On White against Leeds, definitely deliberate, surely would have been a red if ref had seen it. Will he be cited? He didn't have a good game but if he is given a ban it's likely to affect Fulham's promotion challenge.
Definitely a red card event. The bloke seems to be a bit of a thug (listening to the comments on Sky from people who had worked alongside him) who just happens to be good at football, although on the evidence of yesterday the latter is debatable. So not sure if a retrospective ban would actually have any effect on Fulham's promotion challenge!

What is this crazy talk?
Prior to kicking off against Leeds I was convinced we'd lose these two games and be out of the race. Now we are one of the favourites to make it. After Charlton on Tuesday we face four teams all aiming for a play off place. Bristol City, Blackburn, Fulham and Derby. It's very much in our own hands at the moment.
Gofer, the gentleman who was talking about Mitrovic was Steve McLaren. Thought he talked a load of bollocks all through the game. I think he may be living an alternative world where he was a good football manager.
I realise it was McClaren and yes, he wasn't the world's greatest football manager but I don't think that would influence his observation of Mitrovich's behaviour. If the lad was sent off twice in just 5 games, then I think you might be a bit suspicious?
This was part of a report on the Sky commentary (https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spor...ren-18500672):
McClaren, who signed the Serbian for Newcastle in 2015, said: "That's how he is, that's what he was like as a kid when we signed him for Newcastle. He's so aggressive, he bullies you.
"That's what he did. The first five games he played, I think he got sent off twice for us. He has to calm down, he has to control his emotions and play the game."
Sky Sports commentator Andy Hinchcliffe was adamant Mitrovic should have been shown a red card.
