TOON IN AALL DARK BLUE STRIP
"A POINTS A POINT IF YOO GET MY POINT!"
A game that had everything! 4 goals, 3 penalties, 1 disallowed goal and 1 sending off AND a Leeedz fan thrown oot for confronting and pushin Eddie Howe in the dugoot!
The sequence of events were az follows:
7th minute: Completely against the run of play Leeedz take the lead when Pope saved from Rodrigo, but Ayling woz there for an eazy finish to send the home fans wild with delight and stun us!
30th minute: They then got a penalty when Joelinton made a clumsy tackle in the box! Banford took the kick but The Pope saved brilliantly to keep the score at 1-0
32nd minute: At the othaa end anothaa penalty woz given when Isak woz hacked doon in the box by Wober!
Callum Wilson took the spot kick and hammered the baall into the net to level the scores! HT 1-1
69th minute: We didnt notice this, but a Leeedz player handled the baall in the box (Firpo)with The Toon players pointin towards their hands in front of the ref---who had a bad day at the office!
After a lengthy VAR check the penalty woz given and up stepped Wilson again to hammer home and put us 2-1 up----to the joy of the travellin faithful!
70th minute: We scored again through St Max from a Isak through baall, but the goal woz ruled offside after a VAR check!
79th minute: And then the sucker punch!--- just az we looked to have picked up the 3 valuable points a lang range shot from Kristensen took a wicked deflection off Trippier's heed and the baall wrang footed The Pope in The Toon goal and the scores were level again!
91st minute: Leeed'z Firpo woz sent off for a bad tackle on Anthony Gordon
92nd minute: We couldnt see the dugoot from where we were and anly foond oot later that a Leeedz fan had got into the technical area and pushed Eddie Howe and swore at him!----He woz dragged away by securuty staff and woz banned for life by Leeedz!
WOR 'NO VIEW' OF THE TECHNICAL AREA!
TOON STAFF AND A SECURITY GUARD GRAP THE TOSSER!
It ended 2-2 and although it looked az though we'd hoyed away 2 points that 1 point meeenz that whatever Livaapool dee on Munday neet, 2 home wins against Brightin next Thorzday and Lestaa the followin Munday will guarantee Champions Leegue qualification! (If Livaapoool draw or lose we anly need one more win az we have a far superior goal difference!) "Come on Lestaa!"
Attendance: A season high for Elland Road of 36,955 (2,900 Toon fans)
Its still in wor hands lads 'n' lasses!
