A New Era Begins...

These are exciting times at Elland Road this morning, as Brian McDermott leads out his new side for the first time as Leeds manager. "Win one for Baldy" has to be the motto. That one win - against Not a Big Club - this morning would virtually secure another season in the Championship for McDermott to work his magic on the club. Join me for this one and the other matches today.

From LUFC.com: "Brian McDermott took his place in the Elland Road dug-out for the first time, less than 48 hours after being confirmed as the club;s new manager.
His first starting line-up saw Stephen Warnock, playing in a central defensive role in place of the injured Lee Peltier, named captain of the side."

Good morning Bob. I will be cheering for the Whites as either you or your twin makes his managerial debut for Leeds.

Wolves vs Huddersfield is a vital match from a Leeds point of view.

Pretty scrappy opening to the match, according to the LUFC.com reports. No real chances in the first ten minutes.

7:43 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Yeah - I am; on the LUFC.com site.

7:44 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Luke Varney tries a "hand of God" move. Lucky to escape a yellow.

7:47 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

First real opening after 10 minutes; Steve Morison involved from close range as the visitors hack the ball clear.

7:48 AM

I am on the LUFC site, but can't find text updates of the match. Which link did you go to?

Sounds like we're starting to exert some pressure. Adam Drury crossing and David Prutton nodding clear.

Falkirk are 0-2 up now over Hibs.

"Leeds are in control of this game" says the SS reporter.

7:52 AM

It looks like Falkirk will play Dundee United or Celtic in the final.

7:52 AM

I'm also following the text on the Football365 site.

7:52 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I sure hope so. A win should help keep Brian's lads up.I am not sure if Evil Kenevil would have kept them up.

7:53 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

According to soccernet, Austin has had Leeds two best chances. The Owls have done naught.

7:55 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I like the sound of that so far.

7:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Catching practice for both keepers.

7:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

How about the Evil Kenevil remark. A fitting nickname?

7:56 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Jermaine Johnson is doing a lot of fouling - time to get the cards out, ref.

7:58 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

About time - Johnson gets a yellow for "persistent infringement."

7:59 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They really are evil!

7:59 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Bloody hell - Not a Big Club have taken the lead. And it's that evil one, Jermaine Johnson with the goal.

8:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

My link is a bit behind, but he had already had a few infractions, so if you add on the ones he committed then definitely time for a booking

8:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sorry Bob. I just saw that.I just saw that Chris Kirkland saved a shot from a corner.

8:02 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

COME ON YOU WHITES!
MOT!

8:02 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I hope Leeds come back. If Not a Big club wins then they are all the way up to ninth place.

8:04 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We've responded well - a Paul Green free kick just saved off the line.

8:04 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Another foul by Not a Big Club and a shot from Ross is cleared Miguel Angel Llera, the most booked player this season for Not a Big Club. He must be really evil!

8:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I don't think paddy Kenny has made a save. Just caught a few crosses.

8:07 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The goal did seem to come out of nothing - a big punt by Kirkland - Route 1.

8:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

BLOODY HELL!!! FALKIRK LEAD HIBS 0-3 IN THEW SCOTTISH CUP SEMIS.Surely, they must be all but in the final.

8:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

It seemed to be against the run of play.

8:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

More fouling by the Owls.I will check the stats at the half because I am interested to see the foul count.More catching practice for Chris Kirkland and Jermaine Johnson is offside

8:11 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Coke gets a yellow for "unsporting behavior."

8:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Giles Coke (interesting name ) is called for a foul on Ross and has talked himself into the book.The free kick seems to have been wasted.

8:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Would he have been booked if he had been a Pepsi product???

8:13 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

First save by Kenny, from a shot by Leroy Lita.

8:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Leeds seem to be dominating, but Brian will be disappointed that they haven't worked Chris Kirkland too often.I am sure that will be part of his first halftime talk.

8:14 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I doubt it, MUR - boom boom!

8:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Lita seemed to be player with so much promise, but seems destined to be a career Championship player

8:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ta, BD. I was wondering!

8:16 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Into stoppage time at ER

8:16 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Now its Miguel Llera with a free kick saved by Kenny. Sounds as if Not a Big Club are dominating now.

8:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Paddy Kenny forced into another save. This time for Miguel Angel Llera.

8:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They have taken charge the last few minutes. Brian will not be pleased.

Blogger manunitedrules said...

Falkirk lead Hibs 0-3 at the half in the Scottish Cup Semi

8:19 AM

Not a Big Club lead at the half thanks to the goal by Jermaine Johnson. Old Baldy will need to have a motivational debut halftime talk.

8:20 AM

The schedule for 10 AM :

I know there is a match on either ESPN or ESPN 2, but it's not appearing on my guide.

