Some very sad comments on here today. Too many Leeds fans always looking for the way out, when the truth is this was a disgrace for Leeds United. End of.
The video footage of the cretin who attacked Kirkland is very clear. Assume someone will do the decent thing and shop him.
Although I know a lot of Leeds fans - the vast majority - are decent, I have seen enough over the years to be able to say with confidence we have a bigger proportion of the brain dead than do most teams. On that point, look at the video of the cretin as he rejoined the crowd - they all seem very amused at his "playful antics", don't they?
Kirkland went down justifiably. Anyone thinking otherwise is blinkered, Look at the video, he did not even see the "brave" Leeds fan until he was in front of him, the moron did not look like he was going to thump him, then suddenly clocked him one. I would have gone down, so would you, stop fooling yourselves.
On the managers statements : Warnocks comes out of this quite well, man enough to retract his daft statement. I don't blame anyone for making daft statements 5 minutes after the game ends, but it would be nice to hear Jones clarify his sweeping generalisation about Leeds support - he loses his cred by making it too sweeping.
But, for heavens sake stop looking for things to whine about, the only point here is Leeds fans (some of) behaved disgracefully. yes - so did Wednesdays, the manager said a dumb thing, and the GK had the cheek to fall over when he was attacked... but get real, the only feeling a Leeds fan should have today is shame/ embarrassment
