    You be careful. The can’t cope with reality brigade will be lining up to take a swing..
    It’s good to read comments from those still going to games that actually understand what they are watching.
    Keep up the good work..

    We have a number that go to games that produce match reports that should start once upon a time and end and they all lived happily ever after. They deludedly think that by misrepresenting the pish played as something better than it is they are better supporters than those that see reality. They arnt, what they are is apologists for failure and are in some way culpable for the likes of Radellinos thinking they can scam the rest of us...

    Both Berardi & Dallas are always triers, lacked quality yesterday. Another reckless sending-off for Gaetano which has incurred a five match ban so now he his season is over

    We need to do better than these two & quite a few others if we want success

    Like he didn’t do it on purpose...
    Hopefully that’s him done for us.
    He was consistent and finished exactly as he started his tenure with us.

    I try to be rational & fair with my comments which can be very difficult with this Leeds team, one of the slowest, smallest, unfit, soft-belled bunch of players I've witnessed in my 55 years watching Leeds

    Your comments are spot on, more and more here are seeing it.
    Sadly a few invested belief that Rad was the answer and are reluctant to admit the obvious truth.

    got to agree we need better than him and Dallas.beradi gets too many sendings off and is not pacey.i like him for effort but looking at the squad and can't see many who i would class as first team shoe ins.
    we did not recruit a left back pre season that was any good can't count the pygmy as a footballer.so beradi ends up left and ayling injured and we are screwed.a team hoping for promotion needs cover for every position in defence and not just makeweights.vieira and forshaw only two in midfield i would keep.o'kane is hhopeless and lightweight and Phillips can't pass and is another reckless tackler.peacock farrell is not a top class keeper and not a starter for me.the german donkey can do one a.s.a.p .we need to set the bar so much higher because the fans who spend their hard earned money watched this second rate load of dross are the ones who need rewarding .how did lassoga get the name der bomber well i tell you we need an effing spitfire .

    Radz needs to change his thinking & get his act together. Our previous fruit case of a chairman Cellino left us with a team about three short of a decent outfit to be fair, Radz has wrecked all that good work & now we are a million miles away from being a top six side

    Right now I truly fear for next season

    I do, it's not being critical for the sake of it Ristac. It's an opinion of what I watched, I'm not saying I'm right and everyone else is wrong it's just my view. In the first 10-15 minutes Sunderland were ****ting themselves and were there for the taking. They soon came round to the realisation that we are as **** as them.we were exactly the same against Sheffield Wednesday when we played them home and away and probably a few more games this season. I guess we've all just got different expectations, I just expected us to be able to score a couple of goals against a team that's conceded 70 plus goals so far this season.

    I I don't know what the problem is at Leeds but something is fundamentally wrong because every team that is struggling or can't buy a win are guaranteed to turn things around when they play Leeds. Whatever happens between now and the end of the season I'll praise the team/player when they've performed but I'll also criticise when I don't think they have.
    I don't think I was the only one not happy with the performance yesterday did you hear the chorus of what the **** is going on ringing out from the cheese wedge / south stand. All about opinions mate and mine is no more right or wrong than any other fans/customers

    What’s bpf done wrong in your opinion? No 21 year old who’s Played a handful of games is going to be the finished article.

    Completely understand the view that we need a proven quality keeper to get promoted and maybe don’t have the luxury of giving a young lad experience to become that... but sounds like you’re writing him off when he’s been mom in several games.

    my whole post is about raising the bar he may make it i don't have a crystal ball but he is not what Leeds need next season.top class players for a top class crowd who will roar them on to greater heights.

    Watched match of the day last night and afterwards thought to myself. Thank f we are not going up.
    We are so far away from the quality of players needed it is unbelievable.
    That my friends is not opinion it is fact.

    I’m All for raising the bar... we lack the required quality in most positions. Reality is you rarely get top class players coming to the championship, you get guys on the way up or the way down. The successful sides pick well on the way up and get a few years out of those on the way down.

    We have to replace our average players with good ones. Would we be able to get a keeper better than bpf will prove to be next season? You might well be right by the way And i’d Like to see a proven quality keeper at the club with bpf challenging him.

    What’s he done wrong though in your opinion, or not well enough?

    Just the lesson of it being stupid to keep repeating the same mistakes and expecting different outcomes.
    The way out of this league is to get a decent coach and buy decent proven players and leave them to it. Without loads of pr bollix.
    If the product is decent the fans will see it and come to watch.

    We lost 4K Leeds fans yesterday compared to a week or so ago. That’s something like 50% of the none season ticket holders ( they get counted even if they don’t turn up}
    Break even for rad must be 29k if it was 25k for Cellino given how many discounted season tickets he flogged and the money squandered on increasing the wages for Ortas flops.

    Knowing full well that I am included in those you attempt to belittle, please allow me to respond with a couple of the facts you have omitted.

    I have known for a long time this team isn’t good enough but still love the buzz of ER, seeing a few mates and having quality time with my eldest. I try to be honest but like everyone else I have players I rate and players I don’t. It has been a struggle for a while and though Rads spent money in January (some said he wouldn’t <whistle>) it didn’t work and there is nothing more he can do until the summer.

    This brings me on to my main point. I can handle fair criticism after a poor performance but what I struggle with is people that never go writing the same negative stuff daily about players, the manager, Orta, Rads - to the point of taking the pi$$ out of the club, why, what will that ever achieve? Sure, there are guys on here that do go that are unhappy too but they just seem a bit more even handed with the negative stuff.

    Anyway, guess the best option is just don’t read it :emoticon-0148-yes: will pm you and Jammy about York

    Wasn’t including you.. the buzz of ER is all that’s left in the club so effectively hollowed out by Bates, Krasner, GFH, Haigh, Cellino and finally finished off by Rad..
    If you want to wear the hair shirt that’s your choice but I didn’t ask you to.
    Actually er is tired and flat compared to what it was. Away days are the only place where you find the passion these days.

    20 yrs ago that wouldn't have been a sending off. What pisses me off is the way their player jumps up as soon as Beradi get sent off. A bit off subject but way the **** don't refs start booking/sending off or give penos for shirt pulling. <ok>

    I used to love the KOP end and having a drink at HT, but a certain poster suggested the North stand was like a library and so I go to the South stand now. I don't have A pub anymore. The Peacock doesn't have my ales anymore so I only go there if there is a meet up. So it's normally the Salters, Whistestop. White hart or Weatherspoons in the station. <ok>
