    Foot.ie! Leeds, Leeds, Leeds!

    So where are foot.ies' contingent of Whites supporters watching the L1 PO semi today?

    I can only assure Limerick Whites that there IS a place that will be showing Leeds rather than two Scottish whales flopping around in their wee teardrop.

    I speak of course of Mickey Martins off Thomas St.

    Not long now. C'mon the Leeds!

    Great stuff in the first hour then collapse.

    When Beckford doesn't score he looks atrocious and he missed our two best chnaces today.

    I'm going over on Thursday ( Can't wait), but reckon it's gonna 1-1 or 0-0...

    Not at all R&WR. Millwall are lousy travellers. I'm pretty confident we'll do it on thursday ...despite being very poor in the second half today. I wouldn't put too much blame on Becks. Midfield might as well have paid for their tickets the same as the rest of the onlookers there. We just couldn't retain any possession from then on either.

    Most Leeds' fans in Ireland should be close to drawing their pensions if they're a throwback to the Revie era unless they're of the class of O'Leary generation.

    ...which would explain why they're Championship teams.

    Another two or three unless something quite unforeseeable happens in the next 12 months. No complaints. Not ready to step back up if we can only score once against Millwall at Elland Road.

    You may well be right Den. But I'm guessing you're extrapolating backwards (sounds painful) and applying a similar set of results achieved since he arrived to the seasons earlier games played under Macca and Stan.

    Next season will be different and may well involve attempting automatic promotion without the services of Messrs. Beckford, Delph, maybe Becchio... AND with Norwich, Charlton and Southampton (though the latter will be starting with -10) dumped into the division with us. ...on the other hand there could be cash plus players for the services of some of ours. Ferguson is said to have offered cash plus long term loans of Gibson and Cathcart in exchange for Fabian Delph. Villa are almost certainly after him as well and he's contracted til 2012 so it should take a fair wedge of cash to get him.

    Does anyone here think that Ken Bates is the root of all evil. I know he wasn't in charge when they first got relegated in 2004 but he is the one person who could never make things right.
    A full stadium of 37 odd thousand for a League 1 match is something amazing and if that club cannot make something out of that and build on over turning a 15 point deduction and still getting to the playoffs in spite of it a couple of years ago, then there's something rotten in the state of Yorkshire.
    I think the problems got worse when Bates came in and shafted Blackwell (now in the Championship final with Sheff Utd) to employ his "godson" and poison dwarf Dennis Wise. I know it was Wise who got them to the play offs with that 15 point loss but can any of you Leeds fans tell me that you would be in the Championship now or at least League 1 final if that demented cockney was still at the helm???

    Not really. Wednesday had 40k+ in their derby games in the old Division 2 with Sheff Utd back in the 1980s.

    No doubt Leeds are way too big for that division but I suspect, despite the crowds, they too are saddled with debt so easier said than done. They have kept great support and are a big club (certainly a lot bigger than many in the Premiership) and their day will come.
