"Historically Successful Club In Foreign Fans Shocker" As long as you're in the PL, you'll be gaining your own, I hope you can bare it.
I don't want any team to ever want to win a game more than we do, and I would expect any other football supporter to feel the same.
Some fans would see the Premier League as a priority and wouldn't be bothered if our reserves (who are reserves for a reason) play **** and lose in the Cup. Obviously everyone would rather we play well and progress as far as possible, but nobody values the Cup that highly to provoke that sort of response. If we go out, we go out; if we go through, we go through. Retaining Premier League status next Season is much higher up my priorities than attempting to win the F.A. Cup.
There were only two changes from our first choice starting eleven in the team we put out at Rochdale, and I want any team we put out to do their very best to win the game, no matter the competition or the opposition.
Leeds United 1 v 2 Blackburn Rovers SkyBet Championship Wednesday, 1st January 2014 Kick-off 15:00 - The home fans booed off the team at half-time and who could blame them? 1st hit on google. There was more. Common as muck them boo's.
That wasn't my intention, I was just saying what I knew from my experience of my own club's fans, I can't really comment on anyone else because obviously I don't pay too much attention to other clubs' fans. Once again, if you're fans don't boo I think that's great, but I don't like seeing opposition fans claiming we're fairweather supporters who jeer our own team at the slightest provocation because it's just not true (I doubt any real glory supporters have stuck around after 10 years of near unmitigated misery).
The impression I got at the time was that the booing was for the referee, described by press as "indefensibly bad". That also shows you the kind of league performance we were coming off of going into this match, no wonder the fans were frustrated. Fair enough though, you found one example, irrefutable evidence of our constant and uninhibited jeering.
Nope, I posted one example, I found far more. As for it being the ref, only if you're saying he was on Leeds payroll. "The home fans booed off the team at half-time and who could blame them? It was by far our worse performance of the season so far and it should have really been 0-3 at least. McDernott responded by throwing on Gboly Ariyibi for his first taste of Elland Road action."
As there is in primary schools in every other ****ing town and city unfortunately. You'll never avoid the glory seekers....
****ing hell. We've always had a big Irish following, particularly as Kelly, Harte and McPhail were coming through to the first team. Nit forgetting Robbie Keane when he joined. Were you lot not harping on about how many Egyptians started following Hull City AFC (The Tigers) when Gedo et al joined after your Egypitian master bailed you out of what would have turned you into a Portsmouth?
It is totally different to a foreign based guy buying into a club. He has lived here more than half his life.
he is a Leeds fan, he is allowed to say that - I'm sure that you would claim that Ull fans are the most passionate.
Not exactly. The atmosphere at the KC has been somewhat dimmed in the last few Seasons; ever since 2008 Promotion and then the sudden rise in expectation. TWS have fallen so far, so quickly that the same has basically happened to them. They expect so much success and so tell their players to "**** off" and call them "****ers" because they lost 2-0 to Rochdale...
I bet the local Irish team down the road had a fair few more Irish lads coming through their ranks though. Why not support them? I see your Irish plastic contingent as novel but nothing that could ever warrant to be taken seriously. A bit like a garden gnome in a football kit and a pair of sunglasses. Momentarily amusing but really just crass and tacky.
I've just been labelled a racist for saying all the Irish who support Leeds are plastics. 'Kin ell. I'm turning into Agron.
