Best thing BPF has done all season he looks at him then lifts his foot up. Bizzare especially from such a quiet character

Frankie should ask the Derby hierarchy to erect a tall wall around the perimeter of Derby's training ground. Would be a lot cheaper than the one Trump proposes along the US / Mexico border.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

It would make a lot more sense to just build a big effin wall around the whole of Derby.

Don't bother putting gates on it.

Club statement.

Following comments made by Marcelo Bielsa yesterday the club will look to work with our head coach and his staff to remind them of the integrity and honesty which are the foundations that Leeds United is built on.

Our owner Andrea Radrizzani has met with Derby County’s owner Mel Morris to formally apologise for Marcelo’s actions.

We will make no further comment on this matter.

I reckon that will be the end of it for now.

Most Derby fans are just looking upon the whole episode with wry amusement. Be fair to us, the media have tried to whip this up, not without a degree of xenophobia toward your manager.

The location of the training ground in the green belt means that you would have to have made a substantial effort to get round the back to view the training pitches. Anyone in those areas would have been clocked as being suspicious

I think it's funny.

Leeds will get a warning

BPF will get 3 games and rightfully so. The Derby players were lucky not to get a few bans after some of there conduct last night.

Are they looking into BFP? Must admit it looked bad on slo mo but then he’s six foot odd and the guy was a midget.

Seems to straighten his leg though.

How can the FA look at the incident when it is clear that the referee saw it and took no action? Retrospective reviews are only done when referee has not seen the incident,

They will make Bielsa sit on the naughty step instead of his bucket, and make him think about what he's done.

It's outrageous. Someone has been in a public place, watching someone training footy. My oh my.

At worst a fine or touch line ban

More concerned about the possible 3 game ban BPF could be getting.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I don’t think so as ref was looking right at it. That said he still may say he didn’t see it! AR should have seen it thoug!

The Debate on SS1 after the game made a great point.

League 1+2 clubs train on what are basically parks with a handful of people watching all of the time, it definitely happens.

So are no representatives of clubs allowed to go watch the opposition play in games before your own team play them ?. Maybe they are all hurting because it's taken an Argentine to show them how to play football. I bet Southgate picked up some tips whilst watching Leeds play.

Games are not training.

It’s still a ridiculous reaction.

Danny Murphy was saying that you used to get quite a lot of people watching at Liverpool training.

It's stuff and nonsense but this is Leeds United and the authorities rarely miss an opportunity to chastise the club. The EFL with Shaun Harvey in situ must be rubbing their hands with glee.....

I'm not aware that any written rule has been breached but clearly the moral compass will be going haywire......

I think there'll be a warning with a suspended sentence of some sort. Then the rule book will be updated to accommodate "misdemeanours" such as these.

That said, it's not a new practice, I'm not entirely sure what advantages we'll pick up from watching someone else's training methods and/or set piece scenarios.

It's all a bit silly but being Leeds United.......
