Leeds Banter Archive April 07 2016

I see Evans has said Sylvestri will return on Saturday and he is the only player guaranted a starting place in the team. Did Sylvestri only get a one game ban for his sending off?

This is a real concern as seeing the young lad Bailey Peacock-Farrell, play n Tursday night he is definitely one for the future. My concern is premiership clubs are sniffing around Bailey with Spurs the latest club showing an interest, Evans had publicly said Bailey will definitely play some games before the season ends and will still be a Leeds player next season. If we are to keep Bailey and get him to sign a new contract he needs to feel if he has a real chance of playing in the first team next year as we won't be able to compete with premiership clubs the salaries Young players will get.

agree, I like silvestri but as the season is over it should be about looking at youth and letting them know leeds is the place for them, same with coyle and sure their are others. i'd love to see about 8 youth players get at least five games a piece and of course sign them all on long term deals.

Stevo will justify the decision to play Silvestri over Farrell by claiming we aren't safe enough for him to risk keeping the kid in goal.

He will only bring the kid in in the last 3 or 4 games, when it is mathematically impossible for us to go down. So I wouldn't hold my breath on any of the younger players getting a decent chance.

Common sense prevails then!

08 Apr 2016 20:36:29
I'm with DS. We need to be 100% safe before we blood him in fully. He had nothing to do Tuesday and a few of his kicks were straight out of the Silvestri handbook of kicking. He needs game time and as soon as we are safe let him prove he could be our number 1 next year.

Does anyone else think that that the EduardoGate is being overegged. I know what he did was wrong and the word he used were far from PC, however, I am sure many a man has cast doubt as to the paternity of many a player from the terraces, indeed dredged up the worst of the worst adjectives straight after the poor target has just given away an own goal. Sometimes the same bile is reserved for the whole team, after another abject performance. I am not excusing his behaviour but let those without a blemish cast the first stone. The lad has apologised, I think he has learnt his lesson, and we must remember 2 things
1) It his not his first language ( I know a few words on foreign languages, many of them swear words, and in their own culture I do not know the level of the swear. 2) He is his fathers son. Maybe a spoilt brat (not a crime) Maybe he opens his mouth before he takes a breath. Sound familiar?
Hopefully the FA will show some commonsense (not noted for it) and tell him bad boy do not do it again - or else.

Nonsense. He deserves a harsh punishment. He knew what he was saying and doing. Set a poor example. Plus how does his comment make physically less abled supporters feel.

Throw book at him then throw Leeds City Library at his father.

07 Apr 2016 19:01:12
Anything positive to say George.

07 Apr 2016 19:20:23
if anyone had a pop at my dad I would be inclined to have more than just some harsh words with them, I understand people in public eye should hold themselves to higher account but actors and singers would get away with that (other than bad press) so it seems odd sports people are held to account.

all something over nothing, different if he brought it up but as a response he should have freedom of speech, they call his dad this he should be able to call them that IMO. one thing I always say is only thing that offends me is when people get offended, which is why some of my plays get me into a lot of trouble.

07 Apr 2016 20:17:12
Agree BW. he is a young lad and his family has had a lot of abuse from certain fans who then use the response for publicity. Wrong words to use but I am sure most of us have done it. To be honest if some one was giving my family that much grief I would not be calling them names, be doing a lot worse than that.

07 Apr 2016 22:54:01
George, if someone verbally insulted your dad would you not defend him as strongly as you can. Would you not want to give them a smack if you could. Would you not call them all the names under the sun if you could not grab them and give them a whack?
I could say some things about you (not that I ever would) but if I start bad mouthing your parents it goes to a whole other level.

07 Apr 2016 23:09:33
Agree BW. Not defending the words he used George, but haven't we all said something in the heat of the moment we've later regretted? I know I have.

