Leeds Banter Archive January 03 2018

Not Leeds related for once, but the more I read about the Jake Livermore situation, the more disgusted I become, not just with football, but society as a whole. If it's true that he was taunted about the death of his child, then respect to him for not killing the guy. No place for any of that, anywhere, any situation. Well done Jake.

03 Jan 2018 22:36:22
Totally with you Bright. Stunned and mortified when I read it. If true, he was beyond restrained. Admirable even. No place in society for such a nasty comment or the nasty piece of kit who said it. Shameful.

04 Jan 2018 00:11:24
Absolutely shocking. Disgraceful . should be put too sleep never mind banned.

West Ham fans, another team like Millwall who’s fans seem to get away with any abuse! If it had been me I would of killed the stupid idiot, and no disrespect to Jane but Millwall fans have got away with taunts about our 2 lads killed in Turkey for years! Nothing will change until the FA and other professional bodies dish out the correct punishment to the individuals and the club throughout, it’s no good dishing out serious punishment to one team and then not another, yes just like we have suffered in the past yet others get away with it constantly! One rule for some one rule for others! MOT

well said, banter (hate that word but still) or a joke or even taunting has a place in football but how anyone can laugh about the death of a child is just sick, my thoughts go to livermore and his family

04 Jan 2018 10:34:37
Unfortunately the scum bred freely, only the other day I was working with a client and her dog and three young lads playing near by used the f-word more times then I can remember . Social media has made it all to easy to abuse others and only in more resent times has this become an area legally challenged . Footballers are still being racially abused and as for the Livermore incident, I hope the person is found and shamed .

04 Jan 2018 11:33:16
Unless it is Ken Bates, I am sure we all agree he is pretty fair game right?

04 Jan 2018 16:41:50
It’s a pity he isn’t fair game though eh, he would get shot in August! along with all the other game!

04 Jan 2018 17:30:16
i wouldn't shoot him too easy, I have not given it any thought but I think I would tie him upsidedown naked to a chair with a drip dropping on his balls, so water torture to his plums. then I would let my little one at his hair as she loves pulling hairs out one by one, there would probably be some kind of electro shock treatment to his nips and the gimp from pulp fiction to sort out his harris. probably something like that. I mean I haven't given it much thought

04 Jan 2018 18:27:13
Bermondsey it’s only a game of football not war, this is just stupidity at its best, and as bad as the rest.

03 Jan 2018 17:17:04
Let's see how this Halme lad shapes up. One for the, not too distant, future. Hopefully we have spotted a young gem before anyone else snaps him up. Must be daunting for a young boy, used to playing in front of 5000 spectators, to run out to 30,000 plus, cheering him on. Freeze or blossom, we shall see. If the team think he will be an instant hit maybe we should still look at someone like Figueiredo.

03 Jan 2018 17:50:33
I do agree with your post Leodis but for me surely our first most immediate priority is to strengthen the first team squad! All these for the future signings are great but not for oldies like me who might not be around to see it! Something to cheer about now is what we need, we really should be getting in first on solid transfers! Someone on here mentioned Gary Madine, he scored a great goal at the weekend, but all our transfer talk is about under 23s! We have done well to get where we are playing like we do, just imagine if we had good additions this month, where would that take us? Wolves have signed a striker from Valencia and they are Top, come on Orta earn your money!

03 Jan 2018 18:18:21
Totally agree mikewoody, once we get ourselves in the position to mount a challenge then we should do everything to push on. There is no guarantee that we would be in that position again next season.

03 Jan 2018 18:37:10
As you say Mezzer nothing is ever guaranteed ans as Mike says some of us are getting a little too long in the tooth to wait around. I hope VO/TC/AR has the clubs best interests at heart and with 3 or 4 quality signings (now) puts us to the front of the queue for promotion and with his young acquisitions is laying the foundations for a lengthy stay as me and Mikey want to be around to watch it.

03 Jan 2018 19:33:37
Improving the squad during each window is a must

03 Jan 2018 19:34:13
Me too leodis, I am over the half century mark myself. Have seen the good days and also the not so good.

03 Jan 2018 21:29:01
I’m with you both on that one gents! When your grey hair gets greyer you look at things a lot different! I just want to see us rubbing shoulders with the big teams again, it really is important for us to build on the work Radz has done and in my opinion Radz and Orta should be looking at where we are in the league and we are not to far away from the second automatic place, so shouldn’t they be thinking about that and invest to push on? Wolves are well clear yet they are prepared to spend big to keep it like that!

03 Jan 2018 21:36:24
Unfortunately, I couldn't disagree more. We've just been taken over recently, and he's bought back our home, and invested. we all know where splashing the cash has taken us before a la ridsdale. and we don't wanna go back there. Slowly, steadily, mindfully. we will be back, just need a good business brain at the helm (oh, got that) , and patience from elsewhere.

