Hartlepool United - Victoria Park
View GalleryAt least one published guide to stadiums in England has suggested that Victoria Park was built on the site of a former rubbish tip. The claim prompts a predictable stream of jokes, though not so readily as the rumour that Pittodrie – the home of Aberdeen – replaced a dung heap in 1899.
(http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41074000/jpg/_41074834_victoriapark_emp203.jpg)
Name: Victoria Park
Capacity: 7,691
Record Attendance: 17,426 v Manchester Utd in January 1957
Distance from Elland Road: 81 miles
Year ground opened: 1886
United's last visit: January 18, 1979
But the official line states that Hartlepool's ground came into being during the 19th Century after the closure of a limestone quarry on the north-east coast. West Hartlepool Rugby Club were the original occupants but went out of business in 1908, clearing the way for the football team to move in.
Eight years later, and at the height of World War I, the stadium was bombed by a German Zeppelin, destroying the main stand, and a failure to secure compensation from the government prevented Hartlepool from replacing the structure until the 1980s.
The Teesside club will celebrate their 100th year in the ground in 2008, but it is not a stadium with which United are overly familiar.
Leeds travelled to Hartlepool for a pre-season friendly last summer, losing 2-1, but their most recent competitive visit came in 1979 when they eliminated their hosts from the FA Cup with a 6-2 victory.
The only other time the clubs have met competitively came in 1979 when an FA Cup tie produced one of the biggest crowds ever seen at Victoria Park. Around 16,000 packed into the ground, marginally below the record attendance produced by Manchester United's visit in the same competition 22 years earlier.
Three sections of the stadium are seated, with terracing running along the front of the Camerons Brewery Stand and throughout the single-tiered Town End.
Away fans are funnelled into the Rink End, a small all-seater stand behind one goal with an official capacity of 960 and the occasional supporting pillar obstructing the view.
The total capacity falls beneath 8,000 – the third-smallest arena in the division.
United's trip north on Boxing Day has already been brought forward to a 1pm start, but little over 80 miles lie between Hartlepool and Leeds. The freezing North Sea wind will be waiting to greet all new arrivals.

Pools striker may face Leeds
(http://editorial.jpress.co.uk/web/Upload/HMJJ//TH1_1812200734joel-porter.jpg)
BOXING DAY DATE: Joel Porter
JOEL Porter could be set to make a dramatic return from injury in time to face Leeds United in the sell-out Boxing Day clash at Victoria Park.
It had been feared the Hartlepool United attacker would be out until the New Year after he suffered knee ligament damage in the 3-1 victory over Tranmere a fortnight ago, where Porter scored Pools' third goal.
The Australian ace has endured a nightmare last two years and has had surgery on both knees in successive season, although his current injury is nowhere near as serious.
He missed almost all of Pools relegation season in 2005/06 as well as a large portion of the promotion campaign last year, although he still managed to return and score six goals.
While he has spent a lot of the current campaign on the bench he has still found the net seven times and his partnership with Ian Moore in the Tranmere victory suggested the duo were set to be given a run together up front.
That opportunity was cruelly denied to Porter but manager Danny Wilson admitted he may return to training by the end of the week and has an outside chance of even making this weekend's trip to Swindon.
Even if Saturday's clash comes too soon, he could be in line to return on Boxing Day in one of most keenly-anticipated league matches in Pools' history.
"Joel might be able to train by the end of this week but we will have to wait and see," Wilson said.
While Porter may have an outside chance, the same cannot be said for Pools' other casualties.
Andy Monkhouse, Jamie McCunnie Ben Clark all remain on the sidelines and face a race against time to be fit for the Leeds clash.
Monkhouse's damaged knee was assessed again yesterday and he may take part in some training this week to see if there is any reaction.
McCunnie was due to have an injection on his knee yesterday and, like Monkhouse, will have to wait and see if there is any improvement.
Clark meanwhile has been told to rest his damaged hamstring but he too is hoping to resume training in time to compete for a place in the side to face the Yorkshire giants.
"It doesn't look like the injuries will improve much this week, but maybe next," Wilson said.
"We will give Andy Monkhouse a blast and see if there is a reaction to his knee.
"If there is then we will have to re-assess it, the same goes for Jamie McCunnie.
"They are unlikely to be okay as is Ben Clark."

Pools v Leeds ticket sales suspended
Hartlepool United football club have announced that tickets for the Boxing Day fixture with Leeds United have been suspended.
Pools have blamed the suspension of sales on a computer failure which means tickets for the home games against Leeds and Leyton Orient can't be printed.
However, tickets are still available to buy for the away matches against Swindon Town and Carlisle United over the festive period.
Almost 6,000 tickets have been sold for the Leeds game and the visitors have already sold out the Rink End.
There are a very limited number of tickets remaining for the fixture but an exact figure is unavailable due to the computer system crashing.

Coles braced for Leeds cauldron
(http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/44308000/jpg/_44308955_danny_coles_203_getty.jpg)
Danny Coles in action for Hull City
On-loan defender Danny Coles is hoping his experience of playing at Elland Road can help Bristol Rovers when they travel to Leeds on Saturday.
Coles played at the stadium for Hull last season, but expects to experience a different atmosphere this time.
Coles told BBC Radio Bristol: "Last season in the Championship they didn't open the top tier of one stand.
"They have had an unbelievable start to this season and they are bringing in the crowds, which is brilliant."
"With the players they have got you would expect them to be up there. It is no surprise," he added.

Bullock makes Pools return
Hartlepool midfielder Lee Bullock has returned to Victoria Park after his loan despite being offered a permanent deal at League Two side Bury.
The 26-year-old enjoyed a successful loan spell with the Shakers - starting eight games since joining in October - but he has now opted to return to Victoria Park in an attempt to force his way back into first team reckoning.
Bury's director of football Keith Alexander told the club's official website: "That's his decision and as they (Hartlepool) are a division above us you can understand that."

Victoria Park, rett ut mot Nordsjøen, på en hustrig andre juledag kommer til å bli en kjempeutfordring for Leeds United. Dette er selveste julekvelden to dager på etterskudd, selv om kampen går på formiddagen, for Hartlepool United og lagets trofaste supportere. Det forundrer meg ikke om Leeds United går på en megasmell der.

Kamp 22/12:
Corr strike seals win for Robins
Barry Corr's second-half penalty saw Swindon beat Hartlepool 2-1 at home to return to winning ways after a run of three straight defeats.
(http://images.teamtalk.com/07/03/190/Corr_210333.jpg)
Corr dusted himself down to take the spot-kick after he had been fouled by Michael Nelson.
There was a positive atmosphere at the County Ground after the future of the cash-strapped Wiltshire club was assured by a New Year takeover this week. But Hartlepool had threatened to spoil the party.
Pool had lost their previous five away games but they took the lead when Godwin Antwi forced Robbie Elliott's free-kick into the path of Ian Moore, who steered the ball home from 12-yards out.
But their joy was short-lived as on-loan Reading striker Simon Cox provided the finish to Miguel Comminges' right-wing assist.
Swindon piled on the pressure and after Lee Peacock had gone close with a headed effort, they were presented with the chance to take all three points when Nelson upended Corr inside the area.

