Morning All, Two days til our trip to Donny and can't wait. No new injuries to report from international duties. Forsell and Vayrynen both started for Finland earning a goalless draw against Hungary. O'Dea was an unused sub and Keough did not make the 18 man squad for the Republic although White played all 90 minutes for there under 21's as they beat Liechtenstein 4-1. True or False 1) Elland Road's diamond shaped floodlights are the tallest in Europe? 2) The undersoil heating at ER consists of 59 miles of piping? 3) The pitch at Elland Road is one of the longest at 116 foot? 4) Leeds oldest ever outfield player was 46 years and 71 days old during his final match? 5) The East Stand has the largest cantilver stand in the world? 6) The fastest a football has ever been struck was timed at 83 mph from Peter Lorimer? 7) In 1971, a gypsey was bought into ER by Don Revie to lift a curse that was suppose to be there? 8) Ken Bates is a ****er ? 9) The scratching shed got its name after 5000 fleas were released as part of an elaberate hoax? 10) Albert Jahannseson was the first plack player to play in an FA Cup final? Song of the day today, lets keep it Leeds :- [video=youtube;clbqTtcdTI8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=clbqTtcdTI8[/video]
On Q8, KB may not be that bad afterall. Apparently he's about to give Abramovic a hard time over his attempts to buy up all the shares of those Chelski fans who own the Bridge. Should be amusing to watch.
Mornin Boggers, hmmm, I'll reserve judgement on that one. On Question 5, Did you know that a cantilever is a beam anchored at only one end. The beam carries the load to the support where it is resisted by moment and shear stress.
All true apart from 3 and 9 I think that Doncasters is bigger or was anyway .Charles could hit a ball faster than Peter but he was never clocked I believe
Not sure if it still is, but this was the fatest shot ever hit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cSzwIBeihXA Watched it so many times and still can't pick the ball up, in real time, until it hits the back of the net.
Wrong unfortunately, do you remember Yeboahs goal v Liverpool, that one almost went through the net...
dON'T LIKE TO BE WRONG SO I WILL TRY AGAIN 1YES when built 2 yes 3 no Man CITY 4NO 5 yes WHEN BUILT 6 NO DAVID HIRST 7.Remember it well Revie was always very superstitous so Yes 8Most certainly a yes 9.No IT WAS BECAUSE IT WAS SO SMALL WE FELT LIKE SARDINES 10 yes Albert who was probably the most gentle man I have ever met he wouldn't say boo to a goose
Think you'll find that JFH hit the ball twice as hard as Lorrimer's effort [video=youtube;mPToYrDNcbI]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPToYrDNcbI&feature=related[/video]
