Ben Mee limping

Post by boatshed bill » Tue Dec 22, 2020 7:11 pm

Just seen the game.
It's not often you see a player limping and trying to run off an injury these days, and for so long too. Hard as....
Great example set by our skipper.

Hopefully not at the expense of future games, he's more than shown how important he is to our side. Earnt us 3 points by continuing though!

No idea on the other two.

I just think that in an era when you see these finely tuned athletes rolling around in agony it's refreshing to see Ben just getting on with it.
I can remember when an injured player would be sent up on to the left wing until the final whistle, don't like the softies :D

Kicked on the Achilles early on when tackling
Accidental and Ben seemed to run it off
A fair time to recover though with Dirty Leeds on the fake Boxing Day next up

Thought this was going to be about a potential Malaysian signing...

Needlessly kicked.
The guy was off side...
Yet the stupid way play is allowed to continue now even though he was offside meant Mee had to go in for that challenge.

It will eventually happen that a serious injury occurs due to this daftness.

I guess it will have to be a headline player getting injured to change this? eg a Sterling? Rashford? Salah?

Also had Mee brought the player down in the box would that be OK? knowing he was offside?

I do agree on this daft rule. I see no benefit to anybody why the lino can't just flag, and to cap it all you then see goals disallowed because someone has a fingernail offside :roll:

You have got a point that it'll more than likely take an injury to one of the superstars before this daft directive is changed.

If Ben had brought the guy down in the box it wouldn't have resulted in a penalty, as the offside would have been given priority, just as it was in the Manchester derby a couple of weeks ago.

Looked like a knock for Mee which I'd expect somebody like him to run off. Hopefully it doesn't flare up and he's good to go again for Leeds.

When’s the next presser? Looking forward to Sean saying he’s “touch and go”, which means “out” and me spending days praying for a miracle :(

Exactly my point "somebody like him"
