But it was another of his catchphrases which seemed most appropriate at the Keepmoat Stadium last night.

There is much to admire about the finesse of Doncaster Rovers as their manager and chairman never tire of explaining, but in the words of Dad's Army's eccentric stalwart, the club from South Yorkshire don't like it up 'em.

Attractive teams have seductive tendencies and Doncaster like to think of themselves as the most charming team on display in League One.
At Elland Road in January, Leeds were guilty of allowing that reputation to intimidate them unnecessarily and bring about a 1-0 defeat.

The game still rankles with the players who believe they were beaten before the first whistle sounded.

But the loss incurred by a combination of Doncaster's quality and United's excessive respect for their credentials was redressed last night during a game which questioned how far talent alone can carry a club.

Rovers, in the eyes of manager Sean O'Driscoll, are the most accomplished team in their division and they were the beauty to United's beast.

Doncaster did not lack flamboyance at the Keepmoat Stadium. But what of their nerve and what of their future?
Assessments of class, as Gary McAllister stated on Monday, will carry more value and credence at the end of the season. Talk, as usual, is cheap.

When the fixture fulfilled last night was postponed in February it seemed possible that United might stand to benefit and their 1-0 victory, which cannot be measured in value, maximised the potential of a delay which came at their lowest ebb.
Those absent frost sheets two months ago are no longer the source of anger that they were.

Yet it was not certain to be so. Relieved by the availability of
Jermaine Beckford, who was suspended for the postponed game in February, McAllister was beset by yet more chronic complications last night.
Rui Marques and David Prutton, two pivotal cogs in his machine, were declared unfit by United's medical staff, as was Darren Kenton by the time their team sheet was released.
Three enforced alterations threatened to encourage Doncaster's swagger, but the faultless contribution of those pulled forward from the support trenches was all that McAllister could have asked for.

The bombardment from Rovers, though heavy and sustained, ended without any casualties.
There were times when the damage seemed likely to be severe, and never more so than at the start of either half.
Doncaster took an immediate grip of the first period and could have scored on three separate occasions early in the second, but their dedication to patient football also exposed a tendency to over-complicate their attacks.

United's organised defence enticed O'Driscoll's players down cul-de-sacs and dead ends and on other occasions McAllister's players simply got lucky.


But so competitive were Leeds that O'Driscoll's assertion that Doncaster should have won by a "cricket score" did not really tally.
Rovers' chances were clearer and more numerous and two difficult penalty decisions went in United's favour, but McAllister's players showed safer hands in the slips.
The game's only goal was delightful and it was of absolute importance that United scored first, the only means by which Doncaster's confidence would be shaken.

A clumsy foul by Paul Green on Jonathan Douglas in the 20th minute presented Leeds with a free-kick, but not one which appeared eminently promising.

The angle towards Neil Sullivan's goal was tight and the distance from goal unhelpful, but a deft sweep of Alan Sheehan's left foot flicked the ball past Sullivan's hand and into the far corner of his net.
Against the run of play was a suitable cliche. The game had been played out predominantly in United's half before the goal and Doncaster crawled over Leeds for a frantic period after Sheehan's effort.
Casper Ankergren blocked a shot from James Coppinger with one hand and Neil Kilkenny found himself in the perfect position to nod Matt Mills' header off the line.

But, under the pressure they had planned to avoid, Doncaster's composure was not that of the team talked up so readily by O'Driscoll.
Unlike the ridiculously one-sided contest at Elland Road, United were unwilling to allow Rovers' midfield the freedom of the pitch.
It was, however, unrealistic to expect that Doncaster would be contained all evening and the opening six minutes of the second half were torrid moments for McAllister and his players.

Richie Wellens drilled a low shot past Ankergren's goal after running on to Jason Price's knock-down and Brian Stock's corner deflected against a post with the slightest of touches which appeared to come from the head of Bradley Johnson.

The margins were as fine when a cross from Stock in the 51st minute evaded Paul Heffernan's head four yards from goal and was thumped over the bar by Steve Roberts, who had appeared silently at the back post.
but United's defending was largely impeccable and their counter-attacks were mounted with intelligence and vision.

As desperate as Leeds were to protect their goal, they could not have been accused of sitting on the lead.

The best of their attempts in the second half came from Jonathan Howson, whose shot from outside the box cleared the bar by a fraction.
but United's inability to produce a second goal forced McAllister's players to continue to look over their shoulders.

With 11 minutes remaining, Price's sliding tackle flicked the ball away from Ankergren's arms but the first touch of substitute James Hayter lifted the ball into the crowd from a position where a warmer striker would have scored.

It was not a night when Doncaster's class carried them to the heights of O'Driscoll's ambition.

Their manager will still trust in the possibility of promotion, but after an inspirational performance at the Keepmoat , so too will Leeds.
McAllister's tenure is bringing palpable improvement to Elland Road, but for all the steps forward, he needed a result which set the cat among the pigeons.

Last night's victory will frighten the flock and when McAllister and O'Driscoll said au revoir, it was perhaps a case of see you soon.
