I'm up with the chickens to watch my beloved Leeds United as they take their first step in the playoffs this morning away to Millwall. Away fans have been banned from both legs but I'll be roaring the boys on from western NY. If any of you are up and around at this hour, join me. Come on you Whites!

COME ON YOU WHITES!
Shame about Sheffield United getting the draw last night.
I am really rooting for a Preston Burnley Final
Leeds vs Scunthorpe
and
Bury vs Rochdale
Yeah, I agree it looks as if the Blades and the Dons are in the driver's seats of their respective ties. I don't like either. I'd love to see either Preston or Burnley go up even though I don't expect either to be able to survive in the Premiership. I don't rate Wolves with Mick McCarthy or Brum either for that matter.
What do you make of the FA's decision to ban away fans from the two legs of this tie?
Change it to Sky Sports 1
Did the fella just change it.... I think he might have
I didn't see that about the away fans.
I guess it is okay...they are both not too nice
So, the Den is going to be SILENT today when Leeds score their THREE goals!
That's a look, that's look... the look of love
I've switched over to this link for the match:
http://www.justin.tv/vip_pub/popout
He did change it!!!
SKY SPORTS 1 it is
VSS is working strong
I think it's a disgrace - just stereotyping based on reputation.
I agree with you about reputation but Millwall are awful
Good to hear that Millwall have a poor record in the playoffs.
The guy who scored the winner for Doncaster last year against Leeds in the Final is on loan at Millwall
Millwall are underdogs? Why?
They have been ahead of Leeds most of the season
ooh,
Leeds have the best form going in out of all them
Keep it up
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Pretty bubble in the air
Just want to start supporting West Ham early
If they get anything from Costa today, United could be Champions by Wednesday evening
It's huge to have Jermaine Beckford fit and scoring going into the playoffs. Howay the lads!
Looks like a few LUFC fans have made it into the Lion's Den despite the FA and the club's warnings.
Teams coming out on the pitch. Come on you Yellows!
Are you around for the morning, mate?
Nearly kick off time. I'm on pins and needles.
"Can anyone stop this man?" I hope not! Come on Jermaine!
I am here
I do have to work on putting in a new basement floor
Why are Leeds wearing yellow
White doesn't clash with blue
I guess the shorts would
We're off
And we're away...!
Dirty, Dirty Millwall. An elbow to the face within the first minute! What a shocker!
ooh, nice hit by Jermaine
Beckford with an early shot - just scrambled away by the keeper. Good, bright start from the boys.
Good start from United
Snodgrass really needs to think about changing his name!
Can we hang onto him if we do go up? Surely, there will be some sniffing about.
Never offside!!
No home wins so far in the playoffs
Jermaine flagged for offside. Never ref! A midfielder for Millwall down on the pitch. Good early signs.
The commentators were all saying that we'd play it cagey from the off but I had a feeling we'd have a go at them early on.
You guys better go up to have any chance of keeping him
Have Millwall had possession in Leeds' half?
That's "Snoddy" to you!
sorry
First corner to Millwall. Punched out by the Great Dane.
Is he a good keeper or would you like an upgrade?
We're playing well so far, early into the challenge.
Ooh, that was nervy from Jon Douglas. Danger there from the free kick.
Millwall could have done better
Keep it tight Leeds
I like Ankergren. The issue is always going to be whether this squad, largely home-grown in the youth development scheme can survive in the Championship. If we did go up, I'd be happy with mid-table survival next season.
If Leeds get a positive result today that can't think that they are through. The away team in the second leg always seem to get a result
When is the second leg?
One of our defenders down on the pitch now. Dirty, dirty Millwall!
Never!!!! You and Peterbrough for the Prem
He looks okay... holding the hammy though
Second leg is Thursday afternoon - 2:45 at Elland Road. I've got a workshop but I'm hoping to be able to sneak away for a couple of hours. What do you think - dental appt?
No chance. I want us to build slowly and organically, which means a few seasons in the Championship and continuing to blood the kids.
That is Thursday evening?
Our afternoon?
I'd like to see Becchio get into the match a bit more. Not much from the Argie yet.
Yeah, 7:45 GMT.