Har faktiskt bodd i Hartlepool i 5 dager i januar 2006. Så oppgjøret Hartlepool-Tranmere, en drepende kjedelig 0-0 kamp med
aboslutt intet liv på tribunen. Den gang så var det noen plussgrader, og merket ikke mye til kaldt gufs fra Nordsjøen.
Men byen er passe stor, og har et antall kvalitetspuber å by på. Så også M'boro - Everton ved samme anledning,
og Middlesbrough er virkelig et lite tiltalende sted.
Jeg håper og tror at Hartlepool har en formdupp for tiden, det var "gode" på ER i høst. Tror vi vinner denne,
men så blir det spennende med Swansea. Men jeg er uvanlig optimistisk for tiden, og tror vi vinner i Swansea også.

Easy for Ali G
(http://editorial.jpress.co.uk/web/Upload/HMJJ//TH1_2212200745HM4707GILLINGHAMGIBB1.jpg)
Ali Gibb
ALI Gibb reckons Hartlepool United's Boxing Day glamour clash with Leeds United will be an EASIER match than usual.
The Pools winger, who is pushing for a place in the starting XI to face the Yorkshire giants on Wednesday, admitted Leeds are one of, if not the best side in League One.
But he also insisted that a packed Victoria Park and a vociferous atmosphere can inspire Pools and could propel them to victory.
"Leeds is a massive game but you often find that the bigger the game, the easier it actually is," Gibb said.
"Look at the way we played down at Leeds last time.
"I think everybody who watched that game agreed that we should have come out of that game with three points even though we eventually got beat.
"These are the games that you find that you lift yourself that bit more, the noise of the crowd and the build-up gives you that extra 10 per cent.
"It is not that you don't give 100 per cent every time you go out on the pitch it is just that the bigger the game and atmosphere, sometimes helps you find that bit extra.
"Leeds are a really good side and when you come up against players of that calibre, you know you have to be at your very best."

Mener vi nå må starte med FLO istedenfor Kandol. Kandol bør få en vekker med å sitte på benken !!!!!!!!!

Flo orkar inte på långa vägar när en hel match, bättre ge honom lugn och ro att komma i form, inte stressa fram fr mycket speltid, bättre öka med 10 minuter per match om de andra anfallarna missköter sig

Old boy plots Leeds downfall
(http://editorial.jpress.co.uk/web/Upload/HMJJ//TH1_2412200720ian-moore.jpg)
BIG GAME: Pools striker Ian Moore
IAN Moore is hoping his Boxing Day re-union will not be such a happy one for his former Leeds United team-mates.
The Hartlepool United striker scored his 100th career goal in the 2-1 defeat at Swindon and will be looking to add to his tally when he lines up against his old club in Wednesday's sell-out clash.
Moore spent two years at Elland Road before he was released in a summer clearout, along with Pools defender Robbie Elliott, and the pair decided to ply their trade at the Vic.
Despite the turnover in personnel at Leeds, Moore is still friends with a number of players who survived the cull, including midfielder Jonathan Douglas and strikers Jermaine Beckford and Tresor Kandol.
And the 31-year-old admitted he had been surprised by how well Leeds had bounced back from the 15-point deduction that they were handed at the start of the season for going into administration.
"It is obviously a big game for me and Robbie, but everyone's looking forward to it because there will be a full house," said Moore.
"It will be interesting and nice to do battle against them.
"I knew they would be possibly around the play-offs but I didn't think they would bring the points in so quickly.
"But once the supporters get behind them at home, the poorer teams will just fold."
Moore's goal at Swindon was his eighth in a Pools shirt and he has already beaten his tally of five during his Leeds days, where he was often deployed on the flanks.
He admitted it was a relief to finally hit the century mark but said it had been a tough afternoon against an uncompromising Swindon defence.
"I've been wanting this 100th goal for a while and it is a bit of a weight off my shoulders," he said.
"Me and Michael (Mackay) had to live on little scraps and as it was the goal came from a scrap. Michael got a foot on it and it ricocheted to me and luckily I put it in.
It was a scrappy goal but you take them.
"Their two centre-halves are two of the better ones in the division. They are both quick and horrible to play against.
"But at the end of the day we are really gutted and we have got to start picking the three points up in these games.
"We said at half-time we will take the 1-0, try and defend it and see where we go from there but we are just too soft-centred at times.
"I know it starts from up front but we get rolled over too easily when we concede a goal. We are looking about thinking 'oh no not again', whereas we should be looking for another goal.
"I bet the gaffer is pulling his hair out from games where we are in a commanding position and we have thrown it away."

Pools boss wants more fight for Leeds
(http://editorial.jpress.co.uk/web/Upload/HMJJ//TH1_2412200729danny-wilson.jpg)
ANGRY: Pools boss Danny Wilson
A FURIOUS Danny Wilson today challenged his troops to come out fighting when Leeds enter the cauldron of Victoria Park on Boxing Day.
The Hartlepool United manager was left fuming after his side threw away a 1-0 half-time lead at Swindon and gifted the hosts a couple of goals in the second period.
Wilson warned the players after the game that they would be looking towards the bottom of the league rather than the top if they continued to give away soft goals to the opposition.
But he said Pools had a great opportunity to bounce back in style against the division's top scorers and avenge the 2-0 defeat at Elland Road earlier this season, when Leeds were played off the park.
"If we defend like we did at Swindon we'll have a problem but we are very capable of keeping a very tight back four and that's what we will have to do against Leeds," said Wilson.
"It is a big test for us and we know it will be a really tough game. It will be a big crowd, a great atmosphere but we have got to defend better.
"Performance wise at Elland Road it was fantastic, absolutely fantastic.
"But we are inconsistent. We are having games that we think we will be okay in because we have played so well in the game before, but it doesn't work like that."
He added: "That is why we are in the middle of the table. If we defend like we did at Swindon it won't be the top end of the table we will be looking at, it will be the bottom.
"We are far from the worst team in the league, but we are not the best team either. We are in mid-table because we deserve to be.
"If you look at the errors we have made to lose games, they have not been teams that have cut us apart.
"It has been decisions from our point of view that we have got wrong."

Prutton Doubt For Boxing Day
Leeds may be without David Prutton for the Boxing Day visit to Hartlepool due to a head injury.
The midfielder played for just over an hour in Saturday's win over Bristol Rovers following an early clash of heads with Joe Jacobson, who was immediately substituted
Seb Carole is ready to come in after impressing as a replacement on Saturday.
Jonny Howson is expected to keep his place and partner Alan Thompson again in central midfield.

