Just a few belated thoughts to add to those already posted about the Fulham 
game.

I thought the abuse of McCormack was well over the top.  He was a faithful 
servant to us, scored all our goals for some time, and we sold him for more 
money than any of us thought we'd get.  'There's only one greedy bastard' the 
Leeds cried, but who of us wouldn't go to do the same job we're doing now, just 
somewhere else, for three times the money?

Whoever posted about the church being in The Omen, thanks.  I really enjoyed 
the walk to the ground, with lights the of London reflected on the river, the 
atmospheric park, interesting architecture and a church (the Omen one as it 
turns out) I commented on to my fellow fans at the time.  And I also really 
enjoyed Fulham's proper floodlights, on towers, which could be seen for miles 
around.  It's the proper way to illuminate a night match.

The Craven Cottage in the corner rivals Bolton's old corner corner shop for 
weirdest thing I've seen in a football ground.  I expected Hansel and Gretel to 
come on as subs (it was my first time there).

The terrace we were in does move alarmingly as we all jumped up and down.

I did not enjoy the Hillsborough crush at half time.  The queue for the bar was 
five or six deep when I joined it, and grew and grew as more Leeds came down to 
join it at the break.  You couldn't move at the front and it was not a 
comfortable experience at all.  I got searched on my way in to the ground, but 
none of the multiude of stewards were on hand to help out in the bar or the 
concourse.

Murco's goal was a scuffed bouncer, but he was in teh right place at the right 
time, and took his chance.  Don't think Steve Lessison would. Why does Morison 
get so much adoring chanting from the fans?  Has some helpful Leeds fan been 
handing leaflets out on the effects of positive reinforcement in the hope it 
will improve his game?

I had a great day out, away games are way more fun than home games. Sadly my 
Russel Crowe prediction didn't happen. Didn't see Richard Osman either.
