Leeds United have a proud history of mechanised smothering, of centre-backs patrolling halfway and ticking off efficient 2-0 wins.
I'm not sure the players were as sanguine as Daniel Farke. They are the ones on the pitch feeling the purgatory, and while it might be their own fault, that was always the point of purgatory anyway.
When, years from now, fans are still remembering screamers by him, Mowatt can be satisfied that he did what he set out to do in football: be noticed.
Just give it Colin until the end of the season.
On 27th October, 1906, a young Leeds City footballer died during a match against Burnley. That much was known. But over the years what else was known about him has become mixed up and forgotten. Here is the story of the death of David 'Soldier' Wilson, and the story of his life.
The Rangers players were each on a £20,000 bonus, but Howard Wilkinson wasn't thinking that far ahead. He said he didn't even know how many teams would be in the Champions League. "I was too scared to think about it."
That stats for Joel Piroe and Nahki Wells backed up what the eyes saw, the red team being dominated out of attacking, the yellow team playing itself out.
The team playing at Rangers were the champions, and after 69 seconds Gary McAllister made winning the European Cup feel like a real possibility.
You can dress up the Champions League with all the pre-game fireworks you want. Give me the random anthemlessness of a Tuesday night watching goalies going half-Rachubka and Ao Tanaka reinventing the sublime.
