Fergie Jr saying it was 96th minute when we scored when 4 minutes were added on..it was 94 minutes and 38 seconds when we scored and it's a MINIMUM of 4 minutes, so it was all fine and dandy, MOT

Thanks to all peterboro fans who gave us great day yesterday !! when u scored equalizer and me and my son got called northern scum then oops 3-2 !! thanks again ! mot !!

I think his comments are laughable, especially when he says "But it's Leeds United, so it'll be ok" like we get an easy ride with referees. We're well known for being well treated, and being favored in matches aren't we! It's not like we're regularly down the bottom of the discipline table, or have the handle "Dirty Leeds" is it?!

The match finishes when the ref's watch get's to 90mins... end of!

Im from Leeds but moved to Peterborough and lived there for 15 years, a still a massive Leeds fan. I wouldnt take what Peterborough fans say to heart, the city is carp, the fans are carp and the stadiums carp!

I think Ferguson Junior should be looking at what Ferguson Senior gets away with, regarding extra time....lol!!

We scored in the 94th (and a bit minute) because we kept going till the whistle, not to the clock......

Manchester United Supporters Helpline 0161 616161

Or text lose to 6161 no clear sheet for hopeless lose if you have the skill

Agree Leeds winning comes first but Scum losing 6-1 at home to the 'noisy neighbours' is a close second!

History in it's making....

... apparently ManU are saving their best for the Aldershot game.... Ha Ha Ha Ha!!

When i was warming up saturday and someone told me leeds scored in the 95th minute it made my week but man utd losing 6-1 topped it off nicely.

I say play the boy Cairns in goal. Can he do any worse? All I know is Rabchoker should never be seen again wearing a Leeds United shirt...although ironically last time we had a really awful goalie we had quite a decent side I recall. Or is my memory slipping in my ripe old age? Can't remember us having a really bad goalkeeper since those days.

I think we've been quite lucky with goalkeepers in general, my own choice of best ever would have to be Martyn, but I think you are talking about a certain ?Welsh goalkeeper who could quite probably have missed a bus, let alone a train....lol??

Many people knocked David Harvey at that time, but he too was a decent keeper!


Mervin Day used to give me nightmares, the amount of time he'd spend up near the halfway line, but he probably felt lonely to be honest - ah, those were the days?

Goalkeeping memories, anyone??

Paul Robinson heading in a goal and Gary Sprake catching the ball in one hand and punching/knocking out the attacking player with the other before leaving the pitch - my dad says he did it a few times

Why not give him a go, might give Rachubka a kick up the backside in training. but just for one game to see how he does.

Stranger things have happened - Jolly green Giant Neville Southall turning out for Bradford v us that time!!

Is anyone out there interested in maths? This might grab your attention. Our average points per game over the first 6 games was 1.1. On that magnificent form we would have ended the season on 50 points. Our last 6 games have produced an average of 2.3 points per game. If our form dips slightly and we average only 2 points per game for the next 34 games we'll amass 89 points.

Now that's very interesting, think i might hang myself right now. What's the odds on that then.

You can make statistics say anything you want, most people think if you have ten red balls in a bag and one yellow, then the chance of pulling out a yellow ball is one in eleven?

..actually my answer is it's one in two....

because you either will pull out the yellow ball or you won't?

see what I mean?

You could try and forecast how many goals any player will score, on a given day, how many players will be booked (and how often a certain team will be beaten 6-1 at home lol?) but whats the point?

Get a life.......

Stop being so nasty to a fellow supporter, too much of that on here, Banter page remember.

As the writer of the original article I'd just like to say thanks for your entertaining participation. I agree that the stats are pointless. Let's just keep winning matches. Very nervous about Wednesday though!

Anyone at the game yesterday, how did Lloyd Sam do?

Set Clayton up for his goal and crossed it in for O'Dea to score so not bad

Turned the game for me. Brought some pace on the right that we had been lacking most of the first half and seemed to give connolly some much needed confidence.

Hopefully he will get more time on the pitch, the future is bright....

I think we have to get behind our secod string keeper. He has mad good savesand yes he has made a couple of costly errors. Noone is getting on Mccormacks back. He missed at least three chances at Ipswich which even with the white sending off could have got us a point. He missed an absolute sitter against Coventry whic would got us a win. He missed afew against Peterborogh which would have put the game out of their reach. Still because he has scored as well he hasn't a problem. Stopping them going in at the other end doesn't have the same effect so if you make mistake the fans are on your back. Mccormack has done well but he could have done a lot better. The goalkeeper needs the fans behind him just like they are with Ross.

We need to be behind EVERY player, win lose or draw, good play or mistakes.

I will go back to the Hull City game where Tom Lees scored an own goal in front of the kop and they didn't berate him in any way, and when he scored a near identical goal the other end gave him the biggest cheer going, what a boost to his self confidence that was!

Have faith, supporting Leeds has never been an easy ride, even back in the glory days, but why make it hard for/on ourselves??

Anybody would think we are bottom of the league ??
