Will Brentford be awarded a 3-0 win if Bolton go on strike? It’s lucky they can’t go up or down as that would be pretty controversial if Bolton were due to play someone near the top or bottom.

Surely that should happen. I don’t see how it can be a postponement. It should be treated as a forfeit.

Normally it would have been a forfeit as they would have forced them to play the U18's but because the u18's played on Thursday they didn't feel it was fair to force that so they postponed but I am sure they will either play the games with U18 or forfeit their final two games

Sad times at Bolton

Norwich’s fullbacks are pretty special. We should sign both of them.

Not sure about Lewis but Aarons is very highly rated. Norwich have done an excellent job bringing young players through since going down.

Leeds v Aston Villa, Leeds need to win both their last matches & overturn a 13 goal difference, & Sheffield United lose at Stoke on the last day to get the automatic promotion spot.

The Villa red card will surely be overturned as well, he didn't touch his face.

Cheating little shithouse, should be ashamed of himself. If that happens in Sunday League you rightfully get twatted in the car park.

Throw the book at this c*nt, he's a disgrace to football.

[arthur sarnoff]

To do what he has with Northampton and now Sheffield United is amazing from Chris Wilder.  Fair play to him.

That was absolutely crazy, surely you play to the whistle even if it is unsportsman

Decent quality video of the entire incident...

Sheffield United are pure Brexit, fuck that. It's good for the city but I'd have preferred Wednesday by a long shot.

yup, fuck him off so he can go to his rightful place, head of the young conservatives

[I've been a good boy]

Yeah never liked Sheffield Utd, no doubt they'll be chanting vile stuff at us from the very first minute next season.

Not sure what to think of that Leeds goal, surely it's valid because the ref didn't blow the whistle? I know it's unsportsmanlike but it's not illegal

[Rainbow Laces]

I still can't see what that red card was for. Was it shown in those highlights there or am I looking towards the wrong part at the wrong time or what?

Within the laws of the gamew it's perfectly fine, but it's considered unsporting when there's an injured player. I'd like to see this rule/area cleared up a bit after this because something like this has been coming for a long time because it's such a grey area.

Yep too many times players have gone down feigning injury hoping to stop play, why this play on[play to the whistle] became the norm

Definitely, it winds me up no end though when our players kick the ball out when it's clear the player is feigning injury. Trouble is, players will just hold their head more often to make the ref blow up.

[b_joseph]

Silly to kick it out and silly for Villa to get all outraged.

Always confused me how you can play on in Rugby or the AFL. But in thiis sport, you kick it out.

I loved how Jensen tries to boot the Villa player trying to score.

Just seen the red card incident thanks to the hell-hole that is Twatter. Take a peek at this, Bamford wasn't even touched. If there was any justice in football he would be the one getting a three match ban for that disgraceful cheating. https://twitter.com/YorkshireSlang/status/1122512169873092609

Aye the little c*nt wants to be hung out to dry, total shithouse behaviour.

As for Bielsa, class act by ordering his team to let Villa score.  Don Revie will be spinning in his grave!

[Statto Red]

Leeds could meet Villa in the playoffs, that will be a bit feisty if that happens.

I think the issue is the Leeds player on the ball completely stopped and then made it look like he was going to kick it out only for him to play it down the line. By this time all of the Villa players had stopped playing.

I think if they had continued playing at normal speed then there wouldn't/shouldn't have been much of an issue.

[Caligula?]

As awful as it would be, there's probably a 90% chance that Villa come up now. All the other playoff candidates have been atrocious as of late - Leeds included - and Dean Smith has really turned Villa around.

He didn't stop though, he had the ball at his feet and was questioning why the Villa players had stopped, so played the easy ball. The player down was not in the way of play, or a defender out of position.

[Rainbow Laces]

I think they kicked off like they did because they had already put the ball out for them a little earlier and they didn't return the favour in doing what they did, and the Villa players nearest could see that the guy was genuinely hurt.

[mikeb58]

Haha..Danny Mills commented on this yet, bit embarrassing for him after the snide stunt he pulled at Anfield a few years ago (feigning to kick the ball out)

Fortunate for the EFL it doesn't affect the playoffs, promotion or relegation, with Bolton already down & Brentford unable to reach the playoffs, be interesting what the EFKL would have done had it affected the playoffs & relegation, & even automatic promotion.

Last day later, all matches 12.30pm kickoffs, most issues have already been decided, apart from the last playoff spot, which is one from Derby, Middlesbrough & Bristol City

Derby 71 pts 13 gd
Middlesbrough 70 pts, 7 gd
Bristol City 69 pts 6 gd

Derby v West Brom
Hull v Bristol City
Rotherham v Middlesbrough

[RideTheWalrus]

As long as Middlesborough don't get there I'm fine. Be arsed with Pulis back in the league. If Derby somehow clawed their way into the league Lampard would be fired in a month.
