Note the YPs evening paper referred to 'United's trip to Humberside' .. why Humberside not the East Riding or East Yorkshire.. http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co....united-whites-taught-painful-lesson-1-5264469 They hate the fact that they got mullered by another Yorkshire side.. typical wessies. They are 'Leeds United after all' and not 'Leicester, Hull or Cardiff' - see subsequent deluded posts. You couldn't make it up.. PS Thread should read Yorkshire Evening Post - a ****e evening paper that makes the HDM look good..
YP is very much Leeds based so the coverage doesn't suprise me. Just glad to see we've ruffled a few feathers with a win on Saturday.
One of the comments said: On friday evening the Hull edition of Look North was referring to Leeds as Hull City's Yorkshire rivals. For years Leeds played in the old first division and the premiership while Hull swanned about in the lower leagues. Rivals? They weren't even mentioned in the same breath. The bloke who said it must live in Humberside as well if he knows what it said on our local news. Twats.
Humberside (pron.: /ˈhʌmbərsaɪd/) was a non-metropolitan and ceremonial county in Northern England from 1 April 1974 until 1 April 1996. It was abolished on 1 April 1996, with four unitary authorities being formed: North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire, Kingston upon Hull and East Riding of Yorkshire. The name has continued in use as a geographic term and in the names of institutions such as Humberside Police and Humberside Fire and Rescue Service. Eureka!
It is still a geographic term, yes, but even the newly elected Tory Police Commissioner wants to change it to Humber Police. Note also the economic region is Yorkshire & Humber to include parts of the south bank. My point is YEP could have referred to us as East Yorkshire being fellow Yorkshiremen but mischievously IMHO chose to refer to us as Humberside after being mullered at the KC.
so why you reading it ???/ i dont stick my cock in the fire and complain its hot , then moan about it on here ffs!
I read it because I wished to see how the oppositions rag viewed us not because I wanted to stick my cock into the fire..
Bloody Hell I can't believe how touchy some of you are about the name "Humberside", just take it on the chin or better still ignore it. That was the most complimentary article I've read about City this season and it also had the added spice of hammering Leeds. What do you want, jam on it?
There still seem to be some people incapable of distinguishing the discontinued administrative county of Humberside, and the geographical region of Humberside that pre-dated it.
How lonely are you that you keep picking this fight just for the attention. I'm not even sure Dutch can be bothered to kick your arse again, ah I see that's what you like. Yo u bad bad boy.....
I think it's a pretty **** article. Even ignoring the schoolboy error of using Humberside, the entire report suggests it's disgraceful that the mighty Leeds could lose to Hull City. It's not complimentary at all, it just says they were **** so we won basically. A bit like Warnock after the game whose 'compliments' were that we are the most organised team in the league. Cheers Colin. Not brilliant football, dragging your boys around the park and creating chances with ease, no, we were just 'organised'.
