<div class="mxb"> <div class="sh"> FA to probe Leeds pitch invasion </div> </div> <font size="2"> The Football Association has confirmed it will launch an investigation into the pitch invasion by Leeds fans that marred Saturday's 1-1 draw at Ipswich. </font> <font size="2">Several hundred fans spilled on to the pitch and forced a 30-minute delay after a late Ipswich equaliser all but sealed Leeds' relegation to League One. </font></p> <font size="2">However, FA chiefs said it <u>"was highly unlikely"</u> a points deduction at the start of next season could be enforced. </font></p> <font size="2">Leeds are three points adrift of safety with one match to play. </font></p> <font size="2">And with their goal difference of -24 far worse than Hull's -15, only a miracle on the last day of the season could keep the Whites in the Championship. </font></p> <font size="2"> <table width="208" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" align="right"> <tbody><tr> <td style="width: 5px"></td> <td class="sibStdQuote"> <div> <div class="mva"> We'd make sure the club is taking the right steps to ensure it doesn't happen again </div> </div> <div class="mva"> <div class="mva">FA spokesman Mark Hooper </div> </div> </td> </tr> </tbody></table> </font></p> <font size="2">FA spokesman Mark Hooper said: "In the first instance it's a criminal offence to encroach on the pitch and we will be liaising with the police on that matter. </font></p> <font size="2">"We will be making various enquiries.

"Highly unlikely" to get a points deduction. does that mean the hooligans have got away with it? Sounds like it. So relieved that Leeds didn't score from the restarting corner otherwise they'd have got away with that as well.
I thought that. I wondered at what point (time) he would officially say the match was abandoned and the score stood.
the FA will probably have told him to keep waiting all night if he had to and will be giving them a penalty every 5 minutes next week
nice attempt at the panorama little tip for u next time bud... if your camera has a manual mode take a pic at the brightest area and take the exposure settings there and then set that up in manual mode. Then when you move the camera through the stages it will stay a constant exposre through the sequence and you wont get the camera changing the settings and giving u the dark light effect.
RE: nice attempt at the panorama my camera hasnt got panorama, its just 4 seperate pictures that i tried to join together (lol)
