the game that are so stupid rather than anything "dirty" from Leeds. There was no reason why Leeds should have put the ball out, particularly as it wasn't a head injury and was more down to the injured players poor tackle. If the ball had broken to a Villa player with an open run on goal, would he have kicked it out? I doubt it.

    If the Villa players stopped playing before the ball was kicked out or the whistle was blown, then it's their own fault.

    And besides, as Otter said, they gave a goal back.

    Roger Milford sending off Will Rostron at Luton for a nothing incident knowing he would miss the biggest footballing occasion he would ever get the chance of. Absolute w@nker.

    Not sure if serious. I'd have no problem with us scoring a goal like that next Saturday.

    The failure of Hawkeye last season was quite a big one. Grown men watching a screen could see it had clearly crossed the line, except it couldn’t have because the other technology said it didn’t and the rules don’t allow us to use our brains.

    The disallowed Malcolm Poskett goal at Kenilworth Road in 1980. I’m not over it yet.

    I suppose in International football the Maradona handball in 1986 but on the flip side that 3rd England “goal” in the 1966 World Cup.

    The "Ghost Goal" given by that **** Stewart Atwell to Reading against us has to be right up there and I'd say that even if I was not a Watford fan :mad:

    If you mean Qatar then yes, that’s an absolute scandal. 9,000 workers have died building the stadiums there, an absolutely needless waste.

    Schnellinger handballing a goal bound shot against the Uruguayans in 1966. No sending off and no penalty. That World Cup as with several others have some very dubious refereeing decisions. Spain and Italy felt very hard done by in the 2002 World Cup. Was it a coincidence to allow South Korea to progress ?

    The Italy one was quite funny though, because didn’t Vieri miss an absolute open goal, and when questioned about some of the referring decisions the ref highlighted that and said players make mistakes too!

    He did. I think one of the chairmen at an Italian club threatend to expel a South Korean player on their books as well. All rather childish. However the Spanish have more of a claim. They scored a perfectly good goal which was disallowed because the ball was supposed to have crossed the bye line when it had not.

    Not so sure a19. I can picture the Cooper man applauding on the sidelines and his coaching staff doing the hokey cokey as another of their con tricks earns the points. What an unpleasant image it is too. :D Come on Barnsleh.
