Cummon you mighty Leeds

[JethroB76 (Jeff)]

A sweet victory indeed, moreso IMO that it was through the goals of a young Leeds boy who has come through the ranks with his boyhood club

Now for Wembley..

How important was the goal in 90 + 6 min in the first leg?
Just goes to prove it's not over till the fat lady sings.

[JethroB76 (Jeff)]

Well done

[cahullian]

Talked to a few Leeds fans today who have tickets to the Wembley game. I am so jealous. My excitment meter is up and running already. I am gob smacked at how many people here in Oz have taken the game to heart.

Things will only get better after socceroos (maybe they should be called the Footballroos, or the Footyroos now he he he ) have a successful June in the world cup qualifiers in the group of death...

I know what you mean, the County mailing list is abuzz with people discussing tickets/travel etc. for our Wembley game on Monday. Very frustrating hearing about it from afar!

It's a good time of the year to be a football lover.

[JethroB76 (Jeff)]

Big game tonight...you watching it Gazz?

[cahullian]

Yep watched it and didn't like what I saw. We never looked like winning. We had a good spell in the latter part of the game but we could have kept playing till midnight and still not have scored. Doncaster deserved their win and it's another season playing crap foootball or the boys.

Gazz

[JethroB76 (Jeff)]

Doncaster were a very nice passing team

[cahullian]

They sure were and i wish them well next year. At least we wont be giving anyone a 15 point start next year. With a bit of luck we will go straight up next season.

On a personal note My football team won our first game this weekend and then went down 1 nil to the league leaders so things are looking up for the Plattsy boys : )

Gazz

[Solanum]

Bad luck for Leeds, but after last night you have playing against us to look forward to!!!!

Stockport County 3 Rochdale 2 : D

[cahullian]

There is always something good to come out of something bad. : )

Gazz

[JethroB76 (Jeff)]

At least someone had a win on the weekend!

This is far better...
