   David,

   If you are going to report on a match, take a look at a few replays before you put pen to paper. Your comment ” …despite Watkins having to jump in anticipation of having his legs amputated by the goalie” is just wrong. Ollie doesn’t jump, he lets his legs drag into the goalie.

   Interesting assessment. As a Leeds fan I thought it was a good game, but the Referee was inconsistent; either both right backs are sent off or neither is sent off. Regarding the penalty it is very harsh to blame the Referee, from his angle it looked like a penalty. However, Watkins started to fall before he collided with the keeper and the replays clearly show him diving onto the keeper rather than the keeper taking his legs. Diving for a penalty is a scourge of football and it needs to stopped. As with all other diving offences Watkins should be retrospectively charged and the FA Disciplinary Panel can review the evidence before making a decision. I do note that there is no mention of the leading with the head by Canos incident in this article – so not totally balanced.

   Regarding the away ticket prices – I am ashamed at what we charge and can only apologise.