03 Jan 2018 21:45:12
I'm one of the oldies as well, but at 60 I reckon I can just about last another season or two to see us beating Citeh, scum and the likes

04 Jan 2018 12:42:39
We supposedly have money sitting in the bank from the sale of wood, another 5 million to come if spurs well Danny rose to Man ut d this transfer window. We have funds to strengthen.

03 Jan 2018 13:39:03
Interesting fact: If all of the teams in the efl were combined, and based on points per game, a league table was fromed, leeds would be 23rd in the league, with an average 1.66 points per game, in 2017.

03 Jan 2018 22:13:58
Mikewoody67 have to agree with you mate, you would think bu the way some on this site we want 100 million spending, take a look a PN the hole team cost 2 mill and it’s have one thing we don’t and that is fight, so I think it not a lot to ask for the same. We may be in 6 place and in the playoffs, but you still have to win and we can’t win against the bottom teams how the hell do you see us winning against the top five team. Delusional

03 Jan 2018 13:06:06
tickets booked for millwall game, got membership as worried it might sell out as unlike millwall we are a proper club, nothing in south stand sadly but in n6 north stand, hoping to break my 15 year hoodoo and looking forward to it! MOT

03 Jan 2018 13:58:33
I always enjoy the kop BW so i'm sure as long as we are playing ok it will be a good atmosphere, particularly against 'wall. we need to make sure we don't let ourselves be bullied by Millwall this time and have a plan for moving the ball to our better players as there was no way through in the match earlier this season.

03 Jan 2018 17:46:15
Unfortunately the game is a little too far north for me to make it. Hope you enjoy BW

03 Jan 2018 18:10:36
Excuses excuses kiwi

03 Jan 2018 18:38:40
Yeah. I'm slack. I know. Even if I catch the game live on TV I won't get around to watching it until the next day.

03 Jan 2018 09:52:26
BW if you are in Leeds the night before the Millwall game i may be able to join you for a swift one or two if you fancy it? can show you a few decent boozers even if they aren't Leeds boozers per se? Eds are you able to forward my email address to Berm?

{Ed033's Note - alftupper email has been sent to Bermondsey White registered email address.

03 Jan 2018 11:13:20
How will that work out with your tag and curfew alf. Will your probation officer take the tag off

03 Jan 2018 12:23:09
got email mate will send something over later today, definatly up for meeting for a drink or two on the friday mate and look forward to it

03 Jan 2018 13:48:24
Didn't think of that Wex! It will be ok if i miss the curfew a few times won't it? What's the worst that can happen?

03 Jan 2018 06:29:15
Still haven't found a link to watch the full Forrest game so finally caved and watched the extended highlights and I've got to say after reading a few of the posts I expected to see much, much worse. Obviously haven't watched the full game but from the HL looks like it could've been 2/3 nil to Leeds easily, Roofe had two chances, hernandez missed a 1 on 1, lassoga came close. I think we looked quite dangerous tbh. I still have faith in TC and the squad, a couple of additions are key but I think everything is quite promising at the moment.

03 Jan 2018 09:46:29
it doesn't take much to bring out the negativity in most Leeds fans! its not all doom and gloom with the last 2 games plus Birmingham and Forest both had a change of managers just before playing us which is never an easy time to play a team. more bad luck than anything else. we will continue to do well against the lower teams and struggle with the top 7/8 if nothing significant changes in the transfer window and probably sneak into the playoffs and lose in the semi's.

03 Jan 2018 10:06:43
At times, OLEAN, we played well and you are right, we could easily have been 3 or 4 up. I believe we can more than hold our own against the lower teams and on our day against the better ones. But only on our day and when we play with confidence. I think TO Can still do the job but I fear all will be to no avail unless we shore up those key positions in this transfer Window. MOT.

03 Jan 2018 12:24:36
hightlights made us look bit better than we were. roofe was unlucky, plus keeper made a few good stops so it was not bad but think the negitivity have come from 1 point against two very poor teams so can see both sides

03 Jan 2018 13:06:16
Roofe was not unlucky. The first effort was powder puff as he should have smashed it. The second chance he demonstrated no composure and should have drilled it into the corner instead of smashing it. Probably being harsh on the first chance as the keeper made a save but should have done better with the chance that hit the bar

03 Jan 2018 15:23:57
Unfortunately too many players go for the glory shot instead of reining in the power and placing it a little. On chances we should have won 3/4 - 0 so all in all am not too down and feel that sooner, rather than later, this team will click and put 4 past some unlucky opponent.
