Shelbourne 2 - 2 Leeds United - Lineups
The game is over and so are our updates. I'd like to thank all the email contributors and viewers tonight and look forward to your company again. From all the Extratime crew, good night!! And remember, spread the word, and email us any comments or suggestions you may think helpful!!!
FULL TIME SHELS 2 - 2 LEEDS UNITED
21:29.... The game is crawling to an end to be honest. The last 15 minutes was murdered by changes and the pace taken out of the game.
21:27.... I'm told that mentioning Ferdinand and Smith is a dangerous move to a Leeds fan. I'd better hush on that so. The call in the stadium is "Stewards to end of match positions please"
21:25.... Time is ticking away, 5 minutes of normal time remaining
21:22.... The last time I seen Leeds play in a league game, the most impressive player on the pitch was ... Alan Smith... Rio Ferdinand scored both goals if I recall correctly and that gave them a 2-0 win over Liverpool in Anfield.
21:19.... INTO THE last 10 minutes of the contest. Can Leeds put out a winner? Can Shels come from two down to win three two!!
21:19.... More changes for Shelbourne. Rory Kavanagh on for Colin OBrien. Murray on for Cassidy. Ross Moran on for Synott. The madness of friendlies.
21:17....Yorkie on the email again Like you say it is a friendly and it is good for Grayson to see what works and what doesn't. Looking forward to the final part come on Leeds - I'm thinking the Leeds viewers should become honorary Shels fans and visit me every Friday night for our major update service!!! Adopt a club!!
21:15.... For Leeds fans, Shelbourne are currently top of the second tier of Irish football. They beat promotion rivals UCD last weekend by a single goal to nil. Bates with a free kick well saved.
21:14.... Bates with a cross from the left, looked like the Latvian was about to get a strike on goal first time, but a great block from Huntington
21:13.... Elliot and Darville on now for Leeds United. 73 minutes played in this Tuesday night friendly.
21:09.... To quote an emailer in, it seems to be all going "Pete Tong" for Leeds, however to be fair, the changes have ruined Leeds and Shels have gotten that bit better. Leeds were a little too relaxed but it is pre season and they were leading 2-0.
21:07.... Flood Junior, Maurice Farrell and Mark O'Reilly on for Shels for McMenaman, Baker, and Costigan
21:05.... Well Shels are now level and by all means we have a game on our hands. Seems like a pretty solid game for a friendly.
21:01....GOAL SHELS - David Crawley - Penalty - 58 minutes Peno for shels for handball. Crawley places it and goal!! Left footed to keepers right
From Fingers:Snodgrass and Bechio on in the second half... Incidentally, big Jacky Charlton was in Cayman very recently for a shindig. He went down a storm with the English and Irish. He's ex Leeds and an Irish citizen by all accounts. He gets my vote. - I was waiting for a Jack reference... took a while.. incidently Charlton is younger than Trapatoni!!
20:57.... The Latvian fed Baker in the build up for the Shels goal. White with a shot blocked now
20:55.... For Leeds, White is very dangerous with the ball at his feet for Leeds, beating men with ease every time
20:53....GOAL SHELS - Guy Bates - 48 minutes
Baker cross from the right. Bates at back post, low down header, goal!!!!!
20:52.... Hughes past 3 or 4 Shelbourne players in a mazy run, ending with Doherty blocking the shot at the near post - and out for a corner - which comes to nothing
20:51....SECOND HALF Has begun....
20:49.... Teams back out, I have had my cake, and my tea is in hand. Guy Bates on for Franco (Shels). Attendance figures are reading 3,343. Johnson, Crowe, Huntington, Parker and Prutton on for Leeds now. We will attempt to get who departed for Leeds now...
20:41....Be sure and enter our competition for to win two tickets to the Shelbourne -v- Millwall match in Tolka Park on Tuesday. You can enter by clicking here. Good luck!!!
As Michael Caine would say, not a lot of people know this, but Leeds United nickname is 'The Whites' or 'United' and they were formerly known as 'The Peacocks'.
From Ken's nephew (aka Yorkie):Well there we are Beckford has to stay lets hope that he has that frame of mind for the season if no one comes in for him.Great reporting will send you an half time orange !!! - Well Yorkie, it's a half time cuppa tea for me, and a chocolate and ginger slice, all very posh don't ya know. Back in a few minutes with second half build up and the full second half... keep mailing !!!
Half Time - Shelbourne 0 - 2 Leeds United
20:27.....GOAL LEEDS UNITED - Jermain Beckford - 42 minutes
Leeds double their advantage with another goal from Jermain!! Great work from Robinson , beating his man on the left, low cross and first time finish from Beckford.
20:23..... For those of you new to the site, we are here every week bringing you live coverage of games featuring League of Ireland sides. We love hearing for you and you can either register on the site and post comments below or email in at extratimelive@gmail.com
20:22..... Beckford's header comes off the underside of crossbar, Hughes with the delicious cross from the right
Yorkie emails in again Well if Uncle Ken ever needed a reason why he should go back to the table with Beckford then he now has one. At the end of the day we will not get out of this league without him and the goals he can score. Johhny Giles for me I guess on the player front although never saw him play...
20:20.... Jordan McMillan off for Shels, replaced by Michael Synott.
Fingers shows evidence of a rich sense of humour with the first Irish LUFC legend nomination:Ian Harte. Legendary speed and tackling ability..... - Personally when I think of Ian Harte I can't tear my thoughts away from Korea, against Spain... oh dear oh dear...
