Leeds United’s tie at Elland Road against Brentford in the final Championship game before yet another pointless international break certainly had its talking points.

Now fair’s fair, it wasn’t a great performance by our usual standards, but even then we dominated possession and had exactly the same number of chances overall as the visitors did. As is now a common theme though, a lack of a clinical nature almost cost us a point on the day, as they mustered seven changes on goal whilst we only managed three.

With that said, they needed the referee to make one of the dodgiest penalty awards in history to take the lead and I think Pontus Jansson’s celebration to his equaliser, and especially ‘that’ interview post-game summed up the feelings of many fans about the performance of the officials on the day.

Adam Forshaw’s interview above is simply calmer than Pontus’ in my humble.

As the above demonstrates, that wasn’t going to stop fans from airing their views following the game and nor should it.
