I agree with everything you say. The idiots ...Nic,<br />I agree with everything you say. The idiots who were slagging off Beckford, Grayson and Parker on radio Leeds made me mad but I suppose the one thing about football is that everyone has an opinion..............it's just that some peoples opinion's are more valued than others. The constant sniping at Beckford amazes me. how many other teams would want a 30+ goal striker in their team? Everyone. Problem is if he ironed some of his minor faults he'd be a 40+ striker.<br />And yes 1971 was the year i went to my first game!<br />Thanks for the comments and lets keep marching on together.<br />MOTAndrew Butterwickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04901721084209057107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958249806167287259.post-66146607014974524752009-05-15T13:07:00.000+01:002009-05-15T13:07:00.000+01:00Peter,

Even the ER games when I'm in the Family stand, it's been great to read the view from the Kop from someone who sounds like they've been following the Whites for at least as long as me (1971 in my case). There were some stupid things said on Radio Leeds last night but it sounds like yours was one of the voices of reason that I heard. Larry has been fantastic for us this season, many of our players have been immense (and they can all have off days, can't they), and it seems strange to hear people judging the huge achievements on the basis of one night's poor result (it was only the result that was poor, not the performance). Beckford will be low for a while after the penalty and his work rate can be frustrating to watch sometimes, but his goals have been essential to us this year. Let's hope Larry is able to deliver on his desire to retain the key players.<br />Already looking forward to following your blog through our automatic promotion campaign from August.<br />Enjoy your summer away from the keyboard.Nicnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4958249806167287259.post-54258854731551941892009-05-15T12:35:00.000+01:002009-05-15T12:35:00.000+01:00Hey MOT, you forgot the Irish in your world roundu...Hey MOT, you forgot the Irish in your world roundup!!! But you are forgiven, given the circumstances. Gutted here but got that bad feeling after the first game last Saturday.<br /><br />If we can keep the squad together we will definitely go up next year. A good manager and team at long last, looking forward to next season already.<br /><br />Totally enjoyed reading your blog over the last few months and catching the goals. Wonderful job. Oh and saw you on TV last night with your blue and yellow afro, bad hair day huh, lol?? <br /><br />Jeez it would be much easier following Man U or Barca but not half as much fun.
