Septic Peg Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Dirty Leeds Good morning to all except Luke Ayling whom I hope stood on an upturned plug in the night. A special shout out the guys and gals currently aboard the Peter Carol express somewhere on the M1. Getting up at stupid o'clock on a cold and miserable november saturday for a 7 hour round trip takes considerable strength. I duly doff my cap. So it's us v Dirty Leeds. I've always wondered where that particular moniker came from as it's well accepted by Leeds fans themselves as well as other clubs. I found this online: Leeds v Everton - 54 years ago... https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/sport/football/leeds-united/the-incendiary-clash-which-spawned-the-label-dirty-leeds-1-6972351 Essentially, from the KO, both sides started taking lumps out of one another, with Leeds player Billy Bremner being a nuisance from the opening second and an Everton player flooring future World Cup winner Jack Charlton, in retaliation. Everton player Sandy Brown was sent off 4 minutes into the game and with a few minutes of the first half remaining, the ref called time early and sent them all to the changing rooms to "cool off". Cut a long story short, but the thuggery from both sides continued and the fans turned hostile as well. A month later and after a FA investigation, Brown was suspended and Everton punished for fans throwing coins. Dirty Leeds got away with everything. Hence the name. The game has obviously changed drastically since that night. Referees are trained relentlessly, we have VAR, the FA are much stricter and players are more professional. But the tag line remains. Dirty dirty Leeds. On to today. Coming off an international break and playing a team in the play offs, we will have our asses handed to us. 3-0 to Dirty Leeds. Our only hope is that their sick bay is as bad as has been reported in the press. Prove me wrong and make me eat humble pie for tea. Coyrs...

Ska Junkie Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 We're shit, they're not although they are depleted. 4 nil Leeds. JOHNSON OUT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Major Isewater Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 If Leeds could just get a dozen or so additional injuries we might be in with a shout . I fear for our band of lovely young boys who will no doubt adore playing at Elland Rd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBFC II Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Currently in some services somewhere in Yorkshire. Still wondering why I've decided to go to this one but oh well, we live in hope... 2-1 Leeds I reckon, 90th minute kalas consolidation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerseybean Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 This remains one of my best ever City memories. I was allowed a day off school by mum and dad to go to Elland Road one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exAtyeoMax Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 On the 591 from London, on the M1 nearly there. Grey cloudy sky with tiny patches of blue, no rain. Edit: The sun has just come out. No idea what the score will be. Still wondering who the surprise inclusion in the team will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daored Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 It’s hard to see past a comfortable Leeds victory today considering we appear to have lost all confidence and ideas. However, I think we may be surprised today, a few out for Leeds today. 2-2. @SR1 and @Cjay your thoughts on today ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nogbad the Bad Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 Last 5 visits to Leeds. Lost 4 (2-1,1-0,1-0, 2-1) drawn 1 (last season 2-2) Suggest 2-1, or 2-0 are likely scorelines today. Personally I haven't been to Elland Road since the Cup win in '74. No subsequent visit could ever match that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deadredfred Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 I'll wait to see what today's tombola throws up. As much as I think we're going to get schooled all afternoon, this is just the kind of game we'll end up nicking, which will only top LJ's credits back up to 100% in SL's eyes.

petehinton Posted November 24, 2018 Report Share Posted November 24, 2018 That team is fkin risky. Paterson and Eliasson in the same 11. Away from home. Without a recognised striker. Great to see Adelukan but this 11 worries me.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
