Use our rumours form to send us leeds transfer rumours.

Watched the highlights last night and no surprise us being last on the roster although we got some commentary from Bashir and Claridge.

However I noted that 2 yellows were given for "dives" or "simulation". I have watched back and Rudy got fouled from behind, so can't think how that was, however Mowatt appears to flick his legs out.

Any other thoughts on whether these were warranted or just a case of the ref being a kn*b.

on near end most weeks and linesman was waving flag on Rudi's foul got over ruled makes you laugh

Agree0 Disagree0

Mowatt admitted he went down easily but Rudy was fouled. Usual poor standard of refereeing but yes linesman flagged for a foul on Rudy

We are not the only ones denied a penalty,Sunderland had a blatant penalty in the match against Bradford,and the ref just waved play on.I don't want to take anything away from Bradford, but Gus must have been gutted.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why don't the football authorities including FIfa do away with penalties.
Now that would be great fun.
Carnage in the box.
Nobody would ever fall over again.

No I think millwall are right! We need to help them let's be honest they need the fans! And all the help they can get I think they should pick tickets up in aberdeen then travel south to our ground then it will feel warmer when they get to elland road!! Lol mot

It is true they always sell out wembely but have about 45 fans on a home game. Everyone round my way has a lion tatto on leg but thinks the barry kitchener stand is somewhere that sells pots and pans (which is might as well do) I get spat at and started on pretty much every week so my thoughts are F@@k them all. they like the no one likes us tag then moans when it bites them on the arse

Well done Bradford. What a season they are having.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Still just a league 1 team. I'm sure all their fans would trade cup shocks once a blue moon for promotion

Just read a report saying Leeds should be punished for the treatment of Millwall fans on Saturday.

It appears that Millwall fans had to collect match tickets at a pre-determined site prior to the game (nothing new), which resulted in them only bringing 200 fans. It was even suggested that there would have been 'many' more if these sanctions weren't imposed (highly doubtful) and that this was the reason for their loss!

Maybe if Millwall fans weren't such neanderthal classless pikes they would be treated differently. Brandishing Turkish flags and wearing their shirts whilst simulating slitting of throats is inciting violence and isn't even mentioned in these pathetic one sided piece of trash journalism. You reap what you sow and Millwall don't seem to be in any hurry to oust these so called fans so they can't really complain.

I really thought when I clicked on it, it was a tongue in cheek article, but I don't think it is. Have a look, it's on News Now.

It also implies that this 'one' result could have condemned Millwall to League 1. Absolute priceless journalism!

MM, I believe we should be punished. For being too nice to them! They were lucky to have 1 fan inside the ground. Hopefully the issue will be moot for next season.

Agree0 Disagree0

Check out the picture of the Millwall fans at Birmingham in the week, barely 200. What's their excuse for that? Too far? No available service station close enough to Birmingham to collect tickets? Or maybe it's just the fact they're a small club in a tiny suburb in London. Hope the WYP don't cost us a points deduction when the FL get hold of us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe the fact that we can do this to Millwall is because there is a reason?

Sorry, Millwall (well not really) but if you act like the proverbial then you have to accept this?

Agree0 Disagree0

The FL already have the referees out to stop us, no need to have us done regarding this :P

Agree0 Disagree0

We have to do the same when we play Cardiff, don't know about this season as I couldn't make it, it never stopped us taking a good crowd. No fuss made about it, but of course we are Leeds and we deserve all the shit that can be thrown at us!

tickets on motorway its been that way for about 4 years why would they come just to see them lose

Is Bermondsey a happy bunny?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

15 Feb 2015 16:56:26
Ask Mrs. Bermondsey

Agree0 Disagree0

{Ed001's Note - let's face it, she will be the one deciding if he is happy or not....}

Bermondsey is very hapy and the mrs has nothing to do with it. I have been giving the family and all my mates stick all week and a total of 46 texts (21 before the game as was confident) it has been a great week my only regret is it will not happen next year as the tinpot club are going down

Agree0 Disagree0

Good luck to Larry and his troops tomorrow night. I hope he can turn man utd over one more time for old times sake!

Anyone else notice how Sol Bamba was made to play a different role yesterday.
He held the line and he's what we have needed for years.
I for 1 wouldn't want to meet him on a dark night but boy is he doing a great job for us.
Mowatt gets a game and scores again yippee.
I know Elland Road won't be built in a day but come on we have a fab midfield but the forwards are not good enough to score goals in this division.
Please think again Massimo.

