Title: Villa v Leeds
Post by: Campsall rover on December 23, 2018, 03:29:39 pm
I know all you Leeds haters won’t be happy but what a fantastic advert for Championship football that match was. Two teams going flat out for victory for 95 mins. Hope Rovers are playing at that level next season. Looking forward to going to Villa Park again. Don’t think we will be visiting Elland Road as I think this is their year and will go up automatically.

Still hoping they will implode at some point and turn on themselves. Failing that some cruel concoction of results on final day puts them in the play offs which they then lose on a disputed last minute penalty decision.

I would have thought that yesterday would put you off last minute goals.☹️

  Paul, a good game to watch because both defences were dire, especially the Villa, on the day they were not as organised as us, and to give a goal away from a throw in 90 yards from your goal, well very poor.
 On that showing I will be very surprised if any of those teams get automatic promotion.
   Leeds were definitely the fitter of the two teams.

Leeds looked very good, and have done all season. I think they’ll get auto promotion at a canter

I went to it. Decent game. Decent atmosphere as well. We’ve got to be hoping to get promoted to the championship to going to places like that away from home. Best league in the world currently I think.

Did sky show the world’s worst pitch invader?

No Padge, but I would lay money that the winning goal would not have been scored against Oxford, they would have kicked someone off their feet in their own half at that stage of the game, they may even not have got the ball to take the throw in.  That goal was amateurish.

... AND the opposition Player takes it - hits the left Post then the right Post and then hits the Keeper on the back and rolls over the Line. Usually that is my Man U dream but it works for "them" as well !

Some people accept that more people support Leeds from Donny than support Rovers better than others.
Cannot see them not going up, what other 2 teams will stay consistent enough?

Thing it’s not good for DRFC it just means even more Leeds fans from Donny and kids potentially choosing them over us

There's no answer to that Padge but it must happen all over the country, if DR plays well the crowds will come, and they are playing well in a new stadium with a great management team.

Got to agree with you - it's a fact of life. They are a bigger Club by a long way than most of their competition in The Championship and eventually a perfect storm will see them up

People (like me I have to say) who dislike them with a passion should prepare for the inevitable. I was hoping that Bielsa would go to Man U but that is probably unlikely - and so "they" seem to be going to do it this time

Post by: Chris Black come back on December 24, 2018, 08:53:45 am
My secondary scenario is that they do unfortunately go up this season, but more pleasingly they spend next season getting humiliated, game in, game out, finishing with some record low points total.

Post by: IDM on December 24, 2018, 08:57:16 am
Like many I take some pleasure when Leeds fail - how the mighty have fallen etc - but they are a club that could and probably should be a premier league mainstay..

As for local kids following other teams, with sky coverage these days how many claim
To support Chelsea, Man City, Liverpool etc..

Family, friends, and results on the pitch will be where we get more supporter numbers..

Anyway, it’s christmas eve..

Happy Christmas everyone.!

A "perfect storm" is not a good thing, so yes I certainly hope Leeds experience one this season!

Merry Christmas rovers fans!!

All I put was on the Villa v Leeds thread was what a great game it was with two teams going flat out for a win for 95 mins.
I didn’t realise it would start a barrage of hate replies about Leeds.
You complain about Leeds fans being abusive. Some of the comments on here are exactly that. To be honest I think it is quite pathetic.
Just concentrate on supporting Rovers and don’t let Leeds having a bit of success spoil your Christmas.

I'm Rovers through and through, but would like to see another Yorkshire club in the premier league, and Leeds look good enough to do it.

   The owner is in financial trouble, and is saying he would sell out part of the club to the fans. Another couple of seasons like the Wednesday losing pots of money wont  hurt them.
 Let them stay where they are.

Post by: dickos1 on December 24, 2018, 03:56:55 pm
Wednesday have just overspent, so theyve lost money but it’s been their choice to spend it.

seem to remember the owner of that other club in the $chitty being in financial trouble (spaghetti junction style inter-related companies - i call it domino companies) was it ten years ago and the phrase "prince with no money being banded about"

the owner would have spent a hell of a lot more money but he respected fair play rules -even though he got hit  with the ban

whist a certain relocated club formerly on the south coast thought to hell and went for broke

on the subject of Leeds if they make the premiership there will be good loanees to come here --
i am sure a lot more loanees come from Leeds -than the Sheffield clubs put together -over the last few years.

We have had plenty of players come to Rovers from Leeds over the years, including one we have now. We also had one of our most popular managers who was a Leeds United legend. Don’t remember any one complaining about us getting ex Leeds people coming to Doncaster. So what is the problem.

Yes I think your right hound. But it is a minority. Most Leeds fans are like all other clubs fans.
As is normal in society it is the ugly minority that is heard most, not unfortunately the sensible majority.

No doubting that.
They do seem to have more of the gobby type though than other clubs have.
Of all the clubs we have played over recent years, they seem to be the one who give us the least respect.

I guess I see it as a cancer eating away at our fan base. There are 72 teams in the football league, one I genuinely care about (and it not Leeds). We dont have threads about other teams all the time, just the one. It's Viking Chat, the 'other football related stuff' surely is there to cover wider issues that are relevant to Doncaster, say announcements by the FA, fixtures that might affect our progress, bans, perhaps actions taken by other clubs in our own division. This obsession with Leeds is boring at best, counter productive at worst. Do they have a thread running about our game last weekend on WACCOE? Of course not. Why should they? And why should we?

Its not even closeted at this point, seems to have a real problem with any form of criticism of Leeds.

There's a lot of tribalism involved which is fine but if any other club becomes a topic of interest on this forum it's not unusual for someone to post (insert club name of choice)  xxxxxxscum, which is a bit silly when you think about it, whoever they are they are just another football club with a fan base.

All I said was what a great game it was and a fantastic advert for the Championship.
I was not starting a thread about Leeds United. Everybody else seems to have done that with follow on posts.
It could have been any two teams playing. It just happened that Leeds was one of them in this match.
The obsession with Leeds is not mine, but it seems every time they are mentioned it creates a barrage of anti Leeds posts. Whose problem is that.

As I have said previously I have been to plenty of Leeds games, nothing wrong with supporting a couple of clubs, on another note it is quite common for overseas supporters to support their local club + one from English or other league.. I would have liked to watch that Leeds game, and as threads go it's up to the mods how the site is run. I am a member of an audio site with very strict protocols to maintain standards of information, if you can't verify what you say (apart from opinion) then it is wiped or you are warned about the rules. If the thread wanders off topic it is separated and a new thread is begun.
