Sheffield Wednesday 2 Leeds United 0

Former Celtic striker Gary Hooper scored twice but he's unlikely to score an easier brace. His first on forty seven minutes was a tap in from a matter of inches after a goalmouth scramble. The goal came from a corner that was needlessly conceded by goalkeeper Marco Silvestri. Worse was to come three minutes later when Silvestri failed to hold a shot from twenty five yards that bounced in front of him and Hooper once more tapped in from six yards.

The victory for The Owels was just their second in the last eight meetings between the two sides and now sees them winless in their last five league games. Leeds had a goal disallowed by referee Anthony Taylor who at first allowed the goal to stand but following discussions with the fourth official over a substitution that was not completed when the free… Read more

Ipswich Town 2 Leeds United 1

A Brett Pitman injury-time winner won it for The Tractor Boys and inflicted more misery on Steve Evans boys. Having got off to a dream start after just 12 seconds of the match as Souleymane Doukara shot home from close range. This was as good as it got for Leeds as after fifteen minutes it was all Ipswich though they had to wait until the second half to equalise.

On fifty minutes Luke Chambers met Ryan Fraser's cross to head a deserved equaliser. Just as it was looking as if Leeds would hold out for a point Fraser inch-perfect centre was headed home in the ninety second minute by Pitman to steal all three points for Mick McCarthy's team. As Steve Evans said in his after match interview :"It demonstrated to me that we need to bring some more quality into the football club and… Read more

Leeds United 1 MKD Dons 1

Ex LLeeds United striker Noel Whelan described it as one of the worst performances he saw from a Leeds team in a game we had not a shot on goal and escaped with a point thanks to an own goal. And Cellino may have a point re showing Sky Sports games as there were 1,200 more at this game than for the mouth watering Derby encounter.

MK Dons have never won at Elland Road and in truth they will never get a better chance after a stirring performance that warranted all three points. They took the lead on thirty minutes when Rob Hall put the visitors in front after Nicky Maynard's ball in from the right.Maynard then could have made it 2-0 but his shot was well saved by Marco Silvestri.Another goal then and a drubbing was on the cards for Leeds as they couldn't… Read more

Leeds United 2 Derby County 2

The pre-match build-up was dominated by Leeds refusal to allow the Sky TV cameras into the ground but at 3 pm they relented after the threat of a disrepute charge from the FA that could have lead to a points deduction. Ant The Whites didnt get off to the best of starts when
Derby took the lead through Republic Of Ireland International Jeff Hendrick who dribbled passed two defenders including nutmegging Sol Bamba to score on thirteen minutes.

Bamba redeemed himself on forty one minutes heading in an equaliser following a Stuart Dallas crosses that was miss punched by the Derby keeper. This seemed to spurs Leeds on and on seventy one minutes Chris Wood headed in a right wing cross from transfer seeking Sam Byram.However seven minutes later substitute Tom Ince secured a point for the Rams when he rounded Bamba with easy and… Read more

Nottingham Forest 1 Leeds United 1

Sky Sports must have been happy with this televised Championship game where there were plenty of chances from both sises with one disastrous goal and a cracker from Sam Byram to grab Leeds a deserved share of the spoils in a game they dominated on the possession stats ( 61 per cent to the away side). Disaster struck on 17th minutes for Leeds when Nelson Oliveira took advantage of a mix-up in the Leeds defence between Bellusci and goalkeeper Silvestri to give Forest the lead.

Sam Byram who looks set to leave the club next month hit a cracking equaliser from 25 yards to score with Leeds first shot on target on 80 minutes.The Whites dominated possession throughout but were poor in front of goal until Byram's strike while Forest sub Oliver Burke hit the post in the 90th minute and Chris Woods and… Read more

Christmas is upon us with a New Year on the way and all us Leeds fans have endured another torrid year of upheaval, sackings,tax problems and player discontent not to mind an eccentric owner. However at this stage it wouldn't be the same at Elland Road unless there was controversy and sure after two wins in our last two games we are all looking forward to the Forest game on St Stephen's Day.

On behalf of the committee of Ennislusc I would like to wish each and every one of our members, their families and friends a happy and peaceful Christmas. Marching On Together

Leeds United 1 Preston North End 0

Leeds registered their third win in four games as they beat 10-man Preston. The Lilywhites whose manager Simon Grayson was returning to Elland Road for the first time since being sacked by Leeds in February 2012 started very brightly and forced home goalkeeper Silvestri in three fine saves in the opening 10 minutes as Paul Gallagher, Will Keane and Joe Garner all went close.

