The Football League Thread

What would you have liked Leeds to do? Just stand there and applaud the lovely little rouges for their clever wit?

I watched the game live and saw it.

The ref was holding a bit of a blue seat on the pitch as they crowded round Kirkland which was shown clearly on TV but this is the best picture I can find of it:

You got any evidence that Leeds fans were throwing seats, and all the rest of it, or are you just saying what you've heard from the media?

Throwing missiles, charging at police (few if any Wednesday fans charged at police inside the ground), ripping up seats and taking advertising hoardings down, yeah because you see that at every single match don't you?

And there was me thinking you were there! So you didn't really see anything of what happened then.

Yes, as did I, thanks.

So that's it.

Let's face it, if this was another club's fans, there wouldn't be this much being made of it. It's 'cause it's Leeds, and people assume Leeds to be scum. I can't remember people calling for Celtic fans to be banned after the Dida incident or Stoke fans to be banned after Simon Royce was assaulted in an incident that led to 6 people getting arrested after a 3-minute scuffle in the goalmouth! or Sunderland fans to be banned after that lad ran on and grabbed Harper in the derby a season or two ago.

And there was me thinking you were there! So you didn't really see anything of what happened then.

I was actually at the match in the home ends and saw missiles including seats being thrown. In the region of 90 seats were destroyed.



What kind of club seriously plays up in front of the country like that? A fuss wouldn't have been made had it not been on Sky, but your lot were daft enough to play up for the cameras.




I saw a lot of horrific and vile actions that night, as I said above, I saw a lot of stuff I've never seen at matches before.

Looks like Leeds will not get the Leppings Lane Lower again in the near future! Be a nice sub 4,000 allocation next time

Your prats were so clever, they managed to chuck an advertising board into the lower tier of the Leppings Lane, directly onto other Leeds fans and it hit a little kid. Not content with being morons with Wednesday supporters, your lot have no regard for each other either!! Couldn't make it up seriously, even Sheffield United would have the brains to realise their fans were sat in the lower as well!!!

You've obviously not been attending matches long. Stop getting yourself worked up over it, you silly drama queen.

This sort of stuff isn't unheard of at football matches, even in Britain.

You continue to watch your football team, and we'll continue to watch ours. Cheers.

I've not been attending matches long? I've been watching 60+ matches a season from Premier League stuff to Sunday stuff for the last 5 years. I can't ever recall seeing a player being hit by a spectator in a match I've watched, and its definitely not something that is regular at all, anywhere!!

I'm not getting worked up over it at all, Wednesday come out this looking good. I just want to see a few facts straight for those clearly not at the match.

I saw a lot of horrific and vile actions that night, as I said above, I saw a lot of stuff I've never seen at matches before. I will reiterate, a tiny number of our fans did sing Turkey songs, but the numbers were so few many in the North (where they were sung from) didn't even hear them! Simply not an excuse for the reaction by Leeds fans.

I have no desire to enter in to a war of words with you and actually agree with a fair bit of what you said I did however have to pick you up on a couple of things. The Istanbul chants are clearly audible on the video already posted so I doubt it was just a tiny number. Although before you point it out booing is clearly audible as well and I would hope that is sensible fans from both sides trying to drown it out. As for the what kind of club seriously plays up in front of the cameras. Well is that comment not kind of ironic given this incident live on the BBC. 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 Again I would like to add in both cases it is stupid behaviour from a few and not a reflection of the majority of either sides support.

Paul Jewell's left... Football league managerial roundabout in full swing.
