What a load of bollox....good game spoilt by a rubbish ref that Leeds should have won...hardly the end of the world that they didn't.
Another 30,000 crowd made sure there was a cracking atmosphere.
Day made even better with the Rhinos winning at OT, Wales losing in Cyprus and England beating the French in Paris.
Leeds in the clear after pitch invasion
EXCLUSIVE
By Simon Mullock 14/10/2007
Leeds have escaped punishment for the pitch invasion which marred their final Championship home game of the season in April.
Quote:
The Elland Road club, docked 15 points after going into administration when their relegation to League One was confirmed by the 1-1 draw with Ipswich, will not be censured for the scenes which saw the game delayed for 30 minutes.
Sunday Mirror Sport has learned that disciplinary chiefs are happy to let Leeds and the West Yorkshire Police mete out their own justice to the offending fans.
An FA spokesman said: "It has always been our policy to punish the people who committed the offences rather than clubs themselves."
West Yorkshire Police released photographs of those fans who ran on to the pitch and have made 17 arrests.
One of the four fans who have already been before the courts was handed a five-year ban from all football grounds.
Another eight people have been charged with offences relating to the pitch invasion, while the remaining five fans arrested have been released on police bail.

That FA bit is a load of rubbish...we were banned from playing at ER in the 70's for a justified pitch invasion to explain to the ref he had made a cock up.
