Just watched O'Nien's high rugby tackle on Struijk in the area. Penalty, yellow card and sent to review in rugby union. This is what VAR is there for. What are they looking at?

@northernassist any news on trains heading to Manchester via Bradford interchange? Saying a safety inspection of line required but no trains leaving Leeds presently
On Bank Holiday Monday, Rodley beat Kirkstall by 27 runs in the final of the Chappell Cup.

I often see people on here from outside the football bubble bemoaning the fact that so many millions of people are obsessed with the game when there are “more important things” going on but without the release that football offers, so many would feel utterly lost and hopeless.
We all know it doesn’t “matter” in the grand scheme of things but that’s the beauty of it. Allowing yourself to care about something so deeply which you have no tangible control over, alongside hundreds of thousands of people who feel the same way as you? That’s the good stuff.
Football is the ultimate form of escapism, the opium of the masses, the opportunity to suspend the realities of life; bills, relationship problems or a job you hate and give yourself over to something which provokes a sense of childlike wonder and hope simultaneously.
Ask Palace, Newcastle, Tottenham, Bologna or Napoli fans from this season alone if the feelings and emotions they’ve had are matched by anything in normal life? I’m pretty sure their collective response would be a unanimous “no”. That doesn’t make them fools, it doesn’t act as a measure of their intelligence, it simply means they’ve allowed their minds to care about something greater than themselves in a wholehearted and emotionally vulnerable way, which I happen to think is what life is all about.
Supporting a football club is an exercise in perseverance and faith for 95% of us; those who choose to pour cold water on why that’s so important while the rest of modern society is so geared towards misery are missing the point.
Thanks for reading my ramblings. ❤️

Well what a day, days you remember for the rest of your life. Lots to do on our return to the EPL but lets just savour what this team has achieved #lufc#wearegoingup
Tomorrow’s fixture against Swansea City will be the closest game to the 25th anniversary of that tragic night in Istanbul.
Leeds fans will be turning their backs on the 25th minute as they did against Galatasaray that night and have done every anniversary since.
