A well known referee, probably cause he makes controversial decisions.

History:

However Gus then began to lose the plot whe he said of the night's referee,

"I don't want to see Andy D'Urso at a Leeds match again.

"He cannot forget what he did to Dennis and me as players and it has continued into management."

Poyet explained that both he and Dennis Wise were dismissed by D'Urso as players and he claimed that it was an ongoing vendetta, commenting that it was "personal and very sad. He is always laughing on the pitch but won't give any hard decisions... When there is something complicated in the box, he won't give anything at all."

F*ckinh hell Donny not messing about all over Leeds!!

 

[Horton's halftime iceberg]

After the first 15 minutes, Donny are all over them, Leeds keeper has kept them in it. Problem is Leeds have a knack of holding on and grabing a goal.

Donny should be up by now.

Donny playing possession football which produces fewer chances. If Donny go into the lead they will be difficult to beat them. But, conversely, if Leeds score first, Donny will not create so many chances to get back into the game.

Loads of Leeds in the Donny end

Looks like Donny did not sell out their allocation

Leeds fans Are easily the loudest fans so far.They put Hull and City ro shame

Both sides being cagey as the game approaches half-time. Undertsandable as the first goal may well win it. I think the score will be 1-0.

Disagree with that.Donny have carved Leeds open quite a few times.They are playing well

Donny's top scorer (Hayter) has only scored 10 this season, he had a golden opportunity wasted by his first touch, this could be the story of the game, look at all the chances wasted by Doncaster because of their first touch, its generous of the commentator to be rewarding the keeper every time when he hasn't actually made a save, they've all be tackles more or less.
Looks like this could be Leeds game unless they have a natural finisher to bring on and that definitely isn't Mark McComeonanddosomething

 

[Robot Chicken]

Penguin reporting from Wembley. Good first half. All the Leeds fans in the Donny end have been herded behind the goal. No aggro. The Donny support is rubbish. I'm impressed with the Leeds support today.

 

[Da Man Clay]

1-0 Donny!!!
