I remember standing in a bar after we beat Bristol and a couple of Leeds fans came over to me and my wife and started having a go about how I should have been stood on the tables celebrating and that we didn’t deserve it! Just being ****ers! I turned to another Leeds fan who heard it and I just said “ that’s why no one likes ya “ he just shrugged! And we all know what donny did to them the next day! #karma
Hate? Not at all. You’re not exactly the Blunts are you Anyway you continually make the end of the season amusing so no, not a hate brush Maybe a schadenfreude roller though
I agree . My mate at work is a really nice bloke and I'm quite glad at times that he supports Leeds cos it's nice to have the annual snigger
You reap what you sow matey. Not you obviously but Hull City fans have taken a fair bit of stick and ridicule over the years off people from our own city who latched onto lufc when you were decent and we were dire. I've been to Elland Road more times then most of the Hull ( and Beverley) Whites, and never once to watch Leeds.
I was in a pub in I was in a pub in Kingsbury pre Bristol game full of vermin and( City, mainly family types) vermin were complete arseholes intimidating City fans. Later on around 30 City came in, older lads from the 1980s, all of a sudden the mood changed and the vermin were OK lads, hope you win today etc! It was very funny watching them squirm.
I know idiots who support all different teams, I’ve never hated or disliked anyone solely because of a team they’ve supported. I tend not to join in the piss taking when things are good as you know the next low is around the corner and karma is a bitch. Yesterday was painful because it was Lampard, I never liked him in his Chelsea days, I don’t like the love and admiration given to him from the press because of who he was as a player rather than what he has achieved as a manager and he really did blow Spygate up out of all proportion so the songs about him were more about revenge. Saying that if I were a Derby fan would I be loving and enjoying the last laugh, of course I would but I don’t think we’ve seen the end of it, Villa will beat them in the final and next season it will start all over again.
Talking to a lass today whose hubsy is dyed in the wool vermin, and she herself has been dragged along to Elland rd many times to accompany him. He'd taken yesterday and today off to 'enjoy' the game in his front room (those matchday tickets are so expenners you know) . I nodded faux sympathetically at their disappointment. She knows where I stand when it comes to these matters. It's like people joining the Gary Glitter Fan Club in 1973 and refusing to disown him or admit they got it all wrong, and continuing to support his music and legacy.
You can only class yourself as a proper Leeds fan if you whirl your scarf round your head when you win and blubber when you lose - both of which makes you look like a dick
As regards the media, many of us tire at silly ****s on tv or on the papers who bang the drum for a return of the vermin to the PL like 'the football world wants it'.
I don't think it's hate, they just get on your tits and show themselves up to be shallow and not really worth listening to. I have a relative, Hull born and bred who 'supports' Chelsea, and it's 'we' this 'we' that. So why does he 'support Chelsea ( and Hull Fc of course) ? because a famous Chelsea player has the same first name as him ? FFS. How shallow can you get ? I couldn't give a toss who goes up or down for that matter. But to be fair pal, you blew it big time and worst of all everyone knew you would.
Conspiracy comments like those on the link below are what you get tarred with, because it's hardly a one off, and rarely gets properly challenged, and most outsiders can see it for the obvious bullshit it is, because we all get **** on in one way or another. So many claims made about being 'victimised' by the FL over the points deduction don't help your case. https://www.not606.com/threads/efl-conspiracy.374448/
That threads embarrassing, but not surprising. I think they genuinely believe it. Sad old Leeds, no future, little in the way of a past & poor support. If it wasn’t for the massive chips on their shoulders they’d have nowt.
I'm not sure if they do it subconsciously, but they seem as though they have to believe there's something external at work that stops them being the massive club they imagine themselves to be, rather than the mediocre club that had a short spell in the limelight that reality suggests their chosen team is.
I’ll be honest, for years I’ve cringed at conspiracy posts and theories but this season there have been what seems an abnormal amount of poor ref decisions. When incidents like head butts and punches on our players go unpunished by review panels it does leave you scratching your head for an answer. As minor as it might be, Bamford was pushed from behind yesterday, was it enough for a penalty, probably not but I’ve seen them given, did it warrant a yellow, certainly not. Spygate Bielsa sent a scout to watch from a public road, he was not tooled up as claimed by Lampard, he did not break in through a fence, he was asked to move on as confirmed by Derbyshire police. No rules were broken yet Leeds fined £200k I’ve come to the conclusion that too many refs are poor in general, they make split decisions based on recent reputation for example Bamfords yellow yesterday. No I don’t believe the EFL instruct refs to give us a hard time but I do believe that in their decision making they come down harder on us than they should and I believe many times it’s been the influence of Shaun Harvey. I dare say if I watched any other team I’d feel pretty much the same, it’s easy for any fan to ignore anything that goes in their favour and reflect on the bad decisions, Billy makes a lot of valid points in his post, it’s just passionate posting.
You say that you cringe at the conspiracy posts, and acknowledge that other clubs could probably claim the same things, and then defend the conspiracy crank that started that thread, and add a few of your own. Can you not see how others will see that?
I think its indicative of the poor level of refereeing personally. Each club feels they get a poor rub of the green, mostly due to watching more and being more invested in their own team than the others. What amused me was the Leeds fan whining that they didn't get paid much for their 27 tv appearances. That sort of **** just pisses other fans off.
D'ya know what really makes you look a dick? Shaving your head. Cleaving the top of it, lightly with an axe. Wearing a skin tone roll neck sweater. Then leaning forward at an angle of between 45 and 60 degrees. Go on. Give it a go.
Look on the bright side, derbies next seaspn against Hudders, your WY rivals, as well as Barsley, the Massive, and possibly Donny, Forget the make believe 'rivalry' with MUFC- that's a fantasy from 20 years ago. LFC and MCFC have left MUFC behind and LUFC are Championship hopefuls along with the likes of NFFC, WBA, Borer, Stoke, Swansea etc
