    Possibly plenty by Leicester standards, but the bulk of the noise was cheering, but only seconds before you could make out individual voices, which gives 'plenty' some context.

    As I posted earlier, the location of the microphones means tv listeners are not commenting on a real situation.

    I was in E3 and heard booing, nothing major, just the type you expect after amy defeat.

    It was their cup final after all and the shock result amazed them.

    Twice as loud as your knuckle dragging following even with half the numbers.

    At least put some effort into your trolling! Wednesday fans were silent until they went 2-1 up.

    I'm in E3 and I heard it, I said to my daughter it was out of order. If it was aimed at the officials how do the players know the difference?

    Oh, and why shouldn't the team be booed off? There weren't any for Bruce himself, but the ineptitude of that performance warranted letting the team know how we felt. That's not the first time this season that they've played like that, seemingly having turned up expecting their opponent to roll over and die. Burnley was another example.

    I doubt they was booing off Steve Bruce. Possibly the players.

    Steve Bruce will have sent them out with orders, I can almost guess the instructions wasn't what we watched last night.

    The players need to take the flak, not Steve. They didn't give a **** last night from start to finish.

    I only watched the first half but they were abysmal then, that Faye challenge was absolutely disgusting, how that wasn't even a yellow, let alone a straight red, I will never know...

    Also heard Wednesday were unlucky to have a goal disallowed, and you got given a dodgy penalty, so I guess all the boo-ing must have come from the Wednesday fans?

    He was ****ing dire both ways the ref.

    With that Faye incident I agree. I really don't understand what the ref has given the freekick for if he's not going to produce a red card. Faye clearly got the ball first, so it shouldn't have been given for taking the player before the ball. In which case he has to have given it for the nature of the challenge. If it's given for the nature of the challenge it has to be a reckless challenge. As he was off the ground (the two footed bit is actually irrelevent) so he was clearly out of control of what happened and it's therefore a red card. It's one of those incidents where you want to see the ref's match report just to see what he says he's seen wrong with it because his decision makes no sense what so ever.

    He disallowed a 'good' Wednesday goal which came straight from a very dodgy free kick just like the first goal which was also not a foul in a million years. As for the penalty, it was a clear foul but I'm guessing you're suggesting it was outside the area which is laughable given who you support. Remind me how many penalties Leeds have had outside the area this season?

    Absolutely dusgusting is taking it a bit far ffs. In the PL it would have been a red card by this season's standards but it wasn't dangerous or anything, he did everything right taking the ball. You see tackles like that every week at this level and rarely get punished like they do in the PL. And the dodgy penalty wasn't even slightly dodgy. That was the 3rd penalty we've had since 2011. If you want to talk about dodgy penalties look at the teams who actually get them now and again...

    Ricardo's right though, the guy was ****e for both sides throughout. He had no control over the game whatsoever. Whenever Wednesday wanted to stop the game while they recovered and waste a bit of time he let them and even went out of his way to promote it, as so many refs at this level do. Antonio tying his laces in our half after they scored was a pisstake. They were time-wasting at 0-0 in the first half. He made a big fuss about people on the edge of the area at the penalty which did nothing but make it harder for Simpson to focus, any penalty taker will tell you the last thing you want is a big delay before you can take it. Then of course when it was saved he didn't mind the two players he was just telling off for being inside the area coming to clear it away. The worst thing though was after he disallowed that goal he let us take a quick free kick even though no one knew he'd disallowed it and they only had half a team to defend it. The fact they defended it just fine and still ended up nearly scoring was embarrassing from our point of view.
