Oh, and BTW, slapping the keeper doesn't count as a goal, nor an acceptable form of goal celebration. Next time Town score, I'm going to punch a fullback. I accept that I may be waiting a while for that opportunity. On a serious note, has anyone got the number for OJ Simpson's lawyer?
It was about 6. No, because no-one saw him do it. Those who did, who were watching on TV, identified him within minutes and inundated WYP with calls. But once again, let's not let stupid old facts get in the way.
I assume from some of the comments that Ipswich Town's customary form of goal celebration is to stare intently at the opposition goalkeeper? Because it's the only way anyone would have known what had happened.
If the only ones who saw it and grassed him up were watching it on TV, they're not really the fans we have problem with, are they? None of the real fans saw it then? Sounds like Alex Ferguson 'not' seeing a foul or an offside.
Leeds have always been a club "supported" by vile scumbags I know from bitter experience when Ipswich visited there the last game of the season when they got relegated. The Leeds fans that day threw coins and moved in on the Ipswich section terrorising poor women and kids! The club is a disgrace and should be banned and have points deducted. That is the only way that they will learn how to behave like civilised people!
So you are telling me that none of the many thousand away fans witnessed him strike Kirkland, none of the away fans watched the "6" fans running on to the playing surface, none of your fans witnessed the damage of the photo equipment behind that goal..that was at your end right in front of you..?
You'd say the same if a single person from an Ipswich away end ran up to Colchester's keeper and gave him a push? Didn't think so.
That would never happen as we are not supported by vile scum who think it's ok to terrorise women and young kids!
Well that's one way of totally dodging the question so you can keep up your Leeds-hating double standards.
I know Ipswich fans, facts eh? Just get in the way of a good bit of finger pointing and name calling in my experience.
Show me evidence of more then 6 fans running onto the playing surface and I'll be incredibly surprised. Am I saying that no-one saw it? Probably not, but to suggest that the masses of celebrating fans would be able to see the event, identify the guy and point out where he was is ridiculous, and for any of them to confront him would be stupid. But then that's me dealing with what actually happened, not the fantasy version in your heads where the entire travelling support ran into the centre circle and started brutally beating the entire Sheffield Wednesday team while throwing knives into the crowd.
Police have made an arrest. Would have been a lot more difficult for them if the "vile scum" hadn't identified the guy.
We have to remember it's not every Leeds fan but it is the culture at the club and has been going back to Don Revie's time. Warnock even said the keeper went down like a ton of bricks!
And apologised for it the next morning, unlike Dave Jones. And it's not "the culture at the club", it's a tiny minority who the rest of the support are ashamed of. The club has done so much over the years to keep the hooligans away, largely successfully, but you can't get rid of every last scummy hanger on.
He was right. 6 foot 4 and he went down like a girl. Yes it was a cowardly and poor taste thing for the lad to do, and he'll regret it when he's in a cell tonight and for the forseeable future, but I'm pretty sure a keeper from longer than 20 years ago wouldn't have hit the deck like Rivaldo, clutching their face. Regardless of what merit there was in Warnock's comments, he's apologized for them anyway to satisfy the disgusted of Tunbridge Wells brigade.
