How to stop Leeds Front Men Scoring

Well so far this season Leeds have been brilliant and our Front Men Jermaine Beckford and Tresor Kandol have been almost unstoppable scoring goals for fun. We have made a mockery of the fifteen points we were docked at the start winning our opening 7 matches to equal the Clubs best ever start to a season.

Well the run had to end somewhere but today was sickening the way it happend. Away at Gillingham we started really well taking the lead through winger Seb Carole (pictured below) and were cruising. But this is Leeds United and the referee decided he would even the Match up a bit by sending off Kandol. We still kept playing well and controlling the game so he decided to send off Beckford as well, but not before he had two goals disallowed, we played the last 30 minutes two men short and with the referee helping them it was a bit like the Alamo.

The players played brilliantly fighting for everything again with fantastic vocal support from our army of travelling fans but disaster struck in the final minutes of the game with Gillingham equalising, we did hang on for the draw wish is a great result in such circumstances. Even reporters on the TV said the referee was diabolical and they don't normally stick up for Leeds.

The above fans view short clip gives an incite to what our travelling fans thought first they cheer off our heroes then let the ref know there feelings as he leaves the field under a police escort for his own protection.

At least we still haven't been beaten, we will still win this league. At present we are 20th in the table but after only 8 matches and giving 15 points start its amazing we are off the bottom and out of the relegation zone. Without the penalty we would be three points clear at the top, thats the real league table.

This week Leeds appeal against the 15 points to the FA was ignored, they will not interfere with a Football League management decision, its never bothered them before. Leeds Coach Gus Poyet was this week charged by the same FA over comments he made about a previous referee. Is all this just a conspiracy, something smells about everything that is going on.

On another note I've a Table Tennis Match tomorrow afternoon its my first match following my vacation and I need the exercise, I haven't weighed but I feel fat, I'm sure I've put a fair bit on.
I'll be representing York against Wakefield in the Yorkshire League so I could have some hard games.
I've two matches in the York league coming up this week Tuesday is our scheduled fixture and I think we will have a rearranged match Thursday.

Last night following work I went out for a few drinks with some of the people who left yesterday, they were the remaining ones from the previous redundancies. We maybe off out for a meal on Wednesday but not sure it definate yet.

In my last post I mentioned blog friend Rachel and I'll just say that she has been in touch, we've exchanged a number of emails and everything is ok between us. She has had a very tough time and reached rock bottom in her life but a few things are now starting to look brighter, for one she should be starting a new job Monday which she really needs.
She will be back blogging eventually with a new blog but at present she does not have internet access at home, she is walking to the local library to email. Wish her luck cos she is rebuilding her life from scratch, I'll be supporting her as much as I can.