I broadly agree with what you say but all you guys are missing the point.
Eduardo chose to wear the family hat when he should've retained the co-director/ co-owner hat. The moment you opt for the former you are bound to lose. Would I defend my parents? Hell yeah! But we don't co-own a football club. Eduardo was unprofessional and he has to know our club has already been through quite a lot so we don't need him making it worse. The other thing is his selection of insult. Spastic has to be the worst word to use on social media in his position.

08 Apr 2016 15:16:34
You do have a very good point george, when working I always wear my professional hat and my mannor and language is always much better. However a theatre manager once theatened my business partner at which point I grabbed him by the throat and theatented to smash his teeth in, this was not professional and I should of acted better however I was suitable provoked. I got away with it because I am not in the public limelight. He should hold himself to better account however I think the slip is only human and this should be taken into account.

Just seen on the leeds united website headline 'Evans has defensive dilemma'!
Are they taking the 'p'?
Leeds have had a defensive dilemma for years. Got to say we are totally inept at the back and most other places too. Start from the back I say. Bring George Graham back if just to sort us out at the back. Doh.

07 Apr 2016 14:10:06

Actually if you think about it there's been no defensive dilemma at all. You need good players for a dilemma. Last good defenders we had were Kisnorbo, Sodje and for a time Naylor. That's 6 years ago. I can't remember anyone else truly decent.
As for GG, no-one with pedigree will touch Leeds because of our problems and issues. There's no warmth in the club, we are an embarrassment and laughing stock. I don't see Cellino investing so I can see us being involved in a relegation dogfight next season. This isn't the Leeds any of us remember. You know things are bad when our enemies feel sorry for us.

07 Apr 2016 14:55:41
It does lack warmth and passion from players
Prob is. As passionate as mc c is. It's not about Leeds. It's about him and how good and smart he thinks he looks
Leeds are a tool for his publicity
It's a sad state of affairs. We are just unlucky. With owner. Intentions. Manager. Capabilities. And players. Ability And care factor
When oh when will it end Romeo!

07 Apr 2016 15:39:49
no one will touch club who will work at club again. BORED BORED BORED BORED BORED. I shall post this every time I see these comments they apply to every club. Did you read the papers about forest? they are in worse place than us but no one is saying this about them.

anyone in football will touch anyone unless they have a better offer. I would not be suprised to see GG back at leeds if offered a job, no one else wants him and low wage is better than no wage, also chance for him to build name again and get better job.

football is football this just does not apply to leeds utd. some people need to step back take a look and take stock. we are no different to other clubs in our position and every club has a pecking order dispite owner, fans, history etc.

07 Apr 2016 18:45:04
BW, I think the last person we need as our coach is an ageing 70s glam rock star with illegal, perverted tendencies!
Oh, sorry I thought you meant the other GG. 😲.

07 Apr 2016 19:24:21
i was going to make a be in his gang joke which would of been funny a few years ago but now means a whole different thing which should be punishable by death. sorry this time I meant graham who won something at arsenal and should be shot for it.

08 Apr 2016 03:38:36
I've never heard of graham glitter.

08 Apr 2016 15:20:18
Aus he is a well known defensive coach who wears platform shoes and sparkly coats songs include

you really got me offside,

running with the arsenal

aint talking bung love

and the spurs won't rock.

07 Apr 2016 08:45:11
Another smart move by Leeds ( NOT )
Playing a young quality keeper when he is out of contract at the end of the season.

Now every Tom, Dick and Harry are after him according to t'internet :- (

07 Apr 2016 12:55:16
But what a way to save 3 grand a week. You know if Cellino keeps this up what I think may happen next is definitely censorship material.

07 Apr 2016 13:37:01
Not much option really though Jay to be fair. Silver Vest suspended, Turnbull out injured and it was between The Proud Peacock or Grimey. I did read that Stevie Stick Insect said he'd go in but he doesn't fill the goal as quick as he used to (what kind of mirror has he got) ? He'd be brilliant at crosses if the ball was deep fried in batter!

I think the point Jay is really saying is why not give the lad an extended contract.
