    Just 1 result would have done it and one we deserved to win,if we had beat Sheffield United would be 7 clear.

    As far as past results go and we all know we have created far more chances than any other club and if only 4 of those chances taken at the right time we would be unbeaten all season and be clear at the top. I blame Brexit

    I didn't realise that Toby Nye's mums Court case had been concluded.

    Stacey Worsley was given a two-year suspended sentence at Leeds Crown Court. The 32-year-old nurse, of Osmondthorpe, lost £140,000 on gambling websites between January 2, 2017, and March 30, 2018.

    Earlier this month, she pleaded guilty to fraud by abuse of position on the basis that £100,000 of that money was taken from the fund for Toby's potentially life-saving neuroblastoma treatment. Six-year-old Toby did receive the treatment, which was paid for by Leeds United FC's ring-fenced fund, but

    Judge Guy Kearl QC, the Recorder of Leeds, accepted that Worsley's actions were 'out of character' and she had endured 'difficult and testing times'.

    He said: "This was any parent’s worst nightmare.

    "During Toby’s illness, you became isolated from your family, unable to see them for long periods of time due to Toby being in isolation.

    "You were under enormous pressures and I have no doubt that all of this started as a result of you wanting to raise money for his treatment."

    He added: "The money was not taken and spent on any form of luxury for you or anyone else and I accept that you started to gamble in a desperate attempt to raise money so that your child could receive treatment.

    "You failed in that. . . and you started to chase your losses."



    Did the sentence fit the crime?

    She got away with it and should never have been sole trustee. Dont agree with the sentence at because it means nothing. She was hoping to win big and then put the money back.

    It can still be done lee one game at a time. We have three or four fit strikers now. Our defenders are fit too. We are stronger now than at any time this season.

    Sad sad case and I reckon the sentence was appropriate. She never went out and bought cars and holidays. When I was first diagnosed with Cancer I ended up on anti depression tablets just to come to terms with the treatments. She would have been in a much worse case than me because it was her baby. She should have been given meds to help her but wasnt...

    Assuming we and Norwich go up, which other club would you LIKE to see go up to the Prem?

    Personally Elland I really don't care who goes up with us(IF we do go up) because there aren't any teams that I like for one reason or another. Preston would have been the only side that I'd like to go up.<ok>

    Yes. Judge applying common sense to a very difficult situation.
