I will be heading back to Oz with no regrets about missing the next couple of games, and if you guys have to sit through this standard of football each week you have my upmost sympathy. My hometown Perth Glory would of given this Leeds team a lesson in passing and possession. All you who were booing, Shut the F*** up, yes we can all be critical of our team but when the team are on the pitch get behind the lads. Why Beckford is the main target I don't know, he put in more effort than most of the others. So many balls kicked out of play, so many misplaced passes, so little harassing, no fluidity, no midfield, no attack, no defense. The singing of songs extolling the great team of the 60/70s was great for oldfarts like me but its sad to be praising the team of 40 odd years ago and ignoring and booing the team of today. High point was their goalies warm up at the beginning of 2nd half, and being able to stand throughout the game. I might not get to Elland Road again, and this would be a bad game to remember as my last live one. But no matter what I will always support my Leeds.
