Falkirk have been relegated from the SPL following a 0-0 draw vs Kilmarnock. A victory was needed to relegate Killie.

Many thanks to UWS for the inspiring graphic for this thread. I'm quietly confident but I want an early goal to settle the nerves.

Interesting one, there. Three strikers bombing up front, Snoddy drops to the bench replaced by the naughty boy/leading scorer Jermaine Beckford.

Oh - that should have been one-nil. Gradel just a few inches shy of the goal.

Plenty of time for Millwall to come back
A draw would be good

I do not like the look of the table right now. I'm just going to ignore it. We have to win!

It's all rather frantic at Elland Road. Lots of nerves on display today.

10:08 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I hope Leeds don't think they're playing Norwich!
It sure looks like it

10:08 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Ah - the ball in was just too deep for Bradley Johnson at the back post.

Norwich are two down

10:09 AM

Crowd sounds good

10:10 AM

Typical behavior from an already promoted side. Good thing they're not playing one of our rivals.

10:10 AM

Everything seems to be going through Gradel on the right.

Get the card out, ref!

Free kick chance for Leeds
Ronaldo to take? It is his range

Free kick now, with Johnson and Kilkenny over it. Straight into the wall. Come on!

I wish we had Ronaldo to take those - even his half brother would do!

Come on, referee. Start booking some yellow lads.

Free kick now for us....

Johnson with the header but smothered by the tubby Bristol Rovers keeper.

10:23 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I hope Wigan are in the same position tomorrow as Rovers are now

Charlton take the lead

10:24 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

They would level with Leeds but behind on GD

10:25 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Nah - Gradel's an English kid. Mike Grella's the Yank. Don't see him in the squad today.

10:25 AM

Keep the TUBBY comments to yourself. Every time you say it, the plumps have a blinder!

How do Leeds have the worst home form of the top six?
Elland Road should be a fortress!

Shut it, commentator!

I agree. We hadn't lost any before January.

There's a lot of booing going on now. Are they booing the Rovers players?

Not as clear of a picture but okay

Shut up, Jeff!

Do you have the link back?
What did Jeff say?

10:32 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Cheers, mate. That's okay with me. The other commentator was getting on my nerves.

10:32 AM

He said, "Bristol Rovers have never won at Elland Road. What a time to do so." Shut it!

A goal before half time and the floodgates will open!

SS are ahead of the link!

KEEP YOUR HEADS!!!!!

OH NO! Gradel is off!!!!!

Be calm ref, be calm... unless you want to send off a ROVER!!

10:35 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

RED CARD!!!

For Gradel!!!!

BLOODY HELL!!

10:35 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And he won't get off now. He's lost his head! OH NO - that's definitely not what we needed. He's refusing to get off and JB is desperately trying to usher him down the tunnel.

10:35 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

WHAT IS HE DOIING????

10:35 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

He had to be held back.... GROW UP

10:36 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The fans are screaming at him.. off off off

10:36 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And a yellow for the Rovers player. The referee has now gone over to Simon Grayson to explain himself. The crowd's baying, "The referee's a wanker!"

Oh, there's the replay. Gradel just stamped on the player. What a silly boy!

10:37 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Yellow for Rovers!

Surely the ref will make it up!

Gradel was no where near it at first!
Becchio was lucky

10:37 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Cap'n Birdseye not amused.

10:38 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Come on Leeds, have them get some oomph from this

10:38 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Tranmere take the lead at Stockport

10:39 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Becchio was lucky. JB was the peacemaker for once. He actually seemed the mature one.

10:39 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And now Mickey Doyle goes in studs up. This is not good. We need to get off the pitch for the interval and settle down.

10:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Johnson with a decent turn and shot but straight at the keeper.

10:40 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

As the table stands... still going up

10:41 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It's all very scrappy now.

10:41 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeah - that was just sheer stupidity.

10:41 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That blond defender is going to be sent off

10:41 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'd have Snoddy on for Doyle in the second half.

10:42 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Come on, referee!

10:44 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And now Shane Higgs has been nobbled. The crowd is absolutely baying at the ref now. He'll need a police escort if this keeps up.

10:45 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

He won't need any escort... everyone will be happy when they leave... mark my words

all square at the New Den at half time

Beckford holding it up well.

10:49 AM

Becchio is reverting to his floppy Argentinian roots. Get up!

10:49 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Corner... useless!

10:50 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

And now Doyle has clattered someone. Yellow. He's got to be subbed in the second half. He looks good for a red today.

10:50 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Who's in the book now?
Doyle?

10:50 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

This commentator is pissing me off! We're still going up at present.

10:51 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Hiya, Tony. It's still 0-0 at Elland Road. We're level on points but ahead on goal difference with Charlton. Still in that magic second spot.

Half time whistle goes.

10:52 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

He is as annoying as the other one!

10:52 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Leeds players surrounding the ref. They need to get off down the tunnel and settle down.

10:52 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Leeds really need to get their heads straight!
They are doing a lot of complaining

The commentator thinks Charlton are going up!!!
They need another TEN GOALS!

10:53 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Showing highlights of the incident again
That was stupid by Gradel but the guy wrestled him down too!

I have never seen but was JB offside?

10:55 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Fun stuff on SS

10:57 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

That was very entertaining

11:02 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I missed that first disallowed goal, so I don't know if JB was offside now. It's moot, though. There may be room for complaint with the refereeing after the match but I agree with you. Grayson's got to get their heads straight again so that we go out and do the biz in the second half.

11:02 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

The disallowed goal was when the whole incident exploded!

11:04 AM

Attacking the Kop End. Johnson has a chance but blows it. Shut up, commentator!

Grayson making a change now. It's Lowry off for Johnny Howson.

11:17 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Again, if the score stays the same at Den, Leeds only need a draw
Who is this bloke that came on?

11:17 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Becchio nearly in at the back post there.

11:17 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Becchio can't do anything with a header

Sotton are losing at home to Southend

11:17 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Howson - defensive midfielder on for the left back Lowry who was at fault for the goal.

11:18 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It's too crowded up the middle. We need some width since Gradel was sent off. Snoddy would do the trick.

11:19 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Beckford does well but can't pick out anyone.

11:19 AM

nice play by JB but the cross gets cut out