The other Championship play-off starts this afternoon at 5:15 GMT. Then Scunny and Dons finish up Friday.
This computer lark is amazing isn't it??
A year ago you would have been following text
Ten years ago you would have to wait for a phone call from Mom and Dad
dirty Millwall... send him off
Ooh, lovely, their danger man Jason Price is off with a hammy. Fantastic!
Last year's game winner is off
BE OFF WITH YOU
This guy better not come on a score
Absolutely! I can't believe it. It's a brand new world.
The game has settled down a bit. I'd be happy with a score draw or even 0-0 to be fair.
What's with those naff white slashes on the right shoulder of Millwall
Pooftahs
I'm forever blowing bubbles...
The sub Neil Harris wins a corner. I don't like him already.
Away goals don't count until extra time if at all
Stop mucking about with it in the back!
How do you mean?
Shout for handball! Bugger off!
Some argybargy with Snoddy there.
Bothy players are booked there.
I don't think away goals count after ninety minutes.
In the Cambridge Stevenage match
The first leg was 1-3 and the second leg was 2-0
The still went into extra time
BUT i do seem to remember that away goals may count after the extra time period. I am not sure though
Delph with a nice shot there but well smothered by the keeper.
Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
If he gets a yellow in the second, is he out of the final or is it like league play
Rangers take a 37th minute in the Old Firm Derby
Don't quote me
That bloody Harris is causing trouble... do your hammy too
Lovely corner there from Millwall. Keep that us, please.
I agree. I can hear a tweak from here.
Dunno how the yellow cards work at this point.
That empty stand looks horrible!
Dirty Millwal
Becchio is down, but should be able to continue.
52 goals in the Beckford/Becchio partnership. Not bad at all!
Shut it, Trevor!
Who is coming off? There seems to be movement on the Leeds bench??
My link just froze
STOP IT
Oh dear, I'm frozen! Refreshing as I type. Come on, come on.
I am going to try your link
Your link doesn't work either
The Atdhe link is working - Setanta coverage. Good stream.
http://atdhe.net/6936/watch-millwall-vs-leeds-united
jinx
It is a little beind.
I already saw that
It seems a bit behind the VSS one, though. Becchio is just trotting off. Looks like there's gonna be a change.
Half an hour in. I'm reasonably pleased.
This Setanta commentator is useless
Becchio has continued. Good lad.
I agree. I was enjoying the Sky coverage, even though Trevor is distinctly anti-Leeds.
lots of argy bargy
More angybargy. Becchio went in late. Then Kilkenny was floored.
Half time at Ibrox
A lot of the 70s old boys in the media - Andy Gray, Trevor Francis, Rodney Marsh, etc - don't like Leeds. They remember being beaten too often, I suspect.
How did Millwall do in that Final?
Oh Yeah, United crushed them 3-0
Gray is anti Leeds?
Beckford with a tame shot. Didn't really test the keeper.
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Oh yeah - he one of the "Dirty Leeds" crowd, definitely.
Too much long ball stuff. Keep it on the floor, lads.
Good save, Ankergren.
Couple of chances there for Millwall
Knock t off
Five to half
Keep it tight yellows
Snoddy's having a good game.
Oooh, Becchio goes of so close after Beckford had worked the opening.
Another shout for a penalty. Bugger off. That was a good header.
ooh, could have been a better effort by Bech
Nothing wrong with that challenge
Harris on the deck now. Prang!
Millwall threatening again. Blow up, ref!
I agree with the commentator. We've had the best of it so far. I'm well pleased.
Well blow up after they score from this free kick
Well maybe not
Free kick chance right at the end of the half....
Rubbish free kick. Far too shallow.
Becchio with another chance.
almost in with the header
Three minutes of added...
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Why is that a yellow? I don't believe it. He totally won the ball.
Delph in the book
I thought it was going to be worse by the reaction of the ref
Just call him BLADE!
Alright, maybe not.
Do you take that back?
Blow up, ref!
Yeah, after the replay. It was a shocker of a tackle. Yellow for sure.
Half way there
well, a quarter of the way there
wel, a sixth of the way to the Championship
A shocker indeed
Half-time: 0-0. I'm pleased with the performance. I think we have a chance of winning this one. But I'd be happy with a draw to take back to Elland Road.