Leeds target top spot at Pools
Leeds United could go top of League One for at least a couple of hours if they win their sell-out, high noon clash with Hartlepool on Boxing Day.
With Swansea City kicking off at 2pm and Nottingham Forest an hour later, Leeds will overtake their rivals if they win.
In fact, with Leeds superior goal difference, a draw would be enough to put them top.
Leeds were fortunate to beat Hartlepool earlier in the season but Danny Wilson's side have had a poor run of late. Hit by injuries, they have only picked up two wins in their last eight outings.
This will be Leeds' first competitive match at the Victoria Ground since Don Revie's side declined to change in the dressing rooms there in January 1979. The team prepared in a nearby hotel and went on to thrash Hartlepool 6-2.
The ground has improved considerably since then but is still a far cry from Elland Road and with former Leeds players Ian Moore and Robbie Elliott wanting to put on a good show, this won't be an easy game for Leeds.

Nolan hands Wilson early gift
Eddie Nolan has handed Hartlepool manager Danny Wilson a major boost after extending his loan deal ahead of the clash with Leeds.
The defender was due to rejoin parent club Blackburn after Saturday's 2-1 defeat at Swindon but will stay at Victoria Park for another month and should remain in the starting line-up.
Michael Mackay picked up a knock at the weekend and is doubtful with Wilson again expected to be without at least four first-team regulars.
Andy Monkhouse, Joel Porter, Jamie McCunnie (all knee) and Ben Clark (hamstring) are all sidelined as Pools look to secure a third straight home win.
Antony Sweeney, Richie Barker and David Foley all came off the bench to feature against Swindon and will be hoping to be involved again.

Hartlepool v Leeds preview
Nolan stays with Pools, Prutton concern for Leeds
On-loan defender Eddie Nolan is available for Hartlepool United, while Leeds United are waiting on David Prutton.
Nolan was due to return to Blackburn Rovers after Saturday's loss at Swindon, but will now stay with Pools for an extra month, and should start against Leeds.
Michael Mackay picked up a knock at the weekend and is doubtful with boss Danny Wilson again likely to be without at least four first-team regulars.
Andy Monkhouse, Joel Porter, Jamie McCunnie (all knee) and Ben Clark (hamstring) are all sidelined.
Antony Sweeney, Richie Barker and David Foley all came off the bench to feature against Swindon and will be hoping to be involved again.
Midfielder Prutton is struggling to be fit to make the game at Victoria Park due to a head injury.
The midfielder lasted just over an hour in Saturday's win over Bristol Rovers following an early clash of heads with Joe Jacobson.
If Prutton is rested, then Leeds boss Dennis Wise is likely to bring Seb Carole into his team.
Otherwise, Leeds have no other new injury or suspension problems, but remain without skipper Jonathan Douglas, who is out for three months with knee ligament damage.
Jonny Howson is expected to partner Alan Thompson in central midfield, with Jermaine Beckford and Tresor Kandol in attack.
Mark De Vries has been ruled out of the Christmas fixture schedule with a groin injury, while Portuguese winger Filipe Da Costa is sidelined with a hamstring problem.

No er det eit lite døgn til årets "boxing day"-kamp. Eg fekk ikkje følgd helgas siger mot Rovers og får heller ikkje høve imåra. Men det blir alltid siger når eg ikkje følgjer kampen direkte, så dåkke har ingenting å frykte :D
Til trass for dette har eg tippa årets andre tap (1-2)...
Er det noko nytt om skadesituasjonen i klubben (forutan Dougie), eller er nesten alle mann heilt skadefri? Kan ikkje hugse sist vi hadde ein så stor tropp å plukke frå, så det er vel knalltøff kamp om plassane. Wise verkar dog å vere tru mot lag som vinn kampar. Det er vel inga bombe om dette blir laget:

Three points at Hartlepool would be the perfect Christmas present
for Dennis Wise and his players at Hartlepool on Boxing Day.
Saturday's 1-0 win against Bristol Rovers lifted United up to third in the table and, given the 12 noon kick-off at Hartlepool, the lads could hit top spot on Wednesday if only for a couple of hours.
"What we're looking for is the three points," said winger Seb Carole. "We want to get in the top-two before January.
"We didn't play our best on Saturday, but's about winning games, it's not always about the way you play.
"At home Hartlepool was a tough game, and they played well.
"They are maybe a little bit down at the moment, and this could be the right time to get them. We have to push hard and hope to win."
Tresor Kandol opens the scoring against Hartlepool
Hartlepool were beaten 2-0 at Elland Road in September, taking us to zero points - Tresor Kandol is pictured opening the scoring - and the manager has made no secret of the fact that he believes they were the best team to come to Leeds.
Danny Wilson's men, who lost at Swindon last weekend, haven't lived up to their early season form, but assistant boss Dave Bassett knows United will face a tough test in the north east.
"Hartlepool are a good team," said Dave. "I saw them play Sheffield Wednesday earlier in the season when they played extremely well and were very unfortunate to lose after being 1-0 up.
"I hear they played very well down here as well early on, despite us winning the game 2-0.
"They are a good side, Danny Wilson is a good manager, and they have some good players.
"But we'll be looking to go there and win the game."
United will be backed by just 950 fans in a sell-out crowd, and French winger Seb is once again calling on the support to help the team to victory.
"It was thanks to the crowd we scored on Saturday because they never let us down," he added.
"They were great, they were there when we needed them, and they were a good lift for us.
"Even away from home the crowd is there for us. It doesn't matter that there's less than 1000 - they will still cheer more than the home fans."

På tide at vi spiller en bra kamp nå, har vært mye varierende prestasjoner i det siste. Hartlepool er en av league one's beste hjemmelag så dette blir ingen gåtur i parken.
Håper vi vinner 2-1 men tror det blir et smertelig 4-2 tap. 3 mål de første 25 minuttene fra H'pool.
God jul
-
Flo orkar inte på långa vägar när en hel match, bättre ge honom lugn och ro att komma i form, inte stressa fram fr mycket speltid, bättre öka med 10 minuter per match om de andra anfallarna missköter sig
Enig!
...og jeg tror Wise (og Flo) tenker på samme vis.
-
Til trass for dette har eg tippa årets andre tap (1-2)...
Har det blitt for mye pakker eller akevitt i jula, Per-Stian? ;)
Vi har allerede tapt 2 kamper, så da skulle det vel blir årets tredje tap, men det blir det ikke!
-
Tror ikke 3 tapet kommer i morgen, men vi skal få slite for poengene.

Gjekk faktisk ned ein del akevitt like før eg skreiv innlegget mitt ;D Faktafeil må unnskuldast no i juletidene. Det er snart ikkje meir blod att i årane mine...

