    Good Morning Everyone


    Did you watch the footy last night?

    Do we, the tax payers deserve the right to be able to watch our home nation on terrestrial TV?

    I for one do have Sky, but not the Sports channels. The difference in price is horrendous, plus, during the year the price increases most months!

    Surely Sky and Virgin need to be better regulated?

    Thoughts?




    Was anybody else annoyed at the constant trumpet and drums during the England game?

    Do you think its patriotic, and it adds to the atmosphere of the game or should the ego maniacs be kicked out of the stadium placing their trumpet where the sun don't shine?

    There's only so much Atomic Kitten (Whole again) a man can take?




    Is it time the two Irelands put their differences behind them and became one team?

    Both teams were awful last night, but together they could be a force to be reckoned with?




    Academy defender Oliver Casey has signed his first professional deal at Elland Road.

    The 17yo has penned a deal until 2020.

    The young defender was a part of the impressive Under-18 side that won last season’s Professional Development League North.

    Good morning Matt & everyone

    My thoughts
    • Forgot the game was on last night
    • Don't have Sky
    • Spend enough money on football following Leeds all over the country
    • Can't be bothered with streams, majority are poor
    • International caps are handed out like confetti
    • All England games should be on terrestrial television
    • As Leeds fans sing "we don't need a drum, we're Leeds United we don't need a drum
    • No disrespect to the Irish but can you honestly see them uniting as a football nation?

    Morning all <ok>

    Uniting Ireland is what your mates in the EU are trying to do. Dont even go there because you will then start debates about GB instead of England/Wales etc. FIFA have been trying to do that for years.

    Have Sky but about to pull the plug on it and sick of them having most of the decent sport that was always free to air not long ago.

    Evening

    Nah paying homage to Rooney isn't a lifetime ambition of mine, besides the main match is tomorrow against South Korea

    Ireland plays as on in Rugby (Ref Milky) so I can't see why it isn't possible but isn't it a bit like saying England wouldn't be too bad if they could include Scottish and Welsh players?

    Morning all..

    I too forgot the football was on, I do pay for the full Sky Package, when I think how much it costs a year it’s a bit scary but if I compared that cost to what it would cost me to watch the Ryder Cup, a dozen Leeds games, Cricket, Rugby League, F1 it’s not bad value.

    Throw in Walking Dead, Game Of Thrones, Blacklist and the other half a dozen series I watch it really isn’t bad.

    Terrestrial TV is Abysmal, I can’t stand Eastenders, Coronation Street, Casualty, XFactor, The Chase, Love Island, Made In Chelsea, Only Way Essex, Hells Kitchen, Top Model, the umpteen do your house up programs, the umpteen antiques and money for old rope programs, Pointless, The One Show.... I really could go on a lot more...

    All those sports you mention used to be free on the BBC but gone now leaving fk all worth watching, yet we all have to pay for the garbage. I'm seriously thinking about not paying the license fee as soon as I can find a foolproof way of bypassing the BBC and having my tv shows on-line

    Morning all...I binned sky when they had their last price rise. I have now got a "modified" firestick which gets all the sky,BT sports and all the other premium sky channels, even with this, I couldn't be bothered with the England match, as I've said before, i dont see the point ofthese meaningless friendlies

    We’d probably take bale happily! It used to be a common pub conversation in the 80’s... Hanson, souness, dalglish, rush. If we went for a british lions i’d have taken lawrenson and Brady too.

    Might have been a World Cup in that lot.

    Good afternoon everyone.Izzy brown will now slowly attain match fitness he needs to be looked after so when he plays for the first team he does not struggle .
    He is just one player though and i admit not having seen much of his play .so is he a step up on what we have and is he a winger ?.
    I think these international breaks are dog **** and means more midweek games for fans to miss out on.
    Dont have sky myself would not get any value out of it and the price is a rip off.
