One of those days...

Early beers in Victoria, usual faces and a rare apperence from Paul from Colchester.

Train to Medway, got off at Rochester to try and find a taxi, accidently bump into "Half" from MOT + ETL so get a free lift to "The Ash Tree Inn" which whilst not to write home about did sell a decent "Sweet Chariot". Meet up with NLAG, Pikey and an old sparing partner "Cockney White".

After a few beers long walk to ground, just in time.

Until the idiot ref intervined it was like watching a cup tie, we the decent level club, Gillingham the plie of poo., They had nothing!! Kandol did fuck all wrong in my opinion, same with Beckford first booking (how the hell does the ref know he's heard the whistle!!) and the second, well hardly a foul and he was doing notyhing until the Gills players howled at him, c**t IMHO, pure c**t.

If I have one criticsm it was the use of Carole then Weston as lone forwards when we needed a taller player to try and hold the ball up. Apart from that thought we battled well.

Like every decent thinking Leeds fan I stayed long enough to boo the ref off (of course I don't condone missle throwing but the sight of the shower heading for him as he got to the tunnel was funny.

train backed to Victoria, more beers after watching Colchester Paul chatting up women in his own style on the train and in the station, left him at it.

A point isn't the worst result although they are one of the poorest teams we have played. The pressure is now off in terms of records, a draw at Oldham wouldn't be a bad result either given its Flo and Ameobi up front.

Some Leeds Fans threw some missiles.

Glad to have put that straight Wink

Like Greeny i wouldnt normally condone such a thing but you had to have seen it to beleive it. The ref was unadulterated rubbish. Not just the sendings off he simpy is not fit to referee. Straight from the kick off you could see he wanted to stamp his, ahem authority onto the game and establish himself. Which he did as an absolute cock end

I too don't condone the throwing of missiles at players or officals but that twat deserved it yesterday. We started the day with a few sherberts in Gravesend and managed to get a quick pint in Gillingham. Good to see you at half time Milt Wink