Sorry about the score Bob

Is the Semi on FSC today

8:32 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Good morning, UWS. Leeds were dominating until the last few minutes of the half, but really didn't work Chris Kirkland too often.

8:33 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

DId you find a link for the match?

Sorry, UWS. The semi is on FSC+.

The second half of the Scottish Cup semi is underway from Hampden park.

8:36 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Half-time at Elland Road. Time for Brian to work his magic in the dressing room. I'm off to the magic couch for a few winks.

8:36 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I'm back now from the magic couch. Brian has acted immediately and has brought on Spitty for the ineffectual David Norris. I love him already. I've had it with managers who wait until the hour mark regardless.

8:37 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Come on, you Whites - time for the comeback!

8:38 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A few halftime changes:

Spitty came on for David Norris for tactical reasons and Not a Big Club brought on Kieran Lee for Giles Coke.The Owls must have been thirsty for a change!

I agree, Bob. well done on you, I mean Brian with the halftime change.

8:39 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Falkirk may be in the Europa League in July so they can be thrown to the wolves.

8:40 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Morning, UWS. Good to have you on board. Could use some MUFC mojo right about now.

8:41 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Sounds like a scrappy start to the second half with fouls from both sides.

8:42 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I just checked the stats and as expected the Evil Not a Big Club lead in fouls 14 to 6.Possession is 50-50 and each time has three shots on target , but Leeds have five extra off target.

8:43 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Another change for Not a Big Club as Big forward , Steve Howard , is on for Jermaine Johnson. Both players that have come off have been booked. Smart by Dave Jones.

8:44 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Looks like no coverage of FA Cup semi on FSC today.

8:44 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I did not know that Stuart Holden is playing for Not a Big Club. Jurgen must be excluding him from the USMNT because he must be Not a Big Player!

8:46 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

No. It is on FSC+. Sorry lads.

8:46 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I didn't realize that either - I thought he was still at Bolton.

8:47 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Hibs have scored vs Falkirk, but trail 1-3. The start of a comeback?

8:47 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

No worries - I'll dial up a link for it.

8:47 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Looks as if Spitty has jumped right into the middle of the match.

8:49 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I just checked. it must be a loan as he came over last month from Bolton.He made two sub appearances for Bolton in the Cup and one sub appearance in the Championship, but has started the last three matches for the Owls.Strange about losing his place at Bolton.

8:50 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Reda Johnson goes into the book now for a foul on Spitty. He's working his magic. We need to take advantage now.

8:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Chris Kirkland saved a shot from Ross and two corners from Leeds, both taken by Spitty. One cleared by Llera and one caught by Kirkland.

8:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed, BD.

8:51 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Paddy Kenny saved a free kick from Stuart Holden. Aidy White on for Steve Morison. I don't get that . Do you, Bob?

8:53 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

We've reached the hour mark. Aidy White is brought on for Steve Morison. Come on!

8:53 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Steve has been right off the boil recently. No goals in the last nine matches. If he doesn't improve, we may well shop him in the summer.

8:54 AM

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
1-1 LUKE VARNEY WITH A HEADER!

8:55 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

YESSSS!!!!!!!!!!

I've just woken up the dog upstairs as Luke Varney equalizes!

1-1!

8:55 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Ross with the assist as he crossed for Varney to head home.

8:55 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

That's Luke's fifth goal of the season. He's been just about the only one scoring recently.

Now let's go on and win it!

8:56 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Surely Llera is itching for a booking for persistent fouling

8:56 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

It was Ross with a cross and Luke with a simple headed finish inside the box.

8:57 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Leeds tie it up!!

8:57 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

I think Llera's already been booked - he's close to a second yellow.

8:58 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

i was in the loo when I heard it
Now I am off for walkies

I told you it would be a weird morning!

8:58 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Back up to 15th now on 53 points. I want another goal straight away.

8:59 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A sign of Leeds dominance is that Leeds have five corners and Not a Big club have yet to win a corner.Leeds should take advantage of that

9:00 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Get one of those bone idle teenagers to walk Shadow, eh UWS?

9:00 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Cheers UWS. Llera has not been booked despite just as many fouls as the entire Leeds team combined!

9:01 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

YESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Woke up the dog again - Luke!!!!!!

2-1!

9:01 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree, Bob. Sparky is asleep with Elizabeth

9:01 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Let's get another, lads - improve the goal difference.

9:02 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

YESSSSSSSSSSS!!!! 2-1 AS LUKE VARNEY HAS A BRACE!

9:02 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sounds like an identical goal - Ross cross and Luke headed finish.

9:03 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Back up into the top half - 10th on 55 points. What a difference a win would make.

9:03 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Both goals were headers and both were crosses from Ross.

9:04 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Holden has gone off for Maguire now. I doubt whether he's back to 100%.

9:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I just saw that Fawlty Towers vs Barnet has been postponed.

9:05 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Also, he's probably not match fit as this is only his third start the entire season.

9:06 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

About 15 minutes left in this one. Come on, you Whites!

9:06 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

WOW! Hibs score another as they now trail 2-3 after being down three at the half.

9:08 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Eleven minutes plus stoppage time remaining.
COME ON YOU WHITES!

9:09 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

A few too many fouls by our lot right about now. Let's not allow these mugs back into this one. Come on!

9:10 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

I agree. It's getting testy at ER!

9:11 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

The comeback can come at Hampden - not at ER. Desmond is not welcome.

9:11 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Just about ten minutes left. Hang in there, you Whites!

9:11 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

According to the stats fouling by both sides as each side have had several, so the ref will need to be alert the final few minutes.

9:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Agreed, Bob. Desmond cannot go to Hampden either due to too many goals!

9:12 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Paddy Kenny saved a header from Steve Howard off a free kick from Llera then Leroy Lita shot just wide.

9:14 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Another great save by Paddy Kenny and again from a header by Steve Howard. The cross was from Lewis Buxton.

9:14 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Sounds like we're under the cosh. We need someone like Spitty to take the pressure off. Hold the ball up, run into the corner, fall over and earn cheap fouls.

9:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

A reprieve for Leeds as Lita fouls Stepehen Warnock and Paddy Kenny clears.

9:15 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Michael Tonge is on for Stephen Warnock. Not sure about that, but I guess Brian wants Tonge to control things in the center of the park!

9:16 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Michael Tonge has come on for Stephen Warnock to run about a bit and waste some time. Nervous moments at ER. About five minutes and stoppage time left.

9:17 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

That is all the remaining substitutions from both sides.Two minutes plus stoppage time remaining

9:18 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

WOW! THE COMEBACK IS COMPLETE AT HAMPDEN. NOW 3-3. ET?

9:18 AM  
Blogger The Blue Devil said...

Should be just down to stoppage time at this point. Let's hope it's just a minute or two.

9:19 AM

Sreve Howard fouls Jason Pearce and gives a chance for Paddy Kenny to clear the danger

9:20 AM

Extra time now at Hampden.

9:21 AM

YES! Full-time at Elland Road and we've pulled off that first win under the McDermott regime that we were hoping for.

Safety in the Championship and lots of hope for next season now.

Nearly 4-3 to Hibs a s player was through with just the keeper to beat, but the keeper saved.

9:31 AM

The announcer said the keeper made a double save from the penalty an Hibs nearly took the lead a minute ago.

9:31 AM

I heard that Spurs paid the penalty at Basle Brush in the EL,

9:32 AM

I think the fourth official was replaced due to injury!

9:33 AM

The ESPN match doesn't seem on!

9:34 AM

9:35 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The announcer said Hibs have won their last seven penalty shootouts.Those must have been in the Scottish Cup or Scottish League Cup.

9:35 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They advertised one last night , but I don't see it either

9:35 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

In the penalty shootout, Ade shot underneath the ball and it cleared the bar by several yards. A real numpty!

9:36 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Leeds up to Tenth

9:37 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

Lots of Hibs pressure off a corner. Falkirk blocked two shots then a shot from Just outside the box was high and wide.

9:37 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

Tiger Woods has been docked two strokes for an illegal drop yesterday

He should have be DQ but of course wasn't!

9:37 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They should be safe too now that they are on 55 points.

9:38 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

He should have . Just like Ade, he's a numpty too, but probably worse.Tiger is a head case, IMHO!

A shot from Griffiths leads to a Hibs corner. A poor corner from Griffiths eludes everyone and is out for a goal kick

9:41 AM

Lee Griffiths scores but is called offside off a superb through ball. He looked level on the replay

9:42 AM

A long ball from Doyle is headed out for another Hibs corner.

Halftime of ET and still 3-3

9:45 AM

The second half of ET is Underway from Hampden and Hibs attack from the off. Griffiths has a shot blocked then Taiwo headed wide from a cross by Griffiths.

The corner from Griffiths is cleared.

9:49 AM

The only shootout that Hibs have ever lost was to Leeds in the 70s in the Fairs Cup!Hibs must be favored in penalty shootout!

9:52 AM

A rare Falkirk attack and Higgins blazes well over.

9:52 AM

Another Hibs corner.

9:53 AM  
Blogger United We Stand said...

I am sure all the players on the field today had everything to do with that shoot out against Leeds!

9:53 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

The corner from Griffiths is cleared. Hibs play it back in and it runs out for a goal kick

9:53 AM  
Blogger manunitedrules said...

They did.Who knows what they did in a previous life, LOL!

9:54 AM

Also, it was an excuse to give Leeds a shout after that vital victory .
