Lets get this straight.
All football organisations act very strongly against players spitting.
Anyone retaliating may risk a ban but are more likely to face a large fine as football associations see this as the ultimate provocation by a player.
If a ban does occur it will be a 1 game ban with the person spitting facing a much lengthier lay off and a significant fine.
Personally I think the only person taking some time out will be Diouf with other players getting a severe warning and both clubs fined .

correct me if im wrong but derry under contract with QPR isnt he ? so cant see him here for a while yet ? mot {Ed013's Note - If he was to come it would be on loan. I am pretty sure that all these are fantasy rumours and people are putting 2 + 2 together and coming out with 5! If someone has a genuine source then I think this would be a great signing}
Since when has a contract meant anything in football?

Rumour has it M Owen might be allowed to go out on loan !! Do we want him ??
I would have him but think someone like west ham will get him as bates wont want to pay the amount of money they would want
We should get him. He still has the ability. He scored 2 goals from 2 chances against us
He's a crock that we don't need another crock! {Ed020's Note - too old, too injury prone, too expensive. i agree, no thanks.}
Last I heard he didn't want to go on loan because he quite likes benchwarming and playing the odd exhibition match whilst taking in a big wage...
As for the post most teams scored against us under Grayson.
Even Paynter got 2 against us.

Paynter DIDN'T Score again, we lost 4-3
Turner did score though so that was good Gj {Ed020's Note - this the behind closed door reserve match?}
Yes Ed, It was. Gj {Ed020's Note - just read it on os. cheers}
Yeah he did..
Paynter DID score again {Ed013's Note - It was Taylor, Sam and Paynter that got the goals. Earlier it had said Smith had scored, but the website have changed it to Paynter}
For Paynter to score AGAIN, he has to score a goal in the first place?
You expecting TWO miracles in one day then?
Lol Paynter scored !!! , or did he pay Smith, just to say that he scored lol Gj {Ed013's Note - That's what I was thinking! A confidence boost! I bet he was on the floor and it bounced off his backside from a Smith shot!}
No think they put a barn door in the middle of the pitch and a pass from him went astray and hit it
To credit barn door with that goal is a disgrace it was going in the net and billy stood on the line decides to help it on it's way, I suppose it's the only way he'd get a goal!
Suprised he knew which side of the line to kick it over, then...

Neil Warnock:
Andy Lonergan
Adam Smith Andy O'Brien Tom Lees Clint Hill
Shaun Derry
Robbie Rogers Adam Clayton Aidy White
Robert Snodgrass
Ross McCormack
Oh yes.
I can't see becchio getting dropped .rogers will be out with concussion . we probably play 4-4-2 but dimand formation other than that we could play a 4-3-1-2 but it all depends on who's brought in over the next few weeks
He sounds keen on playing Bechio and impressed by townsend.
I think he will have mccormack as an inside forward on the right wing and play townsend left, with snoddy in the hole behind luciano, then have a DM sitting whether that be brown or derry and give clayton the liscence to go forward. Makes it more fluid and balanced if it goes that way. but i think it is only possible if the defence is sorted out and are solid at the back...
So basically you would play Larry's team with two additions. One who will get sent off before the games finished. If Larry had got rid of Paynter, Connolly, Bruce, O' Brien, Varynnen, Forsell, O' Dear, Brown and bought 4 reasonable quality players we would have been in the top three now.
How is this team any better, with the addition of Derry?! He'll do a job but he's not exactly a world beater & he needs the right players around him, he had that at QPR last season. Plus he's getting on abit, we need a quality young player in there if we are hoping to make an impact on games!
I would be playing Bruce in front of Lees at Centre-back. I am not Becchio's biggest fan but I can't see him being dropped and being replaced by Rogers. Also, I thought it was just emergency loans that are open now so if that is the case how can we suddenly be signing all these new players, or have I missed something?
Dont name any team sheets, Derry might give them away
Lol @ the teamsheet poster - nice one
What Happened with the team sheet had nothing to do with Derry it was old wobbly eyes he passed it to Palace thinking it was the 4th official

To the post that said is anyone going to watch the reserve game at thorp arch you cant just turn up and watch thats why it is called behind closed doors
21 Feb 2012 11:15:33
Anybody going to our game with Hull today ?? Paynter is in starting 11, Hope he starts scoring.
as Ross McC will get a big ban, maybe 5 games Gj
Ross won't get a ban!
Firstly ross will not get a ban and secondly its behind closed doors friendly anyway!
Sorry i didn't know it was a behind closed doors game, .was just told about it.. Gj
Why wont Mccormack get a ban . he head butted another player . he will get a ban if the ref has seen it or if it is on camera
Gj ya silly sausage, we are playing Hull for real at the KC stadium on the 6th March - you'll be able to go to that one though!

Everything's positive and I'm stoked. Have noticed (and quite rightly so) that the bates haters are quiet. Does this mean we are all one again? Would love to get some feedback from the bates protesters that want to organize boycotts. Reasoning is not to create a divide or have a crack, rather to see if we are all united. I sure hope so for the sake of our great club. Please let's make ER the fortress, PL action would be great!
Positivist breeds success and success shuts morons up! Warnock arrival will quash all the protests as Leeds will be in the premier league at the end of his contract!
Thanks Ken MOT
Just wondering if they even look at this site
We know that NW looked at Leeds forums before he signed!
I thought he'd only signed a one year deal, I wouldn't get too excited about the prospect of gaining promotion in that length of time, there's alot of work to be done! I may be wrong about the length of NW contract, please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm not 100%
2 year contract with a get out clause for the end of this season. I believe
18month contract, with an option after the end. Teams don't run managers contracts so they finish midseason, which is why it isn't a 1 or 2 year deal plus it was on the official site saying that it was 18month

Nick Montgomery
Not you again!!
You must be his agent!
Lol, you again. When we need a new ball boy we'll give him a call
20 Feb 2012 23:58:04
Responding to the last post about Nw 20 million to spend in summer I probably don't believe that unless kb is to be bought out however I firmly beleive that Warnock would not join if no budget was available MOT
What you need to remember is the additional repayment for promotion to the premier league ends this season so Leeds could commit that amount knowing that they wouldn’t have to pay the money I for one would rather it be spent on the team rather than creditors mainly HMRC!
I still think this is the only reason Bates has been dragging his heels, and to be honest I think we'd all rather the money wasn't lost this way, after all it was the likes of Ridsdale that lost us money and not Bates, and yet Ridsdale is accountable fo any of it...??
