I agree which is why in my report I said they "had the ball in the net"and that
the "whistle had already gone" - rather than saying they 'had a goal
disallowed'.
I have not seen it since so cannot really comment on whether he would have
scored anyway but our defenders and keeper all stopped playing when the whistle
went and made no attempt to defend itDave

My thoughts exactly Matt. I'm sat practically in-line with it and was
surprised the lino put his flag up as I thought it was in. As soon as it went
up tho we made no effort to stop Rhodes. Not a disallowed goal at all ffs.

Their disallowed goal.... yes the ball was out but the lino put his flag up
straight away, the ball crossed in but Bellusci (?), silvestri and Rhodes
had all seen it and stopped. Rhodes just headed it in. despite f*cking
peter Beagrie and Karanka moaning it was not a disallowed goal it was an
incorrect goal kick. Had the flag gone up later I'm confidentish that he
wouldn't have headed unopposed into to the net... that's what I'm telling
the Boro fans anyway

. Left pub at the very last minute so did not see the protest.What I did see
was plenty of empty seats, even among the season ticket holders near me and
that tells its own story. Anyway on to the match which I assume those who
care enough to read this will have seen on TV.Not sure what to say about
this one. I walked out having given the team great cheers and applause at
the end, but, that was mainly for the last 10 minutes when we really went
for it. The previous 80mins was almost business as usual, we had most of the
possession and most of the territorial advantage but never really looked
like scoring and we were always worried they would hit us on the break and
get a goal. They were not brilliant but the general impression all game was
that they were better than us and that if they scored one they would beat us
3 or 4 nil.
The first half was not great but not awful either with our only two chances
/ attempts being an excellent turn and shot by Doukara and then an almost
own goal from a goal mouth scramble. AT our end Silvestri was the typical
Silvestri - two good saves, flapping at a cross that ended with Bellusci (?)
clearing off the line and some awful kicking. They did have the ball in the
net when a cross was headed in but the whistle had already gone as the ball
went out before the cross ( a text message suggested the decision was wrong)
So 0-0 at half time and a decent response from the crowd rather than the
booing off of some recent games. Their was a bit of anti Cellino stuff but
nothing of any note.The second half was similar with them missing a couple
of chances on the break and Silvestri pulling off another good save. We
actually had two attempts on target - the most in any home game for a while
-both from Doukara, one a great header but both were very well saved. We
brought on Erwin
but he just showed why he has not been being picked, and Mowatt was also
brought on and looked quite lively. Then with ten minutes to go we suddenly
came alive and played like Evans has promised we always would, that is,
really going for it. We really battered them in that period, helped by their
defender getting an obvious yellow card for a trip which was his second. So
when the final whistle went we were totally on top of the game roared on by
the crowd and we all left the ground thinking why can't we do this more
often.It was not all great, Wootton who did OK defensively constantly showed
why he should not be a right back, time after time he was in space but
stopped and turned back killing the momentum. Cooper showed that with the
ball at his feet he is a League one defender, Antenucci (one of my
favourites) played like he really did not want to be at Leeds, Cook still
refuses to shoot, and Doukara whislt he did quite well and had our 3 best
attempts on goal does not pun ch his weight and is too easily bossed.
That is a bit nit picking when over the 90minutes we matched and more, the
supposed second best team in the Division and could have got all 3 points.
Again though we were left wondering why we play so much better against good
teams than bad, and why we do not have more penetration.I found out at the
game that we are back there next Tuesday v Fulham, so cue a goal or two by
McCormack and us going back into our shell against a lower team Dave
