The Blunts seem confident about signing O'Hare. I was hoping we might get him but it doesn't look like it. Disappointing.

Right here we go…. Why is Sky News dominating their news program with the England team sat on runway waiting to get off the plane?, cameras, interviews and cheers forthcoming, Why?
We lost and as Baz said earlier in a post, England were lucky, very lucky to get that far!
Those players got to a final, and after riding their luck throughout they should have gone all out for this, maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity, but they bottled it, Southgate bottled it!
It’s ok saying Spain were better, even though they were, they shouldn’t have been! England are and have been frightened to go for a win for the fear of losing, it is so annoying to watch, how many times are we going to do this to ourselves, how many chances do we need before the penny drops?, is it not better going for it from the off?, is it not better to lose 3-0 while playing brilliant instead of losing 2-1 playing the negative game we do?,
Stop congratulating failure, right from grass roots, STOP IT! I went to my grandsons sports day and I was astonished, firstly I was asked not to shout out to him!, I shouted come on mate you are doing really well, one last push!, then I said the taboo word, you can WIN this mate come on!, Mr Wood, there are no winners or losers at this sports day in any competition so please stop shouting encouragement and promoting that a winning mentality is the be all and end all! In response I asked why there were trophies, she replied, they are for everyone to share! , what is it coming to?
So now I totally understand why we don’t win anything, it seems it’s ok to come last, second, third etc etc!
Losing has no place in my life, you celebrate winning not losing, I know I’m probably wrong in a lot of your eyes and I’m sorry if you think that, but next time we lose, look at yesteryear’s winners and todays losers, Baz and George will wholeheartedly tell you the difference between them! .
Sorry for the rant, and I’m sorry if I’ve upset anyone with this, it is just my opinion ? ??.

A very ? good and fair post Woody.
Home schooling ? seems more and more preferable to the current "educators" that exist in some parts of this world
Big sigh ?.

Only thing I disagree with in that rant Woody, is Southgate bottling it.
Rest is spot on! Play to win, compete to win. If that isn’t the objective, then don’t bother turning up!

Hope gate goes south for all I care.

Well said Brighty, the Southgate comment was out of frustration mate, you’re right he didn’t bottle it but his naivety in turning games around and changing things did cost us, but hey ho it’s done now, it’s down to Leeds United to make us smile again so bring on the new season. Good comments Baz and I totally agree, thanks fella's. ??.

Signing for Sheff over Leeds is ? mental decision.
15 Jul 2024 20:34:18
We don't know Leeds were in for him though Dill. We probably weren't with Aaronson returning.
15 Jul 2024 21:09:36
Totally agree Dilli ?.
15 Jul 2024 21:16:07
And you'd have right on your side, Woody ?.
15 Jul 2024 21:17:55
Dill were Leeds United actually in for OHare?
Blunts offering more wages than Leeds?
OHare on a free is a pretty good signing even with him having previous serious injury issues.

Southgoat is more of a politician than a manager. His we miss KP comments illustrate there was no passing QB in the team yet Rice and Bellingham are supposed to be £100M footballers. He should have played 3-5-2 for the final, concentrated on our own strengths and played Toney and Watkins up front instead of the injured statue. His style of play decent enough against an inferior opponent but you almost always play a very good side in a final which is why we lost.

Under 4 weeks to start of Champo campaign.
It's looking like a bumpy ride start of season again with team squad line up uncertain / NOT sorted again
AND
Anyone truly believe Summerville AND/ OR Gnonto will stay at LUFC this season?
15 Jul 2024 21:27:13
Weren’t there some rumours that O’Hare didn’t pass Leicester medical, leading to some other interest in the player waning? Whatever the truth or otherwise of those rumours it seems hard to believe that if Leeds were genuinely still interested in the lad, we wouldn’t have been able to persuade him to come to us over the Blades.
15 Jul 2024 22:26:19
Were Leeds actually looking to sign OHare?
15 Jul 2024 22:40:42
Only know as much as you guys. Several reports about Leeds interest, but who really knows ?♂️ cracking player so a shame he's going there.
That's Keiffer Moore and O'Hare now. Be good if we can get Bogle and at least weaken a rival in that area.
