Players cheekily playing the ball on while acting like they will play the ball out.

Managers screaming to let their team actively concede a goal. And a lone defender defying those order and attempting to defend (Jansson).

Red Cards, undefended goals, and 2 teams trying to earn promotion to the EPL.

That was a lot of drama. I think Leeds did the right thing in that match, but it takes lots of balls as a manager to instruct your guys to concede.
The crazy thing was, the challenge that led to the injury didn't look all that bad. Does anyone have an update on what happened?

In related news, John Terry is still an asshat.

Edit: I think if Leeds didn't do the "look like we are playing it out" move, it would have been an honest goal, but it looks like a bit of underhanded trickery was involved
