Guest SE Londoner Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Leeds fans a disgrace yesterday yes...but this seems to have been quickly forgotten hasn't it? http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Clint-Hill-accuses-Sheffield-Wednesday-fans-of-attacking-him-after-Crystal-Palace-relegated-the-Owls-to-League-One-article413647.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesbarbeux Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 (edited) Good point. I was there and only a few yards from that utterly disgraceful episode. However, it in no way detracts from the disgusting behaviour of such a large number of moronic, mindless, vacuous, malodouress, perverted, idiotic, ill-educated imbeciles that announced that they were goung to cause trouble and did so from well before kick off. The Kirkland debacle will hit the headlines, but there was so much more.......general threatening and yobbish behaviour outside the ground, incessant utterly disgusting chants and taunts, pitch invasion, wilful damage, seats ripped out, advertising hoardings dropped on their own fans, bottles thrown. The list goes on, and this was not a small minority! Yes, I take your point but believe me, there was no comparison!

barmyowl1212 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Clint Hill was only chased off the pitch. He was celebrating with Palace fans after we had been set down. Kirkland was minding his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SparkyOwl Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Just like the fact it was the Palace fans Invading the pitch that preceded and incited this has been forgotten? Go back to your green house pal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Very good point and those fans deserved their punishment. Palace fans were allowed to enter the pitch to celebrate and taunt the weds fans Weds fans were not singing sick songs about jimmy savile & Dave Jones. It's not just that fan that gives Leeds fans their status of being scum, its those songs...and their reputation through the years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lawrie Maddens Hump Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Leeds fans will continue to look for excuses to justify their actions last night, it's inevitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ever the pessimist Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Very true.The design of leppings lane im afraid makes these things possible. You can not blame bricks and mortar for the lack of grey matter of people. The design of auschwitz made inhumanity possible. The people made it real. Before anyone goes mental, I am not comparing mass murder with pushing a keeper, merely the idea of blaming architecture for behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sheffield_dave Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 So singing about their fans that got murdered in Turkey is ok? No more or less OK than singing about Heysel, Munich or peadophiles. But it's just words at the end of the day. The idea that a couple of hundred people singing about Istanbul excuses the behaviour of Leeds fans last night needs to be quashed right now. Go and talk to Peter Beagrie if thats your line of thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

just visiting Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Leeds fans will continue to look for excuses to justify their actions last night, it's inevitable. There are no excuses, absolutely disgusted with the away support yesteday. I sat in a pub, head in hands when I should of been celebrating an underserved equaliser. After 26 years supporting the club I've never felt at such a low point, embarrassed by the whole lot of them. F**kin' fuming, lock him up for 5 years and a year each for every one that invaded the pitch. Scum of Elland Road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All right minded people feel the same, well said mate and good to hear condemnation from your neck of the woods. We all know that this was not perpetrated by all Leeds fans, but the fact remains that far too many were involved for this to be an isolated incident. Just look at some of the photos on other threads where an innocent young lad was hit by a falling advertising hoarding....and watched by a couple of coppers too! This sort of stuff has earned your travelling support the reputation it has...and they damned well lived up to it last night and not only during the match either!

Ever the pessimist Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Agree but the design of the stand and its layout lets people move about so these things can and do happen So, fences erected? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigdan2003 Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 So singing about their fans that got murdered in Turkey is ok? Haven't said that. And that's a disgrace too. Likewise so is the hillsborough and Munich chants that Leeds have chanted down the years. But I think the majority of Leeds fans were singing about DJ and Savile....you could hear it loud and clear.

The sad thing is, it was far more than just the one that assaulted Kirkland and the few that ran onto the pitch. The "decent" Leeds fans last night were probably the minority.

Wednesday_Jack Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 End if of the day they are pure scum...always have been always will be!! Stop digging up the past and stop been do gooders...can you you remember when Wednesday did this??? FFS they were out of order last night and need banning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dani_armo Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Not manu will agree but other than the attack on Kirkland, the scum fans didn't really do no worse than what Wednesdayites do away from home - remember rochdale?? How many times did we run on the pitch last season after scoring(Walsall away)?? Etc etc Watching them last night is probably pretty similar to how we look away from home. It's just cus they are Leeds and we hate em Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
