It's a really good decision. It felt like a good decision at the time, and has done since because... paradoxically, because I was unsighted, and because it looked marginal, i felt the Ref must have been clear and convinced it hit the hand, and it felt like the player knew this. His reaction - in the moment, and in the lack of an appeal - was the tell. Also in keeping with the ref's decisiveness at other key points - bookings especially. I think the ref was very well-placed.

The only lino I've seen worse than that was the one on the dolman side

I think maybe this was the pitch the saints were on

It wasn't watered. It was hammering it down all day, stopped 20 minutes before kick off.

This game shows how much stronger Leeds are right now. As does pretty much every Leeds game. Very early on we looked comfortable with Southampton having the ball. They were doing neat triangles with their keeper outside the area. Fine by me. They never really got beyond that. This game shows how much stronger Leeds are right now.

Rather concede at the death when at least two goals up than immediately after half time...

You've answered your own question. Tanner so much better with McCrorie. He can get forward knowing the pass (forward) is on, or the space will open up with the run. Was particularly depressing seeing him trying to get forward with Weimann constantly drifting infield away from him, no pass, no space.

Point taken, I guess typically from the away fans; although the Jimmy Saville chant on Friday was pretty grim. And you're right, Ashton Gate is a nice place, it is sanitised in comparison. I prefer it that way.

Look at you all comfy in the Lansdown with your prawn sandwich

It's football innit? I don't think, trying to be objective, this was as bad as the Millwall game, or the Stoke game, or the Preston game, or Birmingham (h). In the file marked 'stinkers', this one is cauliflower soup. It's not rotting animal under the floor boards putrid death stench. That was Millwall.

I see him as honest, calm, articulate, intelligent. We see what we want to see I guess.

Agreed, he'd make the bench. Others might in time. And it's not that they're rubbish, agreed there, it's that Leeds are much better. Gray or Tanner? Summerville or Conway? No brainers.

Maybe "Leeds, you're just a reasonably sized city in Yorkshire" or maybe something with the phrase "you impish northern rotters"

We have missed maybe three games. For each of those games I transferred the tickets to someone else. They got cut price or free tickets if I was feeling generous for amazing average football and were totally happy. Some of this "big lad buys a kids' ST for their right leg" is patently overstated, and the obsession with kids tickets - the future fanbase - is also a bit OTT. People should just chill out and watch the game. We're not at the point where we sell out regularly. If hell freezes over and we become the new Brighton or something these issues will resolve themselves.
