Leeds United’s clash with Nottingham Forest in last weekend’s Championship action carried a number of talking points from the game, for fans of both sides in fairness.
The way we utterly dominated at Elland Road in Saturday’s late kickoff, Kemar Roofe’s helping hand with the equaliser and the unbelievable way that Forest actually travelled home with a point given they registered one shot on target and scored from it.
The post-game meltdown following Roofe’s handball was certainly lively and it’s not unfair to say that some of the visitors to our ground on the day were absolutely furious, maybe even apoplectic as they called for a ban for the player. Former Forest player Kenny Burns went further in his Nottingham Post column claiming that the club were ‘cheated’ and that Leeds would predictably ‘choke’ in the promotion race.
His words were a little ill-timed as Forest crashed out of the EFL Cup last night to League One Burton Albion and by all accounts, Burton absolutely played them off the park in the 3-2 win. The ‘magic of the Cup’ or their biggest ‘choke’ of the season so far?
That’s for others to say – it just made me smile.
Forest fans really shouting cheat to a burton player for time wasting????????????????????????#lufc

Better still cannot wait to go to their dump of a ground and slaughter them with pure football, haha a law mot.
Remind me again (All You Saddo’s) – How far did you go in this Cup?
And who knocked you out???
Some people just can’t “handle it”, but it seems that we can!
Life long Leeds lover!!!!!
It will be interesting to see how long it is before mighty mouth Kenny Burns can actually bring himself to make another “Choke” comment after Nottingham Forest choked lasted night against Burton and I’m prepared to say their season is now over as the choke will now become a season long failure for forest
As the great man said
“ you throw all your medals, caps and pots and pans in the bin , cos you won them bycheating !
Things never change
