    Good Morning Everyone,

    Sam Byram has revealed how disappointed he was to miss out on playing in the FA Cup last weekend.

    Byram told Radio Leeds yesterday that he really wanted to play in the game, along with two of his fellow academy graduates.

    He said: "I was gutted. absolutely gutted when he pulled me to his office and he told me. But I understand his reasoning but if it was down to me I would have liked to play."

    Asked if Lewis Cook and Alex Mowatt felt the same way, he responded, "They were both the same."




    Giuseppe Bellusci's appeal v the FA charge of using racist language in an incident involving Norwich forward Cameron Jerome is due in today.

    Would anyone hasten a guess as to whether Guilty or Not guilty, and if Guilty what the punishment would be?




    Redders has admitted to the press that he fancies Becchio <yikes>

    He then refused to comment on Beckford!

    Could the Beckford / Becchio partnership make a come back?

    Would they still gel?

    5 years on, is it worth taking the risk? Could they still do a job for us?

    Fulham bought together Smith and McCormack, and that didn't work for them, but it did work for us!




    Going back to yesterdays debate about Chad Evans, I understand their is split opinion.

    Should a professional sportsman or woman be allowed to follow their particular field after being released from prison?

    Should a football team give him a break, or should he have to get a proper 9-5 job like the rest of us (or 7.30am -6.30pm for us hard working estate agents <wah>)

    Does it depend on the crime? If so, why is it not as bad if a drink driver knocks down and kills a loved one?

    Are there different level of rape?

    Should a young lady be able to go back to a footballers hotel room, and not expect to be hit on?

    Good morning, if Redfearn wants to partner Beckford and Becchio it shows he has run out of ideas or had very few to start with, they had their day and moment in history together and that time is well and truly past. Unless it is a rolling monthly contract we shouldn't go there.

    Yes in my opinion their should be two levels of rape, I have a strong feeling Ched will win his appeal. I read through a massive in depth article on all the facts last night and I can see both sides, lots of dubious moments.

    Morning ristac, would you rather have Hunt and Morison or Becchio and Beckford.

    If the B's are reasonably priced, then I'd hand them an 18 month contract.

    On Ched Evans, something does not smell quite right about it

    Morning all

    I will be starting to work out a new format for the MDT shortly, so we will at least have something for this weeks game! :D

    As for Beckford / Becchio, I really do get tired of having the same debate every single transfer window. If we are in the market for another striker, why not chose someone new. Both Beckford and Becchio would doubtless be disappointing when judged against the expectation that would be placed on them.

    Morning Elland, I think given our current situation and position I would invite the two B's to train for a week and take a look at fitness etc. I would possibly give them a rolling contract, I would also keep in the back of my mind what players will leave and who can shine in L1 should we sink down.

    The problem could be Cellino, if we lose our next 2 games will he keep faith with Redfearn, I can't see Cellino bringing in any of Redfearns targets although saying that I am guessing they both are under contract so it would be loans

    Morning all,

    Becchio would be a mistake, for reasons I've outlined elsewhere. Beckford is a new level of NOOOOO!!!!! If either was that good then they wouldn't be available. Neither gave done anything of note since they left the club. Either would be a mistake. Both would be a catastrophe.

    Of course there should be different levels of rape.

    I'm not sure how many on here know, but if you stagger home drunk, from a party, with your wife and have sex you could leave yourself open to be charged with rape at a later date if you have a major fallout and she says she was too drunk to agree at the time.

    Morning ristac,

    With Becchio, I reckon a dozen clubs would want to take Becchio.

    I agree.

    There's rape and there's drunken sex.
    You might regret the drunken sex the next day, but providing there was no date rape drug and you didn't say no and you were both drunk how can it be rape?

    Crikey, i'd never get any sex at all if the missus wasn't drunk <laugh>

    Good morning to Matt and co from a very blustery Cote De Bardsey
    Becchio and Beckford a big NO I have watched Beckford a few times when he played for town the only manager who could get any response from him his Grayson otherwise he has lkeft all other managers in despair
    We do need a big striker who can head a ball but someone who is younger than those 2
    We need a midfield general too along with a wingerthat is how I see it
    I will not put down in future what or who I thgink we should sign or write to the club with suggestion for fear they will think I am Chippy in disguise and have me locked up !

    Finally re Ched Evans lets make it clear, he has only served half his sentence any misdemeanour on his part and he will be locked up to serve the rest of his sentence which currently stands at at least 2 years .Supposing he signs for a club and gets into a fight with a fan etc which is very possible, does his new club do what Sheff U did and pay him for the reast of his contract'.This is very possible and so I think he will be ujnable to play for any club until that full sentence s has expired
