Good Game!

Doncaster Rovers
comment on the article

Well just watched the game on Sky and as a neutral really enjoyed it. I know that many will not agree but I thought that the Ref was spot on and really had not a lot of choice in the sending off. Thought Taffy Price was excellent and for the Shrimpers Barnard looked very useful...but a good honest game of football.
Think you have the edge when it comes to home, good stadium and good fan base I feel will be a major boost in a very close encounter...but I hope you guys will rise to the occasion and win. Your opponents, Carlisle ( I know stand by for the Leeds bashing....whatever), will prove to be a really good final and I really find it hard to predict a result here. Anyway for us neutrals keep it going and may the best team win..that is Donny or Carlisle!

steam PETER Clarke, not Paul; the head butt was against Charlie Mulgrew, not Clarke; the empty seats in the corner are always left empty.

from a neutral point of view, 0-0 sets the second leg up perfectly.

Oh my, as if people are just dissmissing The mighty Whites like this ha ha do so at your peril and nice to see The "Rovers" cant sell 12 hundred tickets in a play off!! sit back in yer arm chairs and enjoy playing against a big club this season as we won't be down here with the unwashed any longer than this season!!! Leeds v Southend final Only coz Carlisle were unlucky enough to draw us first. Donny have out played there self so far but it couldn't last, you need fans=money=talent=results

Oh gosh Leeds Fan in peace here.
But don't you really hate it when people like 'The White Viking' boast about their team and make all the other fans look like that. Im all for a healthy bit of banter but come on, you have to agree you look like an egotistical *Naughty word*. Just to say were not all like him smiley
But heres to a great game smileycheersbubbly

Another Leeds fan here trying to restore some pride...
Good call Bradley, there's plenty non arrogant Leeds fans around. Just because we have a bigger stadium and fan base does not automatically gift us with promotion, as Watford spectacuarly proved a few years back. That aside, i think we can beat Carlisle, given the contrast in form, however the final could be a tough one.

I was at the game and yes we only took 800+ but as someone said it was a long round trip on a working day - plus on sky too..

at 0-0 it's set up for a cup final atmosphere this coming friday..

southend did look lively going forward, but we created plenty too, especially in the second half.. didn't see what wound Heffs up, but no excuses..

can't believe pricey missed that one when clean through...

as for the final, well any of the 4 teams could win it.. form counts for nowt, and in some respects so does performance - its a cliche but its goals that win matches..!! thats why I worry for doncaster.. we don't concede many - but we don't score enough either..