Er spent på denne kampen. Hartlepool har vunnet de to siste hjemme. Men de mangler minst 4 i start elveren sin, hvis det skulle ha noe å si. :-\
Håper leeds er på tå hev fra første minutt. 8)
få inn Carole slik at vi kan satse på kontringer

Old boy Moore relishing United visit
IAN MOORE admits to being surprised as to how quickly his former club Leeds United overcame their 15-point deficit this season to launch a promotion challenge.
The 31-year-old striker is eagerly looking forward to facing United today in front of a sell-out crowd at Hartlepool United's Victoria Park.
Moore was released by Dennis Wise at the end of last season, but continued to follow events at Elland Road closely throughout a turbulent summer that ended with the Football League imposing a points deduction on the club for breach of rules.
He said: "It is obviously a big game for me and Robbie (Elliott, Hartlepool defender who also played for Leeds), but everyone's looking forward to it because there will be a full house.
"I knew they would be possibly around the play-offs, but I didn't think they would bring the points in so quickly. But once the supporters get behind them at home, the poorer teams will just fold."
United assistant manager Dave Bassett is forecasting a tough battle. He said: "I saw Hartlepool play at Sheffield Wednesday in the Carling Cup and they looked a good side. They were very unfortunate to lose as they were ahead for a long period.
"Dennis tells me that in the game here, although we won 2-0 Hartlepool looked a decent side. Danny Wilson knows what he is doing , but we go there to win."

'Leeds is biggest match in Pools' history'
TONY Sweeney declared today's visit of Leeds United as the biggest league match at Victoria Park in Hartlepool United's history.
And the midfield dynamo is hoping there will be more like it to follow for Pools in 2008.
Leeds' arrival at Victoria Park for this afternoon's lunch-time kick-off has captured the imagination of the entire town and tickets were like gold-dust in the run up to the clash, making it a 7,500 sell-out.
Sweeney believes this type of match shows how far the club has come in his six years at the club and he believes there are many more big games to come at Victoria Park in the future.
"Having Leeds United on Boxing Day could not have worked out any better," Sweeney said.
"It does not come much better than playing Leeds on Boxing Day in front of a full house.
"We have hosted big teams like Nottingham Forest but even they are not the same as Leeds.
"Only a few years ago I remember watching them in the Champions League taking on the likes of Inter Milan.
"Now they are coming to the Vic on a cold winter's day!
"A few years ago when we were languishing at the bottom of the league, if someone had said we would be playing Leeds United in the league on Boxing Day we would not have believed it.
"Okay, they are in League One and they will be disappointed to be here, but it is still a great game.
"This is the type of game you love to be involved in and it would be great to have these games at the Vic every other week."
He added: "In 2008 hopefully we can finish as high up the league as we can.
"If that is the play-offs, that would be great but if we finish higher that would obviously be even better.
"The play-offs have to be our first aim and then go from there."
Pools defender Ben Clark has committed his future to the club by signing a new deal.
Clark joined Pools from Sunderland in 2004 and has made over 100 appearances for the club, both in the heart of defence and as a ball-winning midfielder.
Godwin Antwi was preferred to Clark at the start of the season but the 24-year-old worked his way back into the side until he was struck down by a hamstring injury.
Clark is not expected to play a part in tomorrow's game with Leeds but could be involved in Pools' other festive fixtures.
He told the club website: "Once the manager said that he wanted to offer me a new deal there was no doubt that I'd be signing it.
"I'm very settled here and everyone at the club has been fantastic with me - that's the supporters all the way through to the players and the staff here.
"Last season was the best of my career and I think we've shown already that we can hold our own in this new division even though some results have gone against us."
Clark added that manager Danny Wilson had played a big part in him signing the contract extension.
"At the start of the season I wasn't in the side but he was great with me and re-assured me that I was a big part of his plans and that he was more than happy with me," he said.

Casper
Frazer-Heath-Marques-Hughes
Prutton-Kishishev-Howson-Westlake
Beckford-Kandol

Har en følelse det blir lange baller på Kandol og Beckford i dag. Redd vi blir liggende bakpå omtrent hele kampen.
Måtte det funke om vi gjør det!!
-
Thommo er gjerne ikkje hundre prosent endå, men syntes det er litt rart at Kish tek plassen hans på midten. Thommo var absolutt balnt Leeds beste sist.
Men, laget vi stiller bør vere bra nok for tre nye poeng!
-
Ja, for sånn har vi vel spilt i alle kamper hittil i år...
;)

Det blir ikke en easy kamp dette, men jeg tror vi kommer til og ta med oss 3 poeng. Målscorere: Beckford og Westlake. MOT. PS. Hva tenker dere om at Lubo skal tilbake? Får vi det til så er det fantastisk, men er vell det som er spørsmålet :)
-
Merkelig at Thompson ble satt ut i dag. Har en snikende følelse av at får kjørt oss i dag. Glasskula sier 2-1 tap ...
-
come one leeds, give me a white christmas ;D

Med Howson på banen blir det ikkje berre lange baller.Han er ein dei som kan holde ballen i laget og spille langs bakken,og gjør det.

Snart klar
C'mon MightyLeeds

Det var da en svært offensiv benk. Får håpe at forsvarsspillerne unngår skader.
Vel, bortsett fra Frazier da. Selv fysio'n kan erstatte ham :)

Er det "våre" gamle menn Ian Moore og Robbie Elliott som spiller for H'pool?
Det er vel desse som skal ødelegge jula for oss då....
-
Nettopp våkna, litt småuggen etter gårsdagen. Hvordan har starten vært? Vanlig Leedsspill - lange baller opp mot Beckford og Kandol?
-
S****ns explorer dritten har bestemt at jeg ikke skal få være på nett i dag. Den slår seg av hele tiden . ARRRRRRRRGGGGG.

Monkey Hanger is the affectionate term by which Hartlepudlians are often known by other residents of Great Britain.
According to local folklore, during the Napoleonic wars, a French ship of the type chasse marée (literally, tide-chaser) was wrecked off the coast of Hartlepool. The only survivor was a monkey, wearing a French uniform (presumably to provide amusement for those onboard the ship). On finding the monkey, some locals decided to hold an impromptu trial on the beach; since the monkey was unable to answer their questions, they concluded that it was a French spy. The animal was thus sentenced to death and hanged from the mast of a fishing boat on the Headland. Nowadays, many Hartlepudlians have positively embraced the term, and only a small minority still consider the term 'Monkey Hanger' offensive. It is often used to refer to supporters of Hartlepool United Football Club by supporters of their arch rivals Darlington.
-
Joda, det var nok R Elliott.
Og der kom eit skudd frå I Moore....
NEEIIIIIIIII KOR I H......... SA....... Tom da! Var det ikke Elliot som slo innlegget mon tro.

Da var vi på toppen av tabellen i ca. 20 min.... >:(
Men vi kommer igjen skal dere se!!! ;D

helvete kandol!!!!!!!
-
Ohhhh, nesten!
-
Nei faen altså!.. Nå må¨du bli bedre å sette disse sjangsene Kandol!!!!
-
Kandol da!
-
ååååå nettveggen fra Kandol!!!!!
godt spill fra Howson
-
Det er god tid å rette opp dette på, vi vinner!
-
Nesten av Kandol, Dårlig avslutning av han, som vanlig >:(
-
Kandol må skjerpe seg foran kassa, det er begynt å bli ein lei vane å bomme på gode sjanser.
-
Flo hadde scora :D

Hver jævli gang jeg setter på radioen, scorer motstanderen innen 5-10 minutt. Helt sykt!
-
hmmmm
H'pool Elliott med ett farlig skudd!!!!
-
Hver jævli gang jeg setter på radioen, scorer motstanderen innen 5-10 minutt. Helt sykt!
Skru av radioen din då, fort ;)
-
Skjønner hvorfor ikke Carole starter?! Sist kamp da han og Flo kom inn begynte vi å dominere kampen totalt, og fikk til mye godt spill. Med to krigere på kantene er det begrenset hvor mye spill vi kan få til.
-
Du må slutte med det!

