BTW, It took me nearly 20 mins to get this posted as certain words that I wanted to use for the last two paragraphs had to be removed so appologies if it sounds too "freindly" towards the toohat and other fans that made those afore mentioned chants!!
Im still in shock at what I saw on Friday night and I have to admit that I was really upset about it.
My Dad lives in Leeds (has done for years) so I go up there alot after the games. I come to our games from Coventry so usually drive up, watch the MASSIVE and then continue up the M1 afterwards to go see the old man and my Girlfiend who lives in the city centre. I felt sick driving up there on friday night, I just didnt want to be anywhere near the place. I was ashamed.
The lunatic who hit Kirkland was absolutely shocking but the behaviour of a large sum of the Leeds fans (not all) but a large sum was disgusting. Chants about Turkey are a disgrace but unfortunately, their chants in general encourage this type of thing. Im not, absolutely NOT saying that Turkey chants should ever be used but when you have 4000 fans calling DJ a peodo and chanting "you killed the 96" its hardly surprising that some opposition fans will use everything they can think of to lash back.
We have had plenty of press about vile chants lately between Man U and Liverpool fans. These chants have been complained about and authoritise have tried to deal with them. Unfortunately the Leeds fans couldnt do this. Their way of dealing with it is destroying the away end of the stadium and this is the type of 'animal' behavior Dave Jones speaks about. He is wrong to brand all their supporters the same but Leeds just seem to have far more of these mindless thugs than anyone else.
I got talking to a guy in Timpsons (getting my watch repaired) and he asked if I saw the game. When I told him I was a wednesday fan and was there you could literally see the shame hit him. His exact words "oh really, oh, well, seriously, on behalf of the Leeds fans mate I just want to say sorry for what happened, we're not all like that". I felt so sorry for the poor bloke and I said I knew plenty of Leeds fans and all were genuine supporters who are not like some who were there Friday.
It was a sad day for football and a very sad day for Leeds United but something has to be done. I dont think Il be going to Elland Road
Same here, my dads a Leeds fan and so's one of his good mates, but they both strongly condemed what happened and both said they feel ashamed to be fans of LUFC and I stongly believe that the majority ARE genuine, my best mates dad and younger brother are both Leeds fans and they are the most genuine blokes you could meet and they go to every game, not heard owt from them but I'll bet they are both embarrassed that the club they love has had its name yet again tarnished by sick, vile and stupid individuals whose sole purpose in life is to act out what they get a kick from and ruin things for others, nothing more nothing less.
I remember about 13 years back me and my best mate (who's a Chelsea fan) went to watch them play Forest (the season Forest went down) at city ground and before the game we went into a pub only to be met at the door by a bloke who asked who we supported, to which we instinctively said "neither" we just goin for a drink, he let us in but then a table in there was full of blokes bragging off about how they smashed this guys face in, broke his leg et al, then a couple of others were on their phones arranging meeting places...at that point we swigged our drinks quick and left, we was only 17 at the time and was pretty sh 1t scared to say the least, thats the 1st (and hopefully last) experience ive had with mind less s c um such as them!!
Why do you feel it necessary to explain your presence in Timpson's?
Just read a post from someone on Sky Sports witch sickened me
"the so called Leeds fans that were over in the west stand who kicked down the advertising board which fell onto the Leeds fans below and narrowly avoiding a small child who spent the rest of the match crying in his dads arms, need to take a long hard look at themselves"
This just proves how sick, stupid and mindless these idiots are, someone nad even a small child could have been killed. If that was my lad i'd be doing time right now, poor little lad was probably enjoying the game and then then that...SICKENING
Great post Milan!!! I missed the game due to it being on in the middle of the day over here and work had to be done but as soon as I saw the video on YouTube I was appalled but not really surprised!?,
Leeds have a reputation and this attracts these brainless idiots, it is unfortunate for the majority but at some point they have to stand up for themselves!! How many Leeds fans did he pass on his way to his seat and not one did anything.
Also if the numpties we have who sit in the Leppings Lane end of North Stand don't tone it down then we too will end up in trouble as well. The chanting has always been there, but after the Hillsborough tragedy it seemed to become less prevalent at S6, maybe it takes incidents like this to stop it again.
On the whole a bad night for football.
I don't know izzy but Im guessing that explaining my explanation would be even crazier