I still have the VSS window open. I keep refreshing. I'll let you know if it pops up
I'm off to play "Leeds United Calypso"
Lovely
The Special One
i love Roon's voice
Not much of a half-time show on Setanta. Just the Roon and Jose puppets.
I'm got the lucky Leeds scarf on for the second half.
I do think it is funny though
I wish it was an update one
I would love to hear their take on the happening at the Bridge
Of course, you and I have very different feelings about what to wear durning matches
I can't wear anything United during the game
I will be the reason if things don't go well
How do you think we will do in the Manchester derby?
It is usually a tough game but recently United have started to play well.. for once
Teams are back out for second half. Millwall about to kick us off. They've made one change. No changes for the good guys.
Millwall bringing on a sub for the second half.
The Den doesn't look full even without the away fans taken out of the equation
Elland Road will chock-a-block
The second half is underway
I reckon it's an easy win for you tomorrow. You should wrap up the championship by Wednesday, I reckon.
Early corner for the Lions
Early corner for Millwall....
That's if Costa drop points today
I'm forever blowing bubbles
Handball! Book him, ref.
Oh, that was a superb move. Lovely backhell by Becchio. Corner to Leeds.
What a great move by the two front men!!
Shame that didn't go in
Did you hear Martin Tyler all of a sudden?
I'm getting the Sky commentary bleeding through here. Very weird.
Free kick now...
Useless free kick but another corner
Good start by the men in Yellow
Good pressure here. Corner to come...
Well in, linesman!~
VSS is now working but it is Setanta too
It is slightly ahead of atdhe
Bit of dissent after the offside call by Alexander. Book him, ref!
I'll stick with Atdhe. Ta, though.
Becchio earns a corner out wide left.
All Leeds at the moment
I will let you comment when Leeds get their goal!
The free kick is just too high for Becchio.
off to the loo
I'l be back
Cheers, mate!
A little too close for comfort there. Heart in mouth time.
Super save, Casper!
Ankergren's had a great match so far. Keep it up, Great Dane!
Too much Millwall pressure for my liking now.
Coming up on the hour mark. Simon Grayson seems to be weighing the options now.
Delph has got to watch himself now. He's already on a card.
Beckford nearly in there.
Good strike from Beckford. He does have a nose for goal.
Oooh, Casper flapped a bit at that chance. Cleared out though.
Bolder will pick up a yellow for that challenge on Becchio. Nasty.
Twenty five minutes left in this one.
I'm back
Millwall has been on top?
Matt said there was some kind of non penalty incident.
Was there?
34,000 at ER last week
Well done
A bit ping pongy now. We need to keep our composure in the last twenty odd minutes.
That was a long one, Dave! A bucket of vindaloo last night, was it?
Bugger, bugger, bugger! Harris with the goal for Millwall.
1-0
Oh dear!!
It is the bloody substitute
sorry mate
Just score the equalizer
I knew it was going to happen
The damn score popped up on my Sky Sports Centre five minutes ago
Should have been cleared!
Douglas made a hash of that one to be fair.
A shot straight from the kickoff!
I thought the Argie had a k sound not ch
This commentator uses ch
Fifteen minutes for us to get one back.
It is Bek-io. This bloke's a complete numpty.
Free kick to Millwall...comes to nothing. I'm not happy now.
Rangers have beaten Celtic
They are now on top
I think they play 36 games in the season
That means there is one more game left
Time for a change surely now.
Here we go...changes to come.
Take that back
They both have three games left
Pleased with the change?
Brad Johnson for Jon Howson. Good change I reckon.
13 to go
IT IS LEEDS TIME!!
I predict a 2-1 victory
Looks like another change to come. Andy Robinson to come on, probably for Delph.
That would be loverly.
The sounds gone all funny on the Atdhe feed.
Thanks for the correct pronunciation
Inside the last ten minutes. I'd love to see us put on some pressure in the latter stages.
I had that problem too
I am on VSS
but it just froze
Just refreshed and it is now SKy coverage
Now I'm frozen. Going over to VSS.
a one niller wouldn't be a bad result
And I'm back on Sky. Come on, you Whites!
