I was at the game I was very close to crying I must admit. Fitting tribute for the lad I think it took a lot for the fans to recover from that, I had a lump in my throat and couldnt shout in the 1st half! Only thing what was wrong with sky was that disgraceful Arthurs question at the end to Demetriou, I thought JD answered it impecabley.
I take my hat off to the SKY Sports team in their wondeful handling of such a terrible situation, especially to Eddie Hemmings for his part in introducing the moving interview with Leon's parents. Having done eulogies (spelling?) at funerals for relatives of mine, I fully understand how difficult speaking in public on such a sad occassion is.
Had to listen at work to Radio Leeds. 100% respectfull, gave a very good audio discription of the tribute. Had me in tears. You could hear a train passing it was that quiet in the stadium.
Fast forward the iplayer to just over 46mins if you want to hear it.
Hope thats right (i'm not good at this post link stuff)

i have never heard a game so flat for atmosphere...looking back it may have been a game too soon but it has to carry on..congrats to saints (nice strawberry blonde for james graham) and after my comments on an earlier thread about pryce, i thought that his behaviour and interview came over well...shame about the so called "chants!" from our beloved chavs!