Then the game changed dramatically when referee Gavin Ward sent off Preston goalkeeper Jordan Pickford after he was adjudged to have handled outside his penalty area after 30 minutes. Chris Woods was chasing down on him but on replay it looked very harsh as the ball seemed to hit the upper part of his chest near his left shoulder. It gave the incentive to Leeds but they looked very sluggish after their Thursday night endeavors.

Less than a minute after half-time Leeds… Read more

Wolverhampton Wanderers 2 Leeds United 3

Leeds produced a brilliant fightback to beat Wolves and propel themselves up to 14th in the Championship. Against the run of play Benik Afobe slotted the hosts ahead on ten minutes before Sam Byram wh was restored to the starting eleven equalised just before half-time. Then on 51 minutes Stuart Dallas put Leeds ahead when his powerful volley from twenty yards beat Carl Ikeme at the near post. The keeper will be a bit disappointed as he got a hand to it but it was too powerfully stuck to keep it out.

Then transfer listed Byram who is refusing to sign a new contract added his second on sixty minutes when Charlie Taylor's left-wing cross hit his shoulder and looped in. It was all Leeds now and they looked to be comfortable before Nathan Byrne steered home a superb effort on 81 minutes. This… Read more

Charlton Athletic 0 Leeds United 0

In what will go down as a dreary draw neither side can complain with a share of the spoils as bath had clear cut chances to claim the three pints. The draw allows Charlton Athletic to move out of the Championship's bottom three and insured Leeds have collected 10 points in their six matches under new boss Steve Evans. However The Whites are now 18th in the table and struggling to score.

Ademola Lookman's shot bounced along the line for The Addicks while Leeds keeper Marco Silvestri's stunning save denied Ricardo Vaz Te when clean through. Leeds created little but Tom Adeyemi missed a late sitter from six yards dragging his shot wide.

Leeds United 2 Hull City 1

On the day of the infamous pie strike where a small majority of Leeds fans walked out of the stadium in protest over the imposition of an extra £5 on ticket prices (to include a pie plus a drink) in the East Stand it was ironic that the first eleven put in their best performance of the season especially in the opening half.This was their second home league win of the season and against promotion hopefuls Hull City.

Chris Wood put United ahead on thirty minutes from close range with a excellent finish from Stuart Dallas's left wing cross. Then youngster Alex Mowatt's shot hit the bar before Spurs loanee Tom Adeyemi slammed in a shot to double the lead on the stroke of half time. Ahmed Elmohamady headed in from close range on fifty one minutes for Hull and then it was game on.… Read more

Queens Park Rangers 1 Leeds United 0

When your better half tells you Leeds were dire the The R's could have won 4-0 you sit up and listen.This only compounds what our fellow members who were over at Elland Road last weekend said that we are in serious trouble and could conceivable be relegated such is our pathetic form. We are four points outside the bottom three and to borrow a phrase from the great Pat Spillane playing puke football.

Charlie Austin came off the bench and scored with his first touch and give ex Leeds manager Neil Warnock his first win as QPR's interim manager.
Austin headed in his eighth league goal of the season from a corner on 58 minutes in a game dominated by The R's.Leeds goalkeeper Marco Silvestri made several important saves from Austin and Tjaronn Chery to keep it at 1-0. Leeds winger Stuart Dallas… Read more

Leeds United 0 Rotherham United 1

The Ennislusc trip to Elland Road turned out to be a disaster of a game but as always the boys had a great weekend in Leeds. It got even better on the journey home from Dublin Airport when they stopped in Nenagh for a sociable drink to break the journey. With a bookies next door to the pub some of our punting experts noticed a horse named St Dominick running in Exeter and backed him in honour of fellow Ennislusc member Dom O Rourke. The horse skated home by ten lengths at odds of 9/2 with all the lads on and the cheers brought the house down.

Bach to the game, the less said the better. As Nuggy said in a text it was pure s--t which says it all. Rotherham boss Neil Redfearn won on his return to former club Leeds as his struggling… Read more

It's all systems to for the first Ennnislusc trip to Elland Road where the The Whites will take on Rotherham and endeavoring to complete three wins in a row which will be awesome considering the season we are having. It's ironic that when theses twu teams met in the last game of the season Steve Evans was the Rotherham manager and Neil Redfearn was the Leeds manager and now the roles are reversed, says it all about the turmoil at Elland Road.