Huffa meg!

-
Skjerpings Leeds!
-

Må nok gjøres noen bytter i pausen, kan ikke fortsette slik i 2. omgang.

Ut med Kish og Kandol og inn med Thommo og Flo.

ååååå
nesten beckford!!!!!!!!
-
God sjanse frå Becks!
Come On Leeds, keep up the pressure!!!!!
-
Det er bra sjelden at Leeds spiller en god 1 omgang. Det er vel det som kalles "slow starter"
-
Faen, vi bør ha 1-1 til pause.
Come on Becks - give us a goal!!!
-
ikke noe "twisting and turning" i dag!!!!!
-
Vi har vert litt bedre siste 10 minuttene, mangler å putte.
-
ikke noe "twisting and turning" i dag!!!!!
Har ventet på den jeg også ^^
Mulig han ikke er i helt form idag han kommentatoren... ;D

-
Dette var ikke mye å skryte av, nei. Noe må gjøres med dette Leedslaget. Borte scorer vi nesten ikke mål. Stort sett blir det 1 mål, og det kommer heeeeelt på slutten av kampen. Jeg føler meg ikke helt trygg for tiden.
-
1 min tillegg!!
-
Pause.
Slapp førsteomgang der H'pool tar ledelsen fortent.
Leeds våkner litt etter litt og skaper eit par store sjanser med Kandol og Becks. Begge burde putta, spesielt Becks.
Kish og Howsong har ikkje fungert på sentral midtbane og vi mangler vingspill.
Ingen god omgang av Leeds, her må det full skjerpings til for å ta med seg poeng.
Håper Wisey har eit ess i ermet............
-
Pause!
-
Pause,
-
Sann mine ord LEEDS snur kampen i 2 omgang
-
hmmm ikke bra dette. satser på en skjennepreken og lovnåd om ei romjulspils fra wise gjør susen i pausen ;D
-
Blir nok inn med Flo og Carole og 4-3-3. Har fungert tidligere, håper det fungerer i dag. Vi trenger å komme rundt på kantene å fore de store spissene våre med gode baller.
-
er skeptisk til at vi ikke har noe fart og kreativitet pa kantene...
skeptisk
veldig skeptisk...
-
Betryggande ord!
Sann mine ord LEEDS snur kampen i 2 omgang

Få INN: Carole og Flo og UT: Prutton og Westlake og gå over til 4-3-3
-
Nå kommer byttene snart.
-
Thommo og Carole gjer seg klar for innhopp.
Kven går ut? Kish og Westy?

Veldig slapt, men H'pool mest frampå.
Bytter på gang no.

Hva i svarte er det med dette H`pool laget som gjør at vi sliter så fælt me de!!!
-
Flo eller Constantine må inn etterkvart om ikkje målet kjem straks.
Håper Carole kan utfordre forsvaret til H'pool og at Thommo tar tak på midtbana.
-
Huff, stolpeskudd....
-
Moore i stolpen

uuu
Stang ut fra Moore!!!!!!!!! :o

Kan noen tuppe Kandol ut av laget for meg?
-
Leeds må slite i dag og det må kjempes for å kunne rykke opp til CCC. Det kan virke som om Leeds mangler det lille ekstra. Blir for forutsigbart til tider. Men nå er det jo ca 20+tillegg igjen så tid for mange mål...
Håper på noen forsterkninger i januar for de spillerene som er i Leeds i dag vil måtte jobbe hardt for å komme blant de to øverste. Vi trenger litt nytt blod. Aller helst spillere som er vesentlig bedre enn de vi har i dag.

Gult til Howson

Offday for Leeds idag seier Peter.

Han har gitt båndet til Thompson
dagens kaptein?
Hughes?

Nå kan vi ikke bruke de -15 som noen hvilepute. Fakta er at vi har fått -15 og må forholde oss deretter. Gutta har så langt gjort en god jobb med å komme opp i topp 6, men nå er det topp 2 som bør gjelde og da kan det virke som om det må inn noe nytt blod om dette skal kunne gå.
Vi mangler fortsatt gode kanter, en venstreback og stabil kreativ kraft på sentral midtbane.
Er Constantine 100% frisk nå?
-
Personlig synes jeg at Kandol ikke holder mål sånn som vi spiller nå, MEN hadde vi hatt to raske vingspillere, så hadde kanskje Kandol vært uunnværlig. Hvis Leeds skal fortsette å spille uten kantspill, så kan de like gjerne kvitte seg med han.
-
Offday for Leeds idag seier Peter.
Det var nå en pokker til defensiv kommentar kampen er jo ikke ferdig! >:(

Ble aldri sagt, men det sier jo litt om hvor bra gutta har gjort det. Enig med at det hadde vært bra med noen nye. Kanter spesielt

Ble aldri sagt, men det sier jo litt om hvor bra gutta har gjort det. Enig med at det hadde vært bra med noen nye. Kanter spesielt
Nå kan vi ikke bruke de -15 som noen hvilepute. Fakta er at vi har fått -15 og må forholde oss deretter. Gutta har så langt gjort en god jobb med å komme opp i topp 6, men nå er det topp 2 som bør gjelde og da kan det virke som om det må inn noe nytt blod om dette skal kunne gå.
Vi mangler fortsatt gode kanter, en venstreback og stabil kreativ kraft på sentral midtbane.
Er Constantine 100% frisk nå?
Ingen hvilepute- heller en fantastisk inspirasjon for laget og støtteapparatet og oss selvsagt :D
-
Thommo nå!
-
Kom igjen Thompson!
-
Thommo!

Kom igjen nå gutter. Kan ikke tillate oss noen 0-poengere nå i jula....

Frispark på kanten av 16 meteren. Howson tar den. Utenfor. Flo inn nå

Håpa han skulle score på frisparket rett utenfor 16metern, men han tok det ikke engang
Thommo nå!

-
Legger vi om til 4-3-3 nå ? Håper det.

Frispark til Leeds og eg trudde Thommo skulle ta det.
Men, Howson tok det med lite hell...
Thommo nå!

Utrolig klønete da...pokker også ???

Come On TA Flo - Give Us A Goal!!!!!
-
Kvifor faen kan ikkje Thommo ta frisparket???
Fordi frisparket var på venstre kant.
Derfor blir det lettere for ein med høgrefot.

Ã…ååååååå rett over tverra av Flo. Sett nå ballen i mål for f....

Gi oss et mål nå Flo!
Nå er sesongens 3. mål som må nåen. Første var 0 poeng, andre var topp seks, nå er det topp to som gjelder. Det må inn noen klare forsterkninger nå i januar, helst spillere som kan holde for Leeds i CCC neste sesong. 8)

Godt spel frå Thommo.

