‘Fed up’ following Leeds United controversy against West Brom
‘Fed up’ following Leeds United controversy against West Brom
During the Leeds United vs. West Brom match, Gary Rowett gave his opinion on a contentious judgment and said he
was “fed up” with forwards winning penalties so easily.
On Friday, December 29, Daniel Farke’s team suffered back-to-back losses as they came away from The Hawthorns
empty-handed. Grady Diangana’s first half proved to be the difference between the two teams as the Baggies won
1-0.
Though Wilfried Gnonto and Georginio Rutter were both pulled down in the box, Leeds thought they should have
had at least one penalty in the first forty-five minutes. However, Rowett wasn’t sure either challenge deserved a spot
kick.
“At first instance, it looked like a good tackle, I mean, does he just get a little bit of contact with the ball?” he stated
during a speech on Sky Sports Main Event on December 29, 21:10. He has undoubtedly spoken with Rutter
previously.
“I’m tired of attackers receiving penalties, but I’m not sure that’s clear enough to give a penalty,” the player said.

previously.
“I’m tired of attackers receiving all these penalties, but once more, I’m not sure that’s clear.”
The fact that Leeds United did not receive at least one penalty during their match against the Baggies on Friday
seems absurd. Spot kicks ought to have gone to Rutter and Gnonto, and neither call seemed particularly
controversial.
The one that Rowett was analyzing on Rutter was a little more difficult to give because, although it looked like Ajayi
made some touch with the ball, the West Brom defender caught Rutter’s trailing leg first only when viewed from the
opposite perspective.
Over the course of a Championship season, these kinds of calls usually balance out, but in the past few weeks, it
seems like almost every call has gone against the Whites. It might seem like everything is against a team when they
are having trouble, and that is just how things are right now at Elland Road.
But with Farke’s attacking arsenal, Leeds ought to be scoring more goals on their own without the assistance of the
referees. Although they didn’t do well in the match, they still felt badly treated at The Hawthorns.
