Football can be an emotionally charged game at times. Indeed, while it may appear that players do not care as much as fans do, make no mistake: that enthusiasm for the game is felt at all levels.

In recent years, we’ve seen colleagues fight on the pitch and in training, and Patrick Bamford, speaking on the My Mate’s a Footballer Podcast, recounted a minor altercation at Leeds United.

Former Everton manager Keith Wyness has accused the independent panel of “cherry-picking” to provide a favorable finding for Nottingham Forest in their points deduction case.

The Whites had been hosting Palace at Elland Road in a crucial relegation duel in April, and after taking the lead with Bamford’s header, everything began to crumble. Marc Guehi headed in an equaliser in stoppage time of the first half, and Leeds were never able to recover, as Palace went on to score four consecutive goals in what turned out to be a disastrous afternoon.
