Thought we were blowing it again, what a comeback.
Interesting article, Retired professional Ref Keith Hackett who is now an analyst has stated that so far this season bad refereeing decisions have cost Leeds 15 points.

If Leeds don’t make it back up this year then there’s something seriously wrong. And yes, great comeback

Why?

Why?

I pooped myself last time - didnt appreciate the hail of bottles and other stuff that came our way.

I have been going to Elland road since 1966 & have never seen bottles thrown, there’s actually been very little violence inside the ground.

You weren't in the away section when I was Derek - a nightmare both inside and in particular outside the ground. It was about 1992 from memory.

Never, ever going back, same as I won't ever go back to St Etienne or Millwall.

I have witnessed things being thrown by home fans at Stoke, Derby, Middlesborough, Sheffield United, Birmingham, Ipswich, Tottenham, Arsenal, Millwall, Bury (Man u v Leeds reserve match) & Portsmouth, I was attacked on a bus in Portsmouth by a Southampton fan, I was assaulted by a Bradford fan when I was leaving Silver blades ice skating rink..

I arranged for a Leeds supporting workmate to borrow a 'home' season ticket for a Leeds game at Old Trafford.

As you would,expect, he kept himself to himself and was probably quite relieved wthat The Reds won.

Why am I telling you this?? He ended up having stitches in his scalp as the result of something being thrown from the away supporters outside the ground.

The irony wasn't lost on him.

Never saw bother inside Old Trafford but saw plenty outside both before & after matches.

I think part of the problem is the lack of control during the match - perhaps if the poof footballists listened to the officials and obeyed their decisions, like the Rugby players automatically do, then maybe the crowds wouldn’t react so badly.

Been going to rugby union matches for years. Never seen or experienced any of that.

In contrast, when I was a kid I was visiting cousins in Glasgow and went along with a couple of them to a Partick Thistle v Celtic match.
One was hit by a dart (it stuck between his head and his ear) and we were bombarded with what turned out to be 2p coins with the edges sharpened throughout the match....all courtesy of the Celtic fans.
That pretty much put me off footie matches for life.

The problem with Football referees is they are inconsistent & often tend to favour one team over another, they are also bent, take the Qpr v Leeds game a couple of weeks back, QPR player handles the ball with both hands then scores, later emerges that the Ref is an avid Brentford fan, Brentford were in third place at the time, don’t get me wrong I know that sometimes a ref will favour Leeds, I know for a fact that a linesman at old Trafford for a Man u v Leeds match signalled for a penalty for Leeds (ref over ruled) he also gave offside for a Man U player who was through on goal, the linesman was a Copper with West Yorkshire Police.

Does that include Saracens players?

From what I’ve heard from a former mate of mine (RIP John) whose brother is a Manchester United season ticket holder, them scouse twats threw containers of piss and excrement at the United fans at Anfield.

If there’s a shred of truth in that, then those fans are lower than I already think they are.
