Adam Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 What difference at all does it make that they take the 10 point penalty in a month or two rather than now? That's ridiculous. They had better finish bottom of the table, it's just a joke how they get 'special dispensation' for anything. I don't want them to go bust but I do want them to struggle through the season getting their arse handed to them every week because they're a bunch of youth teamers and non-league nobodies.

Crybaby Bunting Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 So the club looks like a more attractive proposition to buyers until they buy it and then they get the penalty? What? Can't the club just die already? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Well my excitement for watching tonight's Cardiff - Huddersfield game has evaporated with the news that Jordan Rhodes is out injured. Sigh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baddar Posted August 17, 2012 Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Ooh, Lineker is upping his game! Not the greatest first half from Cardiff. Norwood has come close twice for Huddersfield, but it's been corners that have caused the away side most trouble. Helguson hit the bar from one in the 45th minute, then Hudson headed over from another straight after. Everything to Bellamy is being played long, and he hasn't really been in the game, apart from causing problems with his corner delivery. I fully expect Cardiff to go on and win this, but Huddersfield are defending really well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Lineker Posted August 17, 2012 Author Admin Report Share Posted August 17, 2012 Looks like Cardiff have nicked it right at the end through Mark Hudson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 Minutes cheering at Elland Road, is Ken Bates dead? We do it at the first home game of every season, it's for the Yorkshire Regiment I think. I missed most of the game because I had my head in the toilet but we seemed to play alright and a win's a win! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IAceI Posted August 18, 2012 Report Share Posted August 18, 2012 How come Elland Road seemed so empty today Matt? I figured they'd usually have really good attendances but there were swathes of empty seats. Someone actually tapped me on the should in the pub I was in and asked me why, despite the fact I wasn't watching and had my back to the TV. Is that a regular attendance? Admittedly I don't watch a great deal of Leeds, just assumed they'd always have a very full stadium for most matches - especially the first match of the season. Good 1-1 draw for Carlisle away at Stevenage in the first game of the season. Who needs Zoko, eh? Matty Robson the scorer for Carlisle I think, which means he's done his good deed for the season and can go back to being a liability for the whole season. Although I doubt I'll go to any matches this season, £20 per match and I'm trying to save so not really viable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I can enjoy football again! A comfortable 3-0 win, away from home no less, some great goals and a great performance to go with it. The weather was hot and sunny, and everyone was in a great mood. It's been a long time since all these things happened at the Rovers! David Cotterill scoring from the halfway line was hilarious as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I don't watch a great deal of Leeds, just assumed they'd always have a very full stadium for most matches - especially the first match of the season. Several reasons: 1) It was on TV. 2) The top of the East Stand is only open to ST holders unless the match is likely to be a sellout. 3) The opening game is always relatively low. 4) And most importantly, a lot of people are refusing to give Bates any more money. And despite all that, we still got the third highest attendance in the league yesterday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Thought Leeds looked good yesterday, was a really good goal you scored too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IAceI Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 I didn't suggest that Leeds had bad attendances, only that it seemed Elland Road was rather empty when I always assume it would be packed nearly every match. As I say, I don't watch them much so it could always be like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 It doesn't help that the East Stand faces the camera and that's the biggest stand which is usually fairly empty due to the fact that the top is ST only and the bottom half is members only and really expensive tickets. But yeah, there were 15,000 empty seats yesterday and most of them were in camera view :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 Is Lineker still going to do a goal of the month poll this season? Either way, we already have a chief candidate: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Posted August 19, 2012 Report Share Posted August 19, 2012 That's a cracking solo effort to be fair, but Becchio's goal on Saturday was a great example of perfect long ball football. 4 touches: Paddy Kenny to McCormack on the wing, McCormack controls the ball on the run with the outside of his foot, left footed cross and onto Becchio's diving header.