20:17.... Leeds are pressing now. Robinson delivers low cross into area, Beckford is close yet again, but cleared by Kevin Doherty.
20:13....GOAL LEEDS UNITED - Jermain Beckford - 28 minutes
Leeds have taken the ..lead!!! Jermain Beckford. Who else....Beckford shot from edge of box right into the corner. Shels keeper Vinny Whelan didn't even move!! 1-0. Leeds now make a change. Aldy White on for Showumni now
20:11.... It's all Jermain Beckford, and from the corner his attempted bicycle kick goes wide. Showumni is winning everything in the air for Leeds
20:10.... GOAL LINE CLEARANCE!! Beckford beats the offside trap, rounds Whelan, but Jordan McMillan for shels is there and clears it off the line and out for a corner
20:08.... Question of the hour goes to our Leeds United viewers, who do they think has been their greatest Irish player to date?
20:06.... Shelbourne fail to make anything happen with their first corner. Play resumes with Leeds attacking...
20:04.... Hughes and Robinson work a quick free kick and earn a corner - which also comes nothing - or as our first email suggests "dissipates into another phase of play". Nice. Shels win their first corner.
20:02.... The corner comes to nothing. A phrase I have come to use too often and now despise. Email me alternatives please.
20:01.... 16 minutes gone and we are all square. There is a sizable Leeds following in Tolka Park tonight. First corner of the game goes to Leeds.
You can contact us with your comments by emailing extratimelive@gmail.com
19:58.... It's all Leeds United really so far, but they are giving away silly frees whenever Shels look to attack. This fixture ended in a 1-1 draw last season.
19:55.... Leeds attack again, with Grella down the right with a cross for Beckford but it's straight at Whelan from 8 yards out!!
From Morton Golf Society, who are obviously looking forward to seeing P Harrington lift the Claret Jug again this week:Well at that price (8 million) its good business for Leeds, thats if Uncle Ken allows Grayson to spend the money on new talent.
19:53.... Leed United are sporting light and dark blue for those concerned with such matters, Shels are in their regular red.
19:51.... Leeds Mike Grella with a shot saved by Vinny Whelan after good work on the left by Enoch Showumni. I'm going to enjoy misspelling most of the names tonight.
Our regular stats guru Alan Dooley chipping in with a comment - Delph has been priced at £8 million by Simon Grayson, with Everton and Aston Villa keeping close tabs. Surely a move will happen before the end of the month. League One or Premiership? I'm sure Fabian has his eye on a move.
19:49.... Shels keeper Vinny Whelan nearly caught when he left area to clear a through ball. Defenders recovered well
19:46....GAME ON Teams are all set and we are off!! Shelbourne take on Leed United, full coverage here on Extratime.ie for the next 90 minutes plus
Yorkie has emailed in, responding to our Shels Caymen IslanderWell I care who Delph is and we want to keep him!. Looking at the team news testing the water then in the 1st half and if it goes pear shaped, bring on the main team in the 2nd half ! Here goes nothing !!!
19:41.... We are now only moments from the kick off. The teams are not on the pitch yet. The main stand is more or less full. 250 people in the Riverside or so. Atmosphere building.
19:36.... We now have the line-ups available below. Anto Flood's brother Joey, and Mark O'Brien's brother Colin featuring in this Shels squad. Georgescu returns for Shels after signing a few days ago.
Deargach, amazingly also in the Cayman Islands has different priorities on his mind -
I don't know or care who Fabian Delph is and just want to make sure Bisto gets through the game without getting injured again. Love to hear the Shels brigade are out there too.
Ciaran Kelly was also in touch: Any info on the rumour that Shels are getting (Michael) Synnott from Dundalk on loan. And what trialists will be playing tonight??
No news on trialists yet, but we can confirm that Synott is on the bench tonight.
Yorkie once more: Looking forward to hearing the team news - according to news over here Grayson is set to play two teams, one in each half.It will be interesting to see Beckford's reaction and indeed the fans towards him.
Email in from Fingers, who is obviously using his digits to splurge all his ill-gotten gains in his current location:
Also found your link, its lunchtime here in the Cayman Islands and I'll be watching the matchtracker all afternoon. Hope the crowd get a good game. Could be (Fabian)Delph's last in a Leeds shirt the way rumours are going……..
Fingers
19:03.... For those interested in matters LOI, Declan "Fabio" O'Brien has gone on loan to St. Pats from Dundalk. In Tolka Park, the crowd has swelled, nay slightly raised to 100 or so punters. There is expected to be a large Leeds following at this game however. 40 minutes to kick off.
Yorkie, from Leeds surprisingly, emailed in From a Leeds fan back home found your link and looking forward to the match unfolding good luck to both teams. - Good to have you with us, be sure and spread our link around. The more the merrier. Leeds are now regular pre-season guests of Shelbourne, with CEO Joe Casey an avid Leeds follower. You can read Joe's thought here
18:46.... It's an hour before kick off now and as we sit and await kick off, we are joined in Tolka Park by 50 or so other early birds. The weather is nice, in that it is not raining, which is about as much as can be hoped for with thunder storms expected.
18:00.... Welcome to the Extratime coverage of Shelbourne versus Leeds United. I will be bringing you all the action as it happens. You can email me asking any questions you may have about the game or in general at extratimelive@gmail.com. Kick off is at 7:45
