Worse than Wimbledon in 1975 (then we drew)

Alot worse!

I was watching setanta this morning and they had someone in from the papers talking about the game the guy said "its always nice for us all when Leeds lose, but this was even sweeter"

How embarrasing.







Oopsy.

It was 86 when he wore the pot thing on his wrist though, right?

They should have made them for fans to buy. There was a craze to be sold there. Like those car flags people always buy whenever we actually play in a tourny.

Fake wrist pots. Could have been the new yo-yo's.

Only joking

Might've been funnier if you could spell his name correctly.

OK added an "A" by mistake

It was funny though.

Agreed!! Rain or not, they're "professional" footballers!

Kinda puts England RL been hammered by Oz into perspective! At least we were hammered by better professionals than us!

Also... it wasn't quite as embarrassing as hearing the Leeds Fans chanting "ITV is fcking sht" down the commentators mics!

Made us look like a city full of scratters.

ITV is pi$$ poor when it comes to broadcasting football though.

I agree!! I was flicking between the Leeds match and the Utd/City derby. And the quality of broadcast was MILES apart. I mean, MILES!!

Still doesn't make Leeds look very good though does it! I hate hearing our accent on TV!

I hear that you couldn't see the game because of the rain on the camera? FFS that's basics, surely the cameraman / editor can see the rain like everyone else, it only takes 2 seconds to give the lens a wipe.

Leeds fans dont do themselves any favours with regard to the singing abuse at ITV. It was funny though. www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/l ... 4747216.jp

I've always hated ITV.

Can't even wipe the bleeding camera lens.

I thought the ITV chant would have been funny if I'd have been at the game but it was quite embarrasing that you knew it was our fans on tv singing it. Was in the paper that ITV have apologised for it!

I now don't get your point. I oringally thought it was that you don't like hearing hearing foul language on the Television on a Sunday afteroon, but You've confused me now.

Do you just not want Leeds fans to sings then full stop?

Yeah it was funny, granted! I'd just rather it wasn't Leeds (as a City and a Club) getting the bad name for it.

No it was 2 separate issues... (I realise it reads confusing now I've read it again!)

1) I didn't like the swearing, and it was clear that it was Leeds Fans which makes us as a city look like a bunch of hooligans.

2) I cringe when I hear the Leeds accent on TV (gameshows, interviews etc). I also have a strong Leeds accent, and don't think there's anything wrong with it! I just always cringe that's all. (As you do when you hear/see yourself and think "Do I sound like that??"icon_wink.gif

I dont think anyone can think any worse of Leeds than they already did tbh.

I rewound the sky+ and played it again I was that amused.

Leeds Utd have got that reputation anyway. That's why they have the most arrests at games and came top in the "most hated fans" poll.

I thought every Leeds fan loved the fact that everbody hates us?

Yahoo Answers;

Q: Why does everyone hate Leeds United? I could answer my own question here but am interested what other fans say...

A: For most football fans the origin of the hatred of Leeds United comes from the 1970s when they won the league and were doing well in Europe. They were reknowned for having very aggressive tactics and injuring lots of the best players of rival clubs, in fact it is widely acceptaed that one of their match tactics was to seriously injure the playmaker of each team they faced.

They did other things to antagonise the wider footballing community - changing their kit from Blue and Yellow to all white so thay looked like Real Madrid for example, wearing tassles on their socks etc.

But in the main the biggest reason for the hatred is their fans, they have destroyed the away sections of many grounds, hold the record for the number of pitch invasions by any league club, wrecked Bournemouth in the 1980s and have generally been a bunch of hooligans ever since.

The example of Saturday's 30 minute delay at home to Ipswich, was I am afraid to say, typical of some of the idiots who support this club.

Not all the fans are like this, it just happens to be that Leeds United appear to have a larger proportion of idiots than any other club.

Glad to see them going down, hope they never come back.

Most of, if not all, the answers on there blame the fans.

It's us fans. We're just too damn sexy.

Not always true

I'm not a Leeds Utd fan. I'm not even a dramaball fan. I'd like to see them do well as I'm a LEEDS (the city) fan.

I love Leeds (the city) have lived here my whole life, I've seen Sydney, Manhattan, Tokyo, LA and I still LOVE Leeds.

You're right though, there does seem to be a collection of idiots who support the club!