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I think the midfield is strong as a five but weak as a four. The commitment of additional player to midfield will weaken the attack however needs must at the moment. However I accept that forwards must take their chances

Agree0 Disagree0

Again, perfectly said Notts. 5 is way to go right now. It is a pity Adryan doesn't have more end product because the system we play could suit him to a tee but I have faith he will improve. One thing is for certain though we won't pay 3 million for him in the summer. If only we had a bit more pace in the side.

Agree0 Disagree0

Adryan assists - 2
Cook assists - 0

Adryan would be just fine but Neil has his favourites

Agree0 Disagree0

I like Adryan but u can't compare him to Cook! Two different players, Cook defensive Adryan attacking! STW

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2015 10:10:25
I dnt care as long as the formular works! But I would bring ajose back as a diffrent option see how he does! Seing as adrian is bit light weight and dnt play mot

Morison getting slagged off is starting to get a little tiresome. I don't care if he never scores as long as we win 4 in 5. He's doing and good job and goals will come. Patience.

Here, s a question for you all.
If we were top of the league, clear of forest by a point on the last day of the season, and we won 8-7. Would we still be last on the football league show?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

I was thinking that Trev. You have to stay up half the night for 20 seconds, if we are lucky. Pathetic. Hopefully it won't be too long before we are on MOTD instead.

Agree0 Disagree0

1-0 scrappy win with a deflected free kick isn't going to be for mouth watering viewing is it.

Agree0 Disagree0

True Smitch, but they had shown the boring 0-0 draw before our game!

Agree0 Disagree0

15 Feb 2015 11:50:34
first half we played well and like Hollaway says he was glad to get in 1 down second half Moonwalk made a fight of it but saying that both teams had chances.

The football leagues corupt

Agree0 Disagree0

Why are you guys surprised or even bothered by their lack of interest?

We are hated and that's the way it will be.

We will still be here after all these clowns have gone.

Agree0 Disagree0

The reason we are shown last often on the show is because we are a big club with a great fanbase and it keeps us watching until the end of the show. If we were on 1st chances are a lot would sod off to bed and therefore affect viewing figures.
Thats my theory anyway. MOT.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cork,,, I think your spot on there

I'm scared of heights and its a long way to the bottom!
Might have to support another team if this winning balava carries on. It's ridiculous having to put up with more points!
Whatever next?? A Morrison goal? Ok ok ok! That's just silly!
How did we play? Easy or hard or lucky win?
Did Austin justify dropping sloth?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Team looked solid against a poor Milwall team to be fair. Our formation again looked OK 4-2-3-1, first half worked very well.

Pick of players was Bamba at the back, Bellusci again made a few mistakes so Cooper is the better bet when not injured.
Midfield Cook and Murphy had excellent games and they all did fine in midfield, last 15 mins Redders should have changed things as we backed off.
Re Morison does not look like scoring but he works in this system so as it is all about 3 points I will take that.

For next season mind we do need a target man who will score for sure but right now, we look better when we have the 5 in midfield (Brentford game a great example of 442 not working for us).

Agree0 Disagree0

When Antennuci came on yesterday we went 4-4-2 and started to lose the midfield battle

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks dg
Interesting to hear our midfield needs 5 players or looks weak. Have to play 4-5-1 then.
Good to hear murphy coming good too

We are probably safe from relegation now. We really have nothing to loose by recalling Ajose who scored again and set up another and giving him a run in the team. Use the rest of the season as a testing ground for him. Send Morrison out on loan in his place. Might actually get him scoring.

like some I don't lke morison nr said he was tireless so that means ran ran ran but no he did play better but missed in first half 4yrds out and then second half could he hit a mile wide barn door no even b4 game he and sharp keeped missing pratice shots at some point cani as to come in lacking in goals could cost us we struggle for one when the way were playing should be scoring three . two hard games coming up so be a good test draw and win would be great .adain in first half bamba came up for corner stood next to morison and he said go away to near post does this all the time is he aloner then and not a team player . bellucsi lucky as well chopped player down edge of area then put arm across a players throat plays well but still that chance of getting sent off . have heard Italians not happy as not playing did mc promise this is this why keeper looking bad lately anyway we won so that's what's important did fall apart in second half more goals needed then panic won't be they and more shots on goal times on Saturday when they should of but its coming

Agree0 Disagree0

Calm down Merv, we've all had a drink!

It's a bit early to say we are safe, let's enjoy the fact that we are on a good run, the first in a long time, and keep going. It's no time to tinker with the team and change what is currently a winning formula. If NR brought back Ajose and experimented with the team and we finished one place above relegation, we would all be moaning, fed up every Saturday and asking for him to be sacked.

Keep the faith and let's look upwards and see where we can get to, there's a few teams I would like to finish above at the end of the season!