This won't bother the hardy souls of Ennislusc who have been planning this trip for months and credit to Kevin Barry for organising the return bus to Dublin Airport and to Nugs for sorting the accommodation. Kevin reckons the will be in The Clayton Hotel ( formerly Bewley's) for Happy Hour on Friday evening and no dount Peter Lormier's bar will get a visit. Incidentally John Galvin Tommy… Read more

After nearly two years of heartbreak where our good colleague and Leeds fanatic Alan Murphy tore his Achilles tendon in a charity soccer match in the Fairgreen and as a result lost his job things have taken a turn for the better. On Monday next Alan will start a new job with the HSE in St Josephs Hospital Ennis and all his friends in Ennislusc would like to wish him well in his new role. The patients will benefit hugely from Alan's sense of humour and kindness and for sure they will all know about Leeds United. Good Luck from all at Ennislusc , Alan.

Huddersfield Town 0 Leeds United 3

One can't always read into stats and in this case where The Terriers had sixty three per cent possession and nineteen shots on goal this was certainly true as Leeds ran out comfortable winners in this Yorkshire derby.

It is now back-to-back wins in the Championship for Leeds and a great start to life as manager for Steve Evans five games in charge. After a dire first-half Leeds took the lead in stoppage when Mirco Antenucci poked United in front from six yards. The ball was hardly kicked off when Leeds doubled their lead in the sixth minute of injury time when Chris Wood slotted home. The reason for all the stoppage time was due to a clash of heads between Liam Cooper and Scott Wootton with Cooper being stretchered off to hospital.

For the second time in five days Alex Mowatt struck a stunning long-range… Read more

Today the legend John Giles celebrates his 75th birthday and how we would love to have his likes still playing at Elland Road. As we all know John has been very loyal to our club coming down to the Mike Mac Golf Classic on three consecutive years and making many friends in the process. The club sent him a text and card from all the members to celebrate this milestone and typical of the man he rang today to pass on his thanks to everyone for their good wishes. Enjoy the day John and we hope to see you down in Ennis in the New Year. Marching On Together

Leeds United 0 Blackburn Rovers 2

Just when the loyal Leeds faithful thought it couldn't get any worse they were treated to what can only be described as the most inept display ever from a home team on the hallow field of Elland Road. New manager Steve Evans was expecting to over see a first home win since last March,a run of 11 home league games without a win but he was sadly mistaken.

Going a goal behind after 17 seconds left the home crowd in shock but five minutes later they were two behind and the game was a but over.Early goals from Craig Conway and Jordan Rhodes helped Blackburn beat fellow strugglers Leeds at Elland Road.

Conway put Blackburn in front after 17 seconds, firing Chris Taylor's cross into the bottom corner after being left unmarked at the back post.Jordan Rhodes doubled the lead on six minutes as he… Read more

Bolton Wanderers 1 Leeds United 1

Mirco Antenucci's penalty on 71 minutes helped Leeds earn a draw at 10-man Bolton and left Steve Evans frustrated at not earning the three points. Shola Ameobi who only signed on loan with Bolton on Friday gave the Trotters the lead as he volleyed in Jose Casado's corner on 32 minutes. Earlier Tom Adeyemi hit the post for Leeds but it was Bolton who dominated in a poor first half.

Neil Lennon's side who are routed to the bottom of the table were punished after Prince Gouano was shown red for fouling Antenucci in the box and he scored the resultant spot kick. Despite dominating the remaining twenty minutes Leeds failed to break down a stubborn Bolton defence. Along with waiting for his first win Steve Evans is also looking for his sides first goal from open play since he took over as both Leeds… Read more

Fulham 1 Leeds United 1

Steve Evans began his managerial reign at Leeds United with a well deserved draw as Chris Wood's second-half penalty secured a point at Craven Cottage. Leeds sixth manager in 18 months can feel well disappointed as United dominated the game but found Fulham's keeper Joe Lewis in tremendous form gaining him the Man Of Match Award.

Moussa Dembele gave Fulham the lead on 23 minutes against the run of play with a superb solo effort. However he became the villain on 64 minutes when he handled in the area following a corner and Chris Wood's scored from the spot. Indeed Lewis got his hand to the kick and can feel very unlucky not to have kept it out.

At least it stopped the rot after three successive defeats and from the fans point of view Evans played a very positive 4-4-2 formation with Woods and… Read more

And so the merry go round starts once again at Leeds and we are the laughing stock of the football league once again. Owner Massimo Cellino seeks his sixth manager since he took over in April last year following the departure of Brian McDermott, Dave Hockaday, Darko Milanic and Neil Redfearn. Rosler was relieved of his duties today after recording just two wins in 11 league matches since his appointment in the summer.

Scotsman Steve Evans is the favourite to take charge as he took training at Torp Arch this morning. He is the ex Rotherham boss who appeared at Elland Road for the last game of the season in a sombrero, shorts and flip flops following a bet he made once his team avoided relegation to League 1.He is an outspoken boss who will need all his guile if he's to have any say with Cellinio. I don't think you… Read more