COME ON LEEDS!!! Vi klarer ett mål eller to

Dårlig forsøk av Hughes. Dette ser ikke bra ut. Det beste vi kan håpe på er uavgjort, ser det ut som.

Ligger vi under 1-0? HAr vi spilt bra, lenge igjen?

Dette er virkelig trøsteløst å høre på. Når vi vinner ballen, måker vi den langt og håpefullt over midtbanen. Sliter faktisk med konsentrasjonen her jeg sitter og tar meg stadig i å falle ut av kampen. Håper byttene kan snu kampen de siste minuttene. Virker ihvertfall litt mer positivt nå. Synes dog det er merkelig at vi i flere kamper på rad starter med formasjoner som åpenbart ikke fungerer. ???

tror vi skal være fornøyd med det ene poenget idag men virker som om de må ligge under i kamper for å begynne å spille fotball(nå skal det vel sies at denne scoringen kom ut av intet men ikke overbevisende av leeds) men vi gir ihvertfall ikke opp og tar med oss 1 verdifullt poeng
-
i dag vant vi ett poeng - vi tapte ikke to!
årets nestdårligeste sier Peter - som fortsatt holder Cheltenham-kampen som årets bunnivå.
men vi topper tabellen! (om enn bare for noen timer)
stolt at 900 tok turen og heiet gjennom alle 94 mins.
Marching on together!

top of the laegue!! ;D
haha spilte h'pool nettopp melodien til 15 points who gives a f**k chanten til leeds på anlegget?
-
Slutt.
Heilt utruleg at vi igjen klarer å putte på slutten å unngår tap.
Vi skal nok vere det mest fornøgde laget idag.
Skuffande at vi ikkje klarer å spele betre enn vi gjer.
Men, vi hadde sjanser til å ha putta fleire gåller også....
Gode bytter av Wisey idag også, men håper han starter med Thommo og Carole i neste kamp.
Top of the league!!!
-
Synd at ikke Beckford satte den kjempesjansen på slutten, Da er det bare å håpe at Nottingham, Swansea avgir poeng i dag. Og at vi kan ta poeng mot Swansea i neste kamp.
-
1 poeng er greit nok men ikke mer enn det. Må ta 3 poengere på bortebane også for å komme oss helt opp i teten.
-
Ok, me spele bob bob kamp itte kamp, men tape omtrent aldri. Ein meget god egenskap i denna møkkaserien. Becks er gull vert, men Flo burde fått mer speletid, 11 min er altfor lite.
Fornøyd med 1 poeng i dag, fortsatt god jul gutter 8)
-
I følge Live tabellen til SkySports ligger Leeds på delt andreplass. Da er alle andre kamper satt til uavgjort. Hehe. :D

Tapte billettinntekter dette, og i tillegg er det jo mange nordmenn
som ville reist til Leeds i denne tiden.

nok de færreste godtatt å ha 2 bortekamper i en slik stor anledning ???

Me skal ta med det som Eddie Gray seier om scoringer på slutten:
"I saw it with Bristol Rovers on Saturday – they were very comfortable until the last 15 minutes when they began to sit deep and soak up pressure unnecessarily.
"They seemed to realise how close they were to getting a very good point, and that invited Leeds to score late on.

Jeg tror Thommo startet på benken pga at kampene kommer tett som hagl utover. Har vel lært at Thommo lett kan bli skadet, siden han fortsatt ikke har vært "skadefri" veldig lenge.
Det kan godt være at Thommo starter på benken mot Swansea også, uten at vi skal rive oss i håret av den grunn.

Flo bør komme inn tidligere. han har jo vist før at han kan være gull verdt når han har kommet innpå.

Leeds viste vel ikke at de kom til å trekke så mye tilskuere som vi gjør før sesongen, så ja: En reaksjon kunne tenkes.
Men med slik tilskuertilstrømming som vi har spiller det nok ingen rolle, men supporterne blir jo fratatt en romjulskamp på hjemmebane.
Jeg kan se det for meg, Bates på terminlistemøte: "We will lose a hell of a lot money when thousands of norwegians can't plan their traditional "Space-Christmas-Trip" to Leeds!!!!!!"

Bare noen minutter igjen av de andre kampene, og slik det ligger an nå, så er det kun Swansea som klarte å vinne. Nottingham har uavgjort å LO og Carlisle ligger an til tap.

Hartlepool United 1 Leeds United 1
Jermaine Beckford struck in the 90th minute to earn Leeds United another last-gasp result at Victoria Park.
The striker ran onto a long clearance from goalkeeper Casper Ankergren and drilled a shot across Hartlepool's Jan Budtz to perform the type of rescue act which Leeds have made their trademark this season.
Michael Nelson's first-half header looked certain to consign United to their third league defeat of the term in County Durham, but Beckford's clinical finish moved Leeds momentarily to the top of League One for the first time this season.
Nelson's finish on 21 minutes lit up a match which had failed until then to show serious signs of life, and the visitors' poor start was punished by his back-post strike.
The centre-back leapt to meet a dangerous free-kick from former United defender Robbie Elliott after James Brown had been fouled outside the box, and his header bounced across Casper Ankergren and dropped into the far corner of the net.
Leeds threatened occasionally in the first half, though Dennis Wise's players departed the interval knowing their uninspired display should still have produced an equaliser.
Tresor Kandol's heavy touch wasted one opportunity in the 25-minute, produced by a delightful through ball from Jonathan Howson, and his shot from a tight angle struck the side netting. When Kandol's knock-down left Beckford unmarked four yards from goal seven minutes before the break, his strike partner drove a low shot against the legs of keeper Budtz.
Leeds, however were fortunate to see Ritchie Barker hammer a volley over the crossbar after Willie Boland's pass left him one-on-one with Ankergren, and Ian Moore – United's ex-striker – clipped the post with a shot early in the second half.
Andrew Hughes saw a shot blocked on the line by Budtz in the closing half-hour, and United's chance of a draw seemed to have gone begging when substitute Tore Andre Flo lifted a glorious opportunity over the crossbar with eight minutes remaining.
But Ankergren's hopeful clearance bounced into the path of Beckford who flashed a left-footed volley across Budtz and into the back of the net.
United might then have stolen a victory in the fourth minute of injury-time, but Beckford close-range effort slipped inches wide of the post.
Hartlepool United: Budtz, Nolan, Nelson, Antwi, Elliott, Moore, Boland, Liddle, Humphreys, Brown (Sweeney 87), Barker. Subs (not used): Bullock, Foley, Robson, Mackay.
Leeds United: Ankergren, Richardson, Heath, Marques, Hughes, Prutton (Carole 57), Kishishev (Thompson 57), Howson, Westlake (Flo 78), Kandol, Beckford. Subs (not used): Huntington, Constantine.

