KBbcfc Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 On a separate note I cannot believe Wednesday fans didn't react to that attack on Kirkland, if Opposition fans ran onto our pitch and hit Heaton I'd be straight on the pitch to hand out some instant retribution.

Northampton Red Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 surpised warnock did not mention the punch he received at ashton gate. Thought that myself when he was getting interviewed, surprised he didn't jump at the chance at slagging us off. Appalling scenes up tonight but there are idiots in most football clubs who unfortunately, ruin it for the majority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfOfWestStreet Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Chris Kirkland needs to have word with himself. 6'4" and floored by a pissed up Leeds chav. Should have knocked the pond lifes teeth out and done the world a favour. Extra gym session Chris!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LawrenceWestonNick Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 ha ha the tosser is getting shedloads of grief on facebook. He is so thick to leave his info to the public.

Southport Red Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Good piece in the Times today saying Warnock brought the game into disrepute (again) by saying Kirkland went over too easily (the man is unbel*****ievable) and then, a few minutes after the attack, sent his team over to applaud the 'supporters'. If that had been us, I would have expected Del to a) Apologise ( and mean it) b) get the team off the pitch pdq and c) say he is sorry to all the real fans they didn't get a clap but that that stand had people in it who disgraced the club and he wasn't going to run the risk that his team might applaud them. Though, of course, Warnock is 64 so that makes it all right ( although it does NOT explain why he was such an odious **** when he was in his forties) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BITW Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 There was the usual posing and cut throat gestures going on between the 2 sets of fans,not long before the incident happened. Another sad part about the whole thing is the fact it happened at the Leppings lane end. Shameful, when you think that the reason they got on the pitch, was because the fences that would have stopped them killed 96 people. When you put it like that its a shame the fences were taken down! Leeds scum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redeye Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Agree with posters regarding idiots and thugs at EVERY club. These morons use football clubs to legitimise their violent abusive behaviour. Wrong of Dave Jones to brand the whole of the Leeds supporters as 'vile animals' Wrong of both sets of supporters to chant the vile things they did - sadly all football clubs have fans who find this acceptable. I am perplexed by City fans who 'hate everything Leeds' - do they not know the great connection between the clubs? Mann, Hunter, Jordan, Cooper...... Likewise - some of our posters are happy to state they hate northern scum. I suggest you address your prejudice to DM and see what response you get It's obvious our club is not immune from this disease of hate and abuse. As stated post-match last night - this goes beyond banter. Ban the haters and vile chanters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brizzle Jordan Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 At the end of the day, it was one bloke who comitted this ridiculous offence. I don't hate Leeds as a club due to this one fan, I don't hate Leeds as a club at all. Only clubs I hate are Bristol Rovers and FC Barcelona.

Leeds fans have a history of trouble following them around , and some (not all) seem to think they have a god given right to follow the team wherever and whenever they please. Lets not forget what has happened at AG over the last couple of years , with Leeds fans sittng in home areas and more to the point , the idiot who did what he did last night is actually banned from football.

redeye Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Yes the moron who did what he did last night should be banned for life. As for the Leeds fan from last season - not a clever thing to do - but it says more about the fact that opposing fans cannot sit together supporting their respective teams in a civilised manner. Until the day arrives where the haters are no longer anything to do with football (in all aspects) then episodes like last nights disgusting behaviour will continue.

Southport Red Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 but it says more about the fact that opposing fans cannot sit together supporting their respective teams in a civilised manner. Until the day arrives where the haters are no longer anything to do with football (in all aspects) then episodes like last nights disgusting behaviour will continue. I was able to make an interesting comparison of how true this is about 10 years ago. On a Saturday I went in my City shirt to Edgely Park, Stockport to watch City v Stockport County. There was segregation, an alcohol ban and loads of Police. The very next Friday evening, I was back at the same ground, very nearly in the same seat in a blue, black and white hooped shirt to watch Bath rugby play Sale Sharks, no segregation, I sat amongst Sale fans, stood and here ed when Bath scored, bought a beer from a guy with a beer tank on his back PITCHSIDE. There was no police and I had a good chat with the Sale fans all around me. There wasn't the same wit or banter as you get at the football but it was a MUCH nicer experience. It would be fab if we could still sing our songs, even a little gentle mickey taking of the opposition without it getting nasty. British humour is based on taking the mickey and I wouldn't want to lose that from football, but it seems there are some who cannot see a line between banter and thuggery. Having said that, because I am of a vintage that I watched City in the 70's I think that, last night aside, going to the football is a much nicer experience now than it was then, we do still have a little way to go though.

Great post - and a perfect example of the way we can enjoy football in a civilised manner without the morons infecting the game with their selfish agendas. Message to the morons ands hooligans - many of us go to watch this beautiful game to witness and experience the skills, abilities and tactics deployed with passion and commitment - riding the waves of excitement and theatre as we enjoy match-winning moments or the lows of a bad performance. Passion does not mean violence or abuse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For someone who is very vociferous on the subject you seem to have very liitle knowledge of it. I have first-hand knowledge and experience of it - my girlfriend, myself and other friends were attacked by fellow city fans. Our crime? My girlfriend was wearing the scarf of the opposing team that day (who she supported). Thankfully, older City fans stepped in and educated the morons, who thought a scarf was an excuse for aggression and violence. I also helped a Rovers friend from getting a kicking (Villa fans) at Eastville. And what was his crime? Being on his own and walking past a group of opposing team fans. Interesting how these thugs and morons can only operate or function in a mob. If you are not condoning hooliganism and violence, why don't I see any evidence of you vociferously advocating it's eradication from football?

Would I like to see it dissapear , yes. Do I think it will ever happen , no. As I've already pointed out , it's been a problem for over a century and I'm not naive enough to think anything will change. Take the guy from last night. He is banned from football and has been caught breaching his banning order on 3 occasions yet he is still able to attend a game , hundreds of miles from where he lives. Why has he not been made to report to his local police station at kick off time every time Leeds play ? If the authorities wont do anything about people like this , these incidents will continue to happen. That's not to say I condone them when they do , I just seem to live in the real world whilst you dream of some kind of Utopia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
