NYS is not a place for the faint of heart. If it's nail-biting excitement you want, NW's side deliver it in spades!

Away from the footie for a minute:

  - Rotherham Council hang your heads in shame. Parking fees increased 100% - £3 to park on the roadside long enough to see the game. If you're trying to encourage people to visit the town centre and to support your football team, you're sure going a strange way about it!

  - Can we please get rid of that horrendous siren that sounds before kickoff? It's annoying, it's pointless and it's an embarrassment!

  - Rotherham fans gave SE a deserved great reception before the game and towards the end gave him few choruses of 'sacked in the morning' just in case he thought he had any mates left at NYS!

  - Congrats to all those Millers' fans who called Praise or Grumble - for once the entire journey home was virtually all RUFC talk rather than listening to some unintelligible Italian.

Onto the football. We started like a team who had been taking it easy for a couple of weeks. Leeds were sharp, great on the ball and comfortable in defence but their final ball was poor to the extent that I don't think Camp had a meaningful save to make in the first half. As the first half progressed we got more into it and a fabulous cross from Mattock was met by our man of the season, Lee Frecklington, who must cover more turf than anyone else in the side.

Derbyshire's sending off was a mystery to everyone around me and I look forward to seeing a replay. I am convinced that Kevin 'No Mates' Friend awarded a throw in to Rotherham immediately after the incident. It was only after the 'assaulted' defender punched the ground 6 or 7 times and the Ref was surrounded by 6 or 7 Leeds' players that he took any action against Derbs. I can only imagine he had a word in his ear from either the Linesman or the 4th official. It all looked a bit bizarre and ruined the game - or so I thought.

Rotherham's defence performed heroics keeping out the Leeds' onslaught with bodies flying everywhere. Their goal was just one of those things - a shot going nowhere diverted in off Broadfoot's backside I think. At that stage I thought that we'd be lucky to hang on for a draw.

There then followed a masterpiece of refereeing as Friend played advantage after Grant Ward had yet again been dragged down on a counter attack. Danny Ward's pinpoint cross to Frecklington was simply superb as was Freck's skill in flicking the ball past the Leeds' keeper and getting not only a penalty but also the keeper sent off. I've got a feeling that Halford claimed the ball to take the penalty because he thought he had something to prove to Mr Evans following his wilderness period after he joined us.

The rest was history but in future the record will not reveal the sheer medieval torture that we Millers' fans go through in supporting our team. Which made the final whistle and the victory all the more special, with New York New York ringing out at full volume and a vigorous performance by the WS8 can-can squad!

My only concern with today's line up - and it feels like treachery even mentioning it after such a gutsy display, is that I don't think Best and Derbyshire work too well together. Danny Ward's ability in the air and to hold the ball up would make him a starter for me everytime. I wouldn't mind seeing him start with Best - which may be the case if Derbyshire's red card is not rescinded.

Thanks for another great show NW. Perhaps we could have a supply of valium available for anyone who feels the need during the remaining games.