Improved Pools held to a draw by lucky Leeds
Leeds don't go back to the Champiopnship as League One title-winners after their 1-1 draw at Hartlepool, they'll want their backsides kicking ... if Dennis Wise can reach them. Against a much-imrpoved Hartlepool, Leeds were never allowed to get into their stride and needed a last-minute goal to earn them a point they didn't deserve. Michael Nelson headed Hartlepool in front on 21 minutes and they should have extended their lead before Jermaine Beckford grabbed a last-minute goal for Leeds.
With Gary Liddle outstanding in midfield, Nelson and Godwin Antwi on top in the middle of the defence, Robbie Elliott looking class at left-back Ian Moore (right) going great guns wide on the right and James Brown back to something like his real form up front, Pools delighted their fans in a sell-out crowd of 7,784 at the Vic.
And as a bonus, the sort of trouble nervous police expected when they demanded the kick-off be brought forward to midday never even came close to materialising.
Nelson got the goal, but Moore blasted just over from the edge of the area while Brown ended a dizzying run with a shot that was somehow blocked by keeper Casper Ankergren.
Richard Barker returned to the attack in place of Michael Nelson and had a good game, though he should have scored in the first half.
Danny Wilson was pleased with his team's performance, but admitted: "We paid for a loss of concentration in the last few minutes.
"Leeds have a lot of class, but we more than matched them for most of the game and I felt we were worth three points, not just one.
"But football can be very cruel, and we now have to pick ourselves up and raise our game again when we play Leyton Orient on Saturday."

Jermaine Beckford celebrates his equaliser.
BECKFORD FRUSTRATES POOLS
Leeds produced another late show to grab an unlikely 1-1 draw after being second best for most of the game against Hartlepool.
Jermaine Beckford scored his 14th goal of the season in the last minute to rescue Leeds from what looked like being their third League One defeat of the season.
Hartlepool were full value for a lead that last more than an hour after creating the better chances. They went in front on 21 minutes when Robbie Elliott, outstanding at left-back against his former club, swung a free-kick to the far post for Michael Nelson to head a powerful goal.
Ian Moore blasted over the Leeds bar a minute later, while at the other end Tresor Kandol's shot hit the side netting, while home keeper Jan Budtz saved with his feet after a close-range shot from Darren Beckford.
Early in the second half, Leeds keeper Casper Ankergren pushed an angled shot from Moore against his right-hand post and behind for a corner.
Hartlepool were still on top until Beckford latched on to a long ball from the back and, wide on the left, struck a low angled shot just inside the far post.

Leeds leave it late again as Jermaine Beckford has final say
(http://www.timesonline.co.uk/multimedia/archive/00259/Beckford_259221a.jpg)
When it comes to late, game-changing goals nobody does it better than Leeds United. After scoring 11 in the closing ten minutes of matches this season, Jermaine Beckford, the striker, left it to the 90th minute before firing a low drive into the net to deny Hartlepool United victory at Victoria Park yesterday.
The home side were heading for a win thanks to a 22nd-minute goal from Michael Nelson, the defender. But the introduction of Alan Thompson, the captain of the visiting side, changed the tone of the game and Leeds began to take control after a tepid and subdued start.
That they equalised should have been no surprise to anyone, and least of all to Dennis Wise, the manager. “First half we did not play at all,†Wise said. “We conceded a sloppy goal which annoyed me. It was an uphill battle. But we try to go for it. If we are drawing or losing we have nothing to lose and go for it. We scored one, yet it was probably the hardest chance Jermaine has had.†For a short while, the point took Leeds to the top of the League One table – despite their 15-point deduction. “Very nice, I could never have predicted that at the start of the season, but let’s make sure we are there on May 4,†Wise said.
When Nelson crashed in a first-half header, meeting a free kick by Robbie Elliott, it was the first time the ball had been in either penalty area. Ian Moore, like Elliott a former Leeds player, then shot over for Hartlepool and Richard Barker bounced a shot wide after getting behind Rui Marques, the defender. Moore then hit a post from a shot taken early after a swift counter-attack and James Brown, the home side’s highly-rated forward, dribbled his way into the area but was denied by a mixture of goal-keeper and defenders.
Andy Hughes, the Leeds captain, was denied by Jan Budtz, the goal-keeper, when his low drive was aiming for the bottom corner, Tore Andre Flo shot over, but Beckford wasn’t going to miss, not with 90 minutes on the clock.
Danny Wilson, the Hartlepool manager, likened Leeds to Manchester United and while their days of competing at the upper end of the Premier League are long gone, it looks certain that they won’t be around in League One for long. “Scoring so late is a Leeds thing this season – it must be a great belief they have,†Wilson said. “They have done it on plenty of occasions this season. They have that consistency which the best teams have – they keep going. They believe they aren’t going to lose when they go out for every game.
“It was a difficult chance, but they put it away well with some conviction They have that quality – they are at the top of the tree in our division. They are the Manchester United of our league with what they can bring in and attract. It is a big club and they want to get back to where they once were.â€
Hartlepool United (4-4-2): J Budtz – E Nolan, M Nelson, G Antwi, R Elliott – I Moore, W Boland, G Liddle, R Humphreys – J Brown (sub: A Sweeney, 86min), R Barker. Substitutes not used: L Bullock, D Foley, M Robson, M Mackay. Booked: Antwi.

Leeds leave it late against Hartlepool
For the 11th time this season, Leeds produced a late goal to earn a result that helped them continue their remarkable climb from the bottom to the top of League One.
Jermaine Beckford struck his 14th goal of the campaign in the 90th minute to earn a draw that seemed unlikely for much of the preceding contest but which took his side to the top of League One, albeit for a matter of hours following the early kick-off.
(http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/graphics/2007/12/27/sfghar127.jpg)
Watching: Dennis Wise relied on a late goal for a point
The home team competed manfully with Leeds for every ball, forcing them into a performance well below the standard they have set this season and one which prompted Leeds manager Dennis Wise to wonder if some of his players had overdone their Christmas celebrations.
"I don't know if it was too much Christmas pud or what, but we just weren't at the races in the first half," Wise said. "We were a lot better in the second, but we had to rely on a late goal again for the result.
"Players have off days and you have to live with that but I don't think some of the players had prepared properly mentally, and it showed for much of the game, especially in the first half."
Michael Nelson headed Hartlepool in front in the 21 minute as he got on the end of a left-wing free-kick from Robbie Elliott, one of two former Leeds players who were outstanding against their former club. The other was Ian Moore, who fired a foot over from the edge of the area, then saw Casper Ankergren tip his shot against a post and behind for a corner in the second half.
Leeds' salvation came when Beckford got on the end of a long ball from the back and cut inside from the left before hammering a low, angled shot across goalkeeper Jan Budtz and just inside the far post.
It was a cruel ending for Hartlepool manager Danny Wilson, who said: "Leeds find this every week, of course, but we raised our game against them and I thought we had done enough for the three points. We paid for a late loss of concentration after having to defend more and more as the game wore on.
"But when you look at what they have just on the bench, you realise the quality Leeds have to call on and they are the team everybody wants to beat."
If they can get points from games in which they have been second best and not played well, as they did yesterday, Leeds' fleeting visit to the top of the table should be repeated before long.

