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?
Yes but your initial question doesn’t warrant a black or white yes or no answer..

I said in the past I’ve cringed..

This season I can understand why some feel there is a conspiracy then I’ve thrown in a couple of examples as to why I can see some feel this way and a couple of possible explanations.

It’s a forum of opinions, no official right or wrong answer, I’ve clashed with Billy in the past disagreeing with posts and I’ve also agreed with him. Billy is ultra passionate, he hasn’t just said there is a conspiracy against Leeds, he has provided reasoning for his belief.

I know any non Leeds fan will frown on it but he posted it on a Leeds forum, he wasn’t making excuses to the outside world, he was using it as a post for debate.

I don't think many are 'frowning', more sniggering and enjoying watching the delusions. Most see Leeds getting favoured, and we can all share tales of events that didn't go our way,but we're grounded enough to see it for what it is, rather than trying to believe it's an excuse for simply not being good enough.
 
Not sure what conspiracy theory you can draw for shambolic defending and Bamford diving at any slight contact !

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.
First part I agree and the point I was trying to make.

I’m surprised the TV debate pisses other fans off, don’t get me wrong im not complaining Leeds are on TV too much but how the TV money is shared out is wrong in my opinion.

Genuinely had no idea Leeds complaining about it annoyed others.

Of course it does it's an arrogant elitist mindset that pisses people off !

The majority of fans know we were not quite good enough, Bielsa worked wonders with what he had, we played some great football this season with the same players that looked relegation material last season

In regards to Bamford, I don’t think any Leeds fan wants to see him in a Leeds shirt next season and most feel the keeper is another waste of money

They are with all respect only 3 players away from a good team

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.

If you ever do reach the Premier League I hope you beat the record number of penalties awarded against you that Hull City had given against them the last time we were there. Broke all PL records by a country mile. Then tell us about conspiracy theories. Not counting that Arsenal players are allowed to punch the ball in to the net against us.

And change decisions under direction from the 4th official.

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.[/QUOTE

Oh come on, come on

Have you met her hubsy?
 
Got this sent to me.

"**** them. Had yesterday off but went in today and I think it was quite evident to most of them that I wasn’t really interested in their **** unfunny banter. Most of the people that tried having a pop were people who picked a random premier league team off a map to support and haven’t been to a game. This ****ing barmy woman from the office who knows **** all about football took it upon herself to follow me about at every opportunity with her creepy smile asking what happened. The only two words I’ve said to her all day are **** and off. "

Oh the irony. Wonder when 'westhullwhite' randomly picked leeds united ? Bet it wasn't when they dropped into the old 3rd div (league one now). I'd guess late 60's/ 70's perhaps when they were a First Division club.

No guessing about it. Some inadequate who thinks people will think he must be hard because he has an acquaintance with the Service Crew.

Is Hull Royal a leader in carrying out successful irony bypass operations?
