but did you get a banning order?

Fortunately not Tad, I was a pretty fast runner in those days.
The only banning order I got was at the Cats Whiskers in Meanwood

Those names have triggered my hives.

I’m twitching like Jack Douglas

Is this the start of a confession?

common knowledge around here mate.
thing is, I genuinely wasn't doing anything, for once!!

Happy days. My dad also took me to my first games, both Leeds RL and United in 1975. Leeds RL away games on the Wallace Arnold around the back of the Corn Exchange and service train or Pioneer Branch coach for Leeds Utd. I remember getting a Family Railcard in the mid 80’s for Leeds Utd games. As a responsible father of 18 years old I had to encourage my children to shave in order to take them as kids anywhere across the UK for £1. Strangely enough one of my kids was a couple of years older than me and that became a bit of a problem. Portsmouth away cost us the grand total of £20 for 5 people, £16 for me the as the parent and £1 each for my four kids. It was tough times back in the 80’s and you had to be a little enterprising at times

Good old Wally Arnold busses.
I remember them well.
I started going to the games mid 60`s.
For those on here scratching their head as to what`s happening to this thread, it will go back to normal this weekend after the all our yesterdays finishes.

finally picked up blackburn and preston tickets.
taking my 7 year old grandson to his first away game. looking forward to it

Just catching up on this thread. Brilliant reminiscing lads love it.

Looks like Ramazanni is back for the weekend. Great news.

remember the special trains? they must have been the oldest, most battered trains going.
had some great days out with knaresborough, now harrogate, whites

I have vague memories of the Service Crew!!

I reckon he will be on the bench for this one building him up gently.
Meslier
Bogle, Rodon, Struijk, Byram
Tenaka, Rothwell
Gnonto, Aaronson, Solomon
Joseph
Swap James and Ramazani for Gnonto and Solomon last 20 minutes along with Piroe for Joseph.

bit early for ramazani imo. think Wednesday. probably Saturday.

where do you start????
tanaka and Rothwell were terrible positionally. offered no protection whatsoever. we massively missed ampadeu there.

there left back had a brilliant left foot mind. still, 3 points is 3 points. onto Wednesday night

That was a masterclass from Dan James on how to play as a winger. Direct, unselfish, running into space and three assists. His work rate was phenomenal considering he’d been on international duty. Piroe should be ashamed by comparison, what a soft, lazy t**t. Tanaka was fantastic again, just the signing we needed, and thought Byram gave us some good width and penetration out wide left. The defence was poor today, thankfully we got away with it. Great to be sitting top, no mistakes on Wednesday and this has the makings of a really good week for us.

I thought byram poor defensively. some better final balls and piroe gets at least a double today.
would it be a suprise if bamford started on Wednesday?

Two of the best defences and 7 goals scored confused.com
Struijk with his 1 mistake per game almost cost us.
Messlier again faced 5 shots 3 conceded but not sure if he could/should have saved at least one of them.
Aaronson doing an impersonation of Jack Harrison and Piroe not at it today.
Tanaka, James and Solomon top class and it shows a resilience and fight in the team which is pleasing to see.
We are quite a small team and tend to get punished by the more physical teams.
But 3 points and 2 gained over Sheffield and Sunderland will do.

I actually thought Bamford might have started today Tad.

think with piroe is you know he isn't a barnstormer CF who will occupy centre half's.
he's intelligent and a top finisher.
like I said today, like all season, our final ball is appalling.
bit more quality and composure and piroe scores today.

Piroe is by far our best goalscorer.
I think the way we play negates his skills as a finisher hence why a hell of a lot of our goals are scored by our wide men cutting inside.

I didnt think Piroe was that bad, like Tad said, he could easily have got a few goals today if the ball in to the middle were better.

What would be the thoughts for Bamford starting tho? Just to get some minutes into him?

meslier had no chance with any of them.

Bring back the boring 2-0 wins any day after that

it was a huge result though, absolutely huge.. if we can back up with 2 wins this week that would be superb. Sheff U and Sunderland play each other Friday..

on a serious note I've no idea why people moan about a routine, dull 2-0 win.
it's still 3 points

Yeah i dont get the negativity, I'd take boring wins every day of the week, Farke has one job and thats to get us promoted