Last-gasp specialists deny Pools
PERHAPS it was inevitable that Leeds United would nab a late goal to deny Hartlepool United victory.
With time running out and Pools looking set for a third successive home win, Leeds striker Jermaine Beckford drilled in a low drive to salvage a 1-1 draw.
It was the 12th goal scored by his team in the closing stages this season, enough to earn them 21 extra points in a campaign which began with a 15-point deduction.
Micky Nelson's second goal of the season and his second in consecutive games put Pools on top.
Both sides had chances to score before Beckford's effort, but one goal - as plenty of others have found to their cost this season - wasn't enough for Pools.
"It's not the first time it's happened.
Scoring so late is a Leeds habit this season, it must be a great belief they have,'' said Pools boss Danny Wilson. "They have done it on plenty of occasions.
"They have that consistency which the best teams have - they keep going. They believe they aren't going to lose when they go out for every game. It's the same as we were last season.
"We have again played well against one of the division's best teams.
"We keep saying it, but there's only a handful of games this season in which we haven't deserved anything.
"Overall we have defended well when we had to, limited them to few chances and it was a pleasing performance.
"We raised our game well and now we have to find that consistency and hopefully this performance will give us confidence to press on.'' Leeds boss Dennis Wise said: "In the first-half and we did not play at all. We conceded a sloppy goal which annoyed me.
"But we try to go for it, we always do. If we are drawing or losing we have nothing to lose and go for it. We scored one, yet it was probably the hardest chance Jermaine has had.'' And he was right, because even after levelling, Beckford poked a shot wide under pressure from Jan Butdz inside the six-yard area.
It took almost 20 minutes before an incident of any note, but it was one to write home about for Pools.
James Brown was felled and Robbie Elliott, the left-back whose delivery was so disappointing at Swindon last Saturday, swung over a teasing freekick.
It was met by Nelson, whose header flew across goal into the far side of the net, a repeat of his goal against Crewe.
A minute later Ian Moore, like Elliott a Leeds player of last season, crashed a shot over the bar from 20 yards.
The first Leeds chance came soon afterwards. Godwin Antwi put Willie Boland under unnecessary pressure on halfway and the visitors broke. David Prutton's pass found Tresor Kandol in space, but his touch took him wide and he could only shoot wide.
Richard Barker then put a grand chance wide when he should have made it two. Willie Boland's dink over the back four put Barker in, but he took the bouncing ball on the up and put it wide.
Barker was back in the side after his own mid-season break and certainly put a shift in. He was never afraid to get back and help his defence from set-pieces.
Leeds had hardly impressed and a searching ball cross-field by Darren Beckford beautifully found the Cyril Knowles Stand seats, summing up their game.
The next time Beckford touched the ball, however, he could easily have scored. After Pools failed to clear convincingly, the striker side-footed low at goal and Budtz's reaction was enough to kept it out.
Seconds after the restart Brown's mazy run at goal from the touchline almost brought a second.
Playing up front but soon to move to the right, Brown skipped through and beyond three defenders from the left and a touch from keeper Casper Ankergren took the sting out of the effort, allowing Rui Marques to clear.
Brown caused plenty of problems all afternoon. His intelligent running asked questions of the central defenders, while on the right he put Andy Hughes on the back foot.
Leeds had come more into the game, particuarly after the introduction of Alan Thompson to central midfield, but Pools had the chances.
Moore got away on the right after taking Barker's pass and took his chance early. His low shot beat Ankergren, raked across goal and, via a post, went for a corner. The same player then screwed a shot over from the edge of the box, when he should have been celebrating career goal number 101 after hitting his ton last weekend.
Budtz made a save of importance when left-back Hughes cracked a shot at the near post and the keeper stopped it with his legs.
In search of a late leveller, Leeds boss Wise put Tore Andre Flo into a three-man forward line.
The Sunderland flop missed a chance to score soon afterwards, curling a shot wide when put in.
But Beckford wasn't going to miss his chance on the opposite side of the area.
After Elliott's free-kick was aimed towards the top corner, but landed in the crowd at one end, a long goal kick was flicked on.
Beckford got in behind the Pools defence, and, in acres of space, picked his spot and drilled his low shot across Budtz.
At Elland Road this season Leeds secured a 2-0 win over Pools after being outplayed for long periods.
This time, Pools' dominance wasn't nearly as clear, but they again had every reason to feel aggrieved.

Blå sko..... Håper Wise klarer å temme egoet til denne fyren. Det jeg har sett av ham kan kanskje med tiden gjøre ham til en Premier League-spiller. Men er han smart, så blir han med Leeds opp istedet for å bli benkesliter i en bakgårdsklubb i PL.
Han skåret et par fantastiske mål for Scunthorpe i fjor, men fortsatt har han potensiale til å skåre fler sett med bakgrunn i alle sjansene han foreløpig brenner.
Så forøvrig den store sjansen i sluttminuttene på LUTV. Keeper reddet faktisk med siden av kroppen, ballen hadde retning mot mål....men offside altså.

Gollen til Becks.

Fint avsluttet. Vi må holde på ham her med nebb og klør. Firern til Hartlepool er imidlertid under enhver kritikk, lenge siden jeg har sett en enklere sjanse.
Nydeleg teknikk av Becks. Og vi må også gi honnør til Kandol som stussar ballen vidare. Og "presset" frå næraste forsvarar ved avslutninga er miserabel. Heldigvis for oss... :D

Svakheten med Beckford som spiss, er at han ikke virker å ha det killerinstinktet når han er innenfor 16 meteren. Det blir nærmest litt for enkelt å tuppe den rolig inn. Kanskje kan han forbedre seg der, men jeg tror aldri han vil bli den notoriske måljegeren som tupper inn mål etter mål på enkelt vis. Han liker "kanskje" litt for mye å prøve det litt uvanlige. Noe som gir tildels fine og uventede mål. Kanskje vil det veie opp i det lange løp for alle sjansene han bommer på. Sjanser som selvsagt bestemora mi kunne ha scoret på...
Han har forbedringspotensiale på visse områder. Ingen tvil om det. Men det fine med Jermaine, det "lille ekstra" har han allerede. :)
Gammelt jungelord: Når Beckford nærmer seg 16-meteren, kommer det et skudd.
Så er det bare å vente og se om det havner i eller utenfor målet.

Såg nettopp matchhighlights frå LUTV. De to-tre minuttene gir selvfølgeleig ikkje noko riktig bilde av kampen, men vi var VANVITTIG nær seier. At Becks ikkje putter på slutten er heilt utruleg!
Ellers var det ein altfor lett gåll til H'pool, kven er det som bommer totalt i duell på innlegget? Svakt!
Skåringen til Becks er klasse (på dette nivået...).

Så vannvittig nære var det nok ikke. Siste situasjonen var offside. Hadde ikke hjulpet om han hadde putta.
Og Heath tapte duellen. Og fikk høre det av Wise etterpå.
