Leeds United 2 Bolton Wanderers 1

Outsise Elland Road before the game a Leeds fans group named "Time To Go Massimo" held a mock funeral complete with a coffin to mark "the death of the club" as a protest towards Cellino. This of course had little if any effect on Massimo but at least the players responded and got the three points for our first league victory since January.

Mirco Antenucci put Leeds in front on 39 minutes when he latched on to Mustapha Carayols corner and shot past keeper Paul Rachubka. Then on 62 minutes Mirco got his second when he curled into the far corner after his initial cross was blocked. Kaiyne Woolery gave Bolton hope on 74 minutes when hit the net from a Dean Moxey's cross but The Whites held on for a much needed win.

Brighton & Hove Albion 4 Leeds United 0

Four goals down after thirty eight minutes,the Chairman leaves at half time (who could blame him )and manager Steve Evans was not allowed to speak to the media after the game. Just another disastrous day in the life of LUFC. Assistant Manager Paul Raynor who met the media after the game summing it up as follows: "The first-half performance was shambolic. Our defending was atrocious and the manager is going to dissect it with the players. For the 1,522 Leeds supporters at the game, many who had a round trip of 520 miles it was soul destroying but true to form they sang their hearts out for the ninety minutes.

There is no need to dissect the game as it was probably the worst forty five minutes ever by a Leeds team and it beggars belief where we go from here. Sacking… Read more

FA CUP Fifth Round
Watford 1 Leeds United 0

After dominating the first forty five minutes despite not having a shot on goal Leeds looked comfortable against their Premiership opposition and everything augured well for the second half. However that all changed on fifty three minutes when ex Man United youngster Scott Wootton knocked an innocuous cross from The Hornets Man Of The Match Ben Watson inexplicably into his own net when under no pressure. Yes he was plaything out of position at right back but their ended Leeds dream of making the last eight for the first time since 2003.

The heads dropped for a while after this set back and indeed Leeds had only one shot on goal in the next forty minutes. Leeds have now only kept one clean sheet in their last 14 FA Cup games and failed to score in four of their last six FA… Read more

Leeds United 0 Middlesbrough 0

Before kick-off Leeds fans projected images on to one of the stands urging chairman Massimo Cellino to quit.One read Billy wouldn't accept this, why should we-Sell the club. This was in reference to Massimo Cellino 75 per cent stake in the club that he told the the Leeds Fans United supporters group he would sell to them in October but reneged a week later.

It was a game of few chances with Leeds best effort coming from a Souleymane Doukara header that was superbly saved by Boro keeper Konstantopoulos. Indeed Steve Evans called it the save of the season in his after match interview and Peter Begrie the Sky Sports commentator agree with his verdict. Jordan Rhodes, Boro's nine million pound signing from Blackburn missed a gold chance when clean through but shot straight at Silvestri.

On of the highlights on the night was the performance of… Read more

Leeds United 0 Nottingham Forest 1

Despite having sixty two percent possession it counted for nothing in the end as Forest walked away with the deserved three points. Ennislusc members Kevin Greene and John Galvin travelled over to the game and must have left Elland Road disappointed with the fare on offer.

Nelson Oliveiras eight goal of the season on sixty minutes ended Leeds six game unbeaten run although Souleymane Doukara came close to giving the home side an early lead when he headed Stuart Dallas's cross wide. Forest midfielder Gary Gardner hit the crossbar midway through the second half and in truth it was another inept performance from Steve Evans men.

Certainly there will be a big clear out in the summer and this was hinted at by Evans in his after match comments to LUFC TV.

Brentford 1 Leeds United 1

Substitute Mustapha Carayol came to Leeds rescue with an 84 minute goal to earned a good point after an much improved second-half display against a gallant Brentford side. With aircraft landing every minute at nearby Heathrow Airport one wonders how one play football with constant noise in the skies over head Griffin Park.

It was a brilliant individual goal from midfielder Sam Saunders on twenty seven minutes that gave The Bees a well deserved interval lead. He ran direct from midfield and with defenders falling back he hit a scorching daisy cutter from twenty yards that gave Silvestri no chance. However Carayol's 18-yard effort got Leeds out of jail and a point they hardly deserved.

Leeds United 1 Bristol City 0

A drab dour game with few incidents of note went the home sides way thanks to
Souleymane Doukara goal on fifty nine minutes. Leeds stretched their unbeaten home run to six matches with this victory over struggling Bristol City. The French striker struck his third goal in four games when Stuart Dallas's cross hit off fellow striker Chris Woods and fell perfectly for Doukara to fire home. An ugly win but three points which is what counts.

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
