KivoOwl Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Seems to be happening right now on Twitter/phone ins. Re-writing what happened. Well I was on the Kop and saw - - ALL of the Leeds fans sing "Dave Jones is a paedophile", "There's only one Jimmy Savile" and "Jimmy Savile will shag who he wants" - DOZENS ripping up advertising hoardings and threw them onto their own fans on the lower tier - DOZENS ripping seats from their bolts and threw them at police, home fans and onto the pitch, as well as other missiles - HUNDREDS charging stewards and police towards the front of the stand - DOZENS invading the pitch and one attacking a #swfc player - Leeds manager Neil Warnock then proceed to lead his players to applaud the visiting 'fans' And all this at the Leppings Lane end of the pitch, where 96 people were crushed behind fences, fences put up because morons across the country acted just like Leeds fans did tonight. So don't even THINK about trying too shift the blame, you were an absolute disgrace, and no punishment will be enough. Disgusted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheffield_dave Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 This is The Guardian's take on it. "The supporter ran on to the pitch and assaulted Kirkland before running back into the seats behind the goal. Kirkland collapsed and had to receive lengthy treatment before continuing. United supporters had also attempted to confront their Sheffield counterparts in an adjoining stand and with a number, almost unbelievably, having chanted in praise of Jimmy Savile, it left a thoroughly unpleasant taste in the mouth and the club will surely face a Football Association inquiry at the very least." 5 Live appear to have made a bit of a *** of themselves tonight but the rest of the media seem to have their heads screwed on. Doesn't matter what Leeds are saying on Twitter. Nobody is listening because they're bottom feeding filth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey_wells Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Situation made worse being a Friday night match?? We all know how much being pissed up fuels trouble. Christ, even I'm sat here after a few ciders feeling pretty riled up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robster_owl Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Well said and no amount of shifting blame to fans chanting (whilst immoral from some Owls fans), to assaulting a player will ultimately be the order once the Authorities get into it all... Well I hope that's the case but knowing our luck it won't be that straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disgusted I've had texts from Derby and Wolves fans who watched on telly saying this. Worst behaviour I have ever seen in 27 years of watching football. Songs about Turkey were beyond the pale, but they were miles out of line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest utOwlz Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 rogering SCUMMY Leeds fans! Heard them singing "he shag who he wants" but didnt know they were on about JS!! Even worse! I hope Bates takes them into oblivion and they go into admin. Hate Leeds even more now. If Dave Jones is still our manager when we play them again in april, he will need a police escort i reckon. They should make them play a game at home with no fans, because why only ban them from away grounds, because that is also punishing the other club that would need the Leeds away support revenue, PUNISH LEEDS! Scummy rogerers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayneTheOwl Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Did I imagine it but did Varney not take part in Warnock's little publicity stunt? Your not imagining it, all credit to Varney, he walked down the tunnel and will no doubt never play for Leeds again. They can send him our way, he clearly has pride and passion in his game, just like the rest of our team tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest foreverSWFC Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Should never have been played on a friday night. Local Derby, rivalry, with the reputation of Leeds suppoters absolutely bonkers! The power of Sky television. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Triplej2 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Can anyone here honestly see Wednesday fans singing the Saville song if he was from Sheffield? It wasn't just a few singing it, it was virtually the whole stand. Ihonestly think this sums up the sickness found in leeds fans as a collective. They're just wrong in the head in that city.

Ronnie Starling Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Have a listen to 5 live on iplayer 10.30pm onwards. It was a damage limitation exercise for Leeds. John Mann MP states the West and North Stands should be shut. He claims he has watched 1000s of games. Well he should realise then that Leeds should just be fooked off.

Guest wewantsturrockback Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 absolute walkers the lot of htem. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/20012421 MP (says it all really!) blaming the wednesday fans! ridiculous. I dont honestly know if there was istanbul chanting, i didn't hear it, but obviously I wouldnt condone that if some idiots were singing it. however, that does not condone punching a keeper, tearing up seats and ad boards and throwin them, invading the pitch, congratulating said cowardly keeper puncher etc..... oh sorry my apologies, Colin said it was only one idiot - I must have been mistaken thinking it was a large majority of their fans...
